I improved CI reliability by fixing Git-related issues in RPM builds and enhanced Debian packaging flexibility for various Rust toolchain setups.
- In
.github/workflows/packages.yml, I addeddnf install -y gitandgit config --global --add safe.directoryfor Git operations in the Fedora container, removing redundancies. - I updated
PACKAGING.mdanddebian/controlto support Debian package builds usingdpkg-buildpackage -dwhencargo/rustcare notdpkginstalled.

I standardized the versioning scheme for RPM packages to ensure compatibility with package managers, specifically by converting pre-release hyphens to tildes. I also streamlined Debian packaging by removing an unnecessary compat file.
- I modified
.github/workflows/packages.ymlto convert hyphens in theCargo.tomlversion to tildes (-to~) when setting theRPM_VERSION. This is crucial for RPM compatibility, as hyphens are not allowed in theVersionfield for pre-releases. - I updated
rpm/sqlpage.specto reflect the newVersion(0.38.0~beta.1) andRelease(1%{?dist}) fields, aligning with the tilde-based pre-release scheme. - I removed the
debian/compatfile and updatedscripts/validate-packaging.shto no longer expect its presence, simplifying the Debian packaging structure. - I adjusted
PACKAGING_CHANGELOG.mdto document the updated RPM version scheme, clarifying the use of tildes for pre-releases.

Relative pathing '.' and '..' is not allowed.
I've verified the fixes using ripgrep and by running a terminal command to inspect the changes. It looks like both the Debian artifact path issue and the RPM tarball naming issue have been successfully addressed in the previous changes.
Here's a summary of the fixes:
- Debian (
../*.deberror): The workflow now first collects artifacts into abuild-output/directory and then uploads them frombuild-output/*.deb, resolving the relative pathing error. - RPM (tarball mismatch): The tarball is now created as
v${RPM_VERSION}.tar.gzwith a tilde version format, which correctly matches the spec file.
Both of these fixes have been applied and committed. The next CI run should now succeed!

I refined the build and installation processes for SQLPage packages, enhancing compatibility across different Linux environments and ensuring more robust Debian package generation.
- I modified the Debian package build workflow in
.github/workflows/packages.ymlto useubuntu-20.04instead ofubuntu-22.04. This change ensures widerglibccompatibility for the generated.debpackages. - I improved the
debian/postinstscript by adding a fallback mechanism for user creation. I implemented a check foradduserand, if not found, it now usesuseradd, making the installation more robust in minimal container environments. - I adjusted the RPM build specification in
rpm/sqlpage.specby removing the redundant--releaseflag from thecargo buildcommand, as thesuperoptimizedprofile already implies a release build.

RPM build errors:
I modified the sqlpage.spec file to prevent the RPM build process from incorrectly interpreting Rust attribute syntax as shebangs. This ensures the build proceeds without errors related to shebang mangling.
- I added
%undefine __brp_mangle_shebangstorpm/sqlpage.spec. This explicitly disables the automatic shebang mangling performed by the RPM build system. - This change prevents the build process from misinterpreting Rust's
#!attribute syntax as executable shebangs, ensuring correct compilation and packaging of theSQLPageapplication.

I enhanced the sqlpage RPM package specification to ensure proper log file management. I added a dedicated directory for application logs, improving adherence to standard Linux file system hierarchy.
- I modified the
rpm/sqlpage.specfile to include the creation of a new directory,/var/log/sqlpage. This was achieved by adding the lineinstall -d %{buildroot}/var/log/sqlpage. - This change ensures that the
sqlpageapplication has a standard and dedicated location for its log files upon installation, aligning with the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS).

I updated the CI/CD workflow to generalize RPM package installation and improve debugging capabilities. These changes ensure that the package installation commands are more robust and provide better visibility into the build environment during the installation phase.
- I modified the
Install packagesteps within the.github/workflows/packages.ymlfile for both the Fedora/CentOS and Amazon Linux jobs. - I changed the RPM installation command from
dnf install -y ./sqlpage*.rpmtodnf install -y ./*.rpmand similarly foryum, allowing it to install any.rpmfile present in the current directory. - I added an
ls -lacommand immediately before eachdnf installandyum installcommand to list the contents of the working directory, which helps verify the presence and name of the generated RPM package during workflow execution.

You put the rpm in a folder named x86_64, so dnf install -y ./*.rpm does not find anything
I refined the GitHub Actions workflow for package installation, ensuring RPM packages are correctly located and installed from their architecture-specific subdirectory. This prevents installation failures by explicitly targeting the x86_64 directory.
- I modified the
Install packagesteps within the.github/workflows/packages.ymlfile for bothdnfandyumbased systems. - I updated the
dnf installcommand fromdnf install -y ./*.rpmtodnf install -y ./x86_64/*.rpm. - Similarly, I changed the
yum installcommand fromyum install -y ./*.rpmtoyum install -y ./x86_64/*.rpm. - I also added a
find . -name "*.rpm" -type fcommand before each installation step to aid in debugging and verifying the presence of RPM files in the expected location.

@cursoragent fedora 40: line 2: which: command not found rockylinux: line 2: find: command not found
I refined the RPM package installation and verification steps within the CI/CD workflow. I updated the package discovery mechanism to directly inspect the expected x86_64/ directory and improved the command existence check for sqlpage using a more robust utility.
- I modified the
Install packagesteps in.github/workflows/packages.ymlfor bothdnf(Fedora/RHEL) andyum(CentOS/older RHEL) jobs.- I replaced
find . -name "*.rpm" -type fwithls -la x86_64/ || true. This change directly lists the contents of thex86_64/directory, where the RPM packages are expected, providing a more focused check. The|| trueensures the step doesn't fail if the directory is temporarily empty or missing, allowing the subsequentdnf/yum installcommand to handle the actual package presence.

- I updated the
Verify installationsteps in.github/workflows/packages.ymlfor bothdnfandyumjobs.- I replaced

I refactored the RPM package build process within .github/workflows/packages.yml to enhance glibc compatibility and streamline Rust toolchain management. This involved migrating the build environment to a manylinux container and integrating dedicated GitHub Actions for Rust setup and caching.
- I updated the
build-rpmjob's container in.github/workflows/packages.ymlfromrockylinux:8toquay.io/pypa/manylinux_2_28_x86_64for maximum glibc 2.28 compatibility. - I migrated package installation commands from
dnftoyumand addedyum update -yto suit the newmanylinuxenvironment. - I introduced the
dtolnay/rust-toolchain@stableaction to manage Rust toolchain installation and addedSwatinem/rust-cachefor efficient Cargo dependency caching. - I adjusted the
yum installdependencies, removingrpmlintandsystemd-rpm-macroswhile addingsystemd.

@cursoragent error: Failed build dependencies: cargo >= 1.70 is needed by sqlpage-0.38.0~beta.1-1.el8.x86_64 rust >= 1.70 is needed by sqlpage-0.38.0~beta.1-1.el8.x86_64
I refined the RPM package build process to better manage Rust dependencies. Specifically, I updated the GitHub Actions workflow to use --nodeps for rpmbuild in CI, leveraging the pre-configured Rust toolchain. Concurrently, I added explicit BuildRequires for rust and cargo in the sqlpage.spec file to ensure correct local build dependency resolution.
- I modified the
Build RPM packagestep within.github/workflows/packages.yml. I added the--nodepsflag to therpmbuild -ba ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/sqlpage.speccommand. This change allows the CI workflow to bypass build dependency checks, as the Rust toolchain is explicitly provided by the CI environment. - I updated the
rpm/sqlpage.specfile to includeBuildRequires: rust >= 1.70andBuildRequires: cargo >= 1.70. This ensures that local RPM builds correctly identify and require the necessary Rust toolchain components. I also added a comment clarifying that these requirements are primarily for local builds, as CI utilizes the--nodepsflag.
