Release v4.0.0 packages on Kubic PPA for Ubuntu?

[Korijn]

The v4.0.0 release landed, but it is not available yet via the Kubic project PPA for Ubuntu. Is there a trigger that was missed somewhere, or something needs to be done to move this forward?

@lsm5 PTAL

@Korijn Hello, we won't be doing further podman updates on Kubic. 22.04 LTS will release in less than a couple of months and we recommend ubuntu users switch to the default ubuntu repos.

I do have plans to build both ubuntu and fedora packages using the same packaging sources, but no guarantees on ETA.

Closing ...

[Korijn]

Can you at least indicate what the new preferred method of installation will be for up-to-date podman releases on Ubuntu?

(I don't expect the default ubuntu repos to provide up-to-date releases, but maybe that's wrong.)

[benridley]

@Korijn I've created a repo/CI pipeline for building the latest versions of podman, conmon, runc and cni-plugins as .deb packages. You can find them here: https://gitlab.com/benridley/podman-deb/-/packages.

Just note they are mostly for my own use, so no guarantees about the quality of the packages etc. If you have any issues with them let me know, I've tested then with Debian bullseye successfully.

It looks like Ubuntu 22.04 LTS will ship with Podman 3.4, just like Ubuntu 21.04 provided Podman 3.0.

It might be intentional, same thing for binaries:

• v4.0.0 missing static binaries in Release page #13298

[Korijn]

I'll see how much effort it is to maintain a PPA of my own and post back here later.

Hi all, I've setup a repository that contains deb packages at https://repo.bridsy.xyz. The distribution is 'bullseye' because I built and tested it on Debian 11, but I expect it would work on Ubuntu and if people are interested I'll publish specific packages for it.

Doesn't seem to work on the latest 22.04 LTS

@heyakyra looks like a conflict with golang-github-containers-common. Might need to remove that package and retry installation.

@benridley is your repo at a point where we could list this in the official podman installation docs? Also, are you looking for people to help you out with packaging, any other support for this repo?

I have created a fork and have the Linux AMD64 binaries (releases and nightly builds) built here automatically:

• Nightly Builds
• Latest Version: 4.1.0
• Version: 4.0.3
• Version: 3.4.7

[arogozhnikov]

@liebig thank you for making builds.
I believe those will work for ubuntu22, but not ubuntu 20.04. At least that's what I get:

~/podman-v4.1.0/usr/bin$ ./podman
./podman: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.33' not found (required by ./podman)
./podman: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.32' not found (required by ./podman)
./podman: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by ./podman)

Ubuntu 20.04 indeed stops at glibc 2.31

@liebig Thanks for your efforts!

Any possibility to add ARM architectures to your builds?

@rishubn
Good idea, I must take a look if this is easy to implement. Currently, I unfortunately do not have much time, but I have created an issue for tracking. Thanks for your feedback.
