actions: Support for local packages installation #165

fdanis-oss · 2019-05-29T16:04:02Z

This add a new 'source' option to 'apt' action, allowing to install local
packages from the 'source' directory in addition to the repository.

Fix #157

bikeshedding: I think "source" may be a bit unfortunate name/keyword for this as it's not obvious what it would mean without a description. eg. it could (incorrectly) be interpretted as source code, source packages, etc. Is there any other more obvious keyword that fits better perhaps? Just thinks it's useful to consider the question now, because once it's in changing it would break recipies which would be bad....

fdanis-oss · 2019-06-28T10:06:00Z

yes, you're right, what about "local-packages-dir"?

is /usr/local/debs the best place for this ? would a temp directory be better?
i think it is worth allowing the user to optionally override this path from the recipe; for instance the rootfs may be too small.

apt command can only access packages from network or rootfs
the idea is to hide this from user, so I don't think allowing user to set the temporary destination directory is useful

Defer statement runs at the end of the function.
So, the destination directory is only available during this apt action, and subsequent apt actions will not have access to it.

if this is only a warning i wonder if this should be a separate patch since debootstrap action also moans about this
also, this is in the middle of a chdir, for clarity move it above

I do not see this warning with debootstrap action

As it is related to following apt-ftparchive commands I think doing this here is right place

can this be done as a direct go file write rather than a command?

What feels incredibly awkward with this action for me is the amount of hakcs it has to do to the root filesystem we're building to "add" the local packages directory;

And then you have to specify the pakcage to install in your normal apt run; however i don't think you generate a policy file to ensure the local file:// archive gets priority so if the os you build against has a newer version there is a chance it install the non-local package..

Would probably be better to simplify this and rather then extending the apt actions have a new action which only install a list of named files (with glob?) using apt install <files> which iirc installs dependencies from other apt sources automatically

that should also support the typical origin keyword one could easily install packages downloaded externally

fdanis-oss · 2020-05-29T08:39:36Z

afaik apt install <files> will only install dependencies from other apt sources, but not from the local directory, and force user to list all packages and their dependencies in the command

Continuing the alternative implementation under #220 so closing this one.
