Topic: 2021.02 fix release

Since a few days the Windows build is broken cause Cygwin removed the old binutils package I used for patching the broken current package, but now they have a new one which appears to work. I also need to look into Ubuntu failures.

Is there anything else known which needs fixing in 2021.02?

I dunno what needs to be done, but I'd be great if the package problem could be fixed quickly as it is making Coq's CI fail [and I understand that's a super easy fix]

@Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias : I am working on fixing the Coq Platform CI issues (there was a very recent Windows issue which is fixed and a then it doesn't seem to work on Ubuntu 20 (the CI machines recently switched) - some basic OCaml issue. I still don't know what the "packaging" issue is you mentioned - can you please clarify / point me to relevant CI logs?

Just wanted to state the Coq Platform has issues with opam 2.1.0 - this is the reason it fails on Ubuntu in CI. On Windows we use a special MinGW version which is older. Nut sure why the Mac CI doesn't use opam 2.1.0 though need to check. The incompatibility is depext, which has been integrated into 2.1.0.

@Michael Soegtrop I had a look and it turns out that what we test in Coq's CI is a branch called dev-ci , I'm unsure what the idea is here, but that branch has diverged significantly from the main one in the platform scripts @Enrico Tassi

Hum, yes the branching scheme is changing, I don't know if the new model (monobranch) is in place yet or not.

@Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias : ah yes, I forgot. The usual Coq Platform branch builds specific pics of everything - this is not very useful for Coq's CI. So there is an extra branch which builds the opam dev packages of everything.

Since it is a bit of a pain to maintain both, I am working on a new Coq Platform branch which supports different versions of Coq, inlcuding the dev-ci version. This will come within a few days (currently busy with doing fixes caused by changes in opam).

I guess it should be quick to cherry pick the Cygwin fixes in the dev-ci branch for the time beeing.

view this post on Zulip Michael Soegtrop (Aug 31 2021 at 12:08):

@Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias : I cherry picked the 3 relevant commits from 2021.02 to dev-ci. This should work now (Coq Platform CI on this is still running, so I don't know).

With the "multi-version" branch this should be better - the main issue we have in Coq Platform is that we can't run (easily) daily CI on several branches, so dev-ci is untested on Coq Platform side. With the multi-version branch, we can regularly test the dev variant as well.

Thanks! I'm gonna update the Coq's CI branch too and see how it goes

Just to make sure: the "multi-version" branch is not yet released, but should come soon.

@Théo Zimmermann @Enrico Tassi I fixed 2021.02 so that it works with recent cygwin and recent opam. I don't see other things to fix, so I plan to tag and publish this is 2021.02.3.

2021.09 I plan to do based on the multi-version branch - I think it would be OK then to just add 8.14 as variant to 2021.09, since this wouldn't touch any of the existing versions. In the 8.13 variant I would update all packages to the latest ones which work with 8.13 (e.g. update VST).

I am unsure what to do with the 8.12 and earlier variants. Should the package versions be frozen to whatever it was back then, or should we also try to update them to the latest which works on 8.12 ...? Or should we have both, say 8.12-original and 8.12-updated?

view this post on Zulip Michael Soegtrop (Aug 31 2021 at 12:29):

The same would then of cause apply to 8.13 as well, although for 8.13 the situation is slightly different since 8.14 is not yet there, so 8.13 is still the latest Coq.

@Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias : the dev-ci Windows builds pass now except coq-interval.dev which I guess is somehow normal with the move to Flocq 4. Please let me know if I shall remove it or if you patch the version (the dev-ci branch as special mechanisms to pin package versions from the command line). The Ubuntu build probably needs some updates on the CI script side.

view this post on Zulip Michael Soegtrop (Aug 31 2021 at 13:46):

Regarding the "updated picks in the multi-variant" question: I guess the answer is that 8.13 will come with two picks, one from 2021.02 and one from 2021.09. All other versions have only one pick, because there was only one official platform release for them.

The regular runner succeeded tho https://gitlab.com/coq/coq/-/jobs/1549277449 , so it seems that coq-interval.dev somehow is not affected or tested in Coq's Ci.

@Emilio Jesús Gallego Arias : I somehow can't find the error text you pasted in the first log you linked ...

Regarding the succeeding build: this has -extent=i (=IDE, see platform-windows.bat ) which means it only builds Coq and CoqIDE. In Coq Platform CI I test -extent=f(=FULL) which builds a lot more.

It makes sense to test only Coq and CoqIDE in the Coq Platform Windows build of Coq CI, since one can expect that other packages don't depend that much on the OS.

In the Coq Platform Dev CI it makes sense to test everything, so that we are warned in advance if stuff breaks.

The snap seems to work fine and the few fixes are there (eg the .desktop entry starts coqide correctly)

view this post on Zulip Michael Soegtrop (Sep 02 2021 at 13:43):

There is a test file in the smoke test kit, assuming gappa is installed (there is a Coq plugin calling the gappa executable).
I had the impression that it is explicitly excluded in snap because there was a bug that Coq didn't compile if gappa was not included because Coq now requires GMP, which gappa also happens to install, but Coq not. So no gappa, no Coq. I fixed this meanwhile. In the older version the prerequisites of gappa have always been installed regardless if gappa was requested or not, so that this did hide the missing dependency of Coq. (btw.: this is mostly about unattended installations - for attended installations opam would ask the user, but in CI there is nobody to answer, so Coq Platform does the things where opam might ask questions upfront with "unsafe-yes").

view this post on Zulip Michael Soegtrop (Sep 02 2021 at 13:44):

I don't think a shortcut link to the gappa executable is required as long as the plugin works, but @Guillaume Melquiond might have a different opinion on that.

view this post on Zulip Guillaume Melquiond (Sep 02 2021 at 13:48):

No, that seems fine. As for the plugin, as long as gappa is in the PATH, it should work fine. (Does Snap adjust it so that binaries are visible from other binaries?)

By chance I also found another bug in the snap, which requires a little patch which I'm testing. The home plug does not let one read (nor write) hidden files and Coq create a .x.aux file next to each x.vo. I don't know if things changed recently (I had to remove the old snap), or if I tested things the wrong way (e.g. granting extra rights to the snap locally). Anyway, this may require a silly patch on 8.14 as well, since we don't protect open_out with a try-with in aux_file.ml.

So apparently snap sets a PATH which contains /usr/games which does not exists on my system. Hence the warnings. While I add COQBIN I could also remove non existing entries... or I could patch coq to not complain about bogus PATH...

https://github.com/coq/platform/pull/127 makes gappa work, but you still have the warnings because of the confinement mode. In particular the cleanup code for the path is not helping. snap is putting in the path stuff like /usr/games, but from the snap I can't ls that directory nor run any file in it. Similarly /bin is there, and I can run ls (from there) but I can't ls /bin. So I'm afraid the only way out is to comment out the warning in Coq.

From past experience, I would say no. But I anyway plan to do 2021.09 now, which supports multiple versions and I plan to add a 8.14 preview version. Also I have a good application for your debugger now and also plan to make your branch work. I guess it should work next weekend.

sudo snap install --dangerous /tmp/coq-prover_2021-02-1_amd64.snap

I guess this is for non official releases (locally downloaded packages).

view this post on Zulip Michael Soegtrop (Sep 07 2021 at 13:15):

And I guess I do sudo apt-get install snap first?

How would I install an officially released snap package?

sudo snap install coq-prover

I thought snap was preinstalled on ubuntu, but maybe it is not the case.

I see the snap is in uploaded to the store. Do you want me to publish it?

It's "revision" 25

Let me have a quick look myself first ...

We can also put it in beta, then you can get it by passing --beta to snap (now you need to pass --edge, which is the channel populated by CI).

ok

note that latest is not the only track, there is one for the 2021.02 series

Ah OK ...

and we should ask the admins to create a 2021.09 track as well

view this post on Zulip Enrico Tassi (Sep 07 2021 at 15:31):

I can take care of that (if .09 is final)

view this post on Zulip Michael Soegtrop (Sep 07 2021 at 15:32):

Yes, it will be 2021.09 - should only be a few days of work. Since it is multi-version I release it first with 8.13 as release and 8.14 as preview and in 2021.09.1 we can put in the release 8.14.

view this post on Zulip Enrico Tassi (Sep 07 2021 at 15:37):

ok, so I'll ask for the creation of 2021.09

Yes please. And I took some notes on the snap process ...

@Enrico Tassi : one thing I almost forgot: the Windows installers need to be signed by INRIA. Can you take care of this? You can use the artifacts from the "Set version" commit.

Did we also sign the MacOS DMG?

yes

I am not sure of the previous package was signed

OK, I don't have the siganture password (and I think I shouldn't since it is an INRIA signature), so I fear you have to do that as well.

view this post on Zulip Michael Soegtrop (Sep 07 2021 at 16:09):

Apparently the 2021.02.1 release was not signed for MacOS.

I got the Windows installers - this was quick :-) Maybe we should change the name one day ...

it seems to come from codesign

view this post on Zulip Enrico Tassi (Sep 08 2021 at 08:17):

@Michael Soegtrop if the problem is the symlink one (I can of recall you changing this) then I can hack it (replace the symlink by the symlinked) and get a signed dmg

view this post on Zulip Michael Soegtrop (Sep 08 2021 at 08:20):

I darkly remember that we had this issue before and did the same hack before. So yes, please go ahead. I will try to fix it properly in 2021.09.

@Enrico Tassi : the signed package does not work - even when opened with override. MacOS complains that it can't be scanned for malicious software but there seems to be more to it.

view this post on Zulip Enrico Tassi (Sep 08 2021 at 10:29):

well, I can't really help to debug this. My only change was to rm coqide; cp ../wherever/coqide .

If you want try a new one and sign it yourself, instructions are here https://github.com/coq/coq/wiki/SigningReleases and the passwords, well, I can give them to you

view this post on Zulip Michael Soegtrop (Sep 08 2021 at 12:48):

Yes, I guess this is best - can you please send me the password via email?

I wonder if I should publish the unsigned installer meanwhile - the 2021.02.1 was also unsigned and on Mac this is not that bad - one has to open the App once from Finder with open - I can put a remark in the release notes.

PGP-encrypted e-mail I guess then :smile:

view this post on Zulip Michael Soegtrop (Sep 08 2021 at 13:09):

Sure, although I guess PGP security suffered a bit from Corona - no key signing parties any more ... in Germany we meanwhile have an email system where you authenticate with your electronic ID card - quite convenient.

view this post on Zulip Enrico Tassi (Sep 08 2021 at 13:13):

I think we already tried to exchange a PGP encrypted email, I found an email exchange where your tell me that pub key is not on public servers... Anyway, how do I get your pub key?

I will send you a signed email a bit later and post the fingerprint in a private message here.
