06 Dec '18

Hello everyone, the new Apertis 18.12.0 stable release is now available! You can find the full release notes at https://wiki.apertis.org/18.12/ReleaseNotes Some highlights from this release: * Base SDK A new simplified recipe for SDK images is part of the release, helping product team to produce customized SDKs for their needs. * Devroots Devroots provide the most reliable way to build packages for foreign architectures, avoiding the complexity and fragility of pure cross- compilation environments. * Apertis NFS rootfs Apertis now provide kernel and rootfs pairs for NFS and uses them to boot the first stage of the LAVA tests, ensuring that hardware support matches between the two stages. * Test case definitions improvements Test case definitions have been converted to YAML and stored in git, providing a better workflow for writing and reviewing testcases and a more solid foundation for further QA enhancements. The full release notes contain more details about all the work that has landed in this release: https://wiki.apertis.org/18.12/ReleaseNotes Images are already available for download at https://images.apertis.org/release/18.12/18.12.0/ Thanks to everyone who contributed! -- Emanuele Aina www.collabora.com

New Apertis 18.09.0 stable release available
by Emanuele Aina 28 Sep '18

28 Sep '18

Hello everyone, the new Apertis 18.09.0 stable release is now available! You can find the full release notes at https://wiki.apertis.org/18.09/ReleaseNotes Some highlights from this release: * Testing on immutable rootfs High priority tests have been converted to preserve the base rootfs and carry their dependencies in a self-contained bundle: this improves the value of testing by keeping the tested system as close to the final one and enables testing on systems with a immutable rootfs like the OSTree images. * GPLv3 sources cleanup Some contents covered by the GPLv3 have been removed by packages in the target repository to make licensing scans easier. The involved GPLv3 code has never affected the binary artifacts in the images, but removing it from the packages avoids a considerable amount of whitelisting. * Full file and package lists for each artifact Artifacts now come with metadata files listing shipped packages and files to make checks and collecting statistics much easier/faster. * Automatic updates on Phabricator about test failures in LAVA Test failures are now automatically filed as task in Phabricator, considerably reducing the amount of manual work. * Dockerization of Jenkins jobs Now all jobs run under Docker, massively improving their reproducibility and providing more flexibility.

New Apertis 18.03 stable release available
by Andrew Shadura 19 Mar '18

19 Mar '18

Hello everyone, The new Apertis 18.03 stable release is now available. You can find the full release notes at: https://wiki.apertis.org/18.03/ReleaseNotes Some highlights from this release: * Build infrastructure This release has focused on completing the migration to the new debos building pipeline which was started during the 17.12 release cycle and is now complete. The new pipeline is meant to be faster and more flexible, and also allow developers to easily build custom images on their machines. A design document has been added to cover the high-level concept and infrastructure setup required for debos based image building. Please see the release notes for the details on the new Git repositories for the infrastructure-related files. * API deprecations We have continued to mark obsolete or problematic APIs with the ABI break tag as a way to clear technical debt in future. * LAVAv2 migration We have dropped support for LAVAv1 jobs, having completed the transition started during the preparation of 17.12 release. The full release notes contain more details about all the work that has been poured in this release: https://wiki.apertis.org/18.03/ReleaseNotes Images are already available for download at: https://images.apertis.org/release/18.03/ Thanks to everyone who contributed! -- Cheers, Andrew

New Apertis 17.12.1 stable release available
by Emanuele Aina 05 Feb '18

05 Feb '18

Hello everyone, the new Apertis 17.12.1 update to the stable release is now available! You can find the full release notes at https://wiki.apertis.org/17.12.1/ReleaseNotes In particular in this update the Bash shell is no longer being shipped on minimal and target images, as Bash is now GPLv3 and those images are meant to provide a reference for deployments where some of the GPLv3 provisions can be excessively challenging to fulfill. This means that scripts relying on /bin/bash being available or /bin/sh supporting Bash-specific features won't work anymore. Those scripts need to be updated to use /bin/sh (which is now provided by the Dash shell) and should only rely on POSIX shell features. The full release notes contain more details about all the work that has landed in this release: https://wiki.apertis.org/17.12.1/ReleaseNotes Images are already available for download at https://images.apertis.org/release/17.12/17.12.1/ Thanks to everyone who contributed! -- Emanuele Aina www.collabora.com

22 Dec '17

Hello everyone, the new Apertis 17.12 stable release is now available! You can find the full release notes at https://wiki.apertis.org/17.12/ReleaseNotes Some highlights from this release: * New infrastructure to build images The new pipeline based on the debos tool is meant to be faster and more flexible, and also allow developers to easily build custom images on their machines. * LAVAv2 Our testing rig has been switched to LAVAv2, after LAVAv1 development has stopped. This gave us support for ARM64 boards and for running tests in QEMU, freeing resources on the hardware targets. * OSTree Preliminary work has been started to use OSTree as the basis for a robust and efficient update mechanism. * LXC template A template script for LXC makes using Apertis in a container as simple as possible, using OSTree for updates.
