[RFC PATCH 0/2] Custom base-files

[RFC PATCH 0/2] Custom base-files

[Vijai Kumar K]

This series introduced 2 patchsets.
P1 though could be a separate patchset, is clubbed with this series
since it is needed for P2.

This series removes the postprocessing logic that modifies /etc/os-release
to inject custom data into it. Instead, proposes a custom base-files
based approach to solve the problem.

The basic issue identified with the post-processing approach is that
the information put onto /etc/os-release will be overwritten by the
one provided by the base-files package on reinstall/upgrade.

For a history of this issue and relevant discussions please see [1]

[1]https://groups.google.com/g/isar-users/c/Jr3bTPumH-w 

This might need some entry in user-manual and/or changelog. Will be
added after further testing and in the final version of the patchset.

[RFC PATCH 1/2] dpkg-base: Handle custom source directory in do_apt_fetch

[Vijai Kumar K]

With the current do_apt_fetch implementation, it is not possible to use
a custom source directory(${S}).

apt-get source by default extracts the contents of the debian source
into folder with name <pkg>_<version>.

Add provision for specifying a custom source directory.

I think this one is indeed worth being discussed seperately.

Could you go into detail why a custom S is required in the first place?
My guess is that we might not know PV and need to wait for that
apt-unpack to finish so we can find it in the changelog.

You removed the && chaining, please try a "false" in there, i guess
that sh might need a -e now

I wonder if we can just symlink debians choice to PPS, or mv, or even
"cp -a"
And make that a new task we call apt_unpack

Exactly. In some cases we might not know PV, we might need to wait
for apt to see what version it is fetching. Change the APT sources and or
preferences and you might get a completely new version of the package.
We cannot effectively know ${S} for manipulating the source code from
the recipe.

Yes. Will add that in v2.

Wondering whether it brings in any added advantage?

> And make that a new task we call apt_unpack

I thought about this too. We could definitely have something like apt_unpack
that makes things clear. When I first started looking around, I didn't
expect the
unpacking to happen in fetch.

Re: [RFC PATCH 1/2] dpkg-base: Handle custom source directory in do_apt_fetch

[Henning Schild]

Sweet, this is what i just placed in a recipe

+## TODO hack, upstream will soon have a patch
+do_rename_to_s() {
+  debs=$( find ${WORKDIR} -type d -iname "${P}*" | head -1 )
+  rm -rf "${S}"
+  cp -a "$debs" "${S}"
+}
+addtask rename_to_s after do_apt_fetch

symlink will not work, since that is mounted into buildchroot

[RFC PATCH 2/2] recipes-core: Add recipe for base-files

[Vijai Kumar K]

/etc/os-release is a symlink to /usr/lib/os-release and belongs to
the base-files package.

ISAR has been modifying the /etc/os-release during postprocessing
to inject custom data onto it.

Since this file belongs to base-files, an update/reinstall of the
package would overwrite the file with the one provided by base-files.

Instead of modifying the contents of /etc/os-release during
post-processing, provide a modified base-files recipe in ISAR which
provides the similar changes in os-release.

To some degree such an update would be right to do so. The BUILD_ID
will for sure be invalidated, other custom fields might still be valid
though.

I am beginning to wonder if we have to write certain bits to other
files. Bits that need to go into /etc/os-release could be appended with
a hook
See isar-disable-apt-cache, or we use the divert that Silvano proposed.

This is in the image for a good reason, it can not be part of a
package, otherwise it would already be and we might not have that evil
postprocess feature.

Try a run, append a package to IMAGE_PREINSTALL, build again

I kind of bet that BUILD_ID will be wrong and not show your new commit
or "dirty"

Just one such package. We will need for for every single image we build
in the tree. There can be multiple, especially when multiconfig comes
into play, but even without.

Think of the internal layer you just helped with for a release, it
builds the product and the debug variant, which differ in their
DESCRIPTION and must not share that package.

I am afraid a package will not work. We would need a package per image.
And that package would need to rebuild every time the BUILD_ID changes.

But now you still have the problem that someone could install a more
recent "base-files" ... Might as well use preferences to pin it
forever, instead of forking it and giving it a number that will
hopefully never be smaller than the one from debian

I have not used hooks before, but looks like it might help in our case.

So basically os-release varies based on the image built. With a single package
like this, it is no longer possible. At anypoint we could have only one version
of the package.

Then, again, it makes me wonder if os-release is an apt place for such
information.
We lose updatability with the other approach. We definitely leave one
file (/etc/os-release or /usr/lib/os-release)
outdated on a dist upgrade.

So far, we did not consider os-release in package-based update scenarios
(likely because all our updates were partition based - which doesn't
mean package-based will not come one day as well). If we include
package-based updates, os-release should be updated by a package as well.

Our os-release modification (ISAR_RELEASE_CMD) is bound to an image. An
image is not a package, but we could make it depend on an image-specific
package carrying or generating that os-release data. That package should
definitely NOT be base-files. We need to divert that file and keep it
under our control. Obviously, if the user decides to do a an upgrade of
the Debian version on the device without pulling a new image version
package, things will really divert - but that is no reasonable use case

In fact, we could make our image-version package depend on the specific
base-files version it diverted from. Then we would still encode the need
to update both in lock-step, but without having to pointlessly recompile
the base-files package.

I am not quite sure if I get all that. We are now talking about a new file 
in a
new package that depends on image recipe and have it diverted? So that
package would not be in the final image. But incase you need to upgrade you 
would
make sure that the package is pulled by making it depend on a specific 
base-files
package. When base-files upgrades the package would be upgraded to?

My suggestion is to not package that, just like we used to. We just put
our stuff in a file via the image postinst. We write a package
to "reserve" that file name against collision, that file will be empty
in the package, but the hook and its script will live there.

Say we had a package isar-base-files that would contain
/etc/isar-release and /etc/apt/...hook.conf -> /usr/bin/merger.sh

merger.sh: trigger on every base-files update
  for key in isar-release and key starts with "OS_":
    if key in os-release:
      update
    else
      append

Now we might write DESCRIPTION to /etc/os-release and isar-release and
BUILD_ID just to os-release ... because the latter is invalidated with
any sort of live update.
And yes you can use that to give Debian another name and that will
survive updates ... because branding is very important!

Thanks for the pointer Henning. I will try this implementation out. I hope

I do not think anyone else is currently working on that. And i hope it
can work like i described. One thing seems pretty certain ... it is a
very bad idea to "brand" debian. Modifications to that file should
probably be kept to an absolute minimum. Additional stuff
should probably go into additional files.

Just to keep that in mind, because the projects you work on seem to
have a strong desire on branding. That should be questioned instead of
implemented. The initial idea to go for /etc/os-release was limited to
two variables and "no updates with apt".

I am not sure why you feel it is a bad idea, there has always been a lot of 
derivatives of Debian. And ISAR as
a tool could provide an example on how to do it. Branding is another 
discussion, and irrespective of that, we
are just trying to find a way to add additional fields to /etc/os-release 
and fix this upgrade issue :) Having custom
base-files was one such approach(had limitations). Since you have an 
entirely new suggestion, I would like to try that out to see
how it becomes a candidate to solve the problem in hand. :)

Exactly what i said earlier. We should use another file. And in case we
want to keep some information really in /etc/os-release we need to
write a hook to merge our bits in every single time apt owns it again.

Thank you Anton, for quickly running this through our CI.  I will try to 
replicate the issue in my local build and will fix it in next version.

This seems to be like a qemu issue.
https://www.mail-archive.com/debian-glibc@lists.debian.org/msg59230.html

We could work around it by setting ISAR_CROSS_COMPILE. But ubuntu 
base-files cross compilation is failing.
That needs to be fixed first. Maybe should raise an issue in ubuntu.

Are we running qemu-user-static from bullseye here already? That is what
we do in kas-isar for a while.

Just now tried in kas. It works as expected. Maybe we might need to update 
ISAR
docs to denote the need for the latest qemu? 

That leaves the cross-building issue.
Raised a bug report in ubuntu for that.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/base-files/+bug/1916714
I will also see if I can send a patch for this. Till then we might need to 
disable
ISAR_CROSS_COMPILE for base-files for ubuntu.

Thanks,
Vijai Kumar K

Nice to see those reports and doc updates coming out (vijai, please
send that doc patch)

But the general approach of this packages seems to be a dead end
