CRIU package for Ubuntu 24.04

[yang]

I saw that criu was removed from the Ubuntu 24's apt repos - is there another easy package based way to install on Ubuntu, or is build chain the only way from here on? Thanks.

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/noble/amd64/criu/3.17.1-3

https://launchpad.net/~criu/+archive/ubuntu/ppa (no noble releases)

It's not removed from official Ubuntu repos, we just don't have PPA builds for Noble yet.

apt install criu should work just fine

Let me know if it does not work for you. I'll investigate this from Ubuntu side.

Upd: I have checked and can confirm problem. I'll try to figure out and come up with solution.

Thanks for reporting!

Related to #2398

[rst0git]

I will update the OBS/PPA packages with the workaround from #2398 (comment) for the time being and enable support for Ubuntu 24.04.

Huge thanks, Radostin!

I'll try to get CRIU into the official repos too. I was able to workaround compile-time failure, but there is another problem related to crit and python (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/criu/+bug/2066148).

[rst0git]

Please avoid running setup.py and easy_install.

@mihalicyn Should be fixed by #2282

In addition, we have also applied the following patch in rst0git/criu-deb-packages@80ddb47

@yang I can confirm that Ubuntu 24.04 support has been enabled for the packages in OBS and PPA:

• https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:tools:criu/criu
• https://launchpad.net/~criu/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

[mihalicyn]

As I can see from https://launchpad.net/~criu/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages we have no builds for Noble, but only for Jammy. I guess we need to change the last entry in debian/changelog file and specify noble in there.

I'm currently stuggling with this install-stage failure during binary package build:
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/730947573/buildlog_ubuntu-noble-amd64.criu_3.17.1-3ubuntu1_BUILDING.txt.gz

I have applied these patches:

rst0git/criu-deb-packages@80ddb47

but it looks like we need something in addition to make it work on Noble. Will continue investigation.

[rst0git]

@mihalicyn Thanks for pointing this out! I've updated the release to noble in launchpad.

but it looks like we need something in addition to make it work on Noble. Will continue investigation.

dh_usrlocal: error: debian/criu/usr/local/bin/crit is not a directory

There is a bug in the version of pip available on Ubuntu since 22.04. The pip install command does not take into account the value specified with --prefix when installing scripts (i.e., crit). This problem does not exist in earlier versions and it has fixed in newer versions of pip. As a workaround for this problem we use the following patch: rst0git/criu-deb-packages@e025b7e

[mihalicyn]

Thanks @rst0git!

I have prepared a new debdiff:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/criu/+bug/2066148/comments/5

hope it will be sponsored and uploaded. It is usually hard to get stable release packages updated.

So has this been fixed? Is there a workaround?
I ran across this issue last week.

[avagin]

@rst0git do we have our repo with the up-to-date version?

do we have our repo with the up-to-date version?

yes.

@Brandl you can install the latest version of CRIU on Ubuntu 24.04 from Launchpad or OpenBuildService.
