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
## Usage Instructions
1. **Track changes** during development sessions
2. **Copy relevant sections** to git commit messages
3. **Run `./clear-changelog.sh`** after committing to reset for next session
