26Introduction
27------------
28
29This README describes some basics about creating, modifying, and
30building packages in ON. All package creation in ON is done using
31tools available to our customers. If terminology in this document
32is confusing, you may wish to review the pkg(7) manpage.
33
34Packaging Overview
35------------------
36
37usr/src/pkg/ contains the definitions and rules needed to build an IPS
38repository which contain the deliverables from an ON build.
39
40The manifests directory contains all manifests, and has one file
41per package. For most packaging changes you only need to add or
42change the packaging manifests themselves.
43
44The build rules create a package repository. Separate DEBUG and
45non-DEBUG versions are built, and are available at:
46 $CODEMGR_WS/packages/$MACH/nightly[-nd]/repo.redist
47
48Building Packages
49-----------------
50
51The -p option to nightly will build the IPS repository.
52
53Alternatively, in usr/src/pkg/Makefile there are make targets for:
54
55 all
56 Process manifests into their final form with unresolved
57 dependencies before publication.
58
59 install
60 Publish packages.
61
62 gendeps
63 Run `pkgdepend resolve`. See Dependencies section.
64
65 protocmp
66 Compare the proto area against package definitions for
67 missing or incorrect files.
68
69 pmodes
70 Check file and directory modes for best practices.
71
72 check
73 Run protocmp and pmodes.
74
75The build behavior may modified by the following variables:
76
77 SUPPRESSPKGDEP
78 If SUPPRESSPKGDEP is set to "true" in your environment,
79 package dependencies will not be generated. This variable
80 should not be set in normal builds as it will mask product
81 bugs.
82
83 PKGDEBUG
84 If PKGDEBUG is set in your environment, $MAKE will print
85 detailed information about the commands it executes to
86 process and publish packages.
87
88A set of intermediate build products are placed in
89usr/src/pkg/packages.$MACH/. These can be useful during development.
90
91 .mog
92 The resulting package manifest after running pkgmogrify(1)
93 on the supplied manifest. See below for details on
94 pkgmogrify(1) use in ON.
95
96 .dep
97 The resulting manifest after running `pkgdepend generate`
98 on the .mog manifest.
99
100 .res
101 The resulting manifest after running `pkgdepend resolve`
102 on the .dep manifest.
103
104Incremental Builds
105------------------
106
107 If you want to process a subset of manifests, simply set PKGS on the
108 make command line and specify the "all" target. If you want to process
109 them all, simply specify the "all" target.
110
111 % dmake -e PKGS="BRCMbnx BRCMbnxe" all
112 % dmake -e all
113
114 If you want to publish a subset of packages, simply set PKGS on the
115 make command line and specify the "install" target. Overriding PKGS
116 will cause dependency resolution to be limited to PKGS from the
117 current build, with a fallback to packages installed on the build
118 system. If you want to publish them all, simply specify the
119 "install" target.
120
121 % dmake -e PKGS="BRCMbnx BRCMbnxe" install
122 % dmake -e install
123
124 You can also use package names, or package names with ".pub"
125 extensions, as build targets. This will cause processing or
126 publication of the specified package(s).
127
128 The on-disk repository will be initialized when it does not exist,
129 or when you run nightly -p. If you build incrementally,
130 packages will simply be added to the existing repository.
131
132 To do cross-platform packaging, prefix your target with (for
133 example) "i386/", as in "dmake i386/install". Note that we
134 currently pull some license files directly from a built source
135 tree, so if you do this in a workspace that had proto area copied
136 in via nightly -U, then you'll need to set $SRC to point to the
137 workspace that was actually built.
138
139Testing Packages
140----------------
141
142To test the generated repository, you should use the "onu" tool
143available from /opt/onbld/bin or usr/src/tools/scripts/ to setup and
144upgrade your system. A manpage is available in /opt/onbld/man
145or usr/src/tools/scripts/onu.1.
146
147Alternatively, you can manually start a pkg.depot(8) server to
148serve the generated repository to multiple test machines.
149
150 Start up a depot on your build machine.
151 cd $CODEMGR_WS/packages/$MACH/nightly[-nd]
152 /usr/lib/pkg.depotd -d repo.redist -p <port> &
153
154 Make SURE you choose an unused port and the depot
155 starts successfully.
156
157 The depot can be started across NFS as well if you
158 have a fast pipe.
159
160 Configure your test system.
161 pkg set-publisher -P -g http://<your server host>:<port> on-nightly
162 pkg set-publisher --non-sticky opensolaris.org
163 pkg uninstall entire
164
165 pkg image-update your test system.
166 pkg image-update will upgrade all packages on your test system
167
168Always make sure your bits are installed with image-update.
169 Check your versions.
170 pkg info osnet-incorporation
171
172 Multiple packages should be updated.
173 If you did a full build, all ON packages will be updated.
174 When image-update tells you that only one or two packages has
175 been updated, you likely did not get the updates you expected.
176
177There are various tactics for troubleshooting a failed upgrade.
178 Make sure entire is uninstalled.
179
180 pkg install -nv osnet-incorporation@<your version>
181 Ask IPS to explicitly check if ON can be installed, and
182 if it can't, tell you why not.
183
184 Obsolete and renamed packages can cause trouble.
185 pkg search -l ::pkg.renamed:true
186 pkg search -l ::pkg.obsolete:true
187
188
189Making Packaging Changes
190------------------------
191
192Package definitions are in usr/src/pkg/manifests/, and have one
193file per package, including for multi-architecture packages. For
194most packaging changes you only need to add or change the packaging
195manifests themselves. No packaging metadata may be kept outside of the
196manifests. If you find yourself needing to modify usr/src/pkg/Makefile,
197you're almost certainly doing something wrong.
198
199Remember that the "check" target is available to check many of
200your packaging changes.
201
202We run pkgmogrify(1) over the manifests before publication. This
203allows us to apply a set of macros and package transformations in
204order to make the manifests themselves easier to maintain.
205
206We supply a set of commonly-used macros for use in package manifests.
207These are the PKGMOG_DEFINES in usr/src/pkg/Makefile.
208
209 $(i386_ONLY)
210 $(ARCH)
211 $(ARCH32)
212 $(ARCH64)
213 $(PKGVERS), which is set to
214 $(PKGVERS_COMPONENT),$(PKGVERS_BUILTON)-$(PKGVERS_BRANCH)
215
216pkgmogrify(1) also allows us to include a set of default transformations.
217The definitions for these transforms are in usr/src/pkg/transforms/. An
218overview of their use is supplied here, but for a full accounting, please
219read pkmogrify(1) and the files themselves.
220
221 defaults
222 This transform is applied to all manifests. It specifies
223 a set of sensible default permissions, a set of
224 directory locations for which the reboot-needed actuator
225 is always applied to files, and some other basic defaults.
226
227 publish
228 This transform is applied to all manifests. It ensures
229 that manifest lines which don't apply to the current
230 architecture are stripped.
231
232 restart_fmri
233 This transform is applied to all manifests. It modifies
234 all package manifest lines for SMF manifests in standard
235 locations to include an actuator which runs manifest-import
236 on installation/update/removal, as well as some others. If
237 you're adding a new class of file that would benefit from
238 a restart or refresh of a specific SMF service, please add
239 it here.
240
241 extract_metadata
242 This transform is applied to all manifests. It deals with
243 manipulations required for packaging metadata like
244 pkg.renamed, and pkg.obsolete.
245
246 hollow_zone_pkg
247 This transform is available for explicit inclusion in
248 some manifests. It ensures that all contents of the
249 package are not installed within a non-global zone, but the
250 package and its metadata are available in order to satisfy
251 packaging dependencies.
252
253pkgmogrify(1) also allows us to use comments and continuation lines
254in our manifests.
255
256Zones and Packages
257------------------
258
259pkg(7) uses variants to implement zones. If a package is marked
260with both global and non-global zone variants, the package contents will
261be installed in both global and non-global by default.
262 set name=variant.opensolaris.zone value=global value=nonglobal
263
264Specific actions within a package can be tagged as applying to only
265the global zone or only the non-global zones.
266
267The hollow_zone_pkg transform described above is also available to
268simplify a common packaging scenario.
269
270Dependencies
271------------
272
273Package dependencies are automatically calculated during build time
274using pkgdepend(1). After you've done a build, you can verify your
275dependencies in the <package>.res file described above. If the
276file is missing a dependency that you believe could be auto-detected,
277please file a bug against pkgdepend(1).
278
279Dependencies can be added manually using the "depend" action. Please
280add a comment describing why the dependency is required.
281
282Moving Content Between Packages and Removing Content
283----------------------------------------------------
284
285pkg(7) tracks when content is removed from packages, and automatically
286removes it.
287
288If you need to move content between packages, there are two primary
289things to do.
290
291 "preserve" files must be marked with original_name.
292 The first time a "preserve" file moves between packages,
293 you must set original_name=<original package>:<file>
294 in that file's action. Subsequent moves do not require
295 modification.
296
297 Consider adding a dependency on the new package.
298 The only way a system will end up with a new package
299 after upgrade is if an existing package depends on it.
300
301Renaming a Package
302------------------
303
304To rename a package, leave the old package manifest in place, but
305empty it of all delivered content. The old package should include:
306
307 set name=pkg.fmri with the version set explicitly to the
308 build you're integrating into. For example, if you wanted
309 to rename SUNWrmodu in build 133 you'd change the pkg.fmri
310 line to read
311 set name=pkg.fmri value=pkg:/SUNWrmodu@0.5.11,5.11-0.133
312
313 set name=pkg.renamed value=true
314
315 The architectures and variants you're renaming. These
316 should just be copied from your old package, as you
317 must rename a package on all architectures and
318 variants simultaneously.
319
320 A dependency on the new package.
321
322If there were "preserve" files in the package you're renaming, make
323sure to create original_name settings in the new package.
324
325If there was a org.opensolaris.noincorp property in the package being
326renamed, make sure you keep it in both the original and the renamed
327packages.
328
329EOFs and Removals
330-----------------
331
332To remove files, directories, drivers, or anything else within a package,
333simply stop delivering them in the package. IPS will manage the removal
334of no longer delivered content.
335
336Package removals have impact on the rest of the system. Before marking
337a package as obsolete, search in the OpenSolaris development
338repository (http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev or http://ipkg.sfbay/dev)
339to find out if any other packages depend on the software you intend
340to EOF. If any packages do, you need to coordinate with those
341consolidations.
342
343The "slim_install" package may depend on ON packages. If it does,
344you must send a FLAG DAY message for ON users and PIT who test
345install. You must also file an installation bug to get that package
346updated in the same build or earlier than you intend to integrate.
347You should also test install yourself. You can do this by replacing
348the "slim_install" in your Distro Constructor manifest with the
349explicit list of packages to install.
350
351To remove a package, you must mark it as obsolete. You must *also* mark
352as obsolete any packages which are renamed ancestors of this package, and
353remove their rename dependencies. Here is what you must do.
354
355To find rename ancestors, select all of the manifests which are renames,
356then look for the one which was renamed to the package you care about.
357For example, to find rename ancestors of 'system/zones', do the following:
358
359 $ cd usr/src/pkg/manifests
360 $ mypkgname=system/zones
361 $ grep -l "fmri=pkg:/$mypkgname@" `grep -l pkg.renamed *.p5m` /dev/null
362 SUNWzone.p5m
363
364Make sure to check that the package has not undergone multiple renames!
365
366 $ mypkgname=SUNWzone
367 $ grep -l "fmri=pkg:/$mypkgname@" `grep -l pkg.renamed *.p5m` /dev/null
368 $
369
370Once you have the renamed ancestor list, for *each* of the packages (the
371newly obsolete package, and its renamed ancestors), edit the package as
372follows:
373
374 Update 'set name=pkg.fmri' with the version set explicitly to the
375 build you're integrating into. For example, if you wanted
376 to remove SUNWwbsd in build 133 you'd change the pkg.fmri
377 line to read:
378 'set name=pkg.fmri value=pkg:/SUNWwbsd@0.5.11,5.11-0.133'
379
380 Add 'set name=pkg.obsolete value=true'.
381
382 Maintain the architecture and variant declarations in the
383 package you are obsoleting. Note that you must obsolete a
384 package on all architectures and variants simultaneously.
385
386 Delete everything else.
387
388 If the package is a renamed ancestor, leave a comment behind as
389 follows:
390
391 # Was renamed to <other-pkg-name>, both now obsolete.
392
393Here is a complete example. SUNWfoobar was a package which was renamed
394to system/foobar in build 140, and then later obsoleted in build 150.
395Note that in all cases the package FMRI is updated to the obsoletion
396build, 150.
397
398 SUNWfoobar.p5m:
399 # Was renamed to system/foobar, both now obsolete.
400 set name=pkg.fmri value=pkg:/SUNWfoobar@0.5.11,5.11-0.150
401 set name=pkg.obsolete value=true
402 set name=variant.arch value=$(ARCH)
403
404 system-foobar.p5m:
405 set name=pkg.fmri value=pkg:/system/foobar@0.5.11,5.11-0.150
406 set name=pkg.obsolete value=true
407 set name=variant.arch value=$(ARCH)
408
409Creating a Package
410------------------
411
412The easiest thing is to copy a package similar to the one you're
413trying to create. Note that packages are no longer split on the
414/usr and / boundary.
415
416The following actions are required for all packages in ON.
417 set name=pkg.fmri
418 Every package must have an FMRI. That is the package's
419 name.
420
421 set name=pkg.summary
422 Every package must have a short summary of its purpose.
423
424 set name=pkg.description
425 Every package must have a one-sentence description of
426 its purpose.
427
428 set name=variant.arch
429 Every package must specify which architectures it delivers.
430
431 set name=info.classification
432 Every package must specify a category for the packaging GUI.
433 You must use an existing category, and may not invent new ones.
434 Existing categories and their subcategories are listed
435 in /usr/share/package-manager/data/opensolaris.org.sections.
436
437 license
438 All packages must specify a set of license actions.
439
440You don't need to set the following. They're taken care of for all OS/Net
441packages in the transforms/common_actions file.
442
443 set name=variant.opensolaris.zone
444 Every package must specify whether it can be installed in
445 global zones, non-global zones, or both. All ON packages are
446 delivered in both global and non-global zones.
447
448 set name=org.opensolaris.consolidation value=osnet
449 All packages from OS/Net come from OS/Net...
450
451Drivers and Packages
452--------------------
453
454Scripting is no longer required to deal with addition or removal of
455drivers in ON. A "driver" action should be specified for each driver,
456and IPS will handle updates to all the driver files.
457
