enricobuehlerandClaude Opus 5 7b053a4a39 fix(packaging/rpm): a release must not publish unsigned RPMs into a gpgcheck=1 repo
Signing was already live and the docs were half right about it. `RPM_GPG_PRIVATE_KEY`
is an ORG-level secret on unom, so it is invisible in this repo's Actions secrets —
which reads exactly like "never set up", and both the rpm.yml step name and
sign-rpms.sh's header still said "dormant". Checked it on the wire instead: a
published punktfunk-web RPM carries an OpenPGP V4 EdDSA header signature from
af245c506f4e4763, the same key committed at packaging/rpm/RPM-GPG-KEY-punktfunk.

The real gap was the failure mode. README.md hands users a repo file with
gpgcheck=1, but sign-rpms.sh exits 0 when the key is missing — so an org secret
that got rotated, renamed, or not inherited would publish an unsigned release into
a repo that rejects unsigned packages, and every user's `dnf upgrade` would break
with us none the wiser. On refs/tags/v* that is now a build failure. Other builds
still fall through unsigned so forks and local builds keep working.

Docs corrected to match: the org-level location (with a wire-level check that
doesn't depend on where the secret lives), the fail-closed rule, and a note that
`rpmkeys --checksig` reporting NOKEY still means signed.

Guard tested locally: exit 1 on refs/tags/v0.21.0, exit 0 on refs/heads/main and
on an unset ref.

punktfunk-host — RPM (Bazzite / Fedora Atomic) via the Gitea registry

punktfunk-host is published as an RPM to Gitea's RPM package registry in the public unom org (stable groups bazzite/fedora-44, canary groups bazzite-canary/fedora-44-canary), so Bazzite / Fedora Atomic hosts layer and update it with rpm-ostree. CI (.gitea/workflows/rpm.yml) builds and publishes on every push to main (a rolling <next-minor>-0.ciN.g<sha> build — the base is derived from the latest stable tag by scripts/ci/pf-version.sh — to the *-canary groups) and on vX.Y.Z tags (a clean X.Y.Z-1 to the base groups, plus attached to the unified Gitea Release) — separate repos, so a stable box never jumps to a canary build (see Release Channels). The baseurl below subscribes to the bazzite stable group; use bazzite-canary for the latest main builds. The RPM is built in the Fedora 43 image (ci/fedora-rpm.Dockerfile) so its auto-generated library Requires (libavcodec.so.NN, …) match Bazzite's sonames; the NVIDIA driver lib (libcuda.so.1) is excluded — NVENC/EGL come from whatever NVIDIA stack the host runs (a weak Recommends).

This is the same package as the COPR / bootc paths — same spec (punktfunk.spec) — just self-hosted in Gitea instead of COPR, mirroring the Debian/apt setup.

Install on a Bazzite host (one-time)

# Add the repo. Packages are GPG-signed (gpgcheck=1, the packages@unom.io key) AND the repo
# metadata is Gitea-signed (repo_gpgcheck=1); gpgkey lists both so dnf/rpm-ostree imports each.
sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/punktfunk.repo >/dev/null <<'REPO'
[gitea-unom-bazzite]
name=punktfunk (unom, Bazzite)
baseurl=https://git.unom.io/api/packages/unom/rpm/bazzite

REPO

# Layer the host + the web console (pairing/status), then reboot into the new deployment.
# (punktfunk Recommends punktfunk-web; list it explicitly so it's pulled regardless of weak-dep
# settings. The registry carries punktfunk-web because CI builds the spec --with web; COPR can't.)
rpm-ostree install punktfunk punktfunk-web
systemctl reboot

If rpm-ostree can't complete the metadata GPG check non-interactively, set repo_gpgcheck=0 (TLS-only trust to the self-hosted registry).

Per-package signing (gpgcheck=1, active)

CI GPG-signs every RPM: packaging/rpm/sign-rpms.sh (run from rpm.yml between build and publish) signs with the dedicated EdDSA key packages@unom.io (AF245C506F4E4763) and self-verifies with rpmkeys --checksig before publishing, so an unsigned/bad build never reaches the registry. The public key is served from the registry (the gpgkey= URL above) and committed at packaging/rpm/RPM-GPG-KEY-punktfunk. (This is a GPG/OpenPGP key — a step-ca/X.509 cert can't sign RPMs; step-ca is only for registry/console TLS.)

RPM_GPG_PRIVATE_KEY is an org-level secret on unom, not a repo secret — it will not show up under this repository's Actions secrets. Verify it end to end instead of by its absence there: curl -O <repo-url>/package/punktfunk-web/<ver>/x86_64/…rpm && rpm -qp --qf '%{RSAHEADER:pgpsig}\n' (or rpmkeys --checksig, which reports NOKEY until you import the public key — NOKEY still means signed, just by a key that box doesn't have yet).

On a v* tag build, a missing key fails the build: sign-rpms.sh will not publish unsigned RPMs into a repo whose own instructions say gpgcheck=1, because every user's dnf upgrade would then break on them. Non-release builds still fall through unsigned so forks and local builds work.

How it was set up (and how to rotate the key):

# 1. Generate a DEDICATED, passphrase-less signing key (separate from the Gitea metadata key).
gpg --batch --gen-key <<EOF
%no-protection
Key-Type: eddsa
Key-Curve: ed25519
Name-Real: punktfunk packages
Name-Email: packages@unom.io
Expire-Date: 0
%commit
EOF
gpg --armor --export-secret-keys packages@unom.io   # -> the RPM_GPG_PRIVATE_KEY CI secret
gpg --armor --export             packages@unom.io > packaging/rpm/RPM-GPG-KEY-punktfunk  # public half

# 2. Add the armored PRIVATE key as the RPM_GPG_PRIVATE_KEY Gitea Actions secret, at the ORG level
#    (git.unom.io/org/unom/settings/actions/secrets) so every repo's workflows inherit it. Commit
#    the public half and publish it to the registry so the gpgkey= URL resolves:
curl --user "<user>:<write:package-PAT>" --upload-file packaging/rpm/RPM-GPG-KEY-punktfunk \
  https://git.unom.io/api/packages/unom/generic/punktfunk-keys/1/RPM-GPG-KEY-punktfunk

Rotating the key means a new generic-registry version (bump punktfunk-keys/1/2 and the gpgkey= URL), since the registry rejects re-uploading an existing file.

After reboot, as the desktop user:

ujust add-user-to-input-group           # virtual gamepads need /dev/uinput (re-login).
                                        # Bazzite is atomic — use ujust, NOT `usermod -aG input`.
mkdir -p ~/.config/punktfunk
cp /usr/share/punktfunk/host.env.bazzite ~/.config/punktfunk/host.env   # gamescope defaults
systemctl --user enable --now punktfunk-host
# Web console — enable it and read the auto-generated login password (then open https://<host-ip>:47992):
systemctl --user enable --now punktfunk-web
journalctl --user -u punktfunk-web-init | sed -n 's/.*password generated: //p'

(See ../bazzite/README.md for the full appliance walkthrough — udev/group, host.env, the Steam session unit, firewall, verify.)

Updates

rpm-ostree upgrade            # pulls the newest punktfunk with the system update
systemctl reboot             # rpm-ostree changes apply on reboot

Layered packages are re-resolved against their repos on every rpm-ostree upgrade, so the box tracks new builds automatically (Bazzite's auto-update timer does this for you). To pin or stop tracking: rpm-ostree override / rpm-ostree uninstall punktfunk.

Build an RPM locally

PF_VERSION=0.0.1 bash packaging/rpm/build-rpm.sh                # host + client
PF_VERSION=0.0.1 PF_WITH_WEB=1 bash packaging/rpm/build-rpm.sh  # + punktfunk-web (needs bun on PATH)
# -> dist/punktfunk-0.0.1-1.fcNN.x86_64.rpm  (+ punktfunk-web-0.0.1-1.fcNN.x86_64.rpm with PF_WITH_WEB=1;
#    the web subpackage vendors a bun binary, so it's arch-specific, not noarch)

Run it inside the Fedora 43 builder image so the deps resolve and match Bazzite:

docker build -f ci/fedora-rpm.Dockerfile -t punktfunk-fedora-rpm ci
docker run --rm -v "$PWD:/src" -w /src punktfunk-fedora-rpm \
  bash -lc 'git config --global --add safe.directory /src && PF_VERSION=0.0.1 bash packaging/rpm/build-rpm.sh'

A plain rpmbuild/COPR build with no pf_version/pf_release defines produces 0.3.0-1 (the spec defaults).

aarch64 — the client RPM

The client builds for aarch64; the host does not (its encode stack is NVENC/QSV/AMF, all x86). PF_WITHOUT_HOST=1 drops the host binary, the tray, the headless-session data, the firewalld services and the main package's %files, leaving exactly one RPM: punktfunk-client. Omitting the main %files is what keeps rpm from emitting an empty punktfunk next to it.

This is not a cross-compile — %build runs cargo for the host architecture, so run it on an arm64 machine (or an emulated arm64 container, which is very slow):

docker build --platform linux/arm64 -f ci/fedora-rpm.Dockerfile -t punktfunk-fedora-rpm-arm64 ci
docker run --rm --platform linux/arm64 -v "$PWD:/src" -w /src punktfunk-fedora-rpm-arm64 \
  bash -lc 'git config --global --add safe.directory /src && \
            PF_VERSION=0.0.1 PF_WITHOUT_HOST=1 bash packaging/rpm/build-rpm.sh'
# -> dist/punktfunk-client-0.0.1-1.fcNN.aarch64.rpm

PF_WITHOUT_HOST=1 works on x86_64 too, if you only want the client RPM. The flag is orthogonal to the architecture; it is just that aarch64 has no other option.
