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(5) manpage.
33
34Packaging Overview
35------------------
36
37usr/src/pkg/ contains the definitions and rules needed to build
38a set of IPS repositories which contain the deliverables from an
39ON build.
40
41The manifests directory contains all manifests, and has one file
42per package.  For most packaging changes you only need to add or
43change the packaging manifests themselves.
44
45The build rules create two repositories.  These are both built
46for DEBUG and non-DEBUG, and are thus available at
47    $CODEMGR_WS/packages/$MACH/nightly[-nd]/repo.(extra|redist)
48
49	repo.redist
50	    Contains the bulk of ON, and is what is delivered to the
51	    main OpenSolaris 'dev' and 'release' repositories.  All
52	    components delivered there must be redistributable.
53
54	repo.extra
55	    Is only built for Closed builds, and contains
56	    non-redistributable (without a proper legal agreement) pieces
57	    which may or may not be suitable for inclusion in the
58	    pkg.sun.com/opensolaris/extra repository, including the
59	    internal crypto bits necessary for working crypto in a Closed
60	    build.  Do not distribute any of the bits in repo.extra
61	    without prior agreement from the appropriate lawyers.
62
63Building Packages
64-----------------
65
66The -p option to nightly will build the IPS repositories.
67
68Alternatively, in usr/src/pkg/Makefile there are make targets for:
69
70	all
71	    Process manifests into their final form with unresolved
72	    dependencies before publication.
73
74	install
75	    Publish packages.
76
77	gendeps
78	    Run `pkgdepend resolve`.  See Dependencies section.
79
80	protocmp
81	    Compare the proto area against package definitions for
82	    missing or incorrect files.
83
84	pmodes
85	    Check file and directory modes for best practices.
86
87	check
88	    Run protocmp and pmodes.
89
90The build behavior may modified by the following variables:
91
92	CLOSED_IS_PRESENT
93	    If CLOSED_IS_PRESENT is set to "yes," repo.extra will be built.
94
95	ON_CRYPTO_BINS or CODESIGN_USER
96	    If ON_CRYPTO_BINS or CODESIGN_USER is set in your build env,
97	    no packages will depend on the internal crypto certificates.
98
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	    *** Important *** This means that, if you build using
105	    internal crypto, but you try to do an image-update with
106	    only repo.redist, you will be told that there are no
107	    updates available.
108
109	SUPPRESSPKGDEP
110	    If SUPPRESSPKGDEP is set to "true" in your environment,
111	    package dependencies will not be generated.  This variable
112	    should not be set in normal builds as it will mask product
113	    bugs.
114
115	PKGDEBUG
116	    If PKGDEBUG is set in your environment, $MAKE will print
117	    detailed information about the commands it executes to
118	    process and publish packages.
119
120	ONNV_BUILDNUM
121	    If ONNV_BUILDNUM is set to an older ON build number,
122	    your packages will be published at that version instead
123	    of the one defined in usr/src/Makefile.buildnum, which
124	    is managed by the gatekeepers.
125
126A set of intermediate build products are placed in
127usr/src/pkg/packages.$MACH/.  These can be useful during development.
128
129	.mog
130	    The resulting package manifest after running pkgmogrify(1)
131	    on the supplied manifest.  See below for details on
132	    pkgmogrify(1) use in ON.
133
134	.dep
135	    The resulting manifest after running `pkgdepend generate`
136	    on the .mog manifest.
137
138	.res
139	    The resulting manifest after running `pkgdepend resolve`
140	    on the .dep manifest.
141
142Incremental Builds
143------------------
144
145   If you want to process a subset of manifests, simply set PKGS on the
146   make command line and specify the "all" target.  If you want to process
147   them all, simply specify the "all" target.
148
149   	% dmake -e PKGS="BRCMbnx BRCMbnxe" all
150	% dmake -e all
151
152   If you want to publish a subset of packages, simply set PKGS on the
153   make command line and specify the "install" target.  Overriding PKGS
154   will cause dependency resolution to be limited to PKGS from the
155   current build, with a fallback to packages installed on the build
156   system.  If you want to publish them all, simply specify the
157   "install" target.
158
159   	% dmake -e PKGS="BRCMbnx BRCMbnxe" install
160	% dmake -e install
161
162   You can also use package names, or package names with ".pub"
163   extensions, as build targets.  This will cause processing or
164   publication of the specified package(s).
165
166   The on-disk repository will be initialized when it does not exist,
167   or when you run nightly -p.  If you build incrementally,
168   packages will simply be added to the existing repository.
169
170   To do cross-platform packaging, prefix your target with (for
171   example) "sparc/", as in "dmake sparc/install".  Note that we
172   currently pull some license files directly from a built source
173   tree, so if you do this in a workspace that had proto area copied
174   in via nightly -U, then you'll need to set $SRC to point to the
175   workspace that was actually built.
176
177Testing Packages
178----------------
179
180To test the generated repositories, you should use the "onu" tool
181available from /opt/onbld/bin or usr/src/tools/scripts/ to setup and
182upgrade your system.  A manpage is available in /opt/onbld/man
183or usr/src/tools/scripts/onu.1.
184
185Alternatively, you can manually start a pkg.depot(1M) server to
186serve the generated repositories to multiple test machines.
187
188	Start up a depot on your build machine.
189	    cd $CODEMGR_WS/packages/$MACH/nightly[-nd]
190	    /usr/lib/pkg.depotd -d repo.redist -p <port> &
191
192	    Make SURE you choose an unused port and the depot
193	    starts successfully.
194
195	    The depot can be started across NFS as well if you
196	    have a fast pipe.
197
198	    If you used internal crypto in your builds, then you must
199	    do this step for both repo.redist and repo.extra, picking
200	    different ports for each.  Otherwise, you will be unable to
201	    image-update.
202
203	Configure your test system.
204	    pkg set-publisher -P -g http://<your server host>:<port> on-nightly
205	    pkg set-publisher --non-sticky opensolaris.org
206	    pkg uninstall entire
207
208	    If you used internal crypto in your builds, then you must also:
209	        pkg set-publisher -P \
210		    -g http://<your server host>:<extra-port> on-extra
211
212	pkg image-update your test system.
213	    pkg image-update will upgrade all packages on your test system
214
215Always make sure your bits are installed with image-update.
216	Check your versions.
217	    pkg info osnet-incorporation
218
219	Multiple packages should be updated.
220	    If you did a full build, all ON packages will be updated.
221	    When image-update tells you that only one or two packages has
222	    been updated, you likely did not get the updates you expected.
223
224There are various tactics for troubleshooting a failed upgrade.
225	Make sure entire is uninstalled.
226
227	pkg install -nv osnet-incorporation@<your version>
228	    Ask IPS to explicitly check if ON can be installed, and
229	    if it can't, tell you why not.
230
231	Obsolete and renamed packages can cause trouble.
232	    pkg search -l ::pkg.renamed:true
233	    pkg search -l ::pkg.obsolete:true
234
235	Check to see if you used internal crypto, but failed to provide
236	a server for repo.extra.
237	    Use a web browser to view the system/kernel manifest from
238	    your on-nightly publisher and look for a dependency on the
239	    driver/crypto/dprov package.
240
241
242Making Packaging Changes
243------------------------
244
245Package definitions are in usr/src/pkg/manifests/, and have one
246file per package, including for multi-architecture packages.  For
247most packaging changes you only need to add or change the packaging
248manifests themselves.  No packaging metadata may be kept outside of the
249manifests. If you find yourself needing to modify usr/src/pkg/Makefile,
250you're almost certainly doing something wrong.
251
252Remember that the "check" target is available to check many of
253your packaging changes.
254
255We run pkgmogrify(1) over the manifests before publication.  This
256allows us to apply a set of macros and package transformations in
257order to make the manifests themselves easier to maintain.
258
259We supply a set of commonly-used macros for use in package manifests.
260These are the PKGMOG_DEFINES in usr/src/pkg/Makefile.
261
262	$(i386_ONLY)
263	$(sparc_ONLY)
264	$(ARCH)
265	$(ARCH32)
266	$(ARCH64)
267	$(PKGVERS), which is set to
268	   $(PKGVERS_COMPONENT),$(PKGVERS_BUILTON)-0.$(PKGVERS_BRANCH)
269
270pkgmogrify(1) also allows us to include a set of default transformations.
271The definitions for these transforms are in usr/src/pkg/transforms/.  An
272overview of their use is supplied here, but for a full accounting, please
273read pkmogrify(1) and the files themselves.
274
275	defaults
276	    This transform is applied to all manifests.  It specifies
277	    a set of sensible default permissions, a set of
278	    directory locations for which the reboot-needed actuator
279	    is always applied to files, and some other basic defaults.
280
281	publish
282	    This transform is applied to all manifests.  It ensures
283	    that manifest lines which don't apply to the current
284	    architecture are stripped.  It also ensures non-redistributable
285	    packages aren't included in an open-only build.
286
287	restart_fmri
288	    This transform is applied to all manifests.  It modifies
289	    all package manifest lines for SMF manifests in standard
290	    locations to include an actuator which runs manifest-import
291	    on installation/update/removal, as well as some others.  If
292	    you're adding a new class of file that would benefit from
293	    a restart or refresh of a specific SMF service, please add
294	    it here.
295
296	extract_metadata
297	    This transform is applied to all manifests.  It deals with
298	    manipulations required for packaging metadata like
299	    org.opensolaris.redist, pkg.renamed, and pkg.obsolete.
300
301	hollow_zone_pkg
302	    This transform is available for explicit inclusion in
303	    some manifests.  It ensures that all contents of the
304	    package are not installed within a non-global zone, but the
305	    package and its metadata are available in order to satisfy
306	    packaging dependencies.
307
308pkgmogrify(1) also allows us to use comments and continuation lines
309in our manifests.
310
311Zones and Packages
312------------------
313
314pkg(5) uses variants to implement zones.  If a package is marked
315with both global and non-global zone variants, the package contents will
316be installed in both global and non-global by default.
317	set name=variant.opensolaris.zone value=global value=nonglobal
318
319Specific actions within a package can be tagged as applying to only
320the global zone or only the non-global zones.
321
322The hollow_zone_pkg transform described above is also available to
323simplify a common packaging scenario.
324
325Dependencies
326------------
327
328Package dependencies are automatically calculated during build time
329using pkgdepend(1).  After you've done a build, you can verify your
330dependencies in the <package>.res file described above.  If the
331file is missing a dependency that you believe could be auto-detected,
332please file a bug against pkgdepend(1).
333
334Dependencies can be added manually using the "depend" action.  Please
335add a comment describing why the dependency is required.
336
337Moving Content Between Packages and Removing Content
338----------------------------------------------------
339
340pkg(5) tracks when content is removed from packages, and automatically
341removes it.
342
343If you need to move content between packages, there are two primary
344things to do.
345
346	"preserve" files must be marked with original_name.
347	    The first time a "preserve" file moves between packages,
348	    you must set original_name=<original package>:<file>
349	    in that file's action.  Subsequent moves do not require
350	    modification.
351
352	Consider adding a dependency on the new package.
353	    The only way a system will end up with a new package
354	    after upgrade is if an existing package depends on it.
355
356Renaming a Package
357------------------
358
359To rename a package, leave the old package manifest in place, but
360empty it of all delivered content.  The old package should include:
361
362	set name=pkg.fmri with the version set explicitly to the
363	    build you're integrating into.  For example, if you wanted
364	    to rename SUNWrmodu in build 133 you'd change the pkg.fmri
365	    line to read
366	    set name=pkg.fmri value=pkg:/SUNWrmodu@0.5.11,5.11-0.133
367
368	set name=pkg.renamed value=true
369
370	The architectures and variants you're renaming.  These
371	    should just be copied from your old package, as you
372	    must rename a package on all architectures and
373	    variants simultaneously.
374
375	A dependency on the new package.
376
377If there were "preserve" files in the package you're renaming, make
378sure to create original_name settings in the new package.
379
380If there was a org.opensolaris.noincorp property in the package being
381renamed, make sure you keep it in both the original and the renamed
382packages.
383
384EOFs and Removals
385-----------------
386
387To remove files, directories, drivers, or anything else within a package,
388simply stop delivering them in the package.  IPS will manage the removal
389of no longer delivered content.
390
391Package removals have impact on the rest of the system.  Before marking
392a package as obsolete, search in the OpenSolaris development
393repository (http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev or http://ipkg.sfbay/dev)
394to find out if any other packages depend on the software you intend
395to EOF.  If any packages do, you need to coordinate with those
396consolidations.
397
398The "slim_install" package may depend on ON packages.  If it does,
399you must send a FLAG DAY message for ON users and PIT who test
400install.  You must also file an installation bug to get that package
401updated in the same build or earlier than you intend to integrate.
402You should also test install yourself.  You can do this by replacing
403the "slim_install" in your Distro Constructor manifest with the
404explicit list of packages to install.
405
406To remove a package, you must mark it as obsolete.  You must *also* mark
407as obsolete any packages which are renamed ancestors of this package, and
408remove their rename dependencies.  Here is what you must do.
409
410To find rename ancestors, select all of the manifests which are renames,
411then look for the one which was renamed to the package you care about.
412For example, to find rename ancestors of 'system/zones', do the following:
413
414    $ cd usr/src/pkg/manifests
415    $ mypkgname=system/zones
416    $ grep -l "fmri=pkg:/$mypkgname@" `grep -l pkg.renamed *.mf` /dev/null
417    SUNWzone.mf
418
419Make sure to check that the package has not undergone multiple renames!
420
421    $ mypkgname=SUNWzone
422    $ grep -l "fmri=pkg:/$mypkgname@" `grep -l pkg.renamed *.mf` /dev/null
423    $
424
425Once you have the renamed ancestor list, for *each* of the packages (the
426newly obsolete package, and its renamed ancestors), edit the package as
427follows:
428
429	Update 'set name=pkg.fmri' with the version set explicitly to the
430	    build you're integrating into.  For example, if you wanted
431	    to remove SUNWwbsd in build 133 you'd change the pkg.fmri
432	    line to read:
433	    'set name=pkg.fmri value=pkg:/SUNWwbsd@0.5.11,5.11-0.133'
434
435	Add 'set name=pkg.obsolete value=true'.
436
437	Maintain the architecture and variant declarations in the
438	    package you are obsoleting.  Note that you must obsolete a
439	    package on all architectures and variants simultaneously.
440
441	Maintain 'set name=org.opensolaris.redist' actions if present.
442
443	Delete everything else.
444
445	If the package is a renamed ancestor, leave a comment behind as
446        follows:
447
448	   # Was renamed to <other-pkg-name>, both now obsolete.
449
450Here is a complete example.  SUNWfoobar was a package which was renamed
451to system/foobar in build 140, and then later obsoleted in build 150.
452Note that in all cases the package FMRI is updated to the obsoletion
453build, 150.
454
455    SUNWfoobar.mf:
456        # Was renamed to system/foobar, both now obsolete.
457        set name=pkg.fmri value=pkg:/SUNWfoobar@0.5.11,5.11-0.150
458        set name=pkg.obsolete value=true
459        set name=variant.arch value=$(ARCH)
460
461    system-foobar.mf:
462	set name=pkg.fmri value=pkg:/system/foobar@0.5.11,5.11-0.150
463	set name=pkg.obsolete value=true
464	set name=variant.arch value=$(ARCH)
465
466Creating a Package
467------------------
468
469The easiest thing is to copy a package similar to the one you're
470trying to create.  Note that packages are no longer split on the
471/usr and / boundary.
472
473The following actions are required for all packages in ON.
474	set name=pkg.fmri
475	    Every package must have an FMRI.  That is the package's
476	    name.
477
478	set name=pkg.summary
479	    Every package must have a short summary of its purpose.
480
481	set name=pkg.description
482	    Every package must have a one-sentence description of
483	    its purpose.
484
485	set name=variant.arch
486	    Every package must specify which architectures it delivers.
487
488	set name=info.classification
489	    Every package must specify a category for the packaging GUI.
490	    You must use an existing category, and may not invent new ones.
491	    Existing categories and their subcategories are listed
492	    in /usr/share/package-manager/data/opensolaris.org.sections.
493
494	license
495	    All packages must specify a set of license actions.  If
496	    you're adding items here that are not already included in
497	    usr/src/pkg/license_files, then you will also need to modify
498	    usr/src/tools/opensolaris/license-list.
499
500The following actions are uncommon but specific to ON.
501
502	set name=org.opensolaris.redist
503	    This may be set to nonredist or internal.  If a package
504	    is redistributable, do not create this action.  "internal"
505	    packages which are legally not allowed to be distributed
506	    at all are strongly discouraged.  If you're adding
507	    content to a package with this action, you should have
508	    modified bindrop.sh, and test open-only builds.
509
510You don't need to set the following.  They're taken care of for all OS/Net
511packages in the transforms/common_actions file.
512
513	set name=variant.opensolaris.zone
514	    Every package must specify whether it can be installed in
515	    global zones, non-global zones, or both.  All ON packages are
516	    delivered in both global and non-global zones.
517
518	set name=org.opensolaris.consolidation value=osnet
519	    All packages from OS/Net come from OS/Net...
520
521Drivers and Packages
522--------------------
523
524Scripting is no longer required to deal with addition or removal of
525drivers in ON.  A "driver" action should be specified for each driver,
526and IPS will handle updates to all the driver files.
527
