Hi,

I've noticed that the past two 130 stable releases have have tarball availability delayed much more than usual. Previously, a stable release would be announced via blog post on a Tuesday afternoon, and the (full, not -lite) tarball would become available sometime that same evening.

However, 130.0.6723.58's tarball wasn't available until Thursday some time, as I recall. It was perhaps 48 hours or so after announcement? I figured that was some kind of one-off build hiccup, but I'm noticing a similar thing now with 130.0.6723.69. The blog post for .69 was yesterday, and as of right now (Wed afternoon in EST timezone) I'm still getting 404s:


I'm just wondering if this is something we can continue to expect, or is it a transient issue?

Hi Andres,

All 3 channels are currently delayed.

With my Gentoo hat on I reached out to the release managers last night with these same concerns - hopefully we see some tarballs soon.

Regards,

Matt

(Apologies for the Outlook-style posting)

At least for M131 and M132, the problem's in the Rust-related steps of the "publish tarball" bot, which has been spamming this list for over a week. I filed https://issues.chromium.org/issues/374696520 a few days ago to try to have it fixed.

This build [1] from ~4 days ago published the 130.0.6723.63 tarball. Since then, there have been numerous attempts to publish the same tarball, and they all end up as no-ops. e.g. [2] [3] [4]

Meanwhile, [5] claims publish_tarball_dispatcher is asking for publish_tarball jobs for 130.0.6723.73 and a few other missing 130.x. releases, but for some reason the publish_tarball builder is not running those jobs.

Hi All,

With the 1 week delay last week, and the consistently failing CI,
I have elected to package up a tarball myself.

There is none of the Google Clang/Rust toolchain stuff (as most
distro don't use that anyway).

Please see: https://chromium-tarballs.syd1.digitaloceanspaces.com/

Instructions for those that wish to replicate:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Chromium/How_to_make_a_Chromium_tarball

I'll try and keep up-to-date with 130 and 131 releases. It appears that
CI is flowing again for 132 so hopefully next week's Dev channel
gets published.

Cheers,

Matt.

A CDN endpoint is also available here:
https://chromium-tarballs.syd1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/

It's a lot faster for me in NL.

The DO CDN double-counts transfers (yay...). Gentoo kindly
agreed to put this behind their CDN. This link should be
faster.

https://chromium-tarballs.distfiles.gentoo.org/

No guarantees as to longevity; I'm torn between keeping
this up as the tarballs are so much smaller for my users
and stopping updates the instant Rust/CI is sorted out.

Cheers,

Matt.

Hello again everyone.

Still seeing some significant delays so I took some time to completely
automate the process. It's all here if there's a need to replicate or
run a one-off tarball generation:

https://github.com/chromium-linux-tarballs/chromium-tarballs

This will publish tarballs to the same bucket (though they won't
be signed atm - let me know if that's a killer feature). This isn't
flowing in a completely automated manner yet, unfortunately.

There's one hiccup; for cheaper CI I switched from amd64 to
aarch64 for tarball generation and encountered an issue in the
DEPS file that prevents gclient from finishing the checkout:

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1468386

I've raised the following CL to address it, but I have no
idea who to ping for a code review. Any suggestions?

https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/6021695

As an update otherwise it looks like I'll need to do 131 and probably
132 so these will be available through to Jan at the earliest (longer
if the automation holds and it's cost effective).

Published these today: 131.0.6778.69, 132.0.6834.6

Cheers,

Matt
