1719426 - Stop relying on an older libc6 being available in the Ubuntu bionic apt repo

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Build System :: Task Configuration, task)

Description

[Mike Hommey [:glandium]]

As written in the commit for bug 1678451, this is a timebomb. I'm surprised it still works, but it's better to get ahead of it.

Attachment: Bug 1719426 - Move Debian packages to a separate yaml file.

At the same time, factor using: debian-package and fix the codename
substitution for the deb10-mercurial package.

Attachment: Bug 1719426 - Add support for Ubuntu packages to the taskgraph.

Comment 3

[Mike Hommey [:glandium]]

Attachment: Bug 1719426 - Build glibc_2.27-3ubuntu1.2 ourselves.

As written in 00c93ac66282, relying on the 2.27-3ubuntu1.2 package being
available is a timebomb. We can however get the older sources from
launchpad, and build them ourselves.

Attachment: Bug 1719426 - Create an Ubuntu bionic base docker image.

Similar to the corresponding Debian images (actually using its
Dockerfile), which sets up the worker user and directory, mercurial, our
base scripts, etc.

Attachment: Bug 1719426 - Derive the ubuntu1804-test-base image from the new Ubuntu base image.

It allows to remove a number of things that are setup through the base
image already, and to install the libc6 packages we built.
