This is intended to be used for copying `/usr/etc` → `/etc` for
deployments.
A TODO here is to use `glnx_file_copy_at()` if the repo mode allows
it - then we'd use reflinks if available.

Logic error introduced after refactoring; we hoisted the
`is_bare_user_symlink` variable to the top, but its computation
below. But the `is_bare` symlink depended on it.

Previously we'd assert and dump core if one used `checkout -H` without
`-U` on a bare-user repo, because we'd hit the bare-user symlink case.
Rework the code to handle this, and add tests. I hit this when I was going to
suggest to someone to use `-H` to ensure they were getting hardlinks.

This is somewhat complicated by such repos only properly supporting
some subset of file metadata (uid/gid 0, etc). We fix this by
always commiting with filters that make it work.

There are a lot of things suboptimal about this approach, but
on the other hand we need to get our CI back up and running.
The basic approach is to - in the test suite, detect if we're on overlayfs. If
so, set a flag in the repo, which gets picked up by a few strategic places in
the core to turn on "ignore xattrs".
I also had to add a variant of this for the sysroot work.
The core problem here is while overlayfs will let us read and
see the SELinux labels, it won't let us write them.
Down the line, we should improve this so that we can selectively ignore e.g.
`security.*` attributes but not `user.*` say.

We had a lot of copies of the "echo something 1>&2; exit 1" code even though
`assert_not_reached()` was it. Hence, I think we need a shorter alias for that.
Doing this particularly since I noticed a missing `1` in an `exit 1` call in the
rpm-ostree copy of this.

You'd expect
ostree commit --tree=ref=A --tree=ref=B
to produce a commit with the union of the trees given. Instead you'd get
a commit with the contents of just the latter commit. This was due to an
optimisation where we'd skip filling out the `files` and `subdirs`
members of the mtree, just filling in the metadata instead. This backfires
becuase this same code relies on checking the `files` and `subdirs` members
itself to work out whether the mtree is empty.
This commit removes the optimisation, fixing the bug. Maybe there's a way
to keep the optimisation and still fix the bug but it's not obvious to
me.

When doing commit --tree=ref=XXX while at the same time applying some
form of modifier, ostree dies trying to read the xattrs using the
raw syscalls. We fix this by falling back to ostree_repo_file_get_xattrs()
in this case.
Also adds a testcase for this.

Quoting Dan Nicholson in
<https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/pull/330#issuecomment-245499099>
mtime of 0 has been the semantics of ostree deployments from basically
the beginning of the project. We (and others, see
flatpak/flatpak@b5204c9) rely on that fact when generating trees.
In particular, this affects caches that use the mtime of the
associated file or directory to determine if the cache is valid. By
arbitrarily changing the mtime of the files to something else, all
the caches we setup in the build are now invalidated. Preseeding
caches is really important to the user experience as it avoids
having the user wait while they're regenerated on first run.
Now, we could change our build infrastructure to preset all the
mtimes to 1 to match this change, but what does that do for our
existing users who are on an ostree that deploys with mtimes of 0?
We could just revert this change at Endless (and the associated one
in Flatpak), and that would be fine for our users. However, if we
point non-Endless users to our apps, they'll have the great
experience of waiting 10 seconds the first time they launch it while
the fontconfig cache is rebuilt unnecessarily.

ostree's naming convention for whiteouts is similar to what is
done in aufs, which means we can't compose the trees to test this
feature under Docker with the aufs storage driver, as used on
travis-ci.

In general we want to support "idempotentcy" or "state
synchronization" across interruption. If a repo is only partially
created due to a crash or whatever, it's hard for a user to know that.
Let's just make `ostree_repo_create()` idempotent. Since all we're
doing is a set of `mkdirat()` invocations, it's quite simple.
This also involved porting to fd-relative, which IMO makes the
code a lot clearer.

I find the "-z2" is really a long ago relic of the past when I changed
the format. We no longer have anything to do with the original
`archive`, so let's start allowing people to type `--mode=archive`
which just looks saner.
At some point later I'll update the docs too, but it'll be an annoying
transition period as we'll have to say "On older OSTree, use -z2" etc.

1 is a better choice than 0 because some programs use 0
as a special value; for example, GNU Tar warns of an

In practice, a lot of subjects are empty, because the commit date
and branch are sufficient identification. For example, rpm-ostree
does not use subjects. It also doesn't use the command-line ostree
commit tool, so this was not a problem there, but this makes the
behavior consistent.
Also adds a test that empty subjects and omitting the subject
are equivalent. The --timestamp is so that the commits do not
have different timestamps.

It's very useful for third-party applications to have someplace to store
their data guaranteed to be on the same device as the repo (thus
ensuring hardlinks) while still being shielded away from any of OSTree's
timely garbage collections.
We create a new "extensions/" subdirectory where apps can include
whatever they wish in "extensions/myapp/". This subdirectory is
completely unmanaged by ostree.
NB: I didn't bother making it a member of the OstreeRepo proper since we
don't really use it for anything else yet.

Setting this causes commit to error out. There are other ways we
could do this in a more sophisticated fashion, such as via SystemTap
etc. But this has low-tech applicablity, works as non-root.
The reason I'm adding this is so that we can add test cases for
cleanup of the `tmp/staging-` directory.

The API supports this, and it's not hard for us to do in the command
line as well. One possible use case is separating "content

When I'm doing local development builds, it's quite common for me not
to want to accumulate history. There are also use cases for this on
build servers as well.
In particular, using this, one could write a build system that didn't
necessarily need to have access to (a copy of) the OSTree repository.
Instead, the build system would determine the last commit ID on the
branch, and pass that to a worker node, then sync the generated
content back.
The API supported generating custom commits that don't necessarily
reference the previous commit on the same branch, let's just expose
this in the command line for convenience.
I plan to also support this rpm-ostree.

%Z only uses seconds, so it's possible that we did the commit
in the same second, which made this test racy.
- Switch to full nanosecond precision using '%.Y' so it always differs
- Fix the inverted `cmp` usage
- Add a missing `ok`
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 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.
External daemons like rpm-ostree want push notification any time a
change is made by an external entity. inotify provides notification,
but a problem is there's no easy way to monitor all of the refs.
In the past, there has been discussion of opt-in recursive timestamps:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/4/5/307
But in today's world, let's just bump the mtime on the repo itself, as
a central inotify point.
Closes: https://github.com/GNOME/ostree/pull/111
When I removed the `transaction` symlink, that made this test start
failing. Fix it by doing `chmod` on `repo/objects`, which is what the
core `ostree_repo_is_writable()` looks at.
rpm-ostree currently uses ostree_repo_checkout_tree(), which as a side
effect will use the uncompressed objects cache by default. This is
rather annoying if you're using rpm-ostree on a server-side
repository, because if you then rsync the repo, you'll be syncing out
the uncompressed objects unless you exclude them.
We added the ability to disable the uncompressed cache in the
repository config to fix this, but it's better to allow application
control over this. The uncompressed cache will in some future version
become opt in as well.
This new API further:
- Drops the `GFile` usage in favor of `openat` APIs
- Improves ergonomics by avoiding callers having to query the source
`GFileInfo` (and carry around a copy of `OSTREE_GIO_FAST_QUERYINFO`)
- Has a more extensible options structure
Per the comment, I rather crudely have the `ostree checkout` builtin
call both APIs to ensure some testing coverage.
However, I'd like to in the future have easier-to-set-up testing code
that calls `libtest.sh` to set up dummy data.
We already set all file mtimes to 0 so that they are constant
over all checkouts, and can be made constant with a known value from
the system where the ostree was created.
However, this was not happening for directories. Zero their mtimes too.
This is important for shipping a fontconfig cache in the ostree;
the fontconfig cache files embed a directory mtime.
