./sysutils/packer, Tool for creating identical machine images for multiple platforms

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 1.9.5nb8, Package name: packer-1.9.5nb8, Maintainer: iquiw

Packer is an open source tool for creating identical machine images for
multiple platforms from a single source configuration. Packer is
lightweight, runs on every major operating system, and is highly
performant, creating machine images for multiple platforms in
parallel. Packer does not replace configuration management like Chef or
Puppet. In fact, when building images, Packer is able to use tools like
Chef or Puppet to install software onto the image.

A machine image is a single static unit that contains a pre-configured
operating system and installed software which is used to quickly create new
running machines. Machine image formats change for each platform. Some
examples include AMIs for EC2, VMDK/VMX files for VMware, OVF exports for
VirtualBox, etc.

packer: update to 1.9.5 and add security fix

This is the last version before the change to a non-free license.

This fixes the following vulnerability:

Vulnerability #1: GO-2023-2402
    Man-in-the-middle attacker can compromise integrity of secure channel in
    golang.org/x/crypto
  More info: https://pkg.go.dev/vuln/GO-2023-2402
  Module: golang.org/x/crypto
    Found in: golang.org/x/crypto@v0.0.0-20220622213112-05595931fe9d
    Fixed in: golang.org/x/crypto@v0.17.0

1.9.3

core/docs: Clarify the expected usage of the packer init command for HCL2
template builds.
core/hcp: Add support for project-level service principals. A user connecting
with a project level service principals must provide a valid HCP_PROJECT_ID
in order to connect.
core: A new Docker image packer:release-full has been added for all
supported architectures. The release-full image includes Packer and all the
official plugins pre-installed in its environment.
core: Add enhanced support to Packer telemetry for bundle plugins usage.

1.9.4

Bug fix: When invoking Packer with the CHECKPOINT_DISABLE environment variable
the telemetry reporter is left uninitialized in order to disable telemetry
reporting.  Any method calls on the nil reporter is expected to check if the
reporter is active or in NOOP mode. The SetBundledUsage function, introduced in
Packer 1.9.2, failed to perform a nil check before attempting to modify an
attribute, causing Packer to fail when telemetry is disabled. This release
fixes this issue by introducing such a check.

1.9.5

Bump github.com/go-jose/go-jose/v3 to address GO-2023-2334.
Add VirtualBox as known plugin prefix to prevent endless bundled plugin
warning.
