Now that metadata is stored and can be accessed via `Object.meta`,
read it from the built or stored objects when serializing the
result in the `format.output` functions.
Extract the piece of code that gathers the metadata from the
result struct into its own (nested) method. It is easier to
read but also prepares for a future change where we read the
metadata from the store instead of the result dict.
Use the new `Index.detect_runner` method that will give us the best
available runner for a requested one. To do so a new `pipeline.Runner`
class is introduced that stores the `meta.RunnerInfo` class for the
specific runner and the original name that was requested.
In the manifest loading and describing functions of the formats, use
`Index.detect_runner` to get the `RunnerInfo` for a requested runner
and then wrap it in a `pipeline.Runner` object, which is then passed
to the `Manifest.add_pipeline` method.
See also commit "meta: ability to auto-detect runner".
Adjust all test.
Instead of serializing the `BuildResult` to a dict in `build_stages`,
we keep the object and then only serialize it in the corresponding
formatting code. This doubles down on the separation between the
internal data structures and the external representation of them. It
was partially already done in the v2 format which hand-picked which
elements of the BuildResult it would return for each stage.
This extends the possible ways of passing references to inputs. The
current ways possible are:
1) "plain references", an array of strings:
["ref1", "ref2", ...]
2) "object references", a mapping of keys to objects:
{"ref1": { <options> }, "ref2": { <options> }, ...}
This patch adds a new way:
3) "array of object references":
[{"id": "ref1", "options": { ... }}, {"id": ... }, ]
While osbuild promises to preserves the order for "object references"
not all JSON serialization libraries preserve the order since the
JSON specification does leave this up to the implementation.
The new "array of object references" thus allows for specifying the
references together with reference specific options and this in a
specific order.
Additionally this paves the way for specifying the same input twice,
e.g. in the case of the `org.osbuild.files` input where a pipeline
could then be specified twice with different files. This needs core
rework though, since internally we use dictionaries right now.
Use the new Manifest.depsolve function to only build the pipelines that
were explicitly requested and their dependencies, taking into account
what is already present in the store.
Since now not all pipeline will be built, there wont be a result entry
for all the pipelines, thus the format version 2 result formatting was
changed to not require the pipeline to be present in result set.
Commit 5b1cd2b made `source` and `target` for mounts optional, but
the corresponding code in `describe` still assumes that the device
will always be present. Fix this so that source will only be used
if it is set.
The previous commit gave the individual mounts more control over the
source and target properties. Do not require them at the global
schema but hand the control if they are optional over to the modules.
The order of entries in a dictionary is not specified by the JSON
standard and hard to control when marshalling dictionaries in Go.
Since the order of mounts is important and the wrong order leads
to wrong mount trees change the `mounts` field to an array. This
breaks existing manifests but after careful deliberation it was
concluded that the original schema with mounts as dictionaries
is not something we want to support. Apologies to everyone.
Adjust the schema of the copy and zipl stage accordingly.
Validate source references while loading manifests so that a bad
reference would result in a meaningful error message instead of a
hard-to-understand Python exception.
Allows stages to access file systems provided by devices.
This makes mount handling transparent to the stages, i.e.
the individual stages do not need any code for different
file system types and the underlying devices.
A new host service that provides device functionality to stages.
Since stages run in a container and are restricted from creating
device nodes, all device handling is done in the main osbuild
process. Currently this is done with the help of APIs and RPC,
e.g. `LoopServer`. Device host services on the other hand allow
declaring devices in the manifest itself and then osbuild will
prepare all devices before running the stage. One desired effect
is that it makes device handling transparent to the stages, e.g.
they don't have to know about loopback devices, LVM or LUKS.
Another result is that specific device handling is now modular
like Inputs and Source are and thus moved out of osbuild itself.
Add support for format version 2. The laoding fits to the manifest
description schema in `schema/osbuild2.json`. Loading, describing
and validation are fully functional. The `output` method resturns
results in a new format too but is very much work in progress and
quite a hack right now. The output format will definitely change
again.
