Colin Walters 8726be65e3 core: Finish implementing `override replace ./kernel*.x86_64.rpm
Previously we merged: #1228 AKA 12dc565b00
My recollection is that was working on it the background, while doing
something else, and I clearly didn't get to the point of testing it "for real".

There are many interlocking issues here to make this work.  For example,
the "remove RPM" logic needs special handling for the kernel, because
we also inject content into `/usr/lib/ostree-boot` and also generate
the initramfs, etc.

The architecture I chose is to have the core *detect* when a kernel
is changed, and also call into the kernel processing code when removing
a kernel package.  But the logic for doing kernel reinstallation client-side
is best alongside the initramfs generation logic which already existed
in the sysroot upgrader.

I extended the test suite to cover what was failing before, and I
tested this interactively.  But I'm uncertain about adding a test
for actually *booting* into the GA kernel as it's quite possible
some bits in userspace rely on a newer kernel.  Fixing this properly
really wants some infrastructure to better "re-version" an existing
package without changing its content.

Tests are divided into three groups:

  • Tests in the check directory are non-destructive and uninstalled. Some of the tests require root privileges. Use make 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. Use make vmcheck to run them. See also HACKING.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.
