Aostree container commit now cleans up /var iirc
Aunless I am making stuff up which is possible
Bright, but i mean, I don't think mkdir /etc/alternatives is required, but mkdir /var/lib/alternatives is...
at least, i think

BI can't work on ublue tonight, need to do $DAYJOB, prep for some family stuff this weekend, and hopefully I'll get a few minutes to game myself 
Jwe could start small with just the one and see what we can get away with. 
AIn theory I think we could build a container like:
buildah build -v /somedir:/var/lib/alternatives
buildah build -v /somedir:/var/lib/alternatives
Bwell, i already do it in
ublue-os/akmods Jyeah and I'm hopefully starting a new job here in about 2 weeks so more chillops
Jwait is this in akmods?
AYay! What’s your new position?
BJI can't say yet but I am very excited and it'll be awesome.
Jhuh, if that was in there why didn't I have it in bluefin?
JI think it's been in there long enough to trickle down?
Bwell that doesn't trickle down, akmods builds, then main copies RPMS from akmods to install
Joh oh, right, you clean up after yourself
J
JI call this one
dedication.pngBeach Containerfile build needs to have it's own
mkdir -p /var/lib/alternatives if it's going to install any RPMs which need alternatives... so, IMHO, it's just a nice default hack until upstream Fedora and/or package maintainers find better solutions for alternativesJok so maybe the play is to add this as a snippet in the make your own page as a gotcha, that's a nice friday afternoon thing I can do
Jalas, my sabbatical is nearly over lol
Bas in, have to go back to work?
Jyeah
Balso, i'm sorry if i came in and derailed some conversation, i just wanted to offere another solution
Jit's all good, I hadn't realized you had dug into this so deeply
Bi'm more wondering if we need to seriously consider bypassing rpmfusion's mirrormanager
Bbut again, i shouldn't think about this right now LOL
J
Jthe rpmfusion sync is a new kernel, and a new mesa all at around the same time
Bsay what?
J6.3 kernel and 23.1 mesa
Bbut that breaks their mirrors?
JI had a build with package conflicts, etc.
Jthe usual stuff
Jnot just the mirror thing
Bah, i see
Bwell, i'm glad we got at least one build last night before the scheduled builds faild
Jyeah they failed this morning
Jall across the board
Jr/fedora is a good radar for that, that's how I knew it was just not the mirror thing, then I know exactly what to look for
JI'd love to find out if rpmfusion has like a mirror for CI systems only, that'd be ideal
J"hey give us access to a thing where it can be reliable and in return we can offload a bunch of image based traffic off your mirrors" might be a good pitch. 
Byeah, i'm not an expert on the mirrorings systems
Bbut hey, broken builds means... USERS ARE NOT BREAKING THEIR SYSTEMS
Bi hadn't really had a chance to look, but the reason main is failing https://github.com/ublue-os/main/actions/runs/5150393847/jobs/9274470128 is not necessarily because rpm-fusion updated kernels, but rather because akmods has not succeeded SINCE rpm-fusion updated
JI see you kicked it off, saw this scroll by just now
J
Jhey look it's our friend!
Bi'm happy to do a round of actions babysitting to try to get this clean again
J6.3.4 too, there it is!
