|
|
|
|
**Last Updated**: December 19, 2024
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
apt-ostree integrates **APT (Advanced Package Tool)** as the primary package management system for Debian/Ubuntu systems. This integration provides high-level package management capabilities including dependency resolution, repository management, and package installation within the immutable OSTree context.
|
|
|
|
## 🎯 Key Integration Goals
|
|
|
|
### 1. APT in Immutable Context
|
|
- Use APT for package management while maintaining OSTree's immutable filesystem
|
|
- Preserve APT's dependency resolution capabilities
|
|
- Maintain package database consistency across deployments
|
|
|
|
### 2. Performance Optimization
|
|
- Leverage APT's efficient package caching
|
|
- Optimize package download and installation
|
|
- Minimize storage overhead in OSTree layers
|
|
|
|
### 3. Compatibility
|
|
- Maintain compatibility with existing APT workflows
|
|
- Support standard APT repositories and package formats
|
|
- Preserve APT configuration and preferences
|
|
|
|
## 🏗️ Architecture
|
|
|
|
### APT Manager Component
|
|
|
|
The `AptManager` is the core component responsible for APT integration:
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
pub struct AptManager {
|
|
cache: apt::Cache,
|
|
package_lists: Vec<String>,
|
|
download_dir: PathBuf,
|
|
config: AptConfig,
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
pub struct AptConfig {
|
|
sources_list: PathBuf,
|
|
preferences_file: PathBuf,
|
|
trusted_gpg_file: PathBuf,
|
|
cache_dir: PathBuf,
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Integration Points

// Update package lists from configured repositories
|
|
self.cache.update()?;
|
|
|
|
// Store updated lists in OSTree-compatible location
|
|
self.store_package_lists()?;
|
|
|
|
Ok(())
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
pub fn store_package_lists(&self) -> Result<(), Error> {
|
|
// Store package lists in /var/lib/apt/lists
|
|
// This location is preserved across OSTree deployments
|
|
let lists_dir = Path::new("/var/lib/apt/lists");
|
|
// ... implementation

|
|
├── control.tar.gz # Package metadata and scripts
|
|
│ ├── control # Package information
|
|
│ ├── preinst # Pre-installation script
|
|
│ ├── postinst # Post-installation script
|
|
│ ├── prerm # Pre-removal script
|
|
│ └── postrm # Post-removal script
|
|
└── data.tar.gz # Package files
|
|
├── usr/ # User programs and data
|
|
├── etc/ # Configuration files
|
|
├── var/ # Variable data
|
|
└── opt/ # Optional applications
|
|
```

// Extract control.tar.gz
|
|
let control_data = self.extract_control_data(package_path)?;
|
|
|
|
// Parse control file
|
|
let control = self.parse_control_file(&control_data)?;
|
|
|
|
// Extract maintainer scripts
|
|
let scripts = self.extract_maintainer_scripts(&control_data)?;
|
|
|
|
// Analyze package contents
|
|
let contents = self.analyze_package_contents(package_path)?;
|
|
|
|
Ok(PackageMetadata {
|
|
control,
|
|
scripts,
|
|
contents,
|
|
})
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
pub fn parse_control_file(&self, control_data: &[u8]) -> Result<ControlFile, Error> {
|
|
// Parse Debian control file format
|
|
let control_text = String::from_utf8_lossy(control_data);
|
|
|
|
// Extract package information
|
|
let package = self.extract_field(&control_text, "Package")?;
|
|
let version = self.extract_field(&control_text, "Version")?;
|
|
let depends = self.extract_dependencies(&control_text)?;
|
|
let conflicts = self.extract_conflicts(&control_text)?;
|
|
|
|
Ok(ControlFile {
|
|
package,
|
|
version,
|
|
depends,
|

**2. Package Dependency Issues**
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Fix broken dependencies
|
|
apt-get install -f
|
|
|
|
# Check package status
|
|
dpkg -l | grep -i broken
|
|
|
|
# Reconfigure packages
|
|
dpkg --configure -a
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**3. Cache Corruption**
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Clear APT cache
|
|
apt-get clean
|
|
|

### Debug Information
|
|
|
|
**Enable Debug Logging**:
|
|
```rust
|
|
impl AptManager {
|
|
pub fn enable_debug_logging(&self) -> Result<(), Error> {
|
|
let debug_config = "APT::Get::Show-Versions \"true\";\n\
|
|
APT::Get::Show-Upgraded \"true\";\n\
|
|
APT::Get::Show-User-Simulation-Note \"true\";\n";
|
|
|
|
fs::write("/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99debug", debug_config)?;
|
|
|
|
Ok(())
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
