Android F-Droid build is failing

[DentonGentry]

Forking the project and running the GitLab CI, the failure is: ./version/tailscale-version.sh: 10: set: Illegal option -o pipefail

I believe pipefail is a bash feature. Is it running under a different shell?

[DentonGentry]

Apparently, probably dash.

We've been setting pipefail in tailscale-version.sh since 10/2020, while the F-Droid build started failing in June. Either the pipefail error is harmless, or something changed in the F-Droid CI. I think we'll fix it anyway, though.

Forked F-Droid's fdroiddata repo on GitLab, we can see the CI output now https://gitlab.com/DentonGentry/fdroiddata/-/jobs/1459019935

no signatures found, skipping publish seems key. Signing got broken somehow.

[DentonGentry]

no signatures found, skipping publish comes from https://gitlab.com/DentonGentry/fdroiddata/-/blob/master/tools/build-contains-signatures.py#L21

I think it is looking for metadata/com.tailscale.ipn/signatures/1.12.1-1d7592eb117-g1fc94ccf979/*

[DentonGentry]

Oh: this is likely because I'm running the CI in my fork, which of course won't have the signing keys.

Shoot.

[DentonGentry]

I think tailscale/tailscale-android@67c2869 is likely to fix this.

I'm expecting to build another 1.13.x unstable release tomorrow, after tailscale/tailscale-android#17 does in, which will trigger another F-Droid build. We'll see.

[DentonGentry]

We just pushed tailscale/tailscale-android@3575ef7, for 1.13.19-td37451bac-g82b6b8dbd36, which will kick off a new F-Droid build sometime in the next 24 hours, whenever the bot notices.

It has not noticed yet: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/blob/master/metadata/com.tailscale.ipn.yml

[DentonGentry]

FDroidbot noticed the 1.13.19-td37451bac-g82b6b8dbd36 update about an hour ago: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.tailscale.ipn/

Unfortunately https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.tailscale.ipn/ still shows 1.11.106 as the current version.

[DentonGentry]

I asked for help from F-Droid: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/issues/2446

[DentonGentry]

F-Droid developers responded quickly on the issue: the builder has a large backlog. It isn't that our builds are failing, it is that the builder is behind. It sounded like something happened that slowed it or stopped it for a few days, so now it has to churn through extra work to catch up.

There are two issues in the build scripts printing errors which I'll fix, but those errors aren't causing the build to fail just complaining during the build.

Yesterday the F-Droid builder released Version 1.11.151-d145c594ad6-g7b2e61e80cd. We'll just monitor it for a while as it progresses.
