The property of removal overrides dropping out if the package was removed from the base layer felt a bit too magical and hacky. We really should remember that wish and re-apply it if the pkg comes back. This is similar to package layering: requests can become inactive (seems like a better word than "dormant") if the package is already part of the base layer, but they don't really go away. This patch reworks the logic so that removal overrides work the same way. In the status output, we now have both "RemovedBasePackages" and "InactiveBaseRemovals" (which is only printed in verbose mode), similarly to how we have "LayeredPackages" and "InactiveRequests". And similarly, we also print out in the upgrader during a transaction all the inactive base removals. Another cool thing is that we now allow any pattern to be specified at the CLI. E.g. `ex override remove /usr/bin/strace` will resolve to strace. Closes: #836 Approved by: cgwalters |

Tests are divided into three groups:
-
Tests in the
check
directory are non-destructive and uninstalled. Some of the tests require root privileges. Usemake check
to run these. -
The
composecheck
tests currently require uid 0 capabilities - the default in Docker, or you can run them via a user namespace. They are non-destructive, but are installed.To use them, you might do a
make && sudo make install
inside a Docker container.Then invoke
./tests/compose
. Alternatively of course, you can simply run the tests on a host system or in an existing container, without doing a build.Note: This is intentionally not a
Makefile
target because it doesn't require building and doesn't use uninstalled binaries. -
Tests in the
vmcheck
directory are oriented around using Vagrant. Usemake vmcheck
to run them. See alsoHACKING.md
in the top directory.
The common
directory contains files used by multiple
tests. The utils
directory contains helper utilities
required to run the tests.
