Package proper cross-compilers
a project by rguenther
Updated almost 5 years ago. 3 hacker ♥️.

openSUSE lacks useable cross-compilers to glibc systems. This is the attempt to provide those, most important a cross-compiler for arm/aarch64.

Required for this is a way to get at the sysroot prefix for an architecture, preferably by some rpm macro so the sysroot can be easily standardized by the various packages participating in the cross-toolchain.

A nice addon would be to have a convenient way to populate a sysroot with packages from an alternate repository using zypper.

      a convenient way to populate a sysroot => rpmbootstrap

      Yeah, well. I'd like to have zypper get support for alternate sysroots (it kind of already has --root, but no way to specify an alternate architecture nor to initially populate a root).

    Machines can contains various combinations of add-ons and are often modified during the time.

    The list of repos can change so I would like to create an automation able to reset the status to a given state, based on metadata available for these machines

    "autoremove" functionality for zypper by e_bischoff

    The purpose would be to have the equivalent of Ubuntu's "apt-get autoremove" functionality.

    When you install package P, it might draw in dependancies D1, D2, ... Dn automatically.

    When you later uninstall P, the dependancies D1, D2, ..., Dn might remain on your system.

    If you keep installing and uninstalling packages, after a while your system remains cluttered with things you don't need.

    The idea would be to mark all dependancies that were installed but not explicitely requested as "installed automatically". Then a command like "zypper autoremove" could remove them at once if they are not needed anymore.

    Approaches seen online

    After scouring forms for solutions these are some alias's used to replicate the functionality

    1. zypper packages --unneeded | awk -F'|' 'NR==0 || NR==1 || NR==2 || NR==3 || NR==4 {next} {print $3}' | grep -v Name | sudo xargs zypper remove --clean-deps

    2. This one is a script and has bashisms bash mapfile -t unneeded < <(zypper --quiet pa --unneeded | awk '$1 == "i" { print $5, "-", $7 }') (( ${#unneeded@]} )) && sudo zypper --quiet rm --clean-deps --details "${unneeded@]}"

    3. sudo zypper rm $(zypper pa --unneeded | awk '/i / {print $3}' FS='|' | uniq | tr -d ' ')

    Based on testing zypper packages --orphaned provides packages that are not in any repo, even if a user has explicitly installed them, so --orphaned may not be the way to go, instead focusing on --unneeded

    A CLI for Harvester by mohamed.belgaied

    [comment]: # Harvester does not officially come with a CLI tool, the user is supposed to interact with Harvester mostly through the UI [comment]: # Though it is theoretically possible to use kubectl to interact with Harvester, the manipulation of Kubevirt YAML objects is absolutely not user friendly. [comment]: # Inspired by tools like multipass from Canonical to easily and rapidly create one of multiple VMs, I began the development of Harvester CLI. Currently, it works but Harvester CLI needs some love to be up-to-date with Harvester v1.0.2 and needs some bug fixes and improvements as well.

    Project Description

    Harvester CLI is a command line interface tool written in Go, designed to simplify interfacing with a Harvester cluster as a user. It is especially useful for testing purposes as you can easily and rapidly create VMs in Harvester by providing a simple command such as: harvester vm create my-vm --count 5 to create 5 VMs named my-vm-01 to my-vm-05.

    asciicast

    Harvester CLI is functional but needs a number of improvements: up-to-date functionality with Harvester v1.0.2 (some minor issues right now), modifying the default behaviour to create an opensuse VM instead of an ubuntu VM, solve some bugs, etc.

    Github Repo for Harvester CLI: https://github.com/belgaied2/harvester-cli

    Done in previous Hackweeks

    • Create a Github actions pipeline to automatically integrate Harvester CLI to Homebrew repositories: DONE
    • Automatically package Harvester CLI for OpenSUSE / Redhat RPMs or DEBs: DONE

    Goal for this Hackweek

    The goal for this Hackweek is to bring Harvester CLI up-to-speed with latest Harvester versions (v1.3.X and v1.4.X), and improve the code quality as well as implement some simple features and bug fixes.

    Some nice additions might be: * Improve handling of namespaced objects * Add features, such as network management or Load Balancer creation ? * Add more unit tests and, why not, e2e tests * Improve CI * Improve the overall code quality * Test the program and create issues for it

    Issue list is here: https://github.com/belgaied2/harvester-cli/issues

    Resources

    The project is written in Go, and using client-go the Kubernetes Go Client libraries to communicate with the Harvester API (which is Kubernetes in fact). Welcome contributions are:

    • Testing it and creating issues
    • Documentation
    • Go code improvement
