Bug #410: [librerelease] blocks [librestage]
https://labs.parabola.nu/issues/410

Author: lukeshu
Status: open
Priority: feature
Assignee: 
Category: 
Target version: 


My solution to Bug #379 was for librerelease to grab an exclusive lock on the 
staging directory, while having librestage require a shared lock.

mtjm:

> I don't understand how locking would help: wouldn't it delay the second

> 
> The old solution was to make a list of staged files in librerelease once and 
> then release them. It's safe to continue staging files until the next 
> librerelease run releases them.

lukeshu:

> That is the case: it will block librestage.

> Because sets of files can't be added to the staging directory atomically,

> Perhaps if librerelease first moved files to a temporary upload directory, 
> and only held the lock while it was moving the files?
> 
> Although, this could also be fixed in the programs you use to build packages. 
> Staging doesn't need to block building. treepkg/fullpkg could run the staging 
> commands in the background.  Also, they could be learn how to do parallel 
> builds by spawning new chroot copies.

> I'm closing this, and creating a "librerelease block librestage" bug.
