New ruby 1.8.7 and rubygem-chef 0.10.2 rpms and dependencies

All of the el5 i386 and x86_64 ruby, chef, and chef dependency packages have
been rebuilt, along with dependencies for 0.10.4/5. These are currently in
the testing.aegisco.com repo, and will be moved to the stable one after
vetting.

The rubygem-chef 0.10.5 package itself is held up on what I think is an
incompatibility between rubygem’s pessimistic version constraint [1] and
rpm’s lack of support for this feature. If someone can confirm this and
write a translation layer for fpm, that would be wonderful. In the interim,
I’ll build these rpms by hand with modifications to the fpm-generated spec
files.

I have tested the i386 install for the segfaulting issues we were seeing
previously, and they seem to be resolved. Further confirmation on this would
be helpful as well.

What is the difference between spec files for your ruby rpm and RBEL?
How long did you test this rpms for segfaults?

Titov,

We use different build methods, but largely the same spec files, for all of
the dependencies. Some of the versions of dependencies are different. The
spec files for the rubygems are going to be different as well. Sergio uses
gem2rpm whereas I use fpm.

These have so far only been tested on my own test systems, I would really
appreciate other people testing them because I'll move them to the stable
repo and start building out the rest of the Server dependencies, as well as
builds for el6 and potentially FC.

There's a bug on RHEL5 with prelinking. I think it was x86_64 only but
I'm not positive at this point.

I had an RPM of 1.9.2 I build monolithically and packaged with fpm. It
install in the system path (we explicitly didn't install RHEL ruby at
all)

Every morning at 4AM all our ruby-based cronjobs and chef itself would
stop working. Prelink was the only cronjob of importance that ran at
that time so a bit of googling lead to this (iirc)

http://www.tsheffler.com/blog/?p=491

I opted to just remove prelink from the system since this isn't the
first time I've seen it cause issues. In your case, you'd probably add
the exclusion as part of the RPM.

It's easy enough to test, uninstall/disable the prelink cron job and
see if it still happens.

Thanks very much for this, I don't know if I would have found it...

I have to say that I'm confounded; we need more information. I'm not able to
reproduce these problems on the public CentOS AMI's I have used for testing,
and I don't have CentOS systems in production. I believe the most important
information we need is:

ruby version [ie, 1.8.7-352]
ruby install type [ie, package, source]
ruby source [ie, ruby,org, aegisco, rbel]
CentOS version [ie, 5.5, 5.6]
CentOS source [ie, AMI, iso, veewee]
Is prelink enabled? [1]
What resource bombed?
Does the error never occur on the first run, but does occur after the
first, intermittently?

It would also be ideal to get traces for these segfaults.

I opted to just remove prelink from the system since this isn't the

the exclusion as part of the RPM.

It's easy enough to test, uninstall/disable the prelink cron job and
see if it still happens.

That last question was phrased awkwardly, let's expand to three:

ruby version [ie, 1.8.7-352]
ruby install type [ie, package, source]
ruby source [ie, ruby,org, aegisco, rbel]
CentOS version [ie, 5.5, 5.6]
CentOS source [ie, AMI, iso, veewee]
Is prelink enabled? [1]
What resource bombed?
Does the error ever occur on the first run?
When does the first error tend to occur?
After the error occurs, do future runs work?

Hi, James,

Thank you for this great idea.

I experimented with different builds for chef 0.10:

What resource bombed? Our own resource for zabbix managing
Does the error ever occur on the first run? No
When does the first error tend to occur? It isn't predictable, chef
can work two hours or two days
After the error occurs, do future runs work? Yes, with segfault after some time

I suppose this information can help somebody to explain problems.
Seems that it's a number of causes of crash to different builds.

Titov,

Thanks a lot for all of the data, it gives me at least a few leads. Can you
read the link John posted (Beware prelink and compiling ruby from source - Ruby - Ruby-Forum) and test
this please? Also, is the iso you're using from CentOS or third party?

Hi, James,

I experimented with different builds for chef 0.10:

There's a bug on RHEL5 with prelinking. I think it was x86_64 only but
I'm not positive at this point.

I had an RPM of 1.9.2 I build monolithically and packaged with fpm. It
install in the system path (we explicitly didn't install RHEL ruby at
all)

Every morning at 4AM all our ruby-based cronjobs and chef itself would
stop working. Prelink was the only cronjob of importance that ran at
that time so a bit of googling lead to this (iirc)

http://www.tsheffler.com/blog/?p=491

I opted to just remove prelink from the system since this isn't the
first time I've seen it cause issues. In your case, you'd probably add
the exclusion as part of the RPM.

It's easy enough to test, uninstall/disable the prelink cron job and
see if it still happens.

FYI

I've been running the yum-stress-cookbook every 30 mins during the
last 24 hours with the latest ruby packages (1.8.7-p352-3) from RBEL5
(CentOS 5.6 i386) and prelink enabled.

libruby has been prelinked at 4am and chef-client is still kicking so
far. No segfaults at all.

It's probably one of the build flags causing the issue. Still need to
find which flag is the evil though. I' believe it's one of the flags
in %optflags available when building inside mock.

I'll keep digging.

What did you modify for this most recent build? Can you confirm that you
would get segfaults using an older version of ruby, but not with the newer

Every morning at 4AM all our ruby-based cronjobs and chef itself

I opted to just remove prelink from the system since this isn't the
first time I've seen it cause issues. In your case, you'd probably
add
the exclusion as part of the RPM.

It's easy enough to test, uninstall/disable the prelink cron job and
see if it still happens.

Titov,

Which version of ruby did you try? I built a new version over the weekend
which I'm more hopeful about, it's essentially a backport of the one in
rhel6-updates, and a few of the patches are different.

I posted on the list over the weekend the instructions to test.

I really appreciate your help, as I'm still not able to reproduce,

I had an RPM of 1.9.2 I build monolithically and packaged with fpm.
It
install in the system path (we explicitly didn't install RHEL ruby

Every morning at 4AM all our ruby-based cronjobs and chef itself

that time so a bit of googling lead to this (iirc)

I opted to just remove prelink from the system since this isn't the
first time I've seen it cause issues. In your case, you'd probably
add
the exclusion as part of the RPM.

It's easy enough to test, uninstall/disable the prelink cron job and
see if it still happens.

James, ruby from rhel6 is working perfectly. I've upgraded about 10
instances with chef and 1 week everything is ok, I suppose we solved
the problem. Big thanks for you!

2011/8/15 James js@aegisco.com:

Titov,
Which version of ruby did you try? I built a new version over the weekend
which I'm more hopeful about, it's essentially a backport of the one in
rhel6-updates, and a few of the patches are different.
I posted on the list over the weekend the instructions to test.
I really appreciate your help, as I'm still not able to reproduce,
James

I suppose this information can help somebody to explain problems.
Seems that it's a number of causes of crash to different builds.

That last question was phrased awkwardly, let's expand to three:
ruby version [ie, 1.8.7-352]
ruby install type [ie, package, source]
ruby source [ie, ruby,org, aegisco, rbel]
CentOS version [ie, 5.5, 5.6]

Thanks very much for this, I don't know if I would have found
it...
I have to say that I'm confounded; we need more information. I'm
not
able
to reproduce these problems on the public CentOS AMI's I have used
for
testing, and I don't have CentOS systems in production. I believe
the
most
important information we need is:
ruby version [ie, 1.8.7-352]
ruby install type [ie, package, source]
ruby source [ie, ruby,org, aegisco, rbel]
CentOS version [ie, 5.5, 5.6]
CentOS source [ie, AMI, iso, veewee]

Does the error never occur on the first run, but does occur after
the
first, intermittently?
It would also be ideal to get traces for these segfaults.

There's a bug on RHEL5 with prelinking. I think it was x86_64
only
but
I'm not positive at this point.

I had an RPM of 1.9.2 I build monolithically and packaged with
fpm.
It
install in the system path (we explicitly didn't install RHEL
ruby
at
all)

Every morning at 4AM all our ruby-based cronjobs and chef itself
would
stop working. Prelink was the only cronjob of importance that ran
at
that time so a bit of googling lead to this (iirc)

http://www.tsheffler.com/blog/?p=491

I opted to just remove prelink from the system since this isn't
the
first time I've seen it cause issues. In your case, you'd
probably
add
the exclusion as part of the RPM.

It's easy enough to test, uninstall/disable the prelink cron job
and
see if it still happens.

John,
Please elaborate?

After a day? Sounds like the prelinking bug.

Hi James,

Problem is still persist:

It happens after a day chef working. New binaries didn't
help=(.

Titov,
We use different build methods, but largely the same spec
files,
for
all of
the dependencies. Some of the versions of dependencies are
different.
The
spec files for the rubygems are going to be different as
well.
Sergio
uses
gem2rpm whereas I use fpm.
These have so far only been tested on my own test systems,
I
would
really
appreciate other people testing them because I'll move them
to
the
stable
repo and start building out the rest of the Server
dependencies,
as
well as
builds for el6 and potentially FC.

What is the difference between spec files for your ruby

and

How long did you test this rpms for segfaults?

All of the el5 i386 and x86_64 ruby, chef, and chef

The rubygem-chef 0.10.5 package itself is held up on
what
I
think is
an
incompatibility between rubygem's pessimistic version
constraint
[1]
and
rpm's lack of support for this feature. If someone can
confirm
this
and
write a translation layer for fpm, that would be
wonderful.
In
the
interim,
I'll build these rpms by hand with modifications to the
fpm-generated
spec

I have tested the i386 install for the segfaulting
issues
we
were
seeing
previously, and they seem to be resolved. Further
confirmation
on
this
would
be helpful as well.
