Late last night I successfully built Incus as a Debian package for
the first time! 🎉️
There are two blockers before we can perform the initial upload to
NEW:
1 -- Remaining build deps:
* We're still waiting on bin:golang-github-canonical-lxd-dev to
make it through NEW.
* golang-github-grafana-dskit-dev still needs to be packaged, but
Incus seems to only have a single use of that library in
internal/server/loki/loki.go. Last night I just patched out any
reference in loki.go to dskit/backoff so everything else could build.
Obviously not an ideal approach. However, do we want to consider
disabling loki support in Incus for the time being to facilitate
getting Incus into Debian? I'll keep working on packaging dskit and
eventually we can re-enable loki support once it's packaged.
2 -- Testing/QA:
* General testing: Later today I'm planning to start testing Incus
on a sid machine. I'm sure this will turn up various things to
fix/tweak. Before uploading to NEW, at a minimum I'll want to make sure
containers and VMs work out-of-the-box.
* LXD migration: Simple migrations from LXD to Incus should work.
* QA: Go through the debian/ directory in the Incus packaging to
make sure it's all in good shape and is synced up with current LXD
packaging work.
Excited to be close to the finish line on this!
