Occurences file shows where the package name shows up in the
repository. It tries to be smart, so that checking for sys-devel/gcc
will not be showing sys-devel/gcc-config. But the smart check was
flawed as it ignored the forms like sys-devel/gcc-${PV}. Noticed when
trying to check occurences for sys-libs/libsepol and there were not
enough occurences shown.
Two warnings, SC2034 and SC2178, pop up very often with the references
- shellcheck handles them poorly and produces a ton of bogus warnings
about them. Silence the warnings and drop most of the "shellcheck
disable" clauses.
That way shellcheck sources some prepared files and learns about some
variables the sourced files define. Thanks to that, we can remove some
of the "shellcheck disable" clauses.
Reports generation used to be executed four times. The number of runs
was a result of cartesian product of two sets - old and new state, and
of amd64 and arm64 architectures. It was pretty much a slow process
because egencache was called implicitly four times, and it was running
in a single-threaded fashion, and also SDK reports were duplicated
(they were the same for old-amd64 and old-arm64, and the same for
new-amd64 and new-arm64 runs).
This changes the generation, so it is being run only two times - once
for old state and once for new state. Every run generates SDK packages
reports and per-architecture board packages reports. Egencache will
now utilize more threads too.
There used to be a possibility to override used SDK image per
architecture, but the need for it disappeared once SDK images started
to contain the initial form of board rootfs for both amd64 and
arm64. This eliminated problems with cyclic dependencies errors
popping up while gather the package reports. So with this change it is
now only possible to specify just one SDK image to use for any
arch. This feature is not used all that often anyway.
This adds an explicit generation of md5-metadata cache before any we
do any emerge invocations. That way we can have a copy of reports even
if emerge fails for some reason. But mostly the reason for this
copying is to consume the data later, outside the SDK container.
Declaring structs differs a bit from declaring typical variables in
that it takes one initializer and applies it to all the declared
variables.
Will be used a lot by upcoming libraries.
Some upcoming libraries will use this for their global variables. The
function is using a single counter, which ensures that the generated
names will be globally unique.
These tools I found useful when I had to investigate why report
generation failed. Since report generation failed, I had no reports
about ebuild diffs or package occurences. The new scripts,
`diff_pkg.sh` and `occurences.sh`, allowed me to get these reports for
the troublesome package.
The coreos-devel/sdk-depends is a metapackage that is emerged in
stage4 of the catalyst SDK build. But the fsscript that is being run
at the end of the stage4 build also pulls in dev-lang/rust package.
Thus pull both packages for the report.
This should result in updated dev-lang/rust to appear in the reports.
eclass is a file, as opposed to the package, which is a directory. So
doing `git -C eclass/foo.eclass log -- .` will fail because we can't
do "cd eclass/foo.eclass", which is what `-C` is trying to do.
The eclass was removed from Gentoo, so we followed suit. This broke
the pkg-auto code. Thus I imported the eclass into the impl directory
as gentoo_ver.sh, threw away all the unnecessary parts and moved some
from pkg_auto_lib.sh to the new file.
This allowed me to also drop a hack where I was grepping for the
version regexp in the eclass. Now I'm just exporting it.
This adds some scripts I have been using for over a year to deal with
the weekly package updates.
It comes with a `README.md` which describes a workflow similar to my
own.
The `sync_packages.sh` and `update_packages.sh` scripts are currently
not used anywhere. The idea behind them was to use them for Github
Action, but that will come as a follow-up PR.
