I've finally moved away from LC_MESSAGES=C on my main
development system half a year ago and finally spotted
that a grep for "Stop\.$" stopped to yield anything now.
It appears that manually specified IMAGEDIR, e.g. by adding
IMAGEDIR = ~/out/$(shell date +%Y%m%d)
to ~/.mkimage/profiles.mk, might be problematic due to
missing globbing. Let's make sure the paths are globbed
and directories are created -- since make's wildcard()
returns an empty string when there's nothing there [yet].
Somewhat kludgy unfortunately and might need even more tweaking,
I have only armv7l board handy at the moment to verify that
the transformation is going to work.
QEMU is bailing out here and now ("Exec format error").
Example sources.list.sisyphus.armh of the season:
rpm http://ftp.altlinux.ru/pub/people/asdus/sisyphus armh classic
rpm http://ftp.altlinux.ru/pub/people/asdus/sisyphus noarch classic
mkimage and hasher can make use of qemu to run
non-native binaries while working on the chroots;
thanks kas@, manowar@ and sbolshakov@ for implementing
this functionality as well as providing nice examples
through mkimage-profiles-arm and mkimage-profile-armrootfs.
This required the architecture check to be added since baking
a tarball with "arm" as its specified arch and x86_64 inside
isn't particularly good thing to let slip through; however
the implementation is quite fragile, bugreports and patches
are seriously welcome.
NB: APTCONF evaluation order between lazy make and nimble shell
turned out to be quite a delicate issue in this particular case.
The only thing to be fixed was setarch(8) symlinks assumption
that is correct for x86 but not for ARM.
There's also some hasher(7) setup to be done:
mkdir -p ~/.hasher
echo >> ~/.hasher/config <<-EOF
def_target=arm
#cache_dir=$HOME/tmp # depends on RAM/storage configuration
EOF
...and of course apt(8) should be properly set up too.
An example PoC build on a CM-A510 board (tmpfs):
$ make BRANDING=altlinux-centaurus ve/bare.tar.gz
** ARCH: arm
18:10:45 initializing BUILDDIR: build/
18:10:45 preparing distro config: build/distcfg.mk
18:10:46 starting image build: tail -f build/build.log
18:14:49 done (4:02)
** image: $TMP/out/bare-20120706-arm.tar.gz [23M]
It's hard to tell a successful build from a failed one
if downstream hides the exit code; it's useless to continue
a `for' loop if a pipe shoves that to a subshell; well it seems
that a bashism is worth a thousand quirks with extra fds here.
Minor regexp enhancements are also due.
reports.mk made a bit more resilient/prudent either.
A pretty common issue breaking the image build is inter-package
file conflict resulting in hsh-install failure down there.
Let's bring that back to attention conveniently.
The purpose is being able to examine particular target interdependency
graph for a given image having been configured to avoid convoluted
dependencies (loops in particular).
The implementation is based on SHELL hook hint by John Graham-Cumming:
http://cmcrossroads.com/ask-mr-make/6535-tracing-rule-execution-in-gnu-make
It was briefly mentioned in QUICKSTART but somehow managed
to evade the commandlines provided. And while at it, let's
make errors like this more explicit to avoid extra lookups.
Oh, and fix QUICKSTART so that readers miss the hassle. :)
Thanks Vladimir Karpinsky for pointing this problem out.
The former toplevel Makefile is now toplevel main.mk;
this change allows for multi-target, multi-arch processing
in the current toplevel Makefile.
As the "build" symlink semantics change quite considerably
when one is doing bulk builds (several pruned builddirs might
be useful for comparison), BUILDDIR is now much more likely
to be recreated: the cases when it will persist are when it's
either a single-image build or when the prefix hasn't changed.
There are some more or less subtle bugfixes and enhancements
all over the map as well.
Done within 20111230..20120102 timeframe, actually...
The idea is to check:
- the reachability of every target
used to build the image in question;
- the availability of all the package lists
and subsequently packages for that image;
- the lack of "dangling" intermediate targets,
features, pkglists, hooks etc.
So far only the first step is implemented --
it's easy and somewhat helpful already for
make CHECK=1 all
As was (quite reasonably) asked by someone and me too,
why should a successful build yield a *red* line
(a grep's default)?
So now it's new and improved, 25% free and so forth:
with a successful build you get a green line, while
errors from a broke one result in red ones.
Clinically tested in both b/w and w/b colour schemes;
in case you're not satisfied, please return original
ANSI_OK and ANSI_FAIL values to the colour dealer
and pass your favourite ones instead.
Essentially some more polishing:
- image path extracted from downstream build log;
- extended error/warning regexp a bit so those with
color grep options get even prettier output.
Notes:
- "1024" a magic number (briefly explained when introduced)
moved to a sort of variable;
- "100 lines" for tail(1) is a rule-of-thumb taking into account
typical amount of hasher/mkimage exhaust given GLOBAL_VERBOSE.
This one regulates the build wrapper: if the value is non-empty
then nice(1) and ionice(1) will be attempted so that the build
behaves better in regard to other tasks running on the system.
A few doc/variables.txt updates along the way.
Thanks torabora@ for yet again seemingly obvious feature request
which strangely managed to evade implementation before.
On an afterthought, mass builds would suggest too much coffee
instead of a progress indicator -- so implemented the latter.
NB: the actual downstream-make-calling rule would expand the "naive"
$(shell date) too early: the rule is evaluated before starting its
execution, and as it's the time consuming one the shell evaluation
was in need, not make's. The result is less generally available
(needs to be double quoted and won't work inside e.g. awk programs)
but way more precise.
Implemented opportunistic alarm support as proposed by torabora;
the actual result depends on readline and/or terminal settings
(read up on "visual bell" vs "audible bell" in case it's wrong).
TODO: this ought to be shifted downstream when proper logging
framework is there.
This is quite a large-scale change since mkimage-profiles got used to
baking distributions over the last year, and virtual environments are
quite different, so e.g. image.in/Makefile had to be split in two with
the main part of it moved into features.in/iso/lib/.
Short overview:
- features.in/Makefile: lib/ support
(supporting VE images requires dynamic modifications
to image.in/Makefile before starting the build;
the most natural way to achieve that seems to use
features mechanism along with makefile include dir)
- packaging format related part moved into features.in/pack
(should be better prepared for diversity either)
- features.in/iso renamed to features.in/build-distro
- features.in/ve renamed to features.in/build-ve
+ NB: these could not be merged as e.g. features.in/build
due to completely different script hooks
- lib/image.mk renamed to lib/build.mk
- image, config, log postprocessing moved downstream
- added a sort of a topping in the form of lib/sugar.mk
- assorted style fixups (like ifeq usage)
- clean.mk: reliability fix (the problem was observed by Oleg Ivanov
and me too but finally it did get the attention quantum)
- reviewed, updated and extended docs
+ QUICKSTART: should be[come] a step-by-step guide
(thanks Leo-sp50 for prodiving feedback)
