update all existing deployments in place
Example:
$ sudo ostree admin kargs edit-in-place --append-if-missing=rw
See https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/issues/2617
This will not add duplicate key, if there is `TESTARG=VAL1` in the
kernel arguments, `--append-if-missing=TESTARG=VAL2` will be ignored.
I was looking at our `.gir` and noticed we had the cmdprivate bits
because the pattern for excluding headers is `-private.h`, which
didn't match `cmdprivate.h`.
I'm aiming to do some more work on the Rust side around `fsck`
like functionality, and this is a useful primitive. There isn't
a great Rust crate for xattrs, and I think it's better to share this
code.
Recently we have noticed exceedingly long execution times
for multiple invocations of ostree prune. This is a result of
calculating full reachability on each invocation.
The --commit-only flag provides an alternative strategy. It will only
traverse and delete commit objects to avoid the more expensive
reachability calculations. This allows us to chain multiple --commit-only
commands cheaply, and then follow with a more expensive ostree prune
invocation at the end to clean up orphaned meta and content objects.
This is nicer than having the caller parse the commit
object, or indirect via the `OstreeRepoFile*` object of the root.
Will be used in ostree-rs-ext around tar parsing.
This is part of `OstreeCommitModifier`, but I'm not using
that in some of the ostree-ext Rust code.
It just makes more sense as a direct policy API, where it should
have been in the first place. There's already support for
setting a policy object on a commit modifier, so that's all the
old API needs to do now.
We have a bunch of APIs to do GPG verification of a commit,
but that doesn't generalize to signapi. Further, they
require the caller to check the signature status explicitly
which seems like a trap.
This much higher level API works with both GPG and signapi.
The intention is to use this in things that are doing "external
pulls" like the ostree-ext tar import support. There we will
get the commitmeta from the tarball and we want to verify it
at the same time we import the commit.
This function enumerates the trusted GPG keys for a remote and returns
an array of `GVariant`s describing them. This is useful to see which
keys are collected by ostree for a particular remote. The same
information can be gathered with `gpg`. However, since ostree allows
multiple keyring locations, that's only really useful if you have
knowledge of how ostree collects GPG keyrings.
The format of the variants is documented in
`OSTREE_GPG_KEY_GVARIANT_FORMAT`. This format is primarily a copy of
selected fields within `gpgme_key_t` and its subtypes. The fields are
placed within vardicts rather than using a more efficient tuple of
concrete types. This will allow flexibility if more components of
`gpgme_key_t` are desired in the future.
This API is push rather than pull, which makes it much more
suitable to use cases like parsing a tar file from external
code.
Now, we have a large mess in this area internally because
the original file writing code was pull based, but static
deltas hit the same problem of wanting a push API, so I added
this special `OstreeRepoBareContent` just for writing regular
files from a push API.
Eventually...I'd like to deprecate the pull based API,
and rework things so that for regular files the push API
is the default, and then `write_content_object()` would
be split up into archive/bare cases.
In this world the `ostree_repo_write_content()` API would
then need to hackily bridge pull to push and it'd be
less efficient.
Anyways for now due to this bifurcation, this API only
works on non-archive repositories, but that's fine for
now because that's what I want for the `ostree-ext-container`
bits.
Continuation of the addition of `ostree_repo_write_regfile_inline()`.
This will be helpful for ostree-rs-ext and importing from tar, it's
quite inefficient and awkward for small files to end up creating
a whole `GInputStream` and `GFileInfo` and etc. for small files.
When working on ostree-ext and importing from tar, it's
quite inefficient and awkward for small files to end up creating
a whole `GInputStream` and `GFileInfo` and etc. for small files.
Plus the gtk-rs binding API to map from `impl Read` to Gio
https://docs.rs/gio/0.9.1/gio/struct.ReadInputStream.html
requires that the input stream is `Send` but the Rust `tar` API
isn't.
This is only 1/3 of the problem; we also need similar APIs
to directly create a symlink, and to stream large objects via
a push-based API.
If you don't configure with --enable-gtk-doc, these won't be included in
the generated .gitignore. If you later configure with --enable-gtk-doc
in the same checkout, they'll show up as untracked files. Include them
in GITIGNOREFILES to ensure they're always added regardless of configure
options.
Like the top level .gitignore, there's no reason to track this if it's
being generated automatically. It only produces spurious diff changes
that you almost certainly don't want.
It was added for the collections bits, but we made that stable.
It's now just cruft and we're very unlikely to reuse the infrastructure
again.
Motivated by a unit test failure when running from a tarball:

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.
It is useful to be able to trigger this without having to regenerate
the summary. For example, if you are not using summaries, or ar generating
the summaries yourself.
In FCOS and RHCOS, the need to configure software in the initramfs has
come up multiple times. Sometimes, using kernel arguments suffices.
Other times, it really must be a configuration file. Rebuilding the
initramfs on the client-side however is a costly operation. Not only
does it add complexity to the update workflow, it also erodes a lot of
the value obtained from using the baked "blessed" initramfs from the
tree itself.
One elegant way to address this is to allow specifying multiple
initramfses. This is supported by most bootloaders (notably GRUB) and
results in each initrd being overlayed on top of each other.
This patch allows libostree clients to leverage this so that they can
avoid regenerating the initramfs entirely. libostree itself is agnostic
as to what kind and how much data overlay initrds contain. It's up to
the clients to enforce such boundaries.
To implement this, we add a new ostree_sysroot_stage_overlay_initrd
which takes a file descriptor and returns a checksum. Then users can
pass these checksums when calling the deploy APIs via the new array
option `overlay_initrds`. We copy these files into `/boot` and add them
to the BLS as another `initrd` entry.
And make the `override_kernel_argv` one of those options. This is mostly
a mechanical move here, no functional change otherwise.
Prep for adding a new option.
Add a new function `ostree_repo_static_delta_execute_offline_with_signature`
which takes a signature engine to verify the delta before applying it.
The `ostree_repo_static_delta_execute_offline` is just a wrapper to this
new function, passing a NULL signature engine.
When this function is called without signature engine, but with a sign
delta, it will only fails if `sign-verify-deltas` is set to true in repo
core options.
This commits move signature existence check and delta signature
verification to share common parts between existing APIs and the new
function.

This retrieves the signatures and pass the static delta block as an array
of bytes to ostree_sign_data_verify().

This cleans up the verification code; it was weird how
we'd get the list of known names and then try to create
an instance from it (and throw an error if that failed, which
couldn't happen).
Explicitly expose functions for querying the metadata format
and key name used by OstreeSign object:
- ostree_sign_metadata_format
- ostree_sign_metadata_key
This allows to use the same metadata format and key name
by 3-rd party applications using signapi.
