Summary

  • Distro Linux images are defined once in ingestion/distro-images.env, loaded by ingestion/ingestion/docker_runner.py, and exported to the update-dataset workflow from the same file. Fedora is 44 and Alpine is 3.24.
  • _image_ref first validates the distro against the known container distro list, so an override for an unknown distro (for example BETTERMAN_FREEBSD_IMAGE_REF) still raises unsupported distro. Only then does it honor a BETTERMAN_<DISTRO>_IMAGE_REF override, which skips reading distro-images.env. A test asserts the file is not read in either path, and another checks the known list matches the file.
  • The update-docs image-loading step writes to a temp file, validates every line against BETTERMAN_<DISTRO>_IMAGE_REF=<ref>, and only then appends to $GITHUB_ENV. Stray stdout or empty output fails the step.
  • The Fedora/Alpine version-floor test reports a clear message when a tag is non-numeric.

Testing

  • cd ingestion && uv run python -m pytest: 88 passed, coverage 77.75% (gate 60%).
  • uv run ruff check . and uv run ruff format --check .: clean.
  • The new unsupported-distro-with-override test fails against the previous _image_ref and passes with this change.
  • Simulated the workflow validation with clean output (accepted) and with stray stdout, empty output, and whitespace in a value (rejected).

Summary by Sourcery

Centralize supported distro images and harden their use across ingestion and update workflows.

New Features:

  • Centralize Linux ingestion container image references in a shared configuration file and update Fedora and Alpine to supported releases.

Bug Fixes:

  • Restore Fedora package man pages reliably by updating packages before reinstalling them when the original image build is no longer available.
  • Prevent malformed or unexpected image environment entries from being exported by the documentation update workflow.

Enhancements:

  • Allow environment-based image overrides while keeping distro validation and shared defaults consistent across local ingestion and CI workflows.

Documentation:

  • Document the shared distro image configuration and update operational troubleshooting examples to use it.

Tests:

  • Add coverage for shared image loading, overrides, validation, release version floors, and Fedora package handling.

Move Linux container tags into ingestion/distro-images.env and load that
file from the runner and the monthly workflow. Fedora 44 and Alpine 3.24
replace the end-of-life tags. On Fedora, upgrade image builds the mirror
no longer publishes before reinstalling them so man pages are restored.

📝 Summary

Walkthrough

The Docker runner now loads Linux container image references from a shared file, and the workflow exports those references before ingestion. Fedora package installation now upgrades previously installed requested packages before reinstalling them.

Changes

Linux ingestion

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configure and resolve distro images
ingestion/distro-images.env, ingestion/ingestion/docker_runner.py, ingestion/tests/test_docker_runner.py
The shared file defines images for Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch Linux, and Alpine. The Docker runner parses the file, validates its entries, and uses its image references or environment overrides. Tests cover parsing errors and runner image selection.
Export image settings and document the workflow
.github/workflows/update-docs.yml, ingestion/tests/test_docker_runner.py, docs/runbooks/multi-distro-ops.md, ingestion/README.md
The workflow exports image references from the shared configuration before ingestion. Tests check image versions, environment mapping, and removal of hard-coded references. Documentation points to the shared configuration.
Upgrade installed Fedora packages before reinstalling
ingestion/ingestion/fedora.py, ingestion/tests/test_fedora.py, CHANGELOG.md
Fedora installation upgrades previously installed requested packages before reinstalling them. When no requested packages are already installed, it skips both steps. The changelog describes the image and Fedora updates.

Two troubleshooting commands in the multi-distro runbook have broken quoting and will not produce useful output. Fix the quoting before relying on them; the ingestion behavior itself is not affected.

Reviewer's Guide

The PR centralizes Linux ingestion image tags in a validated shared env file consumed by both the local runner and dataset workflow, upgrades Fedora and Alpine to supported releases, and hardens Fedora package reinstall logic by upgrading stale image packages before restoring their man pages.

Hey - I've reviewed your changes and they look great!

Sourcery assessment

Needs a human reviewer. The shared image configuration and Fedora package upgrade/reinstall behavior change the contents produced by the ingestion workflow and can write incorrect man-page data into the dataset. Reverting stops future runs, and the affected release can be recomputed by rerunning ingestion, so the impact is bounded and repairable.

pytest is already imported at ingestion/tests/test_docker_runner.py:6, so the pytest.raises calls do not cause a NameError. No change is needed.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Fix the shell escaping in both Confirm commands.

Each command wraps the sh -lc script in single quotes. Inside single quotes, \" stays as a backslash and a quote. The inner shell then passes literal " characters to the tool.

  • Line 120: sed receives "1,80p" and fails with an unknown-command error.
  • Line 140: grep searches for the pattern "^NoExtract", including the quote characters, so it never matches.

Remove the backslashes. Use double quotes inside the single-quoted script.

Proposed fix
-  - `image=$(awk -F= '$1=="ubuntu"{print $2}' ingestion/distro-images.env); docker run --rm "$image" sh -lc 'test -f /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/excludes && cat /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/excludes | sed -n \"1,80p\"'`
+  - `image=$(awk -F= '$1=="ubuntu"{print $2}' ingestion/distro-images.env); docker run --rm "$image" sh -lc 'test -f /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/excludes && sed -n "1,80p" /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/excludes'`
-  - `image=$(awk -F= '$1=="arch"{print $2}' ingestion/distro-images.env); docker run --rm "$image" sh -lc 'grep -n \"^NoExtract\" /etc/pacman.conf || true'`
+  - `image=$(awk -F= '$1=="arch"{print $2}' ingestion/distro-images.env); docker run --rm "$image" sh -lc 'grep -n "^NoExtract" /etc/pacman.conf || true'`

The confirm commands passed backslash-escaped quotes into a single-quoted
sh -lc script, so sed and grep received the quote characters. Use real
double quotes inside that script.

Read ingestion/distro-images.env only when no BETTERMAN_*_IMAGE_REF override
is present, and make the version-floor test fail with a clear message on
non-numeric image tags.

Write the image assignments to a temp file, require every line to match
BETTERMAN_<DISTRO>_IMAGE_REF=<ref>, and only then append them to GITHUB_ENV
so stray stdout cannot corrupt the environment file.

…rides

Validate the distro against the known container distro list before reading
a BETTERMAN_*_IMAGE_REF override, so an override for an unknown distro
raises 'unsupported distro' instead of being accepted. The shared image
file remains the source of truth and is checked to match the known list.
