🔄 Build Failed: Git Checkout Error

FAIL Expected commit 3e4363c94317e5974eeb423e9e7b3cb2491ac973 for v1.4.322, found 235d1d2cf617af03a2ecbf6e951287595138feda

Failure Point	git checkout step for Vulkan-Loader

Root Cause Analysis 🔍

The git checkout step failed because the expected commit hash for tag v1.4.322 does not match the actual commit hash retrieved from the repository. The package definition specifies commit 3e4363c94317e5974eeb423e9e7b3cb2491ac973 but the actual tag resolves to commit 235d1d2cf617af03a2ecbf6e951287595138feda.

Analysis

In analyzing the similar fixed build failures, I observe a consistent pattern where the expected commit hash in the git-checkout step doesn't match the actual commit hash that the tag resolves to in the repository. In both fixed examples, the solution was to update the expected-commit parameter to match the actual commit hash that the tag points to.

This mismatch can occur because:

1. Git tags can point to different types of objects (commit objects, tag objects)
2. Tags can be updated or changed in the upstream repository
3. Annotated tags have their own hash distinct from the commit they point to

The current error for Vulkan-Loader shows the same pattern - the expected commit (3e4363c94317e5974eeb423e9e7b3cb2491ac973) doesn't match the actual commit (235d1d2cf617af03a2ecbf6e951287595138feda) for tag v1.4.322.

Explanation

The build failure is occurring because the Melange YAML file for vulkan-loader specifies an expected commit hash (3e4363c94317e5974eeb423e9e7b3cb2491ac973) that doesn't match the actual commit hash (235d1d2cf617af03a2ecbf6e951287595138feda) that the v1.4.322 tag points to in the repository.

This mismatch can happen for several reasons:

1. The tag might have been moved in the upstream repository to point to a different commit after the Melange YAML was created
2. The tag in the repository might be an annotated tag (which has its own hash) rather than a lightweight tag
3. The tag might have been force-updated by the upstream maintainers

The fix is straightforward - we need to update the expected-commit value in the git-checkout step to match the actual commit hash that the v1.4.322 tag resolves to. This ensures that the build system will successfully check out the correct version of the code.

This approach is consistent with how similar issues were resolved in the example fixes. In both cases, the solution was to update the expected-commit parameter to match the actual commit hash. Since Wolfi OS aims to keep packages up to date with upstream releases, accepting the new commit hash is appropriate as long as it corresponds to the correct version tag.

Alternative Approaches

• Instead of updating the expected-commit, we could pin to a specific release version by using the commit hash directly instead of the tag. This would make the build more deterministic but would require manually updating the commit hash with each version bump.
• We could modify the git-checkout step to automatically resolve annotated tags to their commit objects, eliminating the need for the expected-commit parameter. However, this would reduce the deterministic nature of the builds and potentially introduce security risks.
• We could implement a verification step that compares the tag's contents rather than just the commit hash, allowing for a more flexible match while still ensuring the correct version is being built.
