Builds checksum change randomly

Thovi98

Hello all 👋
In Yunohost, while installing an app, the checksum is checked.
But for Funkwhale it randomly changes, which then leads to failed installations, e.g. the latest CI test : https://ci-apps.yunohost.org/ci/job/17211
How is it possible that a checksum changes for a specific release? Is there a way to prevent that?
Thanks 🐳

Can you specify which artifact you are calculating a checksum for?

gcrk

https://dev.funkwhale.audio/funkwhale/funkwhale/-/jobs/artifacts/1.3.1/download?job=build_api

And the one for the front.

Thats really weird and I have no idea how this can happen. The jobs run once, so the file itself should have remained the same.

How often is the checksum changing?

Thovi98

Very randomly. It's the first time for 1.3.1, but for 1.2.10 I think I had it three times in a day (see https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/funkwhale_ynh/issues/220 too).

The problem might be that Gitlab compresses the artifacts on the fly when you request it, so there might be several reasons why the checksum changes. I am not sure if there is a way for us to fix this quickly, but we are already planning to start using release artifacts instead of pipeline artifacts, which should solve the issue. @jooola started working on this iirc

Okay thanks! No pressure anyway, at least you know the issue.
I will update the checksum when I see a mismatch.

Thanks for all your great work 🐳
