66 on alpine linux

pramodvu

@vixalien Are you already planning for something similar? Will I be stepping on your toes?

BTW, I didn't find any documentation on install_if...
I want to make sure that for every $package on the system with daemons, just like $package-openrc is also installed, but only if openrc itself is installed, I want to do for 66

vixalien

Sorry, I'm not working on anything similar. My preferred approach would be to just port over the default services present in a base alpine install instead of doing everything from scratch, but it's okay.

If you add install_if="66", then that (sub)package will be automatically installed when 66 is installed.

thanks on your work btw

I plan to,

Create APKBUILDs for every 66 frontend available... (or a set of frontends for a package)
In the APKBUILDs, for every package daemon-66 I will add install_if="daemon 66" e.g. dhcpcd-66 will have install_if="dhcpcd 66"
This will match the behaviour of the (many) daemon-openrc packages...

vixalien thanks on your work btw

I'm extremely sorry to inform that I am having personal setbacks... I might not be able to do everything as soon as expected... But I'll try my best...

Kindly append to 66's optional dependenies (need to be pulled automatically similar to install_if dependenies) the packages like s6-networking s6-portable-utils 66-tools to ensure that every frontend will have these really basic tools available without pulling a dependency. Of course, they should be maskable via apk add !s6-linux-utils if someone uses 66 without needing them...

I am away from any computer for quite a few days, sorry... Kindly proceed... Good Luck

I will start packaging. Soon.

As to what frontends excatly to package, what are needed, etc... I am referring https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages?name=*openrc*

As required I'll add new frontends to (sub)repos under 66-service/Alpine...

Hello @eric

I have updated the on suite in https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/merge_requests/85062.

Maybe you can check if it makes sense for the switch to meson. Notably weird is that docs and tests are not built by default with meson.

Just found a bug with the meson build system, the 66-shutdownd program is installed to /usr/libexec path instead of /usr/bin which create crash at boot and shut down time.
I'm currently managing it creating a hot fix release (0.8.2.1).

I will not follow skarnet on this: https://github.com/skarnet/s6/commit/7dda4a124069438acb19a419a088f5c1ab9b4670
adding more and more sh script to maintain and debug.
Meson is clean, widely used, easy to maintain, to debug and easier for vendor concerning cross compilation. So for me it make perfect sense. It's just a matter of choice.

It's a matter of choice too. Maybe i'm wrong for this one....

vixalien

Hey the switch to Meson is actually really great. It's much more familiar and predictable.

I think tests should be built by default. Docs is another topic, but maybe it should be built automatically when lowdown is installed
