"compare build" doesn't work

[Fathi Boudra]

I tried to compare 2 hwpacks (20111122-1 and 20111124-0) using "compare build" feature.
https://offspring.linaro.org/projects/lt-panda-x11-base-oneiric/

The comparison report isn't generated.

Note: it makes sense to check rootfs comparison as well. I'm pretty sure it doesn't work and isn't specific to hwpack.
[OT] Is there an API to get the report, instead of going through the web UI?

This fails because Offspring expects to find at least one file matching 'images/*/*.manifest' under the build's directory, as we can see on the snippet below:

        try:
            base_manifestPath = glob.glob(base_build.result_directory + '/images/*/*.manifest')[0]
            target_manifestPath = glob.glob(target_build.result_directory + '/images/*/*.manifest')[0]
        except:
            return rc.NOT_HERE

However, for hwpack builds the manifest file ends in .txt, so the code above doesn't match anything and we get a KeyError. Similarly, for the rootfs builds, it won't work because there doesn't seem to be a manifest at all.

Unless there's a good reason for having the hwpack manifest end in .txt, I think we should just change linaro-hwpack-create to drop the .txt from it.

Agree.
