27Introduction
28------------
29
30This README describes some basics about creating, modifying, and
31building packages in ON.  All package creation in ON is done using
32tools available to our customers.  If terminology in this document
33is confusing, you may wish to review the pkg(5) manpage.
34
35Packaging Overview
36------------------
37
38usr/src/pkg/ contains the definitions and rules needed to build
39a set of IPS repositories which contain the deliverables from an
40ON build.
41
42The manifests directory contains all manifests, and has one file
43per package.  For most packaging changes you only need to add or
44change the packaging manifests themselves.
45
46The build rules create two repositories.  These are both built
47for DEBUG and non-DEBUG, and are thus available at
48    $CODEMGR_WS/packages/$MACH/nightly[-nd]/repo.(extra|redist)
49
50	repo.redist
51	    Contains the bulk of ON, and is what is delivered to the
52	    main OpenSolaris 'dev' and 'release' repositories.  All
53	    components delivered there must be redistributable.
54
55	repo.extra
56	    Is only built for Closed builds, and contains
57	    non-redistributable (without a proper legal agreement) pieces
58	    which may or may not be suitable for inclusion in the
59	    pkg.sun.com/opensolaris/extra repository, including the
60	    SUNWcryptoint bits necessary for working crypto in a Closed
61	    build.  Do not distribute any of the bits in repo.extra
62	    without prior agreement from the appropriate lawyers.
63
64Building Packages
65-----------------
66
67The -p option to nightly will build the IPS repositories.
68
69Alternatively, in usr/src/pkg/Makefile there are make targets for:
70
71	all
72	    Process manifests into their final form with unresolved
73	    dependencies before publication.
74
75	install
76	    Publish packages.
77
78	gendeps
79	    Run `pkgdepend resolve`.  See Dependencies section.
80
81	protocmp
82	    Compare the proto area against package definitions for
83	    missing or incorrect files.
84
85	pmodes
86	    Check file and directory modes for best practices.
87
88	check
89	    Run protocmp and pmodes.
90
91The build behavior may modified by the following variables:
92
93	CLOSED_IS_PRESENT
94	    If CLOSED_IS_PRESENT is set to "yes," repo.extra will be built.
95
96	ON_CRYPTO_BINS or CODESIGN_USER
97	    If ON_CRYPTO_BINS or CODESIGN_USER is set in your build env,
98	    no packages will depend on the internal crypto certificates.
99	    If neither is set, your bits depend on the internal crypto
100	    certificates being available and packages will depend on
101	    pkg:/driver/crypto/dprov, which is only available in the
102	    on-extra repository.
103
104	SUPPRESSPKGDEP
105	    If SUPPRESSPKGDEP is set to "true" in your environment,
106	    package dependencies will not be generated.  This variable
107	    should not be set in normal builds as it will mask product
108	    bugs.
109
110	PKGDEBUG
111	    If PKGDEBUG is set in your environment, $MAKE will print
112	    detailed information about the commands it executes to
113	    process and publish packages.
114
115	ONNV_BUILDNUM
116	    If ONNV_BUILDNUM is set to an older ON build number,
117	    your packages will be published at that version instead
118	    of the one defined in usr/src/Makefile.buildnum, which
119	    is managed by the gatekeepers.
120
121A set of intermediate build products are placed in
122usr/src/pkg/packages.$MACH/.  These can be useful during development.
123
124	.mog
125	    The resulting package manifest after running pkgmogrify(1)
126	    on the supplied manifest.  See below for details on
127	    pkgmogrify(1) use in ON.
128
129	.dep
130	    The resulting manifest after running `pkgdepend generate`
131	    on the .mog manifest.
132
133	.res
134	    The resulting manifest after running `pkgdepend resolve`
135	    on the .dep manifest.
136
137Incremental Builds
138------------------
139
140   If you want to process a subset of manifests, simply set PKGS on the
141   make command line and specify the "all" target.  If you want to process
142   them all, simply specify the "all" target.
143
144   	% dmake -e PKGS="BRCMbnx BRCMbnxe" all
145	% dmake -e all
146
147   If you want to publish a subset of packages, simply set PKGS on the
148   make command line and specify the "install" target.  Overriding PKGS
149   will cause dependency resolution to be limited to PKGS from the
150   current build, with a fallback to packages installed on the build
151   system.  If you want to publish them all, simply specify the
152   "install" target.
153
154   	% dmake -e PKGS="BRCMbnx BRCMbnxe" install
155	% dmake -e install
156
157   You can also use package names, or package names with ".pub"
158   extensions, as build targets.  This will cause processing or
159   publication of the specified package(s).
160
161   The on-disk repository will be initialized when it does not exist,
162   or when you run nightly -p.  If you build incrementally,
163   packages will simply be added to the existing repository.
164
165   To do cross-platform packaging, prefix your target with (for
166   example) "sparc/", as in "dmake sparc/install".  Note that we
167   currently pull some license files directly from a built source
168   tree, so if you do this in a workspace that had proto area copied
169   in via nightly -U, then you'll need to set $SRC to point to the
170   workspace that was actually built.
171
172Testing Packages
173----------------
174
175To test the generated repositories, you should use the "onu" tool
176available from /opt/onbld/bin or usr/src/tools/scripts/ to setup and
177upgrade your system.  A manpage is available in /opt/onbld/man
178or usr/src/tools/scripts/onu.1.
179
180Alternatively, you can manually start a pkg.depot(1M) server to
181serve the generated repositories to multiple test machines.
182
183	Start up a depot on your build machine.
184	    cd $CODEMGR_WS/packages/$MACH/nightly[-nd]
185	    /usr/lib/pkg.depotd -d repo.redist -p <port> &
186
187	    Make SURE you choose an unused port and the depot
188	    starts successfully.
189
190	    The depot can be started across NFS as well if you
191	    have a fast pipe.
192
193	Configure your test system.
194	    pkg set-publisher -P -g http://<your server host>:<port> on-nightly
195	    pkg set-publisher --non-sticky opensolaris.org
196	    pkg uninstall entire
197
198	pkg image-update your test system.
199	    pkg image-update will upgrade all packages on your test system
200
201Always make sure your bits are installed with image-update.
202	Check your versions.
203	    pkg info osnet-incorporation
204
205	Multiple packages should be updated.
206	    If you did a full build, all ON packages will be updated.
207	    When image-update tells you that only one or two packages has
208	    been updated, you likely did not get the updates you expected.
209
210There are various tactics for troubleshooting a failed upgrade.
211	Make sure entire is uninstalled.
212
213	pkg install -nv osnet-incorporation@<your version>
214	    Ask IPS to explicitly check if ON can be installed, and
215	    if it can't, tell you why not.
216
217	Obsolete and renamed packages can cause trouble.
218	    pkg search -l ::pkg.renamed:true
219	    pkg search -l ::pkg.obsolete:true
220
221Making Packaging Changes
222------------------------
223
224Package definitions are in usr/src/pkg/manifests/, and have one
225file per package, including for multi-architecture packages.  For
226most packaging changes you only need to add or change the packaging
227manifests themselves.  No packaging metadata may be kept outside of the
228manifests. If you find yourself needing to modify usr/src/pkg/Makefile,
229you're almost certainly doing something wrong.
230
231Remember that the "check" target is available to check many of
232your packaging changes.
233
234We run pkgmogrify(1) over the manifests before publication.  This
235allows us to apply a set of macros and package transformations in
236order to make the manifests themselves easier to maintain.
237
238We supply a set of commonly-used macros for use in package manifests.
239These are the PKGMOG_DEFINES in usr/src/pkg/Makefile.
240
241	$(i386_ONLY)
242	$(sparc_ONLY)
243	$(ARCH)
244	$(ARCH32)
245	$(ARCH64)
246	$(PKGVERS), which is set to
247	   $(PKGVERS_COMPONENT),$(PKGVERS_BUILTON)-0.$(PKGVERS_BRANCH)
248
249pkgmogrify(1) also allows us to include a set of default transformations.
250The definitions for these transforms are in usr/src/pkg/transforms/.  An
251overview of their use is supplied here, but for a full accounting, please
252read pkmogrify(1) and the files themselves.
253
254	defaults
255	    This transform is applied to all manifests.  It specifies
256	    a set of sensible default permissions, a set of
257	    directory locations for which the reboot-needed actuator
258	    is always applied to files, and some other basic defaults.
259
260	publish
261	    This transform is applied to all manifests.  It ensures
262	    that manifest lines which don't apply to the current
263	    architecture are stripped.  It also ensures non-redistributable
264	    packages aren't included in an open-only build.
265
266	restart_fmri
267	    This transform is applied to all manifests.  It modifies
268	    all package manifest lines for SMF manifests in standard
269	    locations to include an actuator which runs manifest-import
270	    on installation/update/removal, as well as some others.  If
271	    you're adding a new class of file that would benefit from
272	    a restart or refresh of a specific SMF service, please add
273	    it here.
274
275	extract_metadata
276	    This transform is applied to all manifests.  It deals with
277	    manipulations required for packaging metadata like
278	    org.opensolaris.redist, pkg.renamed, and pkg.obsolete.
279
280	hollow_zone_pkg
281	    This transform is available for explicit inclusion in
282	    some manifests.  It ensures that all contents of the
283	    package are not installed within a non-global zone, but the
284	    package and its metadata are available in order to satisfy
285	    packaging dependencies.
286
287pkgmogrify(1) also allows us to use comments and continuation lines
288in our manifests.
289
290Zones and Packages
291------------------
292
293pkg(5) uses variants to implement zones.  If a package is marked
294with both global and non-global zone variants, the package contents will
295be installed in both global and non-global by default.
296	set name=variant.opensolaris.zone value=global value=nonglobal
297
298Specific actions within a package can be tagged as applying to only
299the global zone or only the non-global zones.
300
301The hollow_zone_pkg transform described above is also available to
302simplify a common packaging scenario.
303
304Dependencies
305------------
306
307Package dependencies are automatically calculated during build time
308using pkgdepend(1).  After you've done a build, you can verify your
309dependencies in the <package>.res file described above.  If the
310file is missing a dependency that you believe could be auto-detected,
311please file a bug against pkgdepend(1).
312
313Dependencies can be added manually using the "depend" action.  Please
314add a comment describing why the dependency is required.
315
316Moving Content Between Packages and Removing Content
317----------------------------------------------------
318
319pkg(5) tracks when content is removed from packages, and automatically
320removes it.
321
322If you need to move content between packages, there are two primary
323things to do.
324
325	"preserve" files must be marked with original_name.
326	    The first time a "preserve" file moves between packages,
327	    you must set original_name=<original package>:<file>
328	    in that file's action.  Subsequent moves do not require
329	    modification.
330
331	Consider adding a dependency on the new package.
332	    The only way a system will end up with a new package
333	    after upgrade is if an existing package depends on it.
334
335Renaming a Package
336------------------
337
338To rename a package, leave the old package manifest in place, but
339empty it of all delivered content.  The old package should include:
340
341	set name=pkg.fmri with the version set explicitly to the
342	    build you're integrating into.  For example, if you wanted
343	    to rename SUNWrmodu in build 133 you'd change the pkg.fmri
344	    line to read
345	    set name=pkg.fmri value=pkg:/SUNWrmodu@0.5.11,5.11-0.133
346
347	set name=pkg.renamed value=true
348
349	The architectures and variants you're renaming.  These
350	    should just be copied from your old package, as you
351	    must rename a package on all architectures and
352	    variants simultaneously.
353
354	A dependency on the new package.
355
356If there were "preserve" files in the package you're renaming, make
357sure to create original_name settings in the new package.
358
359If there was a org.opensolaris.noincorp property in the package being
360renamed, make sure you keep it in both the original and the renamed
361packages.
362
363EOFs and Removals
364-----------------
365
366To remove files, directories, drivers, or anything else within a package,
367simply stop delivering them in the package.  IPS will manage the removal
368of no longer delivered content.
369
370Package removals have impact on the rest of the system.  Before marking
371a package as obsolete, search in the OpenSolaris development
372repository (http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev or http://ipkg.sfbay/dev)
373to find out if any other packages depend on the software you intend
374to EOF.  If any packages do, you need to coordinate with those
375consolidations.
376
377The "slim_install" package may depend on ON packages.  If it does,
378you must send a FLAG DAY message for ON users and PIT who test
379install.  You must also file an installation bug to get that package
380updated in the same build or earlier than you intend to integrate.
381You should also test install yourself.  You can do this by replacing
382the "slim_install" in your Distro Constructor manifest with the
383explicit list of packages to install.
384
385To remove a package, you must mark it as obsolete.  The obsoleted
386package manifest should include
387
388	set name=pkg.fmri with the version set explicitly to the
389	    build you're integrating into.  For example, if you wanted
390	    to remove SUNWwbsd in build 133 you'd change the pkg.fmri
391	    line to read
392	    set name=pkg.fmri value=pkg:/SUNWwbsd@0.5.11,5.11-0.133
393
394	set name=pkg.obsolete value=true
395
396	The architectures and variants you're obsoleting.  These
397	    should just be copied from your old package, as you
398	    must obsolete a package on all architectures and
399	    variants simultaneously.
400
401Creating a Package
402------------------
403
404The easiest thing is to copy a package similar to the one you're
405trying to create.  Note that packages are no longer split on the
406/usr and / boundary.
407
408The following actions are required for all packages in ON.
409	set name=pkg.fmri
410	    Every package must have an FMRI.  That is the package's
411	    name.
412
413	set name=pkg.summary
414	    Every package must have a short summary of its purpose.
415
416	set name=pkg.description
417	    Every package must have a one-sentence description of
418	    its purpose.
419
420	set name=variant.arch
421	    Every package must specify which architectures it delivers.
422
423	set name=variant.opensolaris.zone
424	    Every package must specify whether it can be installed in
425	    global zones, non-global zones, or both.
426
427	set name=info.classification
428	    Every package must specify a category for the packaging GUI.
429	    You must use an existing category, and may not invent new ones.
430	    Existing categories and their subcategories are listed
431	    in /usr/share/package-manager/data/opensolaris.org.sections.
432
433	license
434	    All packages must specify a set of license actions.  If
435	    you're adding items here that are not already included in
436	    usr/src/pkg/license_files, then you will also need to modify
437	    usr/src/tools/opensolaris/license-list.
438
439The following actions are uncommon but specific to ON.
440
441	set name=org.opensolaris.redist
442	    This may be set to nonredist or internal.  If a package
443	    is redistributable, do not create this action.  "internal"
444	    packages which are legally not allowed to be distributed
445	    at all are strongly discouraged.  If you're adding
446	    content to a package with this action, you should have
447	    modified bindrop.sh, and test open-only builds.
448
449Drivers and Packages
450--------------------
451
452Scripting is no longer required to deal with addition or removal of
453drivers in ON.  A "driver" action should be specified for each driver,
454and IPS will handle updates to all the driver files.
455
