Package: rebuildd
Version: 0.3.4
Severity: important
When using "rebuildd-job", it will completely silently fail for many
different kinds of syntax or data errors. For example, if an
architecture is specified which is not enabled in the config file, it
will accept the input and exit without doing anything.
Connecting over the "telnet" interface is not much better; the error
message that is returned is completely generic. I had to manually
add debug messages to the python scripts to figure out where the error
was.
The "rebuildd" tool itself also has several silent failures, one of
which will cause a Job object to get stuck in the "BUILDING" state. In
the "Job->run()" function, for the code block that looks like this:
try:
proc = subprocess.Popen(cmd.split(), [.....])
except Exception, error:
state = 1
break
state = proc.poll()
If an exception occurs, such as "No such file or directory", the Job
will silently fail and get stuck in the "BUILDING" state. To fix this,
I inserted code so that it looked like this:
try:
proc = subprocess.Popen(cmd.split(), [.....])
except Exception, error:
build_log.write("Unable to execute command \"%s\": %s" %
(cmd, error))
with self.status_lock:
self.status = failed_status
state = 1
break
state = proc.poll()
