So I want more eyes on this issue. The underlying problem which has been repeated as "just use

hhd-dev/rechunker

hhd-dev/rechunker

hhd-dev/rechunker

hhd-dev/rechunker" isn't a good answer here tbh. It needs to be made better to not cause these issues to begin with.

Following up in a thread as the other discussion was a bit much for the channel

@tulip or @Robert can you fill me on on this? I assume you know a bit more about the situation than be given your involvement in bluefin:

Is
hhd-dev/rechunker
hhd-dev/rechunker
created from ublue team? What is stopping us from splitting the repo up a bit and making it more versatile?

tulip•6/5/25, 7:52 PM

oh it was made by antheas

Robert•6/5/25, 7:52 PM

hhd-dev/rechunk is created by someone who is involved in the ublue project, but the rechunker itself is not a ublue project

tulip•6/5/25, 7:53 PM

that was the only rechunker for a while

tulip•6/5/25, 7:53 PM

then it got those workarounds and now we are stuck with them

tulip•6/5/25, 7:53 PM

we could put it on the org, ye!

tulip•6/5/25, 7:53 PM

im not sure why rechunk has so many things in it

VenefilynOP•6/5/25, 7:54 PM

Slowly added to because it was easy?

Robert•6/5/25, 7:55 PM

It solved problems we had at the time, but since then upstream projects (rpm-ostree and/or bootc) have resolved the problems, and a few of the rechunk fixes turn into kind of footguns that aren't easy to remove

VenefilynOP•6/5/25, 7:55 PM

Also I kinda hate how hhd-dev/rechunker is supposed to change the image. I like the approach that bootc-base-imagectlbootc-base-imagectl handled it

VenefilynOP•6/5/25, 7:56 PM

But yeah. Is it worth it for me to see if I can split out the actions from hhd-dev and make it less dependant on each other?

VenefilynOP•6/5/25, 7:56 PM

Can transfer it over to ublue later on if it goes somewhere :p

Robert•6/5/25, 7:56 PM

Personal opinion would be to contribute to the upstream bootc-base-imagectl tooling

VenefilynOP•6/5/25, 7:57 PM

I'll check with them if they would want it there

Robert•6/5/25, 7:58 PM

Robert•6/5/25, 7:59 PM

Well, not really integrating it, but working around the limitations. This would stop the boot breaking when a sysuser entry exists for a preexisting group/user

VenefilynOP•6/5/25, 8:00 PM

Yeah but that might take a while it feels like due to needing design discussions. Better to focus on the bootc-image-ctlbootc-image-ctl in short-term at least

VenefilynOP•6/5/25, 8:02 PM

Ohh actually https://github.com/coreos/rpm-ostree/pull/5403
