Starting down the path of not using libgsystem. The main win here
will be code sharing between ostree/rpm-ostree as well as going down
the path of not using GFile * for local files.
See projectatomic/rpm-ostree#42 for rationale. There are two high
level use cases:
- If the OS comes unconfigured, this is a way to point it at a repo of your choice.
- To switch between repositories while keeping the same branch easily.
Some use cases for checkouts don't need to fsync during checkout.
Installer programs for example will just do a global fsync at the end.
In the future, the default "ostree admin" core could also be
rearchitected to only do a transaction commit right before reboot, and
do the fsync then.

In this approach, we drop a /etc/grub.d/15_ostree file which is a
hybrid of shell/C that picks up bits from the GRUB2 library (e.g. the
block device script generation), and then calls into libostree's
GRUB2 code which knows about the BLS entries.
This is admittedly ugly. There exists another approach for GRUB2 to
learn the BLS specification. However, the spec has a few issues:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/anaconda-devel-list/2014-July/msg00002.html
This approach also gives a bit more control to the admin via the
naming of the 15_ostree symlink; they can easily disable it:
Or reorder the ostree entries ahead of 10_linux:
Also, this approach doesn't require patches for grub2, which is an
issue with the pressure to backport (rpm-)OSTree to EL7.
The libostree core uses SYSCONFDIR now, so we should ensure it's used
consistently. Someone else was seeing SYSCONFDIR not being defined
while compiling with a newer automake version, which may process
CPPFLAGS more precisely.
For Fedora and potentially other distributions which use globally
distributed mirrors, metalink is a popular solution to redirect
clients to a dynamic set of mirrors.
In order to make metalink work though, it needs *one* file which can
be checksummed. (Well, potentially we could explode all refs into the
metalink.xml, but that would be a lot more invasive, and a bit weird
as we'd end up checksumming the checksum file).
This commit adds a new command:
$ ostree summary -u
To regenerate the summary file. Can only be run by one process at a
time.
After that's done, the metalink can be generated based on it, and the
client fetch code will parse and load it.

For many OS install scenarios, one runs through an installer which may
come with embedded data, and then the OS is configured post-install to
receive updates.
In this model, it'd be nice to avoid the post-install having to rewrite
the /ostree/repo/config file.
Additionally, it feels weird for admins to interact with "/ostree" -
let's make the system feel more like Unix and have our important
configuration in /etc.

There are going to be a few utilities that are only useful for
installers and disk image creation tools. Let's not expose them all
at the toplevel; instead, hide them under "instutil".
Code like rpm-ostree generates disk images directly. In order to
ensure SELinux labeling is correct, it currently has a helper program
that runs over the deployment root, then over the whole disk and to
only set a label if none exist.
In order to make it easier to write installers such as Anaconda
without having them depend on rpm-ostree (or whatever other
build-server side program), pull in the helper code here.
This has a very basic level of functionality (deltas can be generated,
and applied offline). There is only some stubbed out pull code to
fetch them via HTTP.
But, better to commit this now and improve it from a known starting
point, rather than have it languish in a branch.
The "ordered hash" code was really just for kernel arguments. And it
turns out it needs to be a multihash (for e.g. multiple console=
arguments).
So turn the OstreeOrderedHash into OstreeKernelArgs, and move the bits
to split key=value and such into there.
Now we're not making this public API yet - the public OstreeSysroot
just takes char **kargs. To facilitate code reuse between ostree/ and
libostree/, make it a noinst libtool library. It'll be duplicated in
the binary and library, but that's OK for now. We can investigate
making OstreeKernelArgs public later.

Several APIs in libostree were moved there from the commandline code,
and have hardcoded g_print() for progress and notifications. This
isn't useful for people who want to write PackageKit backends, custom
GUIs and the like.
From what I can tell, there isn't really a winning precedent in GLib
for progress notifications.
PackageKit has the model where the source has GObject properties that
change as async ops execute, which isn't bad...but I'd like something
a bit more general where say you can have multiple outstanding async
ops and sensibly track their state.
So, OstreeAsyncProgress is basically a threadsafe property bag with a
change notification signal.
Use this new API to move the GSConsole usage (i.e. g_print()) out from
libostree/ and into ostree/.
Behave similar to git when 'ostree commit' is run without
a --subject or --body. Bring up an editor. The first line becomes
the subject and following lines become the --body after an optional
blank line.
Use similar logic to git in determining EDITOR

This patch adds support to generate files that
can be used by Universal Bootloader (U-Boot).
U-Boot allows to modify boards default boot commands by
reading and executing a bootscript file or importing a
plain text file that contains environment variables that
could parameterize the boot command or a bootscript.
OSTree generates a uEnv.txt file that contains booting
information that is taken from Boot Loader Specification
snippets files as defined in the new OSTree deployment model:
https://wiki.gnome.org/OSTree/DeploymentModel2
On deploy or upgrade an uEnv.txt env var file is created
in the path /boot/loader.${bootversion}/uEnv.txt. Also, a
/boot/uEnv.txt symbolic link to loader/uEnv.txt is created
so U-Boot can always import the file from a fixed path.
Since U-Boot does not support a menu to list a set of
Operative Systems, the most recent bootloader configuration
from the list is used.
To boot an OSTree using the generated uEnv.txt file, a
board has to parameterize its default boot command using the
following variables defined by OSTree:
${kernel_image}: path to the Linux kernel image
${ramdisk_image}: path to the initial ramdisk image
${bootargs}: parameters passed to the kernel command line
Alternatively, for boards that don't support this scheme,
a bootscript that overrides the default boot command can be used.
An example of such a bootscript could be:
setenv scriptaddr 40008000
setenv kernel_addr 0x40007000
setenv ramdisk_addr 0x42000000
ext2load mmc 0:1 ${scriptaddr} uEnv.txt
env import -t ${scriptaddr} ${filesize}
ext2load mmc 0:1 ${kernel_addr} ${kernel_image}
ext2load mmc 0:1 ${ramdisk_addr} ${ramdisk_image}
bootm ${kernel_addr} ${ramdisk_addr}

We may revive this later, but commits in their current form aren't
very useful for humans to read, so it doesn't make sense to have a
tool to show a history of useless stuff.
More interesting things are diffs between commits, object statistics,
etc.
Otherwise it's really easy to keep accumulating deployments. Also, we
may want to run this after rebooting, so we're back down to one
operating system.
Calling it "cleanup" is better since it does more than repo pruning.
We were also doing a prune twice; ot_admin_cleanup() already does one,
so drop the bits to do it in cleanup.c.
It isn't useful at the moment, since the deploy stuff all changed. It
will make sense to bring back later, but for now let's not carry
broken untested code.
Originally, the idea was that clients would replicate "OS/tree"s from
a build server, but we'd run things like "ldconfig" on the client.
This was to allow adding e.g. the nVidia binary driver.
However, the triggers were the only thing in the system at the moment
that really had expected knowledge of the *contents* of the OS, like
the location of binaries.
For now, it's architecturally cleaner if we move the burden of
triggers to the tree builder (e.g. gnome-ostree or RPM). Eventually
we may want OSTree to assist with this type of thing (perhaps
something like RPM %ghost), but this is the right thing to do now.
See https://wiki.gnome.org/OSTree/DeploymentModel2
This is a major rework of the on-disk filesystem layout, and the boot
process. OSTree now explicitly supports upgrading kernels, and these
upgrades are also atomic.
The core concept of the new model is the "deployment list", which is
an ordered list of bootable operating system trees. The deployment
list is reflected in the bootloader configuration; which has a kernel
argument that tells the initramfs (dracut) which operating system root
to use.
Invidiual notable changes that come along with this:
1) Operating systems should now come with their etc in usr/etc; OSTree
will perform a 3-way merge at deployment time, and place etc in
the actual root. This avoids the need for a bind mount, and is
just a lot cleaner.
2) OSTree no longer bind mounts /root, /home, and /tmp. It is expected
that the the OS/ has these as symbolic links into /var.
At the moment, OSTree only supports managing syslinux; other
bootloader backends will follow.
A simple HTTP server implementation is so few lines of code when one
is linking to libsoup anyways, so let's just have one here in ostree
that will be used for the test suite.
This allows us to run the archive tests that previously required
apache even in gnome-ostree.
In some cases we want the ability to run triggers independently of
checking out a tree. For example, due to kernel limitations which
impact the gnome-ostree build system, we may need to run triggers on
first boot via systemd.
Secondarily, if the user installs a system extension which adds a new
shared library to /usr/lib for example, the system will need to run
the triggers again.
Also, I think I want to take triggers out of the core and put them in
ostree admin anyways.
The real vision of OSTree is to "multiple versions of multiple
operating systems". Up until now, it's worked to install gnome-ostree
inside a host distribution, but several things don't work quite right
if you try to do completely different systems.
In the new model, there's the concept of an "osname" which encompasses
a few properties:
1) Its own /var
2) A set of trees deployed in /ostree/deploy/OSNAME/
3) Its own "current" and "previous" links.
Now it no longer really makes sense to boot with "ostree=current".
Instead, you specify e.g. "ostree=gnome/current".
This is an incompatible change to the deployment code - you will need
to run init-os gnome and redeploy.
All "ostree admin" subcommands now take an OSNAME argument.
Should be used when initializing a new root filesystem for a "pure
OSTree" system; for example, what "ostbuild privhelper-deploy-qemu"
does when creating a filesystem image loopback.
After a while of pull-deploy cycles, you start to accumulate a lot of
them. While the deployment read-only part is hardlinked, the -etc
space adds up.
Additionally, the repository itself just gets large.
The new command "ostree admin prune" deletes everything except the
"current" and "previous" deployments.
They're not a large efficiency win at the moment, because we don't
do any delta compression.
At the moment, they simply served to compress data, but we will change
the archive mode to do that by default.
This will be useful for ostbuild; a user can create their own archive
mode repository which transparently inherits objects from the
root-owned one in /ostree.
This should be useful on clients to trim old refs. For example,
after an upgrade the system could do:
ostree --repo=/ostree/repo prune --depth=2 gnomeos-3.4-i686-runtime
This would remote all objects that aren't in the current build and the
previous one.
I'm trying to keep ostree as being closer to just being the versioning
filesystem, so let's split out the triggers into a different binary
(although still namespaced ostree-).
One thing that made this take significantly longer than it might
have otherwise is that we have to keep PWD "up to date" - otherwise
we hit bugs in glibc's getcwd() implementation.
Since we're making a shared library, it should be usable by non-GPL
apps.
To allow more code sharing between the core and the tests, move them
to the LGPLv2+ too.
A few bits of test and other code are still GPL. See the new COPYING
file for more information.
