Release workflow: prebuilt flea-bin for x86_64 and aarch64 on every tag - #158
akitaonrails wants to merge 3 commits into
Conversation
A vX.Y.Z tag now runs .github/workflows/release.yml: Flea is tested and built natively on ubuntu-24.04 and ubuntu-24.04-arm, one tarball per architecture is staged by packaging/flea-bin-tarball and attached to the tag's GitHub release, packaging/flea-bin/PKGBUILD is proved against those assets with makepkg in an Arch container for both architectures, and flea-bin is pushed to the AUR when the AUR_SSH_KEY secret is set. Without the secret the push is skipped with a warning and nothing else changes. flea-bin is flea with the binary prebuilt: the same depends, optdepends and package() body, which the verify job diffs against PKGBUILD so the two cannot drift, and the same 223 paths on disk. docs/release.md is the operator's side: what to tag, the one-time AUR key setup, and every step by hand.

…tion a_directory_copy_that_fails_short_of_a_cancel_keeps_the_tree_and_reports_it read the size off the progress callback to decide which destination to take from under the copy, but a tree copy reports against the tree's running total, so the size was never the file's and the test always planted a.bin. That collides only when read_dir yields b.bin first, which tmpfs does and ext4, btrfs and overlayfs do not: measured, the test passed on tmpfs and failed on all three of the others, so it fails on any Ubuntu runner, whose /tmp is ext4. The file being cut is the one destination that exists when the first bytes land; the other one is the one to take, in whichever order read_dir yields, which is what the comment always said.

undo refuses a copied directory when anything inside it has a change time newer than the directory's own, reading that as added since. A tree copy that fails short of the end left the partial directory with the change time of its last create, and the write that filled that last file lands a clock tick later often enough to see: measured under load on an Ubuntu 24.04 container, a_copy_that_fails_short_of_a_cancel_records_the _partial_tree_and_undo_removes_it failed 3 runs in 6, and undo left a partial tree in place that this operation had made. The success path already moves the directory's change time last, when it puts the source's mode back; the failure path now moves it too, with the mode it already has, so undo can still take the tree away. 6 runs in 6 pass after.

Fix the SSH troubleshooting sequence.
Step 5 instructs the maintainer to delete flea-aur-deploy, but Line 95 later uses that private key file with ssh -T. After following the setup instructions, the diagnostic command cannot run.
Move this check before the deletion step, or state that the private key must be retained or recreated for troubleshooting.

Clarify the architecture wording.
flea-bin provides one architecture-specific binary per release. The release documentation and PKGBUILD define separate x86_64 and aarch64 assets. The singular wording can imply that one binary supports both architectures.
Use “a prebuilt binary for x86_64 or aarch64 in every release.”

Repair descendant permissions before recording a partial tree. On a non-cancelled copy failure, copy_dir_at records the destination and makes only the root directory writable. A completed child may already have been restored to a mode without owner-write permission. undo::reverse removes the recorded tree with std::fs::remove_dir_all, which can fail while deleting entries inside that child. Call owner_can_write(&into) before setting p.partial; making only the root writable does not repair descendant directories.

Why
Every install of Flea today compiles it.
flea(AUR) andflea-gitboth runcargo build --release --lockedand the full suite on the user's machine, and the GitHub releases carry only a source tarball. On a laptop that is minutes; on an aarch64 box it is a long wait for a binary that has no crate dependencies and links nothing but glibc and gcc-libs. There is noflea-binon the AUR yet (I checked: the name is free).This PR adds a release workflow that builds and tests Flea natively on x86_64 and aarch64 on every
vX.Y.Ztag, attaches the two prebuilt tarballs to the tag's GitHub release, and publishes aflea-binAUR package that installs them.omarchy pkg aur add flea-binthen installs in seconds. Nothing aboutflea,flea-gitor the rootPKGBUILDchanges.Three commits. The first is the feature; the other two are what running the suite on Ubuntu runners turned up, each with its own measurement in the commit message, and each is separable if you disagree with it.
1.
feat(release): the workflow, the package, the docs.github/workflows/release.yml, four jobs on a tag push (orworkflow_dispatchwith an existing tag asref, to re-run one):vX.Y.Z;Cargo.toml,PKGBUILDandpackaging/flea-bin/PKGBUILDall say that version; andflea-bindeclares the samedepends/optdependsand the samepackage()body asPKGBUILD(cd line and binary line aside). A runtime dependency added to one PKGBUILD and not the other fails the release before anything builds.ubuntu-24.04andubuntu-24.04-arm(GitHub's free arm64 runners for public repos, so the aarch64 leg runs the real test suite instead of cross-compiling an untested binary):cargo test --release --locked,cargo build --release --locked, thenpackaging/flea-bin-tarballstagesflea-vX.Y.Z-linux-<arch>.tar.gzand a.sha256sidecar.tests/js.shandtests/keymap-gen.share not run there: both needqml6, which Ubuntu does not ship on PATH, andjs.shreads an installed Omarchy besides.docs/release-notes-X.Y.Z.mdwhen present), otherwise attaches to it. Only the two tarballs and sidecars are ever written or replaced; your hand-uploaded source tarball andSHASUMS256.txtare left alone.makepkgin anarchlinux:base-develcontainer against the assets just published, once as x86_64 and once as aarch64, and fails unless the two packages hold the same file list. Only then, and only when theAUR_SSH_KEYsecret exists, pushesPKGBUILD+ regenerated.SRCINFOtossh://aur@aur.archlinux.org/flea-bin.gitviaKSXGitHub/github-actions-deploy-aur(pinned to a commit). Without the secret the step warns and skips; everything else still completes.packaging/flea-bin/PKGBUILD:fleawith the binary prebuilt. Samedepends,optdepends,provides=flea,conflicts=(flea flea-git), per-archsource_x86_64/source_aarch64,options=('!strip' '!debug')since the release profile already strips.sha256sumsreadSKIPin-tree so a version bump is one line; the workflow refuses to push aSKIPto the AUR.packaging/flea-bin-tarball: stages the tarball from a built binary. Refuses a binary whose ELFe_machineis not the requested arch, or whose--versionis not the requested version. Output is reproducible (fixed owner, order, mtime from the commit date).docs/release.md: how to cut a release, the one-time AUR key setup, and every step by hand.docs/install.mdandREADME.md: mentionflea-bin.All action references are pinned to commit SHAs. The Rust toolchain action is pinned to a
mastercommit withtoolchain: stablerather than to thestablebranch, because dtolnay recreates the version branches on every toolchain release and a commit pinned from one is orphaned by the next. Permissions arecontents: readexcept thereleasejob, which needscontents: writeto create the release with the defaultGITHUB_TOKEN. No other token is needed.2.
test: the collision copy test only passed on tmpfsa_directory_copy_that_fails_short_of_a_cancel_keeps_the_tree_and_reports_itread the size off the progress callback to decide which destination to take from under the copy, but a tree copy reports against the tree's running total, so the size was never the file's and the test always planteda.bin. That collides only whenread_diryieldsb.binfirst. Measured in the same Ubuntu 24.04 container with/tmpon four filesystems: passes on tmpfs, fails on ext4, btrfs and overlayfs. A hosted runner's/tmpis ext4, so the suite could not pass there. The test now takes whichever destination does not exist yet, which is what its own comment always said ("whichever order read_dir yields").3.
fix(copy): a tree left partial could refuse its own undoundorefuses a copied directory when anything inside has a change time newer than the directory's own. A tree copy that fails short of the end left the partial directory with the change time of its last create, while the write that filled that last file lands a clock tick later often enough to see.a_copy_that_fails_short_of_a_cancel_records_the_partial_tree_and_undo_removes_itcaught it intermittently: under load in the Ubuntu container it failed 3 full-suite runs in 6; alone it passed 40 in 40. The success path already moves the directory's change time last, when it puts the source's mode back. The failure path now does the same with the mode it already has (the writable one this run made, so undo can still remove it). 6 runs in 6 pass after. This is a product fix, small, but yours to judge.What you need to do once (AUR credentials)
