Every pull request now builds the package directories it touches on
ephemeral DigitalOcean droplets, and every merge to master publishes the
resulting artifacts into the channels each package belongs to. The
repository host's timers become the fallback rather than the pipeline.
Build (.github/workflows/build-pr.yml)
One job per package per architecture, always against edge. The artifact
is labelled with the package directory's git tree hash. Tooling (bin/,
helpers/, build/) is checked out from the base branch; the PR supplies
only pkgbuilds/, so a PR can change what is built, never how. Builds
run only for trusted authors: collaborators, .github/VOUCHED.td, or a
PR carrying the build-approved label. A single required check, result,
aggregates the matrix.
Publish (.github/workflows/publish.yml, bin/publish-artifact)
One job per merge. It collects the PR artifacts for the merged tree,
builds anything that has none, then walks each channel/architecture
slot once: pull that database, repo-add every package that belongs in
it, upload packages, signatures, then the database. A published
filename is immutable; identical bytes under an existing name only
gain a database entry, different bytes are refused. Fast-ring packages
reach edge, rc and stable in the same run from the same file.
Matrix (bin/build-matrix)
Package x architecture, with the channels the artifact ships to,
decided by package_builds_for_mirror so CI and the host agree.
arch=any packages build once and land in every architecture database.
Builder (build/build.sh, bin/build, build/Dockerfile)
With no local published tree, plan against and resolve from the public
channel over HTTPS. PACKAGER is set to Omarchy. rclone is in the image.
Runners (ci/)
A controller droplet polls GitHub with curl and creates one g5 droplet
per queued job from cloud-init, deleting them when off or over-age.
Builders carry QEMU with credential support for aarch64. Operator SSH
keys come from GitHub. tests/controller.sh and tests/publish-artifact.sh
cover the decisions against fixtures and real makepkg output.
Tests run on pull requests only; branch protection requires result,
self-tests and build-isolation with up-to-date branches.
Arch Linux ARM's makepkg.conf defaults PKGEXT to .pkg.tar.xz. build/sign.sh
only signs *.pkg.tar.zst, and push-build, sync-rebuilds and the notifier
parse the same suffix, so an aarch64 package built under the stacked
pipeline came out as .xz and would have been skipped at signing. Seen on a
plain x86_64 runner building aarch64 under QEMU (fork run 33642125077).
Same fix as the PKGEXT line in #240.
One list, PUBLISHED_ARCHES in helpers/paths.sh (default x86_64,
overridable with OMARCHY_ARCHES), now drives everything the repository
host schedules. check-versions compares PKGBUILDs against each
architecture's channel databases and writes one queue per channel and
architecture; auto-release works through the queues one architecture at
a time, each with its own backoff, so a failing build on one never
blocks the other; advance-channel --arch all re-runs an advance for every
published architecture and omarchy-release uses it for start and ship,
building the pinned pair once per architecture in its rc trigger; the
train observes channels through the reference (first) architecture
instead of a hard-coded x86_64. Queue and backoff files written under
the old per-channel names are treated as x86_64 until consumed.
Two things made an aarch64 builder image impossible to create: the
keyring bootstrap fetched omarchy-keyring from the target architecture's
own channel tree, which does not exist before that architecture has
published anything, and the QEMU probe only knew the x86_64-host,
aarch64-target case. The keyring (arch=any) now always comes from the
x86_64 tree, and the probe compares host and target architectures and
runs a container for the target platform.
clean-repo grouped versions with a regex that only knew any, x86_64 and
i686, so aarch64 packages would never have been pruned.
Three opt-in knobs for bin/build, each defaulting to today's behaviour:
OMARCHY_KEEP_BUILD_WORKSPACE=1 keeps build-output/$MIRROR/$ARCH instead
of wiping it, and build/build.sh now folds any packages already there
into omarchy-build.db even when no database exists yet, so packages
built by an earlier job (or a previous, interrupted run) resolve as
dependencies of what builds next.
OMARCHY_SKIP_BUILDER_IMAGE=1 uses the omarchy-pkg-builder image already
present instead of building it, so a workflow can build the image once
with an external BuildKit cache and fan out over package jobs that all
run the same bytes. A missing image is an error, not a silent rebuild.
OMARCHY_DEFER_RUNTIME_DEPS=true builds the omarchy/omarchy-settings pair
with --nodeps, installing only their makedepends and checkdepends
explicitly. The pair depends on each other and on packages a sharded
pipeline builds in other jobs, so they cannot resolve in isolation; the
assembled set is installed in one verified transaction downstream. The
request is refused for anything but exactly that pair, on the host
before Docker starts and again inside the container.
Also fix make_dir_writable: chown -R can succeed on part of the tree
and fail on files a previous container left behind as another uid, and
the old `|| chmod` fallback only ran when chown failed outright. Always
follow with chmod.
The builder stage never declared ARG MIRROR, so the keyring [omarchy] repo
pointed at the channel-less legacy pkgs.omarchy.org/$arch path — it works
only because a stale copy of the old layout still answers there, and it would
miss a keyring rotation. Each image now pulls omarchy-keyring from its own
channel (edge/rc/stable), matching the base mirror it already selects.
update-repo and remove-package switch to the edge x86_64 image: repo-add and
repo-remove compile nothing, and using the channel image would deadlock
bootstrap-rc — the rc image can only build once the rc channel it pulls the
keyring from exists remotely.
- helpers/paths.sh: validate_mirror/require_valid_mirror for the edge|rc|stable
set, and REPO_ROOT (OMARCHY_REPO_ROOT override) so a secondary checkout like
the rc branch worktree publishes into the same channel tree as the primary
- validate --mirror everywhere it previously accepted any string (sync-repo,
promote-build, update-repo, clean-repo, remove-package) and widen the
edge|stable checks in build, deploy, push-build, auto-release
- build/Dockerfile: rc builds compile against rc-mirror.omarchy.org
The builder image is layer-cached, so its glibc drifts behind the
mirror while makepkg -s installs makedepends from the freshly synced
database. omarchy-settings-dev died on that partial upgrade: the new
imagemagick needs GLIBC_2.44 and magick refused to run in package().
pacman -Syu runs before the Omarchy repos are appended, so only
core/extra take part -- in-flight build-output packages can't be
pulled into the container.
