Surface `rockcraft pack` errors to accelerate development
Metadata
Current evaluation
Feature request to surface the functional error from override-build scripts in rockcraft pack output by default. Maintainer acknowledged and agreed with the goal but noted the difficulty of handling arbitrary bash scripts; requested suggestions for a general approach. No follow-up from reporter for over 2 years.
Suggested action: close stale
Reason: Maintainer tigarmo (2024-07-05) acknowledged the request and explicitly asked for 'suggestions on how to handle this in the general case' given that override-build scripts are arbitrary bash with no fixed error format. The reporter never provided a follow-up proposal, and the issue has had zero activity for over 2 years (787 days). The 'Failed to execute rockcraft in instance' message originates from craft-application upstream (no matches in the rockcraft repo), further complicating a local fix. Per the stale-closure guideline, a maintainer request for input left unanswered for well over 6 months is sufficient grounds to close.

needs triage | Proposal to surface underlying build errors directly in CLI output instead of requiring log inspection. Acknowledged by maintainers as conceptually valid but technically complex, with no further progress or labels in ~2 years. | |
