In some ways this is similar to mkosi: we have a argparse.ArgumentParser()
with a bunch of options, and a configparser.ConfigParser() with an
overlapping set of options. Many options are settable in both places, but
not all. In mkosi, we define this in three places (a dataclass, and a
function for argparse, and a function for configparser). Here, we have one
huge list of ConfigItem instances. Each instance specifies the full metadata
for both parsers. Argparse generates a --help string for all the options,
and we also append a config file sample to --help based on the ConfigItem
data:
$ python src/ukify/ukify.py --help|tail -n 25
config file:
[UKI]
Linux = LINUX
Initrd = INITRD…
Cmdline = TEXT|@PATH
OSRelease = TEXT|@PATH
DeviceTree = PATH
Splash = BMP
PCRPKey = KEY
Uname = VERSION
EFIArch = ia32|x64|arm|aa64|riscv64
Stub = STUB
PCRBanks = BANK…
SigningEngine = ENGINE
SecureBootPrivateKey = SB_KEY
SecureBootCertificate = SB_CERT
SignKernel = SIGN_KERNEL
[PCRSignature:NAME]
PCRPrivateKey = PATH
PCRPublicKey = PATH
Phases = PHASE-PATH…
While writing this I needed to check the argument parsing, so I added
a --summary switch. It just pretty-prints the resulting option dictionary:
$ python src/ukify/ukify.py /efi//3a9d668b4db749398a4a5e78a03bffa5/6.2.11-300.fc38.x86_64/linux /efi//3a9d668b4db749398a4a5e78a03bffa5/6.2.11-300.fc38.x86_64/initrd --pcr-private-key=PRIV.key --pcr-public-key=PUB.key --config=man/ukify-example.conf --summary

With --summary, existence of input paths is not checked. I think we'll
want to show them, instead of throwing an error, but in red, similarly to
'bootctl list'.
This also fixes tests which were failing with e.g.
E FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/ARG1'
