Review follow-up for the Ubuntu sbuild matrix:
- Add a fail-fast exclusive flock over the whole run (<output-root>/.sbuild-all.lock,
file-scoped handle) so two overlapping runs can't corrupt the shared staging/apt
tree -- this is the root of the observed 'remove_tree .../staging/<cn>/<arch>:
Directory not empty' (an NFS silly-rename from a concurrent run).
- wipe_tree(): remove_tree that captures {error} and dies loud, so an ENOTEMPTY no
longer carps-and-continues leaving stale debs; used for all staging/pool/dists wipes.
- Wire the tested, hash-based cross_copy_genesis_deb into build_genesis (was a naive
glob+copy, so the unit-tested stale-dropping copier was dead code); remove the
genuinely-unused deb_snap_version/rewrite_changelog_top helpers + their subtests
(compiled deps intentionally ship their tracked changelog version).
- Dedupe assemble_apt on binary Package+Architecture (keep highest via
dpkg --compare-versions) so a double-produced genesis can't land two versions in
the pool, independent of the --skip-genesis contract.
- Derive Release Architectures from the arches actually staged (non-empty
binary-<arch>/Packages), not a hard-coded 'amd64 ppc64el'.
- goconserver: guard 'go mod init' when a go.mod exists (+ TODO to commit go.sum for
the pinned SHA). Accept-and-ignore the unused per-package --log-dir/--build-number/
--skip-install flags (documented). Remove orphaned make_deb.sh dispatchers
(build-debs-all, build.sh, ipmitool/build.sh) + update the READMEs.
perl -c clean; prove t/sbuild-all.t: 71/71.

The per-package <dep>/sbuild.pl were generic wrappers that shelled out to each
package's make_deb.sh, so a package's build brain was split across two files and
package-specific fixes (e.g. goconserver's Go toolchain) landed in make_deb.sh
instead of the builder -- inconsistent with the EL side, where <dep>/mockbuild.pl
IS the per-package builder.
Make each <dep>/sbuild.pl own its build (mirroring <dep>/mockbuild.pl), absorbing
its make_deb.sh (source prep, patches, toolchain, dpkg-buildpackage), and remove
all seven make_deb.sh. The common chroot orchestration -- ephemeral schroot session,
apt update, build-dep install, out-of-tree copy, SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH, deb collection +
host-side verification -- moves into BuildUtils::build_deb_in_chroot; each builder
supplies only its package-specific recipe (passed base64-encoded to avoid quoting
interplay through schroot).
Also make the older Ubuntu codenames buildable:
- goconserver: install a pinned modern Go (1.25.12) in the build -- focal/jammy ship
a Go too old to even auto-switch toolchains, and goconserver's pinned deps need
Go >= 1.25 (it is a static CGO-free binary, so the pinned toolchain is portable and
reproducible across codenames).
- ipmitool + goconserver: lower debian/compat 13 -> 12 and Build-Depends debhelper
(>= 12), since Ubuntu 20.04 (focal) ships debhelper 12; compat 12 also builds cleanly
on newer codenames.
Validated: all recipe shapes build green through the new path -- tarball
(ipmitool@focal), git-clone+pinned-Go (goconserver@focal), tarball+patches
(syslinux@noble), in-place (grub2-xcat), in-place+custom-rules (xnba); 80/80 unit
tests still pass.

Each <dep>/sbuild.pl copies the built .deb(s) to --result-dir from INSIDE the
schroot session. That only reaches the host when --result-dir is on a path
bind-mounted into the chroot (the shared /opt/xcat-ci-shared tree, as the CI
uses). A mis-configured result-dir (e.g. a chroot-local /tmp) would let the
build "succeed" yet leave nothing on the host -- a silent no-output. Verify
host-side after the session that the .deb(s) are actually present and fail
loud with a pointed message otherwise (consistent with the fail-hard design).

The Ubuntu/Debian dependency build shipped as three bash scripts
(build-dep-debs.sh, build-apt-repo.sh, mk-dep-chroots.sh) whose review
(PR #63) surfaced correctness problems: partial/stale output could be
published, the rpm->deb genesis conversion dropped the maintained package
semantics (Depends/Breaks/Replaces + maintainer scripts), the arch matrix
was invalid (x86-only syslinux/elilo/xnba treated as ppc64el packages, and
Architecture:all packages with no single producer), several required
failures exited zero, and the build/repo scripts disagreed on their staging
path and codename set (focal missing from the assembler).
Rewrite it as proper, unit-tested Perl mirroring the EL side
(mockbuild-all.pl / MockBuildUtils.pm / <dep>/mockbuild.pl / t/*.t /
packages-manifest.conf), sharing one CLI vocabulary:
- BuildUtils.pm: shared, testable helpers + the canonical CLI spec, plus the
Debian-specific helpers (out-of-tree changelog stamping, genesis control
preservation, deb inspection, cross-arch genesis provisioning).
- sbuild-all.pl: the orchestrator, absorbing all three shell scripts. Builds
+ validates into a fresh per-arch staging tree and only (re)assembles the
published apt repo from validated staging -- so partial/failed output never
ships and stale debs never accumulate. Auto-initializes the per-codename
sbuild chroots on first run. Fails the whole run non-zero on any missing
chroot/package/artifact or version-pin mismatch.
- <dep>/sbuild.pl x7: per-package builders that drive each package's
MAINTAINED debian/ in the matching chroot (never re-implemented), so the
converted/built packages keep their control metadata and maintainer scripts.
- debs-manifest.conf: per-[<codename>-<arch>] required set + version pins,
encoding the per-arch package sets (x86 boot components built once on amd64
as the single producer; ppc64el builds only the arch-specific compiled deps).
- t/sbuild-all.t: fixture tests for every pure helper.
- goconserver/make_deb.sh: pin the upstream SHA instead of cloning a moving
branch, so every matrix cell builds the same source (reproducible).
Codename set unified across build, assembly, chroots and docs (focal IS
supported). BUILD.md documents the new flow.

Commit the upstream source tarballs the mock builders consume so a build never
has to fetch them from the network -- offline/reproducible builds, and
resilience to upstream URL rot for these older releases:
- ipmitool/ipmitool-1.8.18.tar.gz (re-normalized to the release tarball)
- syslinux/syslinux-6.03.tar.xz
- perl-Crypt-SSLeay/Crypt-SSLeay-0.72.tar.gz
The per-package builders use the local tarball when present and only fall back
to the upstream URL if it is missing (ipmitool/syslinux mockbuild.pl; and
mockbuild-perl-packages.pl 'spec' mode for perl-Crypt-SSLeay).
Also folded in:
- mockbuild-all.pl: switch createrepo -> createrepo_c (--database,
--set-timestamp-to-revision) for deterministic, upstream-matching repo
metadata.
- perl-HTTP-Async / perl-Net-HTTPS-NB specs: reword the brp-compress comment.

The syslinux-xcat subpackage is BuildArch: noarch but deliberately bundles the
arch-dependent PXELINUX/SYSLINUX bootloader blobs under
/opt/xcat/share/xcat/netboot/syslinux. EL10 rpm does not flag these real-mode
binaries, but EL8/EL9 rpm aborts the build with "Arch dependent binaries in
noarch package", so syslinux-xcat 6.03 could not be rebuilt for rh8/rh9 and the
2.17 -> 2.18 upgrade had no syslinux-xcat >= 6.03-1 to satisfy xCAT 2.18.
Set %_binaries_in_noarch_packages_terminate_build 0 so the self-contained xcat
netboot payload builds across EL8/EL9/EL10.
Port SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH patterns from xcat-core to all xcat-dep build
scripts. RPM and Debian packages now produce identical output given
the same Gitepoch timestamp, regardless of build host or time.
EL (RPM) changes:
- mockbuild-all.pl: --build-timestamp flag, deterministic run_id,
tar --sort/--owner/--group/--mtime, createrepo --revision
- All mockbuild.pl: SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH cascade (CLI > Gitepoch > git > time),
deterministic mock config with SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH in chroot env,
RPM macros for timestamp clamping and fixed buildhost
- goconserver: -trimpath -buildvcs=false, canonical rpmbuild path
- xnba: canonical rpmbuild path
- syslinux: ZERO_AR_DATE=1 in mock env
Ubuntu (Debian) changes:
- All make_deb.sh: SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH fallback from Gitepoch
- goconserver: deterministic SNAP_TS and changelog from epoch,
-trimpath -buildvcs=false in debian/rules
- syslinux: -fdebug-prefix-map for path-independent debug info
- build-apt-repo.sh: gzip -n, Release Date: from SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
Verified: 31/33 package artifacts produce identical SHA256 hashes
across independent builds. 2 syslinux sub-packages (devel,
debugsource) have known limitations from upstream build system.
