upgrade / reinstall darwin64 VM

Open ThomasWaldmann opened this issue 3 years ago • 7 comments

likely there will be some macFUSE troubles when going to a relatively new macOS version.

see there for some notes / insights: https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/pull/6196

Should I look into the Vagrant testing and setting up a VM either with FUSE installed or SIP disabled?

thanks for the offer!

well, in the end I'll need it for platform testing on my workstation, options:

  • i do it myself
  • i get the VM image from you
  • we find a VM image on vagranthub that is good enough to be auto provisioned

btw, the current provisioning of what i have (macOS 10.12 VM running under virtualbox) still takes rather long btw.

otoh, i want to have latest stuff for everything that ends up being in the pyinstaller made fat-binary. otoh, i'ld like it to finish faster.

Would be best if Vagrant does the required setup. Will see if there is a suitable image somewhere.

Pyinstaller runs well in Github Actions. But since you also need BSD, it gets more complicated. ☹️

Working on this (again). Currently at Catalina, trying to upgrade the VM to Big Sur right now....

Guess I then either use the Big Sur VM or go to Monterey - assuming that one of these is the oldest what careful people still run.

I did some tries with upgrading this, but stopping it for now:

  • boot issues (guru meditation)
  • even with readily available vagrant VMs from vagrantup, there are scope issues integrating them into our Vagrantfile
