🔄 Build Failed: Git Checkout Error

Root Cause Analysis 🔍

The git checkout step failed because the actual commit hash (8e43cce4d8c9388b1305ebed20ffa07af35cb2b7) for tag v25.3.0-0 does not match the expected commit hash (03f70bb4a8fc86bc5b8f37493fc693f724e87955) specified in the build configuration. This indicates either the repository has been updated since the build configuration was created, or there's a mismatch in the expected commit hash in the build configuration.

Analysis

Looking at the similar fixed build failures, there's a consistent pattern when dealing with git commit hash mismatches in the git-checkout step. In all three examples, the fix involved updating the expected-commit value in the YAML file to match the actual commit hash that the tag points to in the repository.

The error message "Expected commit 03f70bb4a8fc86bc5b8f37493fc693f724e87955 for v25.3.0-0, found 8e43cce4d8c9388b1305ebed20ffa07af35cb2b7" clearly indicates that the git tag v25.3.0-0 is pointing to a different commit (8e43cce4d8c9388b1305ebed20ffa07af35cb2b7) than what was expected in the build configuration (03f70bb4a8fc86bc5b8f37493fc693f724e87955).

In all the example fixes, the maintainers updated the expected-commit hash in the git-checkout step to match the actual commit hash that the tag points to in the repository. This is the simplest and most direct way to fix this type of issue.

Explanation

The build is failing because the git tag v25.3.0-0 is pointing to commit hash 8e43cce4d8c9388b1305ebed20ffa07af35cb2b7, but the build configuration in the Melange YAML file is expecting it to point to commit hash 03f70bb4a8fc86bc5b8f37493fc693f724e87955.

This mismatch can occur for several reasons:

1. The upstream repository might have force-pushed the tag to point to a different commit
2. The tag might be a lightweight tag that points to a specific commit, but the build system expected an annotated tag
3. The tag might have been recreated or moved since the package definition was first created

The suggested fix updates the expected-commit field in the git-checkout step to match the actual commit hash that the tag points to now. This tells the build system to expect the current state of the repository rather than an outdated state.

This is a safe change because:

1. It maintains the versioning specified in the package definition
2. It resolves the checkout error without changing the package functionality
3. It follows the same pattern used in similar fixes
4. It aligns with Wolfi's guideline of keeping packages up to date with upstream releases

The error message provides the exact commit hash we should use (8e43cce4d8c9388b1305ebed20ffa07af35cb2b7), making this a straightforward fix.

Alternative Approaches

• Another approach would be to check out the repository by specific commit hash instead of tag, by removing the 'tag' parameter and only using the 'expected-commit'. However, this is less maintainable as it doesn't follow the semantic versioning that tags provide and makes automated updates more difficult.
• A third approach would be to update both the package version and the expected commit hash if the tag has been moved to a newer version of the software. However, there's no indication in the error message that this is the case - it appears to be just a mismatch in the expected commit hash for the same tag.
• If the upstream project frequently moves tags or has inconsistent tagging practices, we could consider implementing a more robust checkout strategy in the future that verifies the content matches expected checksums, rather than relying solely on git commit hashes.
