support/tests: enhance the runtime systemd tests

2018-03-04T20:10:23+00:00

Recent systemd bump has broken DBus dameon and DBus applications can no longer find the daemon. So we want to catch those kind of failures early. We also want to check that the system as a whole is stable: no unit should be failed. Finally, ensure that we can read the jounrnal, even when we are doing our tricks on read-only systems.

package/skeleton-systemd: invert factory logic

2018-03-04T19:35:30+00:00

Currently, we handle the factory by redirectoring /var with a symlink at build time, and with some trickery during the filesystem generation, depending on whether we need to remount the filesystem read-write or not. However, this is causing quite some pain with the latest systemd, now that they have moved their dbus socket to /run instead of /var/run. As such, trying to play tricks with /var/run as a symlink is difficult, because at times it is in .usr/share/factory/var/run (during build) and then it is in /var/run (at runtime). So a relative symlink is not possible. But an absolute symlink is not possible either, because we are installing out-of-tree. Oh the joys of cross-compilation... :-) We fix all this mess by making /var a real directory from the onset, so that we can use the runtime-expected layout even during the build. Then, during filesystem generation, we move /var away to the factory, and populate it as we used to do. This still requires a post-fs hook to restore /var after the filesystem generation. This leaves a situation that, should the filesystem generation fails, /var will be left in an inconsistent state. But that is not worse than what we already had anyway. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

package/skeleton-init-systemd: work around for /var/lib not populating

2018-03-04T19:34:10+00:00

When using a RO root with systemd, it is intended that /var/lib should be populated at boot time by tmpfiles system mirroring it from /usr/share/factory/var/lib. However, this will only happen if /var/lib does not already exist at the time systemd-tmpfiles runs. If it does exist, then tmpfiles will (silently) skip it and do nothing. It turns out /var/lib will exist, because some part of systemd creates /var/lib/systemd/catalog on boot before tmpfiles runs. The fix used here is to also create tmpfiles entries for the contents of /var/lib/* and /var/lib/systemd/*. This way, when those directories already exist, the entire tree is not skipped and instead the not-yet-existing contents of /var/lib and /var/lib/systemd will be still be mirrored from the factory dir. And if /var/lib/systemd, or a prefix of that, stops getting created and does not exist, it'll still mirror properly. It does cause some warnings from systemd: systemd[1]: Starting Create Volatile Files and Directories... systemd-tmpfiles[148]: [/etc/tmpfiles.d/var-factory.conf:7] Duplicate line for path "/var/lib/systemd", ignoring. systemd-tmpfiles[148]: [/etc/tmpfiles.d/var-factory.conf:8] Duplicate line for path "/var/lib/systemd/coredump", ignoring. But they can be ignored. IMHO, I think a better solution would be for systemd-tmpfiles to gain a "merge tree" operation that is like "C" but doesn't abort if the destination exists, but rather merges the source into it.

package/systemd: needs any UTF-8 locale

2018-03-04T10:59:16+00:00

Not all distributions have the language-agnostic C.UTF-8 locale (Gentoo, I'm frowning at you!). Instead, use any UTF-8 locale provided by the system.

core: find a host UTF-8 locale

2018-03-04T10:59:03+00:00

Some packages really want to use an UTF-8 locale, or they break. However, there is no guarantee that any given locale is available on a system. For example,, while most mainstream distros (Debian and derivatives, Fedora...) do have the generic, language-agnostic C.UTF-8 locale, Gentoo does not provide it. So, find the first UTF-8 locale available on the system, and take any that is available. We however do favour using the user-set current locale, then using the language-agnostic C.UTF-8, and eventually any random UTF-8 locale. Note: we only need to enforce LC_ALL, because setting it implies everything else: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1_chap08.html#tag_08_02 """ 1. If the LC_ALL environment variable is defined and is not null, the value of LC_ALL shall be used. """ [Peter: use same regexp as in dependencies.sh] Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

support/dependencies: unbreak check for UTF-8 locale

2018-03-04T10:46:48+00:00

Although the UTF-8 locales in mainstream distributions all are suffixed with just 'utf8', the nomenclature is a bit ambiguous with the way they are to be specified with the various LC_* variables, suffixed there with 'UTF-8'. Also, POSIX, ISO, and IEC do not enforce any specific suffix in LC_* variables: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1_chap08.html#tag_08_02 """ If the locale value has the form: language[_territory][.codeset] it refers to an implementation-provided locale, where settings of language, territory, and codeset are implementation-defined. """ To avoid any confusion, use a regexp that is a bit more lax when matching locales. Also, quote the regexp, so that the '?' and '$' are not interpreted by the shell. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.
