It's common for a pre-install script to do something like
addgroup -S group 2>/dev/null
When apk installs files after this, it sets the owner/group based on id cache
but currently the id cache is stale and doesn't contain the new group at that
point: instead the file will be installed with gid that the build host
happened to have for that group -- on target this might mean a non-existing
group or a completely different group.
We can't know if the script really did modify id cache contents so make sure
to reset the id cache on every script execution.
By introducing a new package metadata field, `provider_priority`
(index letter `k`), we can specify default packages to satisfy a
virtual.
If a user wishes to select an alternative provider for the virtual,
a changeset swapping the default provider for the selected provider
will be generated by the dependency resolver.
This is useful for requirements such as: python3=~3.6, which would match python3-3.6.[0-9].
This implementation should in theory be backwards compatible with the implementation in Adelie.
This allows for instance integration of etckeeper
[TT: Reorganized code a bit, and modified to use single
directory commit_hooks.d with argument for script of stage.]
It is unreasonable to assume that all package writers would except
to reset umask themselves. It's done currently in most packages,
but we had first issue of this kind recently, so better just reset
umask.
- self-conflicts when the exact same version of a name is provided
twice is now properly detected and diagnozed
- don't print redundant satisfies diagnostic
So same package it is possible to not match same package multiple
times. Use generation count, so this is handled cleanly during
recursion, like in the use case of search applet.
Instead of the dependency oriented logic, switch to print them
for each package or name needed. Might give a bit more readable
errors now. There's still few corner cases that proper error is
not output, which are cought by the test cases.
fixes#1476
Instead of:
ERROR: Index generation failed: Success
The following is now printed:
ERROR: Metadata for package timo-1.0-r0 is too long.
ERROR: Index generation failed: No buffer space available
Solver will now never report partial solution where a conflict
constraint is not satisfied. The is because with --force we might
install the partial solution; and if conflicted packages were to
be installed we might have extra trouble.
* solver internally calculates now using tags; not repository masks
* installeddb now contains the tag name where the package came from
-> we can now handle upgrades properly
* the pinning is still a preference, and not strictly enforced;
versioned dependencies may overrule preference
Improves /etc/apk/repositories format so you can say:
http://nl.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v2.3/main
@edge http://nl.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/main
@testing http://nl.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing
After which you can pin dependencies to these tags using:
apk add stableapp newapp@edge bleedingapp@testing
Apk will now by default only use the untagged repositories,
but adding a tag to specific dependency:
1. will prefer that tag for the name
2. allowing pulling in dependencies from that tag (though,
it prefers untagged packages to satisfy deps if possible)
fixes#575
If two packages replace each other, the one with highes priority
will keep the file. Additionally, if we have a package overriding
another's file it's remembered and handled properly. This is
essentially to allow "policy packages" which just overwrite certain
(configuration) files from other package(s).
"replaces" is now turned to a full dependency type list, so you can
make package overwrite files only certain versions of the package
(though, we should probably take this into account already at solution
calculation phase).
Also make 'info --replaces' print the "replaces" of the package.
This is in preparation for the policy package support, which still
requires "replacement priority" field to decide which packages' files
get the preference.
Make indexer keep noise about errors that prevent index generation.
Detect certain errors in the APKs better. And also have the applet
return error in these scenarios.
