This has a very basic level of functionality (deltas can be generated,
and applied offline). There is only some stubbed out pull code to
fetch them via HTTP.
But, better to commit this now and improve it from a known starting
point, rather than have it languish in a branch.
First, /var needs to be labeled at least once. We should probably
rearrange things so that /var is only created (and labeled) on the
first deployment, but this patch adds a /var/.ostree-selabeled file
instead.
Second, when doing the /etc merge, we compare the xattrs of the old
/usr/etc versus the current /etc. The problem with that is that the
policy has different labels for /usr/etc on disk than the real /etc.
The correct fix for this is a bit invasive - we have to take the
physical content of the old /usr/etc, but compare the labels as if
they were really in /etc.
Instead for now, just ignore changes to xattrs. If the file
content/mode changes, then we take the new file (including any changed
xattrs).
Bottom line: just doing chcon -t blah_t /etc/foo.conf may be lost on
upgrade (for now).
This will be used by guestmount - it's WAY faster. We only take disks
as a unit, so it's safe. If the process fails halfway through, we
just start over from scratch the next time anyways.
The trees as shipped come with /usr/etc, which should just be labeled
as usr_t. When we do a deployment, we need to relabel the copies of
the files we're making in /etc.
SELinux support is compile and runtime optional.
The intent of this code I'm fairly certain was to use *.gpg from the
trusted.gpg.d, directory. But right now, we're only using
"pubring.gpg" from that directory, which is odd.
Let's fix this to use all keys ending in .gpg, which will also
include pubring.gpg.
Only send _IDLE messages if and only if we state transition the main
thread (from idle -> !idle or !idle -> idle). This ensures that we
don't send IDLE, then get it back, and process that when we're !idle.
This is a redesign (again) of the pull code. It is simpler and
survives 20 minutes of testing in a loop, whereas the old code would
only go from 30 seconds to 2 minutes.
The problem with the old code was that there was a race where we might
determine idle state even when there are content requests in flight
between the metadata thread and the main one.
This code majorly reworks things - there's now only one IDLE message,
sent in a circle from the main thread, through the metadata scanner,
and back to the main one.
Crucially it's only sent when the *main* thread is idle. Previously
we were looking at whether the metadata scanner is idle, but that
doesn't make a lot of sense. First let's make sure the main thread is
idle, then verify that the metadata one is.
This closes the loop because we'll have ensured we get any pending
requests.

The "ordered hash" code was really just for kernel arguments. And it
turns out it needs to be a multihash (for e.g. multiple console=
arguments).
So turn the OstreeOrderedHash into OstreeKernelArgs, and move the bits
to split key=value and such into there.
Now we're not making this public API yet - the public OstreeSysroot
just takes char **kargs. To facilitate code reuse between ostree/ and
libostree/, make it a noinst libtool library. It'll be duplicated in
the binary and library, but that's OK for now. We can investigate
making OstreeKernelArgs public later.

The official way to add bootloader arguments to the current deployment
is to redeploy with --karg. However, doing so tripped up an
optimization made inside the deployment code to just swap the
bootlinks if we're keeping the same "bootcsum".
Change this optimization to look at the pair of (bootcsum, options).
We can't use #ifdef in the headers, since then g-ir-scanner won't pick
up the functions (unless we included config.h). Let's instead always
have the symbols, but just set an error if we were built without
support for it, just like how pull works.
This large patch moves the core xattr logic down into libgsystem,
which allows the gs_shutil_cp_a() API to copy them. In turn, this
allows us to just use that API instead of rolling our own recursive
copy here.
As noted in the new comment though, one case that we are explicitly
regressing is where the new /etc removes a parent directory that's
needed by a modified file. This seems unlikely for most vendors now,
but let's do that as a separate bug.

Previously the progress meter would bump in large chunks after we
completed a download. Instead, poll in progress files via fstat() for
their size, and add those to the running total.
Several APIs in libostree were moved there from the commandline code,
and have hardcoded g_print() for progress and notifications. This
isn't useful for people who want to write PackageKit backends, custom
GUIs and the like.
From what I can tell, there isn't really a winning precedent in GLib
for progress notifications.
PackageKit has the model where the source has GObject properties that
change as async ops execute, which isn't bad...but I'd like something
a bit more general where say you can have multiple outstanding async
ops and sensibly track their state.
So, OstreeAsyncProgress is basically a threadsafe property bag with a
change notification signal.
Use this new API to move the GSConsole usage (i.e. g_print()) out from
libostree/ and into ostree/.
Add a --generate-sizes option to commit to add size information to the
commit metadata. This will be used by higher level code which wants
to determine the total size necessary for downloading.
The gpgme examples use this, but from what I can tell we don't really
need to because we don't need detailed results; we only care whether
we signed it at all.
Adapted from Google protobufs. For several cases, we want to support
e.g. file sizes up to guint64, but paying the cost of 8 bytes for each
number is too high.
This will be used for static deltas and sizes metadata.
If a deployment is somehow in the list twice, the hash table will free
the *new* value with g_hash_table_insert which gets all broken. Just
use g_hash_table_replace().
This commit changes the sysroot API so that one can create arbitrary
new deployment checkouts, then commit them as one step. This is to
enable things like an automatic bisection tool which say create 50
deployments at once, then when done clean them up.
This also moves some printfs from the library into src/ostree.
I plan to rename all of these APIs to use the term 'loose', so that it
makes more sense after pack files are introduced. External users
should not use them; instead use _load_variant() or _read_commit().
