Cannot update CURRENT snapshot jail (-m ftp) with -u

[koobs]

I create CURRENT and STABLE jails via -c -m ftp, which creates jails via snapshots (either official, or otherwise: allbsd, etc)

Jail configuration for these are:

poudriere jail -i -j 11amd64
Jail name:         11amd64
Jail version:      11.0-CURRENT
Jail arch:         amd64
Jail method:       ftp
Jail mount:        /storage/poudriere/jails/11amd64
Jail fs:           storage/poudriere/jails/11amd64
Jail updated:      2015-08-04 20:38:22
Tree name:         default
Tree method:       portsnap

When attempting to upgrade these jails via -u [-m ftp], the following output is observed:

poudriere jail -u -j 11amd64 -m ftp

I'm not sure whether this is a bug, a regression, or unsupported. Suffice it to say, poudriere should be able to update jails based on snapshots from ftp's using the -u flag, without "-m ftp" arguments if the jail has already been created/set to use that method.

The following cases should work:

• Update jail using same method it was created with (eg: official -> newer official snapshot)
• Update jail using same method but different url (eg: official -> newer allbsd snapshot)
• Update jail (that wasn't created using snapshots), using a new/different method and/or url

Same issue here. Running poudirere-3.2.6 on FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p9.

… CURRENT … a bug, a regression, or unsupported. …

Something at the back of my mind tells me, unsupported As far as I know, it's not yet supported.

From design · freebsd/poudriere Wiki:

Via ftp

The update of the jail is done by calling freebsd-update …

– and base is not yet packaged.

svn method works, e.g.

root@momh167-gjp4-hpelitebook8570p-freebsd:~ # poudriere jail -l
JAILNAME VERSION                      ARCH  METHOD TIMESTAMP           PATH
current  12.0-CURRENT 1200062 r333256 amd64 svn    2018-05-05 00:35:35 /usr/local/poudriere/jails/current
root@momh167-gjp4-hpelitebook8570p-freebsd:~ # poudriere jail -u -j current

– but seems to take a long time (like, more than five hours here). I guess the length is to be expected when building.

Just creating a new 12.0-current is quite quick:

poudriere jail -c -j 120-amd64-2 -v 12.0-ALPHA9 -m http

… jails via snapshots (either official, …

https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/snapshots/amd64/13.0-CURRENT/ for example, the most recent snapshot is 2019-Jan-03.

I could occasionally revisit the address to tell whether there's something more recent, but is there a more methodical approach to knowing when new snapshots become available?

OT from this issue … if your host -CURRENT system is head – and if you take time to update the host from /usr/src/ – then (a hint from https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/does-poudriere-update-its-jails.39625/#post-404486) creation might take around five minutes:

An update (from the same local source) e.g.

poudriere jail -u -j head

– can be remarkably quick. Two minutes in my case.
