This is long overdue. Some of this came up in recent
conversation. Let's keep up some continual background
momentum on documentation, just like CI.

Now that `cosa build-fast` writes to `.cosa`, teach our
test suite to pick that up by default. We don't anymore
support non-CoreOS (i.e. non-Ignition) hosts for our test
suite, so making this more CoreOS specific is fine.
Then use the "standard" COSA_DIR as a way to find the target
cosa dir in the e2e CI.
In RHCOS, we ship kernel development-related packages as an extension.
Those aren't really extensions that are meant to be layered onto the
host. They're meant to be used in a build environment somewhere to
compile kernel modules.
This makes it very different from "OS extensions" in at least two
drastic ways:
1. we don't want to do any depsolving (e.g. we don't want to pull in
`gcc` or something)
2. some of those packages may be present in the base already, but we
still want to redownload them
Hesitated putting this functionality in rpm-ostree, but I think in the
end it cuts from the benefit of moving this code to rpm-ostree if we
can't entirely get rid of the Python script it obsoletes. Plus, being
able to use the `match-base-evr` is still really useful for this use
case.
Let's add a new `kind` key to support this. The traditional extensions
are called "OS extensions" and these new extensions are called
"development extensions".
The latter is not yet part of the state checksum, so change detection
doesn't work there. I think that's fine for now though because the
primary use case is the kernel, and there we want to match the base
version. So if the kernel changes, the base would change too. (Though
there's the corner case of adding a new package to the list while at the
same version...)
This adds support for a new `rpm-ostree compose extensions` command`
which takes a treefile, a new extensions YAML file, and an OSTree repo
and ref. It performs a depsolve and downloads the extensions to a
provided output directory.
This is intended to replace cosa's `download-extensions`:
https://github.com/coreos/coreos-assembler/blob/master/src/download-extensions
The input YAML schema matches the one accepted by that script.
Some differences from the script:
- We have a guaranteed depsolve match and thus can avoid silly issues
we've hit in RHCOS (like downloading the wrong `libprotobuf` for
`usbguard` -- rhbz#1889694).
- We seamlessly re-use the same repos defined in the treefile, whereas
the cosa script uses `reposdir=$dir` which doesn't have the same
semantics (repo enablement is in that case purely based on the
`enabled` flag in those repos, which may be different than what the
rpm-ostree compose ran with).
- We perform more sanity-checks against the requested extensions, such
as whether the extension is already in the base.
- We support no-change detection via a state SHA512 file for better
integration in cosa and pipelines.
- We support a `match-base-evr` key, which forces the extension to have
the same EVR as the one from a base package: this is helpful in the
case of extensions which complement a base package, esp. those which
may not have strong enough reldeps to enforce matching EVRs by
depsolve alone (`kernel-headers` is an example of this).
- We don't try to organize the RPMs into separate directories by
extension because IMO it's not at the right level. Instead, we should
work towards higher-level metadata to represent extensions (see
https://github.com/openshift/os/issues/409 which is related to this).
Closes: #2055
There won't be any support for writing to the bdb backend in f34, so
e.g. pkglayering won't work (and obviously even composes wouldn't work
once the buildroot moves to f34).
Instead of requiring the whole world to add an `rpmdb` key in their
manifests, let's just add a compile flag for it, and tweak the spec file
to use this flag on f34.
Those got moved to GitHub from readthedocs.io, meaning links pointing
to specific pages return a 404, so this fixes that along with
skipping the redirect for the links that just point to the main page.
The design of https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Sqlite_Rpmdb
is problematic for us for multiple reasons. The first big reason
is that rpm-ostree is designed for "cross" builds and e.g. today
we use a Fedora-derived container to build RHEL CoreOS images.
However the default database lives inside the `rpm` package which
means that if we e.g. upgrade the coreos-assembler container to F33
it will suddenly try to use sqlite for RHCOS which is obviously broken.
Related to this, rebases from f32 to f33 w/layered packages
are broken: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1876194#c3
With this we can configure things to continue to use bdb for f33
for ostree-based systems, so that by enforcing an upgrade order
f32 → f33 [bdb] → f34 [sqlite] ... the intermediate f33 w/bdb
still understands sqlite and hence rebases will work.
Start adding some pain if `--unified-core` isn't provided
to help flush out anyone relying on it. (And I think today
pungi is not passing it, so e.g. Fedora IoT/Silverblue are impacted)

Same motivation as
7392259332
I think we should encourage removing the writable bits from
executables. This has happened to me:
https://thomask.sdf.org/blog/2019/11/09/take-care-editing-bash-scripts.html
And not having the writable bit may help prevent hardlink
corruption with OSTree in some cases.
We can't do this by default, but add a convenient treefile option
for it.
This starts out by just doing this for RPMs, but I'll add
a secondary pass which does it during postprocessing soon too.
We are have been pretty inconsistent about this; I think while it's
true the project is called "OSTree", "RPM-OSTree" is just annoying
to type and looks weird. `rpm-ostree` requires much less
"shift key gymnastics".
Also, the "proper name" style like RPM/OSTree is best when
something can be viewed more "abstractly" - there are multiple
RPM implementations (historically) and OSTree also is a *concept*
in addition to an implementation.
rpm-ostree though is much more of a "concrete" thing so it
makes more sense to use it as a "project name".
In Fedora CoreOS, we have a "coreos-pool" repo from which all packages
in lockfiles are tagged for reproducible builds. This repo is shared
across all streams, including those on f31 and f32.
Thus, it makes no sense for composes to ever pick packages unconstrained
from the pool without being guided by a lockfile. Otherwise, one can
easily end up with e.g. f32 packages in an f31 compose.
Add a new `lockfile-repos` for this which is only used for fetching
lockfile packages and nothing else. For example, this will allow
`cosa fetch --update-lockfile` to Just Work as expected by only fetching
new packages from regular yum repos.
We need to be friendlier to people who are transitioning from
"traditional" yum managed systems. This patchset starts to lay
out the groundwork for supporting "intercepting" binaries that
are in the tree.
For backwards compatibility, this feature is disabled by default,
to enable it, one can add `cliwrap: true` to the manifest.
To start with for example, we wrap `/usr/bin/rpm` and cause it
to drop privileges. This way it can't corrupt anything; we're
not just relying on the read-only bind mount. For example nothing
will accidentally get written to `/var/lib/rpm`.
Now a tricky thing with this one is we *do* want it to write if
we're in an unlocked state.
There are various other examples of binaries we want to intercept,
among them:
- `grubby` -> `rpm-ostree kargs`
- `dracut` -> `rpm-ostree initramfs`
- `yum` -> well...we'll talk about that later
In FCOS we have a kola test that basically does `rpm -q python`.
It's...a bit silly to spawn a whole VM for this. Ensuring that
some specific packages don't get included has come up in a few
cases.
I think FCOS/RHCOS at least will want to blacklist `dnf` for example.
And as noted above, FCOS could blacklist `python`.
One major benefit of doing this inside rpm-ostree is that one
gets the full "libsolv error message experience" when dependency
resolution fails, e.g. blacklisting `glibc` I get:
```
Problem 79: conflicting requests
- package coreos-installer-systemd-0.1.2-1.fc31.x86_64 requires coreos-installer = 0.1.2-1.fc31, but none of the providers can be installed
- package coreos-installer-0.1.2-1.fc31.x86_64 requires rtld(GNU_HASH), but none of the providers can be installed
- package glibc-2.30-10.fc31.x86_64 is filtered out by exclude filtering
- package glibc-2.30-7.fc31.x86_64 is filtered out by exclude filtering
- package glibc-2.30-8.fc31.x86_64 is filtered out by exclude filtering
- package glibc-2.30-5.fc31.i686 is filtered out by exclude filtering
- package glibc-2.30-5.fc31.x86_64 is filtered out by exclude filtering
- package glibc-2.30-10.fc31.i686 is filtered out by exclude filtering
```
This allows replacing the `.` in automatic version increments
with whatever one wants (as long as it's a single ASCII character)
right now.
The specific motivation here is for at least RHEL CoreOS to use
`version-suffix: "-"` so that its versions can become valid
semantic versions.

Point at FCOS and not Project Atomic. Add an inline "Why"
section since people will want to know that right away.
(An great thing about Github is the prevalence it gives to `README.md`;
projects should use that as an "elevator pitch")

* treefile: Rework test helper
Have each test clearly hold its tempdir; this way we can have a simple
helper function rather than a struct with an unreferenced parameter.
Also use `utils::write_file`.
Prep for further test work.
* treefile: Add a basic test for includes
Prep for adding an arch include test.
* treefile: Support `arch-include`
A long time ago we added architecture-specific package lists
via e.g. `packages-ppc64le`. Much more recently we added
support for having the `include` key be a list - multiple includes.
By combining these two and supporting architecture-conditional includes,
we've effectively added architecture-conditionals to *all* keys.
Notably we want this for Fedora CoreOS today which is using
`remove-from-packages` on `grub2-tools` which isn't present on
s390x.
* ci: Bump cosa build timeout
Looks like another OpenStack perf regression.
I'm working on having Silverblue inherit from Fedora CoreOS. But
conceptually it also inherits from (parts of) Workstation.
It is just easier if we support multiple inheritance, then I don't
need to think too hard about how to make it a single inheritance chain.

Add support for a new `add-commit-metadata` key in the treefile so that
we can directly specify commit metadata we want to inject from there.
This will be useful in Fedora CoreOS, where we'll have separate
treefiles for each streams, each with stream-specific metadata values
required.

The use case for `ostree-layers` is to support injecting non-RPM
content in a more flexible way than can be done with `add-files`,
and also without dropping all the way to split composes.
This starts with support on the `compose tree` side but down the
line I'd like to make it more convenient to do *client* side too.
For `ostree-override-layers` this is mainly a development thing
for tools like coreos-assembler. Rather than building an RPM
we just `make install DESTDIR` then commit and add to
`ostree-override-layers`.

And this (for now at least) completes the epic journey of the
"where's the kernel"? With this it's found solely in
`/usr/lib/modules/$kver`.
There are a few reasons to do this; most prominent is that
it avoids duplicating the content as the locations may have
different SELinux labels.

I'd like to add a new `boot-location: modules`. In prep
for that, let's remove the legacy `both` which drops into
`/boot`.
The libostree support for handling `/usr/lib/ostree-boot` has
existed for over 4 years:
```

CommitDate: Sun Nov 30 23:14:05 2014 -0500
deploy: Ensure that we can deploy using only /usr/lib/ostree-boot
```
I think we assume now that no one is now making *new* treecomposes and needs
a newer rpm-ostree and that they expect people to be able to use as an
upgrade target from a libostree that predates that.

Now that we support YAML, it's a gotcha/eyesore that some of our options
use underscores rather than dashes. Let's be nice and switch those few
options over, while of course still supporting the previous name.

This adds an optional date field to the prefix
passed by automatic_version_prefix. An example of specifying
the field is as follows:
10.<date:%Y>
And the fields progress like:
10.2018.0
10.2018.1
10.2018.2
10.2019.0
The date format creates a new "current date" string using
valid date directives passed into g_date_time_format().
If there is a problem reading the given date format,
an error is given and the next version is returned as NULL.
If no <date:...> tag is detected in the auto version prefix,
the same behavior as before (appending .1 and incrementing) occurs.
This may be helpful to avoid writing glue code to auto-update
the version if a date string in the commit version is desired.
Otherwise, --add-metadata-string=version= is an alternative for
complete customization.

I'm trying to have a more opinionated model where custom builds

This is for: https://github.com/projectatomic/rpm-ostree/issues/718
But I'm not going to close that issue as this only does the server
side, and I think we should support it client side too.
Since I wrote that issue, we ended up skipping the `dnf_transaction_depsolve()`
API, and hence we don't need to block on a libdnf change. So
this was quite simple.

Rather than silently ignoring it.
In theory...we could write to /usr/lib/systemd instead of `/etc`
but eh...I feel like what we really want to do is make it convenient
to write a preset file from the YAML.
(We could have an `add-files` content that takes values literally
which would be nice in YAML and suck in JSON)
A general thread running through this is that for people making
*derivatives* of a CoreOS-like system, having to create their
own `exampleos-release` package is an annoying hurdle.
Anyways for now we're fixing the bug that we were silently ignoring
it.

The rojig spec is almost entirely rpm-ostree implementation details;
let's not have lots of people fork/duplicate it. Rather add the bits
of rojig to the treefile that people need to define (most notably
the name).
Prep for stabilizing rojig.
I had a few false starts with this PR; managing ownership/lifetimes
across C/Rust is just complicated. I got bit hard by the fact that
the workdir in `--unified-core` is really dfd-relative, and had to
do a dance to propagate the dfd into rust, as well as down into
the rojig builder.
