Analysis

Looking at the similar fixed build failures, I can see a common pattern: in all cases, there was a mismatch between the expected commit hash specified in the melange YAML file and the actual commit hash that the Git tag points to. The fixes consistently involved updating the expected-commit value in the git-checkout section to match the actual commit hash at the specified tag. This is exactly the same issue we're seeing with the current build failure for grafana-12.0, where the expected commit (5bda17e7c1cb313eb96266f2fdda73a6b35c3977) doesn't match the actual commit (76ea754dbb0bfb3e157981ec73ba4ef1efae4207) at the tag v12.0.2+security-01.

Explanation

The build is failing because there's a mismatch between the expected Git commit hash specified in the Melange YAML file and the actual commit hash that the Git tag v12.0.2+security-01 points to. The build system is expecting the tag to point to commit 5bda17e7c1cb313eb96266f2fdda73a6b35c3977, but it actually points to commit 76ea754dbb0bfb3e157981ec73ba4ef1efae4207.

This is a safety feature in the build system that ensures the exact expected code is being built. When the expected commit doesn't match the actual commit, the build fails to prevent potentially building unexpected or unverified code.

By updating the expected-commit value to match the actual commit that the tag points to (76ea754dbb0bfb3e157981ec73ba4ef1efae4207), we tell the build system that we're aware of and approve building from this specific commit. This is the standard approach seen in all the similar fixed build failures, where the expected-commit value was updated to match the actual commit hash at the specified tag.

Alternative Approaches

• Another approach would be to investigate why the tag points to a different commit than expected. If there was a recent change to the tag in the upstream repository (force-pushing a new commit to an existing tag), this could cause the mismatch. In that case, it might be worth checking if there were any security patches or critical fixes that led to the tag being updated.
• If there's concern about the unexpected commit, another option would be to pin to a specific commit hash instead of a tag by removing the tag parameter and just using the expected-commit. However, this approach is less maintainable as it wouldn't automatically follow tag updates, which is generally preferred for security patches.
• If this is a recurring issue with this repository, implementing a verification step in the pipeline that compares the expected commit with the actual commit before the build starts could help catch these issues earlier and provide more context about what changed.
