[opensuse-factory] Can we assume that /bin/sh is bash?
by Martin Wilck 21 Mar '22

21 Mar '22

Hi Jan, all, I'd like to carry our OBS dicussion to a wider audience (https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/672510). The question is whether we can assume that "/bin/sh" links to bash, in particular whether rpm scriptlets without explicit -p interpreter can be assumed to interpreted by bash. I'm aware that, in principle, /bin/sh is supposed to be the Bourne shell on Unix systems. But as a matter of fact, on current openSUSE, it is not. Unless it's tampered with, /bin/sh is a symlink to /bin/bash. bash is not started in full POSIX mode if invoked as /bin/sh, and even if it's in POSIX mode, it supports some extensions over the POSIX shell spec (e.g. the [[ ]] construct), which makes it behave differently than another shell not supporting [[ ]] would (*). Problably there are more differences, I can't claim to know them all. Here are some arguments why I think it'd be reasonable to assume that /bin/sh is bash on openSUSE: 1. patterns-base-minimal_base depends on bash, and the /bin/sh symlink is a non-configurable part of the "bash" package. 2. we could handle /bin/sh via /etc/alternatives, but we don't. 3. our Wiki suggests testing failing scriplets using "bash -xv" (https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_scriptlet_snippets) 4. /bin/sh has pointed to bash for a long time (not sure how long exactly). FTR, Fedora basically guarantees (sh == bash) for the purpose of rpm scriptlets (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Scriptlets). So Fedora <-> openSUSE portability may also be an issue to consider. If we can't assume that /bin/sh is bash, what else can we assume? I recall from earlier work that writing really 100% compatible shell code for all kinds of environments is really hard. E.g., "[" isn't 100% portable either, even though it's part of the POSIX "test" standard (http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/test.html). We should have clear rules which syntax expressions can be used in rpm scriptlets, and which can't. IMO we should define one of the various existing shells as a reference by saying "if it's supported by this shell, it's valid scriptlet code". That'd be easier (especially for testing compliance) than referring to a spec. That reference shell doesn't have to be bash, of course. Thanks Martin (*) For example: # ln -s /usr/bin/echo '/usr/bin/[[' # ls -l /bin/sh lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Feb 8 10:38 /bin/sh -> bash # /bin/sh --posix -c '[[ 2 = 1 ]] && echo yes' # dash -c '[[ 2 = 1 ]] && echo yes' 2 -eq 1 ]] yes -- Dr. Martin Wilck <mwilck(a)suse.com>, Tel. +49 (0)911 74053 2107 SUSE Linux GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Graham Norton HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

newlib in cross arm compilers missing nano
by Alin Marin Elena 22 Dec '21

22 Dec '21

How newlib in cross compilers is built at the moment is missing libg_nano and libc_nano. possible other bits too. this is cross-arm-none-newlib-devel this has a consequence not being able to build qmk for example/ also symling to /usr/bin/arm-suse-linux-gnueabi-size seems to miss. this is in cross-arm-binutils Regards, Alin Without Questions there are no Answers! ______________________________________________________________________ Dr. Alin Marin ELENA http://alin.elena.space/ ______________________________________________________________________

QtWebkit will be removed from openSUSE Tumbleweed soon
by Christophe Giboudeaux 01 Nov '21

01 Nov '21

Hello, QtWebKit was a rendering engine for web content released with Qt until 5.6. It was replaced with QtWebEngine after that. Despite a community fork in 2016, nothing really happened to keep it alive and secure. Quoting the QtWebKit release page on Github: "WARNING: This release is based on old WebKit revision with known unpatched vulnerabilities. Please use it carefully and avoid visiting untrusted websites and using it for transmission of sensitive data." It's time to drop it from openSUSE Tumbleweed. The good news, most QtWebKit remaining users were just caused by obsolete 'BuildRequires'. Most were cleaned during the week end. Pending SRs: - FreeCAD (SR#902666 replaces the dependency) - qgis (SR#903291 disables the optional dependency) - owncloud-client (it needs an unrelated code fix) - notepadqq (SR#903352 replaces the old version with a git snapshot) Packages that could use snapshots: - quiterss The upstream website looks down. There are 2 github repo (QuiteRSS/quiterss2 and QuiteRSS/quiterss). Both don't have hard dependency on QtWebKit. - leechcraft Last release in 2014. We're already using snapshots. QtWebKit looks optional. The less good news, a couple packages also have to be dropped. KDE packages that will be dropped: - trojita (no activity upstream) - kwebkitpart - kdewebkit Packages with no upstream activity and/or no alternative port: - wkhtmltopdf which is a dependency for python-hide-code and python-pdfkit - swift-im - smtube - goldendict Christophe

[opensuse-factory] openSUSE:Factory git mirror update
by Bernhard M. Wiedemann 04 Oct '21

04 Oct '21

Hi, our experimental git mirror of openSUSE:Factory got a new feature: It now makes single commits from most individual updates with some useful info in the commit message. This makes the whole history much nicer to read: https://github.com/bmwiedemann/openSUSE/commits/master In the usual case of SRs it links back to the SR on OBS, because that is where most of the discussion might have happened: https://github.com/bmwiedemann/openSUSE/commit/d1afc9699 but sometimes direct commits happen and they are shown with the commit message and a link to the OBS change https://github.com/bmwiedemann/openSUSE/commit/b2786e5c8 Ideas for future work: In theory we could also track these packages' devel projects on a 'devel' branch In a similar fashion we could also track openSUSE:Leap:15.* on stable/leap15_N branches to allow offline diff We could try to enable osc build to work from such git dirs. Either this uses the OBS server-side logic to resolve dependencies to get the usual .osc/_buildinfo* and .osc/_buildconfig* files or we re-implement or re-use OBS server logic to allow builds when offline. And then (in the foggy far future) it would be possible to make a gateway back from github pull-requests or gitlab merge-requests to submitting SRs in OBS. Or we re-think how OBS handles its source files until then. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iY_ADUQiiQI&t=787 Ciao Bernhard M.

[opensuse-factory] openSUSE reproducible builds status 2021-05
by Bernhard M. Wiedemann 30 Sep '21

30 Sep '21

Hi, last month's status: https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/factory@lists.opensuse.org/thread/… Last months' reproducible builds project updates (including my work): https://reproducible-builds.org/reports/2021-04/ This time I spent most time on rebuilding and fixing issues in 15.3 https://rb.zq1.de/leap/15.3/ has some stats. It was a bit more difficult than 15.2, because older SLE binaries do not get rebuilt, and even Leap is split between Backports and Leap project. I also ran my scripts on https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/openSUSE:Step:FrontRunner to check what stops building there and found many issues.

Switch all packages to /usr?
by Ludwig Nussel 28 Sep '21

28 Sep '21

Hi, Now with the UsrMerge in place the question arises what to do with all the packages that still install files into /bin, /sbin, /lib and /lib64 without causing conflicts. The files end up in their counterpart in /usr anyway as rpm follows the directory symlinks. So technically there is no strict requirement to adjust those packages. In fact looking at Fedora 34 it seems they just live with that state. So should we bother and change the remaining packages¹ too? Would make sense for consistency I guess. The biggest challenge is likely the kernel with the module directory. cu Ludwig [1] list of affected packages: CoreFreq aws-efs-utils bbswitch biosdevname blktrace blog crash crystalhd-libs dpdk drbd drbd-utils elilo fedfs-utils fprintd gcc gcc7 gcc9 gdm glusterfs gnome-keyring google-authenticator-libpam google-guest-oslogin grubby hdjmod ipvsadm jfsutils kanidm kdump kernel-default-base kubevirt libewf libgssglue libnss_nis libnss_usrfiles libpwquality libreadline5 linux-atm live-net-installer lsb lxc makedev malcontent mariadb mcstrans mdadm mhvtl mingetty mingw32-cross-gcc mingw32-cross-gcc-bootstrap mingw64-cross-gcc mingw64-cross-gcc-bootstrap msr-safe multipath-tools munin netconsole-tools nfs-utils nilfs-utils nss-pam-ldapd oath-toolkit ocfs2-tools oddjob ooRexx open-iscsi openafs opie pam_ccreds pam_chroot pam_csync pam_dbus pam_krb5 pam_kwallet pam_mktemp pam_mount pam_p11 pam_passwdqc pam_pkcs11 pam_radius pam_script pam_ssh pam_u2f pam_userpass pam_yubico pcfclock pciutils pcmciautils perl-Bootloader policycoreutils polkit-default-privs readline6 reiserfs rpcbind rtl8812au rungetty samba scsirastools sdparm slurm snapper sssd supportutils sysconfig sysdig tcpd texinfo texinfo4 tomoyo-tools trousers tunctl ucode-intel v4l2loopback vhba-kmp virtualbox virtualbox-kmp xfsprogs xtables-addons -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.com/ SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer HRB 36809 (AG Nürnberg)

libalternatives as alternative for update-alternatives
by Adam Majer 19 Sep '21

19 Sep '21

Hi all, I would like to introduce to you an alternative for update-alternatives called libalternatives [1]. The main motivation for myself to work on this is that update-alternatives is both too rigid and too simple to actually get the job done. To better understand what I'm talking about, first we have to actually understand what update-alternatives is and how it functions. Some of you may have heard that there is more than one console text editor. Some would have vim installed, and some would have emacs installed and some others may even like to work in nano or ed. The problem arose when some 3rd party program (eg. mutt) needed to edit some file (eg. mail) and then there was no simple way of actually starting this editor. Here is where update-alternatives comes in - it allows each of these program to register as an editor and then update-alternatives would install a symlink to the highest priority editor under /usr/bin/editor. The world was simple. Fast forward a decade or two and today we have various usages of this symlink management system into areas that were never even imagined when it was created. We have symlinks to whole directories. We have multiple versions of python that can be co-installed. And here we come across the first major obstacle and limitation to simply using symlinks -- they only really allow a SINGLE choice to be preferred. Take for example nodejs. You can have nodejs14 and nodejs16 co-installed and running and you could have node pointing to the latter (actually, this is not what happens because precisely of this limitation :-). But, what happens when you run `node14` and then that program re-execs #!/usr/bin/node in a subprocess? The subprocess runs node16 and you are out of luck. You couldn't even compile a binary node module with the older version! What actually happens today is that node stores the major version it executes under in the environment and when /usr/bin/node is executed, it will re-run that version and not the default version -- today update-alternatives still manages node-default symlink. I expect the same issue exists with ruby and python3 and other interpreters but it's not viewed as a deal breaker but an ugly nuisance. Maybe now this can be improved? The second issue that comes up is inability to actually manage preferences on a user level. Imagine you have all editors installed on a multi-user system. The user cannot specify their preferences and must bypass update-alternatives and resort to manual symlink hackery in ~/.bin or similar. The third issue is packaging this mess. How many times have any of you made an error with update-alternatives that then broke an update and became almost impossible to fix without further scriptlet hacks? It's fragile, to say the least. The system is also changed during installation and not at runtime -- this makes it potentially inconsistent between snapshots. Having said all this, my main motivation for developing an alternative is removing the node-default symlink and moving the logic into a library. The /usr/bin/node would link to it and exec the preferred node version based on user preferences, admin preferences and packager preference, in that order. libalternatives provides a single executable - /usr/bin/alts. If you run it, you can use it to change the default preferences. If you executable is simple and does not require additional logic, you can just do a symlink, /usr/bin/editor -> /usr/bin/alts and preferred editor will be run. If you have additional logic, like /usr/bin/node does, just call execDefault(argc) if and when you want preferred alternative executable exec(). At the moment, I've adjusted the packages of various node versions in my home project - home:adamm:alternatives. There is also an example package there [3] that executes either true or false - I hope the file layout is easy to understand. I think I could continue with details, but maybe I'll wait for feedback if anyone finds this actually interesting and worthwhile or maybe never even given it thought until now :-) Cheers, Adam PS. libalternatives is not yet in Factory but should be submitted here in a few days.
