This is a separate commit, as it describes the results (as sha256sum) of doing a test on the previous commit. Obviously these values will have to updated after a rebase! Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>pr-2391

# Rusty's Unreliable Guide to The Terrible World of Reproducible Builds |
|||
|
|||
1. The reproducible build system currently only supports Ubuntu 18.04.1. |
|||
2. It requires manual steps. |
|||
3. The input is a source zipfile, the output is a .tar.xz. |
|||
|
|||
## Step 1: Creating a Build Machine |
|||
|
|||
Download the Ubuntu Desktop ISO image for 18.04.1. I got it from |
|||
http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/18.04.1/ubuntu-18.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso |
|||
|
|||
The `sha256sum` of this file should be |
|||
`5748706937539418ee5707bd538c4f5eabae485d17aa49fb13ce2c9b70532433`. |
|||
|
|||
Do a standard install, but make sure to *uncheck* 'Download updates |
|||
while installing Ubuntu' in the installer (or simply deprive it of a |
|||
network connection as I do below). I did the following to install under kvm: |
|||
|
|||
qemu-img create ubuntu-18.04.01.raw 10G |
|||
kvm -m 2G -cdrom ~/Downloads/ubuntu-18.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso ubuntu-18.04.01.raw -nic none |
|||
|
|||
You can choose a 'Minimal installation': it shouldn't matter. |
|||
|
|||
Once the installation is over, it'll want to restart. Then make sure you |
|||
disable updates: |
|||
|
|||
1. Left-click on the bottom left 9-dots menu |
|||
2. Type "update" |
|||
3. Click on the "Software & Up.." box icon. |
|||
4. Click on the "Updates" tab at the top of that app. |
|||
5. Uncheck "Important security updates", "Recommended updates" and |
|||
"Unsupported updates". You'll have to re-enter your password. |
|||
6. Hit "Close". |
|||
7. If asked, hit "Reload". |
|||
|
|||
If you didn't have a network connection, you'll want to add one for |
|||
the next steps; for me, this meant powering off the build machine and restarting: |
|||
|
|||
kvm -m 2G ubuntu-18.04.01.raw -nic user |
|||
|
|||
And then ran `sudo apt-get update` after I'd logged in. |
|||
|
|||
## Step 2: Create the Source Zipfile |
|||
|
|||
Create the source zip that the Build Machine will need, using |
|||
|
|||
./tools/build-release.sh zipfile |
|||
|
|||
For testing (ie. when you're not on a proper released version), you |
|||
can use --force-version=, --force-mtime= and even --force-unclean. |
|||
|
|||
The will place a file into `release/`, eg. `clightning-v0.7.0rc2.zip`. |
|||
|
|||
### Example |
|||
|
|||
If you are on the git commit v0.7.0rc2 (1dcc4823507df177bf11ca60ab7da988205139b1): |
|||
``` |
|||
$ sha256sum release/clightning-v0.7.0rc2.zip |
|||
3c980858024b8b429333e7ee5a545c499ac6c25d0f1d11bb45fafce00c99ebba release/clightning-v0.7.0rc2.zip |
|||
``` |
|||
|
|||
## Step 3: Put the Zipfile Onto The Build Machine |
|||
|
|||
You can upload it somewhere and download it into the machine, or |
|||
various virtualization solutions or a USB stick for a physical machine. |
|||
|
|||
I simply started a server on my host, like so: |
|||
|
|||
cd release && python3 -m http.server --bind 127.0.0.1 8888 |
|||
|
|||
Inside my KVM build machine I did: |
|||
|
|||
wget http://10.0.2.2:8888/clightning-v0.7.0rc2.zip |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
## Step 4: Do the Build |
|||
|
|||
1. `unzip clightning-v0.7.0rc2.zip` |
|||
2. `cd clightning-v0.7.0rc2` |
|||
3. `tools/repro-build.sh` (use the same `--force-mtime` if testing). |
|||
It will download the packages needed to build, check they're identitcal to the |
|||
versions we expect, install them then build the binaries and create a tar.xz file. |
|||
4. The output will be in that top-level directory. |
|||
|
|||
### Example: |
|||
|
|||
If you built from our example zipfile: |
|||
``` |
|||
$ sha256sum clightning-v0.7.0rc2-Ubuntu-18.04.tar.xz |
|||
c9b4d9530b9b41456f460c58e3ffaa779cdc1c11fb9e3eaeea0f364b62de3d96 clightning-v0.7.0rc2-Ubuntu-18.04.tar.xz |
|||
``` |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
## Step 5: Get the Built Result Off the Build Machine |
|||
|
|||
Again, there are many ways, but for my KVM settings the simplest was: |
|||
|
|||
On the host: |
|||
|
|||
nc -l -p 8888 > clightning-v0.7.0rc2-Ubuntu-18.04.tar.xz |
|||
|
|||
On the guest: |
|||
|
|||
nc -q0 10.0.2.2 8888 < clightning-v0.7.0rc2-Ubuntu-18.04.tar.xz |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
## Step 5: Tell the World |
|||
|
|||
You can find my example artifacts on https://ozlabs.org/~rusty/clightning-repro |
|||
if you want to see why your build produced a different result from mine. |
|||
|
|||
Happy hacking! |
|||
Rusty. |
