Sorcery 1.14.0 Release Notes

Test Sorcery 1.14.0 has finally been released! Two years in the making, it contains lots of new features, changes and bugfixes. Notable news include:

  • subdependency support: SUB_DEPENDS PRE_SUB_DEPENDS sub-dependencies

  • staging with castfs: Stage_Root

    • confmeld: a new tool for handling the merging of configuration files

    • new spell file pipeline: INSTALL -> INSTALL_EXTRAS -> POST_INSTALL -> TRANSFER -> FINAL

      • the default INSTALL_EXTRAS now does what POST_INSTALL did previously: (x)init.d, gather_docs, desktop files ...
      • the default POST_INSTALL now only cds to the stage or source directory. At this point everything that was meant to be installed is installed in the stage and ready for any hacking. This is where the grimoire team can do a lot, for example any usr/local paths could be fixed transparently and automatically to usr/share.
      • the default TRANSFER installs the staged files to the system
  • runtime dependency support: (runtime_depends and the optional variant suggest_depends)

  • a new spell file inheritance scheme: Sorcery/spell_file_execution

  • more url handlers (svn+http, svn+https, svn+ssh, git+http)
  • more cast dependency switches:
    • -O, --recast-optional [option]: If a spell being built has spells which could optionally depend on it, but those dependencies are disabled, ask to recast the dependee. Option can be one of: "always", "ask-yes", "ask-no", or "ignore"; it defaults to what is set via the sorcery menu.
    • -Z, --lazy-updates [option]: Perform updates on installed spells that need updates. Optional parameter is the same as above.

Other changes include:

  • gaze patchlevels: shows security and regular patchlevels for the grimoires and the system
  • per-spell cflags/cppflags/cxxflags/ldflags (in the sorcery feature menu)
  • gaze system-info: prints a system description, could be useful for debugging
  • dispel --total-dispel: also removes modified configuration files
  • a PERL_CPAN mirror list
  • DOCS is split into DOC_DIRS and DOCS for documentation dirs and files respectively
  • a no-check-certificate source hint for disabling certificate checks when required

Here is the huge ChangeLog:

2008-03-24 Jaka Kranjc <lynxlynxlynx@sourcemage.org>

  • cast, cleanse, alter, summon, scribe, scribbler, ...: changed $0 to
    • respective name, so sorcery can be debugged with bashdb properly and added exec to these calls so one process is saved

2008-03-03 Jaka Kranjc <lynxlynxlynx@sourcemage.org>

  • cleanse: broken runtime providers don't need to be recast if switched
    • don't display cast/dispel commands if none are needed and print a newline between each menu
  • libstage: read the link only once when transfering links and quote them

2008-02-29 Jaka Kranjc <lynxlynxlynx@sourcemage.org>

  • libmisc: fixed consolidate_params so it can take "-[eEn]" as values too;
    • before they were passed to echo and ignored, breaking dispel -e

2008-02-25 Jaka Kranjc <lynxlynxlynx@sourcemage.org>

  • libdispel: remove any config stages upon dispel

2008-02-23 Jaka Kranjc <lynxlynxlynx@sourcemage.org>

  • libcast: remove the castfs log after it is copied to the system - the logs
    • are big and can clog up /tmp (especially for tmpfs users). Previously they were deleted at the final cast TMP_DIR cleanup

2008-02-20 Jaka Kranjc <lynxlynxlynx@sourcemage.org>

  • common: better handling of empty config stages

2008-02-19 Jaka Kranjc <lynxlynxlynx@sourcemage.org>

  • confmeld, common: made use of that routine
  • confmeld: simplified removal code, now things get deleted right after use
    • fixed passing of more than one argument
  • libstage, confmeld, common: added locking calls

2008-02-04 Jaka Kranjc <lynxlynxlynx@sourcemage.org>

  • confmeld: added options to just list all spells, configs or both

2008-02-02 Jaka Kranjc <lynxlynxlynx@sourcemage.org>

  • libgpg, libunpack: added multisign support #13815
  • gaze, libstate, libgrimoire: discard awk warnings

  • libcodex: bail out of codex_check_cache if the grimoire dir is not
    • listable (executable) #13508
  • gaze: gaze size could bark on files with glob paterns in their name #14183
    • gaze from didn't check its parameters, causing bug #14219

2008-01-31 Jaka Kranjc <lynxlynxlynx@sourcemage.org>

  • libmisc: added error_message, a message() that also outputs to stderr

  • cast: suggest the user to run confmeld if there are any deferred files.
    • fixes the second third of #13618
  • confmeld: remove all empty dirs in the config staging area (cast is
    • leaving them behind)

    • fixed staged install check in internal_install_config_file !="off" also matches the empty string, which currently happens when ressurecting

2008-01-27 Jaka Kranjc <lynxlynxlynx@sourcemage.org>

  • libstate: fixed query_spell_status to be regression free
    • (was breaking on "spells" with slashes in their names - in gaze)

  • cast: fixed typo in pre-review-queue message #14228

2008-01-23 Jaka Kranjc <lynxlynxlynx@sourcemage.org>

  • libtrigger: fix fallback parameter in trigger(), which was luckily not used
    • removed a redundant check in remove_triggers if the transaction *file* was a file; if it wasn't, the code would lock the trigger list forever fixed bug #13466 - dispel_self was dispelling the triggerer

  • libgrimoire: fixed private_installed_version to match regex chars too
    • use the -p option to mkdir in real_mk_source_dir #14193

2008-01-22 Jaka Kranjc <lynxlynxlynx@sourcemage.org>

  • libstate: moved the subshell from the callers into query_spell_status and
    • sped it up for a tiny bit due to expensive locking locking in search_depends_status is too expensive simplified the parameter check in add_depends and moved it before the possible removal of dependency info; disabled locking

2008-01-21 Jaka Kranjc <lynxlynxlynx@sourcemage.org>

  • liblock: don't overwrite the lock list in lock_start_transaction #13345
    • don't quit when removing the old lock list fixed typos in error messages

  • libdepends: added more locking calls #7917
  • libgrimoire: 100% speedup of private_installed_version; unfortunately
    • speeding the lookup is not enough to counteract the needed locking calls, the function would get too slow
  • liblock: lock_resources can only work on one resource at a time, so
    • simplify its callers for clarity and a small speedup check if the lockdir and lockfile exist before trying to create them
  • config: changed MAX_SLEEP to 2s

2008-01-15 Jaka Kranjc <lynxlynxlynx@sourcemage.org>

  • libstate: added use of locks (when reading files) and transactions (when

    • sanity

2007-11-14 Jaka Kranjc <lynxlynxlynx@sourcemage.org>

2006-12-03 Andrew Stitt <astitt@sourcemage.org>

2006-11-29 David Brown <dmlb2000@gmail.com>

  • etc/sorcery/compile_config: set DISTCC_DIR env-var
  • etc/sorcery/config: remove installwatch stuff added castfs stuff
  • confmeld: fixed parsing of the path to generate the correct data
  • delve: added transfer and install extras as stages also added
    • chroot checks since delve calls itself during the install stage. stage install is now called transfer so lots of one liners for that also swapped out installwatch checks for castfs checks
  • var/lib/sorcery/build/run_compiler: added export of distcc dir
  • build_api/api2: swapped out installwatch stuff for castfs stuff,
    • stuff includes checks and logfile variables. Also added the install extras and transfer stages to the build process, this includes the default sorcery functions and making the run functions
  • build_api/common: added an old.libraries hack for when we remove
    • important libraries we save them first then library and run paths to find them again. This is here for similar reasons as the old binaries hack above it.
  • libapi: added the new stages for install extras and transfer. Also
    • modified the comment so it reflects the changes made.
  • libcast: swapped out installwatch log for castfs log creation
  • libgrimoire: added some recursive umount checks for deaddir in
    • rm_source_dir so we don't remove system stuff if there's a bind
  • libsorcery: added !filter syntax for spell filters. The !filter
    • takes presidence over the filter.
  • libspell: added install extras and transfer magic to make sure
    • sorcery calls the new spell files if they exist
  • libstage: swap out installwatch for castfs, this includes changing
    • out invoke devoke and prepare stage root and installwatch functions. Also the installwatch check is now castfs check. The install log is now created from a find of the stage root location instead of parsing installwatch logs.
