Lots and lots of preparation led to this moment - when nothing
apparent changes for users! Woo!
But seriously, having the extra dependency is a minor annoyance, and
in the big picture I think the libgsystem idea was wrong - we need to
land things in GLib, and use git submodules for API-unstable or
Linux-specific sharing. For a lot of OSTree, the libgsystem `GFile*`
orientation was also wrong, we really want fd-relative.

We have a better API now, drop use of the internal helper, which also
depended on libgsystem.
This required bumping libglnx to pull in a fix.

OSTree can sometimes print very long lines which lead to many empty
spaces getting printed if the output overflowed the line due to a bug in
libglnx.

We noticed the temp files being left over in ostree when (mistakenly)
trying to create refs with names in use by folders. This fix removes
temp files created by glnx_file_replace_contents_at on failure.

I ended up deciding to move this one into libglnx, seems like
something other libglnx-using software might want to do, even though
xdg-app doesn't right now.
Closes: #282
Approved by: jlebon
To GLnxConsoleRef. There were some subtleties here, for example we
used to reference `GSConsole` inside the progress changed function,
which at first seems like an ABI hazard, because e.g. rpm-ostree or
xdg-app could still be passing a `GSConsole` instance there. Luckily,
it turns out to be compatible to just start calling libglnx here.
Another issue was that due to libglnx's use of the cleanup function,
we needed to ensure we always called `ostree_async_progress_finish()`
*before* the cleanup function was invoked.
Closes: #280
Approved by: giuseppe
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.
The blocking locking API wasn't sufficient for use in the rpm-ostree
daemon; it really wants to know if the lock is held, then continue to
do other things (like service DBus requests), and get notification
when the lock is available.
We also add an async variant that can be called if the lock is not
available.
Implement a higher level "loop until lock is available" method in the
`ostree admin` commandline.
If a system administrator happens to type `ostree admin upgrade`
multiple times, currently that will lead to a potentially corrupted
system.
I originally attempted to do locking *internally* in `libostree`, but
that didn't work out because currently a number of the commands
perform multi-step operations that all need to be serialized. All of
the current code in `ostree admin deploy` is an example.
Therefore, allow callers to perform locking, as most of the higher
level logic is presently implemented there.
At some point, we can revisit having internal locking, but it will be
difficult. A more likely approach would be similar to Java's approach
with concurrency on iterators - a "fail fast" method.
These fsyncs were added for what turned out to be a fairly bogus
reason; I was hitting read errors from extlinux after upgrades and out
of conservatisim tried adding fsync calls, but the *actual* problem
was that extlinux didn't support 64 bit ext4. Now that at least for
Project Atomic hosts we're just targeting grub2, we can drop these
fsync calls and rely on `syncfs()` being both faster and catching any
errors.
I was looking at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=738954
which wants us to ensure we chown() the refs. As part of that,
I did a generic conversion to use `*at()` (which naturally gives
us more low level control so we can call `fchown` etc.
This patch also sneaks in a change to respect the repo's
`disable_fsync` flag - if fsync is not set, then we never
`fdatasync()` (unlike the `g_file_replace_contents()` default. Also
unlike it, if fsync is enabled, we *always* sync even if the file
didn't exist.
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.
