Bug description:
I've been working for some time on having livecd-rootfs be able to
build buildd chroots. This has a few immediate advantages: it makes
the process of building those chroots more transparent and
reproducible, reduces the pressure on the single person currently
responsible for managing chroots across all architectures, and allows
for a less frustrating chroot update process since I added a facility
to Launchpad last year for updating chroots from a livefs build which
will be a fast API operation rather than something requiring uploading
several hundred megabytes to Launchpad and frequently timing out. I
expect that in the future it can also allow us to have separate
chroots for e.g. -updates at relatively low cost, which will make
builds for stable series substantially faster as they won't need to
apply a large and growing set of upgrades at the start of nearly every
build.
We also have a more recent requirement to build LXD images in order
that we can converge with the images used by snapcraft, and so that we
can use them directly in Launchpad livefs and snap builds rather than
having to convert chroots on the fly. Fortunately it's quite easy to
convert buildd chroots into images usable by LXD, and for now I've
simply translated the approach currently used in launchpad-buildd to
do the conversion on the fly.
Particularly in order to assist with snapcraft convergence but also so
that we can improve build performance for the heavily-used LTS series,
I'd like to backport this support to xenial and bionic. Most of it
has been in disco for a while now, with some recent tweaks.
[Test Case] We'll want to run livefs builds in Launchpad with
appropriate configuration, similar to https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-
cdimage/+livefs/ubuntu/disco/buildd, and probably then test on dogfood
or similar before unleashing them on production.
[Regression Potential] The patch is substantially just adding another
subproject type so I'm not too concerned, but of course we should
check that a couple of other build types still work.
