In addition to significant internal differences in check_site_lib.lua (in
particular unifying error handling to a single place for the upcoming
multi-domain support), this changes the way fields are addressed in site
check scripts: rather than providing a string like 'next_node.ip6', the
path is passed as an array {'next_node', 'ip6'}.
Other changes in site check scripts:
* need_array and need_table now pass the full path to the sub fields to the
subcheck instead of the key and value
* Any check referring to a field inside a table implies that all higher
levels must be tables if they exist: a check for {'next_node', 'ip6'} adds
an implicit (optional) check for {'next_node'}, which allows to remove many
explicit checks for such tables
We would like to check the file size instead of downloading indefinitely.
The file size is added in another copy of the manifest lines, which is
ignored by older autoupdater implementations.
To reduce the number of packages that need to be listed in
GLUON_SITE_PACKAGES, this adds a new variable GLUON_FEATURES. Sets of
packages are enabled automatically based on the combination of listed
feature flags.
Site-specified package feeds can provide their own feature flag
definitions.
The current autoupdater will only respect the last line for a given model
name, so we can add SHA256 checksums as long as they occur before the
corresponding SHA512 line.
The default abbreviation length depends on factors like user configuration,
git version and number of repository objects. Use unabbreviates IDs to make
patch generation more reproducible.
need_one_of(varname, array, required) checks weather the value of the specified variable is part of given array.
need_array_of(varname, array, required) is similar to need_one_of() but assume that varname points to an array.
Switching branches and applying patches in the build repos will
unnecessarily touch many files, causing rebuilds of packages that didn't
really change; furthermore, it is filling the reflog with many entries.
Don't ever switch to base branch in the build repos and apply patches in
a temporary clone to avoid these issues.
In addition, GPG signing is generally disabled in the build repos to
override potential global configuration (as signing doesn't make sense and
will slow down rebases).
This option will make the generated commit IDs deterministic, greatly
reducing the number of repository objects created when calling `make
update` repeatedly.
