Ubuntu package builds are out of date

[itaysk]

Im using Ubuntu Bionic, Following instructions from the INSTALL.md, I get old versions from both the stable and the nightly channels (0.10 and 0.11 respectively).
The sources confirm, e.g for nightly last updated at July 2019: https://repo.iovisor.org/apt/bionic/dists/bionic-nightly/main/binary-amd64/

Duplicates #2676

[pjsg]

I don't think that this is a duplicate or #2676 as that refers to the Ubuntu supplied packages. This bug is about the builds that are installed by

echo "deb [trusted=yes] https://repo.iovisor.org/apt/xenial xenial-nightly main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/iovisor.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bcc-tools libbcc-examples linux-headers-$(uname -r)

(replace xenial with artful or bionic as appropriate)

It appears that the CI builds of these stopped working back in the summer -- the most recent working build commit was 6836168.

... time passes ....

The last commit that got the nightly packages built was as part of #2439 and the next PR that I found that got merged was #2444 which seems to be talking about enabling Travis CI. I wonder if some configuration change that was made as part of #2444 actually broke the nightly builds.....

I'd like to offer my help fixing this issue. can anyone point me to where this release is defined? I've looked at travis and github actions workflows which doesn't seem related to release

I can confirm that the nightly packages for ubuntu xenial are also out of date. They are based off of 6836168 which over 10 months old ...

For anyone interested, I'm trying to maintain relatively new versions of bunch of BPF-related projects back to Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic) and newer. Here they are:

• bpfcc
• bpftrace
• libbpf

I'm basing the builds on the official Debian/Ubuntu packages.

@hadret Thanks a lot!

@hadret Great Job!

Is there any suggestion for me to install specific version? thanks.

Is there any suggestion for me to install specific version? thanks.

Not really, no. I'm trying to follow latest releases and that's essentially it.

Hi,

Thanks a lot @hadret 👍

Is there any official iovisor apt-repository that I can install latest ones?

[hadret]

@serkan-ozal I believe they do provide the instructions in their readme, here: https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/blob/master/INSTALL.md#ubuntu---binary

With that said, you might be better off using official packages at this point: https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=bpfcc Or with backporting newer versions from Debian: https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=bpfcc

Otherwise, there are my PPAs I mentioned above, but they aren't official.
