Subject: mkosi: trim verity.sig json files to remove NUL padding before passing to jq
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6dccf54cd646fe0621b4f256e7d61ad2fec2cbe6;p=thirdparty%2Fsystemd.git

mkosi: trim verity.sig json files to remove NUL padding before passing to jq

jq started rejecting input that has NUL bytes to fix some security issues,
so we need to trim the verity.sig json files, which are spat out with
the NUL bytes padding from the GPT partition content.

‣  Running postinstall script /home/runner/work/systemd/systemd/mkosi/mkosi.postinst.chroot…
jq: parse error: Invalid numeric literal at EOF at line 1, column 16384
‣ "/work/postinst final" returned non-zero exit code 5.
