I was doing some rpm-ostree work and I wanted to compare two
OSTree commits to see if the kernel has changed. I think
this should be a lot more natural.
Add `ostree commit --bootable` which calls into a new generic
library API `ostree_commit_metadata_for_bootable()` that
discovers the kernel version and injects it as an `ostree.linux`
metadata key. And for extra clarity, add an `ostree.bootable`
key.
It's interesting because the "core" OSTree layer is all about
generic files, but this is adding special APIs around bootable
OSTree commits (as opposed to e.g. flatpak as well as
things like rpm-ostree's pkgcache refs).
Eventually, I'd like to ensure everyone is using this and
hard require this metadata key for the `ostree admin deploy`
flow - mainly to prevent accidents.
Currently if a file path contains a special character such as '\', and
that character is encoded into a file:// URI that is passed to
ostree_repo_pull_with_options(), the percent encoding will remain in the
path passed to g_file_new() (in the case of backslash %5C) and the pull
will then fail with a file not found error. This is an important edge
case to handle because by default on many Linux distributions a
filesystem with no label is mounted at a path based on its UUID, and
this is then passed to systemd-escape by Flatpak (when
--enable-auto-sideloading was used at compile time) to create a symbolic
link such as this which contains backslashes:
$ ls -l /run/flatpak/sideload-repos/
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 mwleeds mwleeds 55 Mar 9 14:21
'automount-run-media-mwleeds-29419e8f\x2dc680\x2d4e95\x2d9a31\x2d2cc907d421cb'
-> /run/media/mwleeds/29419e8f-c680-4e95-9a31-2cc907d421cb
And Flatpak then passes libostree a file:// URI containing that path, to
implement sideloading (pulling content from the USB drive).
This results in an error like:
Error: While pulling app/org.videolan.VLC/x86_64/stable from remote
flathub:
/run/flatpak/sideload-repos/automount-run-media-mwleeds-29419e8f%5Cx2dc680%5Cx2d4e95%5Cx2d9a31%5Cx2d2cc907d421cb/.ostree/repo:

This patch avoids such errors by using g_file_new_for_uri() instead of
g_file_new_for_path(), so that GLib handles the %-decoding for us.

If the `summary_sig_not_modified` branch is taken above, both
`signatures` and `summary` are loaded from the cache. This makes the
`_ostree_repo_load_cache_summary_if_same_sig()` call below redundant (it
checks `signatures` matches the file it was just loaded from, and then
loads `summary` again) — but that call also currently overwrites
`summary` without clearing the old value.
Fix this by only making that call if `signatures` was retrieved, but the
server said the local `summary` cache was invalid.

We have an `allow_noent` boolean that controls this, but
were missing the `(nullable)` annotation, so the Rust bindings
panic when the ref doesn't exist instead of being `Option<GString>`.
The local pull path was erroring on any missing commit, but that
prevents a depth pull where the source repo has truncated history. As in
the remote case, this also tries to pull in a tombstone commit if the
source repo supports it.
Fixes: #2266
When pulling with depth, missing parent commits are ignored. However,
the check was applying to any commit, which means that it would succeed
even if the requested commit was missing. This might happen on a
corrupted remote repo or when using ref data from a stale summary.
To achieve this, the semantics of the `commit_to_depth` hash table is
changed slightly to only ever includes parent commits. This makes it
easy to detect when a parent commit is being referenced (although there
is a minor bug there when multiple refs are being pulled) while keeping
references to commits that need their `commitpartial` files cleaned up.
It also means that the table is only populated on depth pulls, which
saves some memory and processing in the common depth=0 case.
Fixes: #2265
The recent change in https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-config/pull/659
broke some of our tests that do `mount -o remount,rw /sysroot` but
leave `/boot` read-only.
We had code for having `/boot` read-only before `/sysroot` but
in practice we had a file descriptor for `/sysroot` that we opened
before the remount that would happen later on.
Clean things up here so that in the library, we also remount
`/boot` at the same time we remount `/sysroot` if either are readonly.
Delete the legacy code for remounting `/boot` rw if we're not in
a mount namespace. I am fairly confident most users are either
using the `ostree` CLI, or they're using the mount namespace.
Just like we hold a fd for `/sysroot`, also do so for `/boot`
instead of opening and closing it in a few places.
This is a preparatory cleanup for further work.
I was being very conservative initially here, but I think it's
really safe to just unconditionally set up the mount namespace.
This avoids having to check twice for a read-only `/sysroot`
(once in the binary and once in the library).
In some cases such as backups or mirroring you may want to pull commits
from one repo to another even if there commits that have incorrect
bindings. Fixing the commits in the source repository to have correct
bindings may not be feasible, so provide a pull option to disable
verification.
For Endless we have several repositories that predate collection IDs and
ref bindings. Later these repositories gained collection IDs to support
the features they provide and ref bindings as the ostree tooling was
upgraded. These repositories contain released commits that were valid to
the clients they were targeting at the time. Correcting the bindings is
not really an option as it would mean invalidating the repository
history.
The cache shouldn't be affected by the user passing in some other
summary as it may not be the "official one".
I ran into this in flatpak where the passed summary was correct, but
the re-saving of the cache updated the mtime of the cached file which
led to later http If-Modified-Since calls failing to update.
As detailed in
gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/600#note_877282, volatile
isn't actually needed in these contexts because the atomic operations
already give us strong enough guarantees. In GCC 11, this triggers a
diagnostic due to the volatile qualifier getting dropped anyway.
There is a WIP to do the same in glib:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/merge_requests/1719
This obsoletes this downstream patch:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/ostree/c/b8c5a6fb
I got:
src/libostree/ostree-repo.c:5232: Warning: OSTree: ostree_repo_gpg_sign_data: unknown parameter 'out_signature' in documentation comment, should be 'out_signatures'
The timeout timer should always be one-shot, so let's just always
destroy it in the callback. The main context has its own ref on it, so
it won't be freed behind its back.
This *should* fix a leak that was brought up in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1891761.

...with the `sysroot.bootloader` configuration option. This can be useful
when converting a system to use `ostree` which doesn't currently have a
bootloader configuration that `ostree` can automatically detect, and is
also useful in combination with the `--sysroot` option when provisioning a
rootfs for systems other than the one you're running `ostree admin deploy`
on.
It's easier to extend and it centralises the config parsing. In other
places we will no longer need to use `g_str_equal` to match these values,
a `switch` statement will be sufficient.
If we have a commit id for all the refs we're pulling, and if we
don't need the summary to list all the refs when mirroring then the
only reason to download the summary is for the list of deltas.
With the new "indexed-deltas" property in the config file (and mirrored
to the summary file) we can detect when we don't need the summary for
deltas and completely avoid downloading it then.
