a while ago I rewrote inject-subiquity-snap in python, generalized it
and put it at https://github.com/mwhudson/livefs-editor. TBH, it's
always been better than the shell version but now there's a reason to
switch to it: the impish live server ISO use layers, which the current
shell scripts do not support and livefs-editor now does.
* Add new schema comparison, robust to timezone changes
Improve the schema comparison - mostly I'm worried about the
non-timezone items, spot check the timezone list for a few that should
be there.
* Incorporate feedback - pop
Impish is adding more timezones, which is cool, but breaks my schema
check, so disable this there for now and come back later with a better
answer.
Also schema check seems to need curtin.
* TimeZone: autoinstall and API
Add support for Get/Set timezone methods. Get means that we inquire
with GeoIP as to which timezone is suggested. Non-availability of
GeoIP, or a previous explicit Set, means that we return the system
timezone. Set of timezone by Post results in set of the live system
timzeone, and queuing a set of the target system by way of cloud-init.
* Add clarifying comment about _request.
Move unattended-upgrades to part of postinstall, so it can be done
before the restore_apt_config umount, which lets us get rid of the
redundant external_temp_file logic.
Add make_cloudconfig as a function that models should offer that allows
for generation of the cloud-config snippet.
Move snaplist and locale to this mechanism.
Add a test for snaplist output.
* Add element updates (non-UI)
This can be controlled with autoinstall
updates: security or all
Also an API for controlling this:
curl --silent --unix-socket .subiquity/socket a/updates ->
"security"
curl -d '"all"' --unix-socket .subiquity/socket a/updates
* Automated tests - log grep for default/none/all states
* Enforce possible values on Updates controller
Route all the various get/set thru 2 common functions.
Validate incoming data.
Continuing the theme of previous work, this branch parses pc105.tree
into API-friendly attr-based classes at snap build time (which also lets
us check some constraints then and not at run time).
This is a bit sideways from the real thing I'm working on which is
moving most of the logic of keyboard handling to the server side but
anyway. This also lets me check some assumptions while processing the
data rather than in the view code.
The first of these scripts mashes the current branch's code over that of
a pre-existing subiquity snap.
The second uses the first to mash the current branch's code over the
subiquity snap from an ISO and then creates a new ISO with this new
snap.
It's all a bit terrifying but being able to get your changes into a
bootable ISO in about 30s is quite a large improvement on building the
snap from scratch.
Accidental schema updates are unintended, so enforce that. Schema
updates that don't break API are fine, we can handle that by manually
regenerating the schema at such time.
The inject-subiquity-snap.sh script rebuilds the installer.squashfs filesystem, but does not recalculate its MD5 hash.
This leads to an error message during bootup process, complaining about one of the files being damaged, that file
being installer.squashfs.
This commit introduces an extra step to recalculate the MD5 hash of the installer.squashfs and write it into
md5sum.txt, as well as to remove the GPG signature of the installer filesystem, since it's invalid anyway.
