RE: Use specific FreeBSD patch version with poudriere

Hi,

I've experienced the same. Did a rollback to -p7 (but the jail is on -p8). After that everything builds okay again.

I also suspect the latest ZFS patches.

Hopefully 13.1 doesn't suffer from this issue. I can hold out until that has been released.

Regards,
Ralf van der Enden

Today I experienced the same problem after upgrading to 13.0-RELEASE-p8 from -p7.

My poudriere jail was still on -p5, though.

Looking at https://pkg.cainites.net/data/amd64-13-0-default/2022-03-16_22h53m32s/logs/errors/libevdev-1.9.1.20200928.log
I see:

"ValueError: source code string cannot contain null bytes"

I also encountered null bytes in recently written files on my -p8 system.
The .h files were installed on the host from packages created by the poudriere jail.

These recently-installed packages were flagged as having bad checksums in the daily security output cron job this morning:

Checking for packages with mismatched checksums:
glib-2.70.4_1,2: /usr/local/include/glib-2.0/gio/gactiongroupexporter.h
glib-2.70.4_1,2: /usr/local/include/glib-2.0/gio/gactionmap.h
glib-2.70.4_1,2: /usr/local/include/glib-2.0/gio/gbytesicon.h
vulkan-headers-1.3.208: /usr/local/share/vulkan/registry/vk.xml

When reading the above files manually they consisted entirely of null bytes.

I doubt this is related to poudriere. Rather I suspect this is a serious bug in the recent ZFS patches that were released with -p8.

Not wanting to risk further data loss I've since rolled back to -p7 with "freebsd-update rollback".

So far I've not had any data corruption problems after the rollback.

Regards
Andrew
