Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] [platform-releng-dev] [epp-dev] Issue with the macOS bundle signing, dmg packaging and signing

Same here... I enabled signing and building DMG files today, and now I'm running our Oxygen.1 build (still running...).
The first .dmg files are already available!

Many thanks!

Regards,
Markus

Hi Mikaël (and all other involved parties)

I was one of those pushing hard on this and also ranting. Kudos that you guys were able to solve the problem. We were able to have several successful builds in a row.

Thanks a lot - really appreciated!

Hi,

I'm glad to announced that the macOS services (.app signing, .dmg packaging and .dmg signing) have been restored on a new machine hosted within the Foundation VLAN.

If you've disabled their usages, you can now re-enable them as it was before. The authentication layer I was talking about in my initial mail will be released later to possibly let us use resources outside of the Foundation VLAN. We will keep you posted.

Thanks for your patience while we were resolving this issue.

Cheers,
Mikael

Hi Dani,

Just a clarification -- the current (broken) Mac services are hosted on our hardware. We are working on two fronts --

1. Provision a temporary new Mac to re-establish the current service

2. Provision managed/hosted Mac services to avoid these problems in the future, as our in-house hardware is not redundant, and does not scale.

In the immediate terms, you can disable the signing parts in your build scripts for basically no cost, as signing is likely not needed on I-builds, nor to validate test results.

Mikael has offered to manually sign your the last release candidates so that release deadlines can be met.

I apologize for the inconveniences this causes, and thank you for your continued patience while we resolve this issue and make it better.

Denis

Can you explain why this critical/blocking hardware is hosted outside the Eclipse Foundation, creating more/new issues and delays? Our automated builds don't play well with filing bugs (for signing and DMG creation) and wait for resolution ;-). Ah, and BTW, our latest Photon M2 candidate build just failed again: http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/I20170911-0405/

Hi,

Recently, we've been facing a lot of issues with the services we provide for macOS: UI testing, macOS .app bundles signing and DMG files creation and signing. It has been a combination of hardware, software and network failures and these issues have already impacted some projects, delaying their milestones/releases and consuming a lot of time from their teams.

Since the beginning of the week, we've setup a new machine to run UI tests from the Hudson shared instance (
https://hudson.eclipse.org/shared/). This machine is not hosted on our infra, and thus not everything that was possible can be done on the new machine (most notably, it's not possible to access machines inside the Eclipse VLAN). We still need to figure out if we want to make it possible, or if we want to set this fact as a restriction.

We've also successfully deployed and tested the signing and dmg packaging services on a similar machine. Unfortunately, we can't switch the current unreliable services to these new ones as they are also hosted outside of the Eclipse VLAN. As you may know, the services are insecure webapps (read plain HTTP) without any sort of authentication. We were using the fact that the services were running inside the VLAN to "protect" them. Only Eclipse projects and committers were both trusted to use the service by having access to the VLAN via their Hudson/Jenkins instance.

Opening the new services on a machine directly connected to the internet would let anyone sign a macOS application with the Eclipse certificate. This is something we want to avoid at all cost as it would ruin all the trust one can have in this certificate. So we are working hard to add a authentication layer and run the service on top of HTTPS to be able to provide these services reliably from the new machines. But it takes some time.

As we don't want these issues to delay the release of Oxygen.1 or any project that uses these services, we come here with an temporary plan:

If you need to sign a macOS app and/or create a signed DMG for it, just
open a bug against CBI / signing service and we will do it for you. You will need to give us the path on download.eclipse.orgto the .tar.gz of the macOS application you want us to sign / package on download.eclipse.org. You will probably have to deactivate the usage of the CBI maven plugins (eclipse-macsigner-plugin and eclipse-dmg-packager) if you use Tycho. The output of the product build should then be a simple tar.gz of your .app Eclipse product.

If you have any question, feel free to open a bug against CBI or just ask it here.

Thanks for your patience.

Mikael
