This was important when building crosvm required assembling our own
build tree from lots of different repositories, but now that they've
moved to submodules, it's overly complicated and needlessly
inconsistent with the rest of Nixpkgs.
These are no longer by default as they have been extracted into their
own crate, so this code wasn't doing anything. If we did want to run
the integration tests again, we'd have to download kernel and rootfs
binaries from Google, and that's more trouble than it's worth.
manifest-versions never seems to contain the release build any more,
so we can't use it to find the version of crosvm being served to CrOS
devices.
Instead, I've changed the update script to take the latest version of
the appropriate crosvm Chrome OS release branch. This is the branch
that gets served. Every release, it is branched off from the
"chromeos" branch (which is the one that passes Chrome OS QA), and
then collects any critical fixes over the lifetime of the release.
With this change, I've introduced a new, simplified versioning
scheme, e.g. 100.0. The tip build is always 1:1 with the Chrome
version, so having both of those is redundant. The other number is
the number of commits that have been added to the release branch after
branching from the chromeos branch, so that the number will go up if
we update to include a new commit from the same release.
The old dashboard no longer exists. Currently, the platform version
being served doesn't exist in manifest versions, but that was also a
problem we had before sometimes.
Otherwise, we might only match a prefix of the version. (Although
it's not likely to be a problem in practice — I doubt we'll end up in
a situation where there's a buildspec number 10x the one we're looking
for.)
This patch fixes issues with error codes on Darwin host and Linux guest.
It has landed in QEMU master, so should be included in the next release.
