group ezbake builds based on legacy/modern OS by bastelfreak · Pull Request #127 · OpenVoxProject/shared-actions

ezbake 4 uses a proper systemd setup with Type=notify-reload, but that requires systemd 253
(https://github.com/systemd/systemd/releases/tag/v253). For older OSes, we need to stick to ezbake 2. We don't talk about ezbake 3.

why only 22 here? in 8.x you also du 24 and 26?

only ubuntu 22.04 is built with ezbake 2. ubuntu 24.04 and newer are built with ezbake 4 (see the ezbake4-deb key).

After staring at EZbake long enough, I think I see how to sort this out in fpm.rb so that we can just use 4.x for everything. Going to scratch at that during Happy Hour today.

bastelfreak · 2026-09-04T15:32:42Z

Keep in mind that all the wrapper scripts that are used in the ezbake 2 systemd units got ripped out of ezbake 4. I considered fixing this in ezbake 4, but getting all the files back seemed too much work. In the end I don't care how we fix this, and this split CI workflow is kinda hacky. If you want to invest the time and fix it directly in ezbake 4, that's great, I just don't know if it's worth the effort.

ezbake 4 uses a proper systemd setup with Type=notify-reload, but that requires systemd 253 (https://github.com/systemd/systemd/releases/tag/v253). For older OSes, we need to stick to ezbake 2.

I added el-9 here. systemd 252 in EL9 too old, but it was backported: https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/RHEL-6090 . We need to verify this for the various EL9 distros (and amazon 2023?)
