ostree-grub-generator can be used to customize
the generated grub.cfg file. Compile time
decision ostree-grub-generator vs grub2-mkconfig
can be overwritten with the OSTREE_GRUB2_EXEC
envvar - useful for auto tests and OS installers.
Why this alternative approach:
1) The current approach is less flexible than using a
custom 'ostree-grub-generator' script. Each system can
adjust this script for its needs, instead of using the
hardcoded values from ostree-bootloader-grub2.c.
2) Too much overhead on embedded to generate grub.cfg
via /etc/grub.d/ configuration files. It is still
possible to do so, even with this patch applied.
No need to install grub2 package on a target device.
3) The grub2-mkconfig code path has other issues:

The "function foo()" syntax is bash-specific, and Colin indicated in
PR #226 that he prefers to require bash rather than trying to support
every POSIX shell.

This allows other processes (e.g. rpm-ostreed) to monitor for external
changes (e.g. if someone does `ostree admin undeploy`) in a relatively
sane fashion.
Specifically, I'm trying to fix:
https://github.com/projectatomic/rpm-ostree/issues/220
OSTree's code for testing predates the `glib-tap.mk` making its
way into GLib. Let's switch to it, as it provides a number
of advantages.
By far the biggest advantage is that `make check` can start to run
most of the tests *in addition* to having them work installed.
This commit keeps the installed tests working, but `make check` turns
out to be really broken because...our TAP usage has bitrotted to say
the least. Fix that all up.
Do some hacks so that the tests work uninstalled as well - in
particular, `glib-tap.mk` and the bits encoded into
`g_test_build_filename()` assume *recursive* Automake (blah). Work
around that by creating a symlink when installed to loop back.
I'd like to incrementally convert all of `ostree-repo*.c` to
fd-relative usage, so that we can sanely introduce
`ostree_repo_new_at()` which doesn't involve GFile.
This one is medium risk, but passes the test suite.
I noticed in the static deltas tests, there were some tests that
should have been under `-o pipefail` to ensure we properly propagate
errors.
There were a few places where we were referencing undefined variables.
Overall, this is clearly a good idea IMO.
Adds an entry to the origin file to force the OstreeSysrootUpgrader to
pull and deploy the given checksum.
[origin]
override-commit=CHECKSUM
If the option is not given, any such entry is explicitly removed from
the origin file to ensure we upgrade to the latest available commit.
Eliminates the need for constantly passing --sysroot=sysroot, but
also makes ostree place remote configs for sysroot/ostree/repo in
sysroot/etc/ostree/remotes.d where they should have been all along.
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.
Use the pattern:
$PRETTY_NAME [$COMMIT_VERSION] (ostree[:$OSNAME][:$DEPLOYMENT_INDEX])
$OSNAME is only shown if there are multiple values.
$COMMIT_VERSION refers to the version tag in the commit's metadata.
$DEPLOYMENT_INDEX is only shown if no $COMMIT_VERSION is available.

If we deployed a new tree inside an existing OS, inheriting kernel
args, we need to use append() instead of replace() to avoid collapsing
multiply specified kernel arguments like console=/dev/foo
console=/dev/bar.

The test-admin-deploy-1 was copied into -uboot at some point. But
really they should be testing exactly the same thing, except for
the bootloader backend.
Unify these tests by extracting a common test core.
