 pentane | oh and btw, just to reiterate what I said earlier, I won't merge any LLM-generated or LLM-assisted contributions, ever. | 06:34:12 |
| pentane | looked into this just now btw and it seems like LOS did us the favour of documenting the "API" the update server needs to have: https://github.com/LineageOS/android_packages_apps_Updater/blob/lineage-23.2/README.md | 06:35:14 |
| pentane | having dug into this a bit deeper - the JSON response format dorsn't seem to have changed at all, but we rather need to change the resource URL we set via the product RRO in modules/apps/updater.nix | 07:26:38 |
| pentane | ok nvm. the problem solely seems to be that the overlay doesn't get applied correctly | 22:07:51 |
| pentane | namespace collision with some stock LineageOS overlay maybe? | 22:08:06 |

| pentane | robotnix is not an official NixOS project, and has no formal governance model except for a de-factor meritocracy à la "whoever steps up to maintain it gets to call the shots" | 18:07:24 |
 magic_rb | And the current BDFL has a more sane take than the nixos project thankfully | 18:09:24 |
| pentane | but still </topic> please | 18:11:13 |
| pentane | * but still, </topic> please | 18:11:19 |

| pentane | Oh lol, this room got matrixed again as it seems | 18:37:26 |
| pentane | Okay so I think I've narrowed down the problem to a namespace collision w.r.t. Updater__lineage_FP4__auto_generated_rro_product | 21:45:08 |
| pentane | I am however unsure whether the two auto-generated overlays (the stock lineage one and the robotnix one) should be merged, or whether they should be two different APKs with distinct names | 21:46:22 |

| bigfreakintaco | Hello Everyone :) | 15:37:37 |
| bigfreakintaco | I just want to say thank you to all the devs/contributors to this project! | 15:56:05 |
 chrillefkr | Hey, anyone gotten this issue before?

| pentane | are you trying to sign a lineageos build perchance? | 20:50:48 |
| chrillefkr | Yeahh, for Fairphone 4 | 21:06:08 |
| pentane | hm, are you creating an entirely new build, or updating an existing one? | 21:10:51 |
| pentane | Because if you're creating a new one, I'd recommend setting stateVersion = "3" | 21:11:19 |
| pentane | (signing is known to be somewhat brittle with the earlier state versions) | 21:11:34 |
| chrillefkr | Updating existing one, from back in february. I've set stateVersion to 1, as it seemed to fit the instructions given, after I had updated flake inputs. What is stateVersion really? | 21:12:35 |
| pentane | Ah okay, then you should keep your stateVersion fixed to "1" | 21:13:10 |
| pentane | I'm a bit surprised though that the signing seems to have worked back then, I thought LOS signing was pretty much consistently broken until ~march | 21:13:43 |
| chrillefkr | I also regenerated avb key sizes to 4096. I guess that will cause OTA update to fail though :/ | 21:14:18 |
| chrillefkr | Lol, lucky me I guess | 21:14:43 |
| pentane |
What is stateVersion really?
I made backwards-incompatible changes to how exactly the APKs and APEXes are being signed in robotnix, and I introduced stateVersion to prevent these breaking changes from occuring
| 21:14:48 |
| pentane | if it's really just the avb keys that you regenerated (which you shouldn't do btw - you should set avbKeySize to your old value instead ;) ), the OTA upgrade will only fail if you relocked your bootloader | 21:15:29 |
