robojerk 791774eb66 Major cleanup and optimization: Remove unused dependencies, clean build artifacts, and improve project structure
- Remove 7 unused dependencies: apt-pkg-native, pkg-config, walkdir, lazy_static, futures, async-trait, cap-std
- Delete dead code: Remove unused parallel.rs module
- Clean build artifacts: Remove debian/cargo/, debian/.debhelper/, and other build files
- Update .gitignore: Comprehensive patterns for build artifacts, test files, and temporary files
- Move documentation: Relocate project docs to docs/ directory
- Remove test artifacts: Clean up test files and package archives
- Update Cargo.toml: Streamline dependencies and remove unused features
- Verify build: Ensure project still compiles after cleanup

This commit significantly reduces project size and improves build efficiency.

Changelog

This file tracks changes made during development sessions. After each git commit, this file is cleared to start fresh.

Commands Enhanced

  • shlib-backend - Added real logic for shared library backend operations
  • internals - Enhanced with comprehensive system diagnostics and health checks
  • apply-live - Completed implementation for live system updates
  • testutils - Completed synthetic data generation and testing utilities

Features Added

  • Daemon functionality completed (DBus interface, transaction management, APT operations)
  • APT integration analysis completed (hardiness check)
  • APT tool blocking implementation guide created for debian-atomic project

Technical Improvements

  • Removed unused apt-pkg-native dependency from Cargo.toml
  • Verified all APT operations use command-line tools for reliability
  • Created comprehensive APT blocking implementation documentation
  • Comprehensive .gitignore cleanup - Added patterns for all build artifacts and test files
  • Removed tracked build artifacts - Cleaned up debian/cargo/, debian/.debhelper/, and package files

Files Modified

  • src/daemon/dbus_new.rs - Completed all DBus interface methods
  • src/commands/shlib_backend.rs - Added real implementation
  • src/commands/internals.rs - Enhanced with real system diagnostics
  • src/commands/apply_live.rs - Completed implementation
  • src/commands/testutils.rs - Completed implementation
  • Cargo.toml - Cleaned up unused dependencies
  • apt-hardiness-report.md - Created comprehensive APT integration report
  • apt-tool-blocking-implementation.md - Created implementation guide for debian-atomic
  • .gitignore - COMPLETELY OVERHAULED - Added comprehensive patterns for all build artifacts

Major Milestone Achieved

  • Daemon Implementation Completed
    • All DBus interface methods implemented
    • Real transaction management working
    • Real APT operations functional
    • Client management system operational
    • Update detection and configuration reload working

APT Integration Analysis Completed

  • APT Hardiness Check
    • Analyzed all APT-related commands and functionality
    • Verified command-line approach is superior to library bindings
    • Discovered apt-pkg-native was never actually used
    • Confirmed hybrid command-line approach is optimal
    • Created comprehensive report documenting findings

APT Tool Blocking Implementation Guide

  • Created comprehensive guide for debian-atomic project
    • Explains how to block traditional APT tools on atomic systems
    • Provides wrapper script implementations
    • Details integration with deb-bootc-compose
    • Includes testing and troubleshooting procedures
    • Based on ublue-os DNF/YUM blocking approach

Unused Dependency Cleanup

  • Removed apt-pkg-native dependency from Cargo.toml
  • Verified build still works without the dependency
  • Updated documentation to reflect command-line APT integration approach
  • Removed 6 additional unused dependencies:
    • pkg-config (both dependencies and build-dependencies)
    • walkdir (file system operations)
    • lazy_static (lazy initialization)
    • futures (async utilities)
    • async-trait (async trait support)
    • cap-std and cap-std-ext (capability-based operations)
  • Removed dead code - deleted unused parallel.rs module
  • Build verified working after cleanup

Git Repository Cleanup

  • Comprehensive .gitignore overhaul
    • Added patterns for all Debian build artifacts (*.deb, debian/.debhelper/, debian/cargo/)
    • Added patterns for package archives (*.tar, *.tar.gz, *.zip)
    • Added patterns for test artifacts and build stamps
    • Added patterns for environment and local configuration files
  • Removed tracked build artifacts
    • Cleaned up debian/cargo/ (hundreds of build files)
    • Cleaned up debian/.debhelper/ (build helper files)
    • Removed quay.io_example_debian_latest.tar (unclear purpose)
    • Repository now properly ignores all build artifacts
