This is based on PackageKit, which means events, *and* we automatically
get support for any of the backends that PackageKit supports. This means
dpkg, and rpm are both first class citizens! Many other backends will
surely work, although thorough testing is left as an exercise to the
reader, or to someone who would like to write more test cases!
Unfortunately at the moment, there are a few upstream PackageKit bugs
which cause us issues, but those have been apparently resolved upstream.
If you experience issues with an old version of PackageKit, test if it
is working correctly before blaming mgmt :)
In parallel, mgmt might increase the testing surface for PackageKit, so
hopefully this makes it more robust for everyone involved!
Lastly, I'd like to point out that many great things that are typically
used for servers do start in the GNOME desktop world. Help support your
GNOME GNU/Linux desktop today!
Naming the resources "type" was a stupid mistake, and is a huge source
of confusion when also talking about real types. Fix this before it gets
out of hand.
There is an occasional hang when booting up F23 on Vagrant which causes
jenkins to wait indefinitely. This might be fixed by getting F23 back to
using eth0/eth1 in the base image.
It probably needs environment changes and other differences to be more
effective, but if anything it adds a placeholder for improvement, and
shows some solidarity with the reproducible builds project that was
started in debian.
We need to use sudo: required, and dist: trusty to avoid old versions of
bash in travis which don't support the -n argument to the `wait` shell
built-in.
We had to disable the -e checks in etcd.sh since the killall || killall
parts were causing those to trigger in travis.
This is still a dirty prototype, so please excuse the mess. Please
excuse the fact that this is a mega patch. Once things settle down this
won't happen any more.
Some of the changes squashed into here include:
* Merge vertex loop with type loop
(The file watcher seems to cache events anyways)
* Improve pgraph library
* Add indegree, outdegree, and topological sort with tests
* Add reverse function for vertex list
* Tons of additional cleanup!
Amazingly, on my first successful compile, this seemed to run!
A special thanks to Ira Cooper who helped me talk through some of the
algorithmic decisions and for his help in finding better ones!
Different versions of ruby format differently, so don't do this check
since it will invariably fail for someone. If there is a general
deterministic fix, please let me know :)
This is a prototype that i'm attempting to "release early". Expect a lot
of changes! It is intended to be a config management tool that will:
* be event based
* execute actions in parallel
* function as a distributed system
There are a bunch more design ideas going into this, please stay tuned!
