Like done in c7113f6b3c,
sometimes we want to create mkosi.local.conf in a sub-mkosi directory,
e.g. mkosi.tools.conf.d/mkosi.local.conf, and of course we should not
take these files into git repository.
Let's only keep instructions for stuff that we've seen the AI
mess up in practice rather than having a bunch of AI generated
text that it can figure out for itself these days (given it was
trained on systemd's source code in the first place).
Also add a rule to use git worktrees and check out PRs locally when
reviewing them, since I've seen it mess that up in practice.
Aider is an open-source AI coding assistant. When used, it generates history,
cache, and other files in the project. To prevent these files from being committed, you need to add .aider* to your .gitignore file
Now that mkosi can automatically pick up its main configuration from
a mkosi/ subdirectory if it exists and there is no configuration in the
top level directory, let's make use of it to reduce the amount of clutter
in the top level directory of the repository.
This will also make it easier to install the mkosi configuration files as
part of the testing packages later on.
This directory is commonly used for virtual Python environments.
These are useful when developing to install different Python versions
as well as install tooling like mkosi and mypy in an isolated fashion
without influencing the global system.
- Use mkosi.images/ instead of mkosi.presets/
- Use the .chroot suffix to run scripts in the image
- Use BuildSources= match for the kernel build
- Move 10-systemd.conf to mkosi.conf and rely on mkosi.local.conf
for local configuration
- Drop Netdev= as it was removed in mkosi
- Always install python-psutil in the final image (required for networkd tests)
- Always Install python-pytest in the final image (required for ukify tests)
- Use the narrow glob for all centos python packages
- Drop the networkd mkosi config files (the default image can be used instead)
- Use ".conf" as the mkosi config file suffix everywhere
- Copy src/ to /root/src in the final image and set gdb substitute path in
.gdbinit to make gdb work properly
The pattern was added in 6242cda99d, with the
idea that users will have local configuration files for mkosi and git should
not bother them about those. But let's make this narrower, and only match
files with "local". This way we reduce the risk that some unrelated file
will be ignored by accident.
.gitignore in the parent directory is used, because mkosi apparently tries
to load all files under mkosi.default.d/, without looking at the extension.
This is probably something to fix in mkosi too.
Defaulting to fedora makes it a pain to override mkosi.default
point to one of the other mkosi settings files. Instead, have
every developer manually add the symlink to his distro
of choice and don't commit the symlink to the repository by
putting it in the .gitignore.
We parse the string supplied in NTP_SERVERS during configuration under an
assert_se(). Right now we will accept pretty much anything there, but in case
we are more picky in the future, add a simple test which checks that we can
actually parse whatever is in NTP_SERVERS so that we don't fail the assertion
at runtime.
This test is mostly a compilation test that checks that various defines in
sd-bus-vtable.h are valid C++. The code is executed, but the results are not
checked (apart from sd-bus functions not returning an error). test-bus-objects
contains pretty extensive tests for this functionality.
The C++ version is only added to meson, since it's simpler there.
Because of the .cc extension, meson will compile the executable with c++.
This test is necessary to properly check the macros in sd-bus-vtable.h. Just
running the headers through g++ is not enough, because the macros are not
exercised.
Follow-up for #5941.
Now that meson builds require a separate build dir, everybody's bound to have
at least one. So let's accept the convention that build*/ is for builds, and
apply a blanket ignore rule, we shouldn't have any important files named build*
in the main directory.
Why the strange name: the prefix is necessary to follow our own advice that
environment generators should have numerical prefixes. I also put -d- in the
name because otherwise the name was very easy to mistake with
systemd.environment-generator. This additional letter clarifies that this
on special generator that supports environment.d files.
Only one test case is added, but it is enough to check basic sanity of the
code (single-line and binary fields and trusted fields, allocation and freeing).
This adds a generator and a small service that will look for "roothash="
on the kernel command line and use it for setting up a very partition
for the root device.
This provides similar functionality to nspawn's existing --roothash=
switch.
This adds support for a new kernel command line option "systemd.volatile=" that
provides the same functionality that systemd-nspawn's --volatile= switch
provides, but for host systems (i.e. systems booting with a kernel).
It takes the same parameter and has the same effect.
In order to implement systemd.volatile=yes a new service
systemd-volatile-root.service is introduced that only runs in the initrd and
rearranges the root directory as needed to become a tmpfs instance. Note that
systemd.volatile=state is implemented different: it simply generates a
var.mount unit file that is part of the normal boot and has no effect on the
initrd execution.
The way this is implemented ensures that other explicit configuration for /var
can always override the effect of these options. Specifically, the var.mount
unit is generated in the "late" generator directory, so that it only is in
effect if nothing else overrides it.
