  To: openembedded-core

The wic utility will no longer be integrated into the oe-core
repository. However, the wic utility will continue to exist under The
Yocto Project umbrella. This will allow wic to be more easily used
independently of bitbake and oe-core.

The new home of wic is: 
        https://git.yoctoproject.org/wic

These changes have been tested with oe-selftest as follows:
        $ sudo .../layers/openembedded-core/scripts/runqemu-gen-tapdevs <my numeric group id> 4
        $ oe-selftest -r wic 

The original patchset contained several more patches. Two patches that
were part of this set have already been accepted into oe-core, and
several patches that added "--vars <envfile>" options to many wic
invocations in the oe-selftests are no longer needed.

The order of the patches in this patchset is entirely different from
the order of the patches in previous patchsets. Although it had been
decided that it would be okay if patches in this series break the build
(then fix the build in later patches), it was pointed out that using
a different order would minimize (or eliminate) and breakages while
continuing to make small, incremental changes.

This version differs from previous versions as follows:
- the patch to provide the sector-size via the cmdline has already been
  accepted, therefore it is dropped from this patchset
- a patch to fix a long-standing sparse_copy() bug was accepted into
  oe-core already, therefore no changes are needed in this patchset to
  work around the issue
- wic will continue to look in `wic` and `scripts/lib/wic/canned-wks`
  directories for *wks files
- use bitbake to learn variable values if bitbake is available, previous
  patchsets refused to use bitbake to discover variable values and 
  insisted on always using a --vars file, even if the bitbake program
  was available
- by continuing to use bitbake (if available) most of the patches to
  tweak the oe-selftests are no longer required (since they are run in
  an environment where bitbake is available)
- reorder the patches in this series to minimize build breakages

In v8 the only patch was to upstream the sector-size cmdline option.

In v7 the code was changed to work around the sparse_copy() bug. That
bug was root-caused and sent upstream independently.

Changes in v6: 
- many code and comment changes based on feedback from v5 on the mailing
  list
- this version included many updates to add a cmdline argument for 
  sector-size, this support was added upstream independently
- a patch to add a ufs bbclass was dropped
- move the canned-wks files before removing wic so the histories of
  these files are preserved

Changes in v5: 
- rebased on latest master
- split commits out to make them easier to review
- a patch to add sector-size on the cmdline was added

Changes in v4: 
- deprecate but allow sector-size to be set via WIC_SECTOR_SIZE
- change partition type of sample wks file to gpt 

Changes in v3: 
- squash all commits into one 
- take another crack at trying to fix a warning if wic is not being used

Changes in v2: 
- try to fix a build warning when not using wic 
- add Mark as co-author of ufs class
- add wic utility to the list of native dependencies of
  image_types_wic.bbclass

Add a recipe for the external wic utility from
https://git.yoctoproject.org/wic. Add wic to the list of native
wic-tools, and make it a dependency of the image bbclass for wic images.

Add myself as maintainer for this new recipe, as well as the wic-tools
recipe (which did not have a maintainer).

NOTE: this patch is in preparation for removing wic from oe-core
      the wic oe-selftests work fine with this patch being added now

changes in v9:
- updated SRCREV as required (the standalone wic repository has
  different commits)
- updated commit message to indicate the change of maintainership

changes in v8:
- (skipped, the patch to add sector-size cmdline arg was upstreamed)

changes in v7:
- bump SRCREV to include a work-around for wic.Wic2.test_expand_mbr_image
- changelog:
        exec_cmd(): allow multiple success codes

changes in v6:
- the SRCREV was updated since any changes/revisions before the removal
  need to be reflected in the repository

changes in v5:
- rebase with master
- split patchset back out into smaller patches
- do not add TOPDIR and WIC_SECTOR_SIZE to image_types_wic.bbclass if a
  user wants them, they can add them to WICVARS in their config

changes in v4:
- (skipped)

changes in v3:
- squashed into one large patch

changes in v2:
- add wic as a native dependency of the image_types_wic.bbclass

The wic oe-selftest defines its own class (WicTestCase) for handling
setup, teardown, and various other pieces needed to run the individual
wic oe-selftests. As part of oe-core, the wic.CLITests do not need
setup and teardown. However, once wic is no longer part of oe-core, the
oe-selftests will need to know where to find wic that comes from a
recipe. Update PATH so wic will be available.

NOTE: this patch is in preparation for removing wic from oe-core
      the wic oe-selftests work fine with this patch being added now

Delete the wic.Wic2.test_sparse_copy test since it tests code that is
internal to wic itself. Once wic is removed from oe-core it will not be
possible to test this function from this layer.

NOTE: this patch is in preparation for removing wic from oe-core
      the wic oe-selftests work fine with this patch being added now

changes in v9:
- in previous patchsets this was known as patch 9/9
  "oe-selftest/cases/wic.py: oe-selftest -r wic.Wic2 -> PASS"
- previously this patch also included many modifications to the wic
  oe-selftests to add a "--vars <envfile>" option; those are no longer
  needed since wic will use bitbake to get variables if bitbake is
  available on the PATH

changes in v8:
- (skipped, the only patch in v8 was to upstream the sector-size cmdline
  option)

changes in v7:
- none

changes in v6:
- removed extraopts options that specify sector-size values for dos and
  ext* partition types

changes in v5:
- rebase with master
- re-split up into multiple, smaller patches
- now that the sector-size re-implementation is ahead of this patch,
  various wic subcommands (ls, cp, rm) no longer need a --vars file
- combine qemu and non-qemu patches together (were separate patches)

v4: skipped to align/combine with other patch set

changes in v3:
- squashed into 1 large commit

changes in v2:
- none

* [PATCH v9 4/5] wic: move canned *wks files

  To: openembedded-core; +Cc: Bruce Ashfield, Mark Hatle

When "wic create ..." is invoked with a bare *wks name (i.e. without the
`.wks` extension), wic calls engine.py:find_canned_images() to find the
fully qualified *wks file. This function searches every directory formed by:
    - permutating all BBLAYERS with `/wic`
    - permutating all BBLAYERS with `/scripts/lib/wic/canned-wks`
    - checking `<scripts_path>/lib/wic/canned-wks`
Where `<scripts_path>` is the directory containing the wic program.

When wic is part of oe-core, the last search path succeeds in finding
the canned *wks files in `<topdir>/scripts/lib/wic/canned-wks` (since
the wic program is found in oe-core's `<topdir>/scripts` directory, and
`<topdir>/scripts` is not a BBLAYER).

However, once wic is removed from oe-core, this algorithm will not find
these bare *wks files in any of the above-mentioned search paths since
the oe-core layer will no longer be the home of the wic program, and the
canned *wks files are not located in any directory relative to BBLAYERS.

Since these *wks files are specific to oe-core's meta layer, they should
stay with this layer. Therefore move the *wks files so they exist in one
of the locations searched relative to oe-core/meta's BBLAYERS.

NOTE: this patch is in preparation for removing wic from oe-core
      the wic oe-selftests work fine with this patch being added now

The wic utility will no longer be integrated into the oe-core
repository. However, the wic utility will continue to exist under The
Yocto Project umbrella. This will allow wic to be more easily used
independently of bitbake and oe-core.

The primary repository for standalone wic will be:
	https://git.yoctoproject.org/wic

-
-DESCRIPTION
-    This command creates an OpenEmbedded image based on the 'OE
-    kickstart commands' found in the <wks file>.
-
-    Use the --sector-size option to select the sector size (in bytes)
-    used for partition layout calculations (default is 512).
-
-    In order to do this, wic needs to know the locations of the
-    various build artifacts required to build the image.
-
-    Users can explicitly specify the build artifact locations using
-    the -r, -b, -k, and -n options.  See below for details on where
-    the corresponding artifacts are typically found in a normal
-    OpenEmbedded build.
-
-    Alternatively, users can use the -e option to have 'wic' determine
-    those locations for a given image.  If the -e option is used, the
-    user needs to have set the appropriate MACHINE variable in
-    local.conf, and have sourced the build environment.
-
-    The -e option is used to specify the name of the image to use the
-    artifacts from e.g. core-image-sato.
-
-    The -r option is used to specify the path to the /rootfs dir to
-    use as the .wks rootfs source.
-
-    The -b option is used to specify the path to the dir containing
-    the boot artifacts (e.g. /EFI or /syslinux dirs) to use as the
-    .wks bootimg source.
-
-    The -k option is used to specify the path to the dir containing
-    the kernel to use in the .wks bootimg.
-
-    The -n option is used to specify the path to the native sysroot
-    containing the tools to use to build the image.
-
-    The -f option is used to build rootfs by running "bitbake <image>"
-
-    The -s option is used to skip the build check.  The build check is
-    a simple sanity check used to determine whether the user has
-    sourced the build environment so that the -e option can operate
-    correctly.  If the user has specified the build artifact locations
-    explicitly, 'wic' assumes the user knows what he or she is doing
-    and skips the build check.
-
-    The -D option is used to display debug information detailing
-    exactly what happens behind the scenes when a create request is
-    fulfilled (or not, as the case may be).  It enumerates and
-    displays the command sequence used, and should be included in any
-    bug report describing unexpected results.
-
-    When 'wic -e' is used, the locations for the build artifacts
-    values are determined by 'wic -e' from the output of the 'bitbake
-    -e' command given an image name e.g. 'core-image-minimal' and a
-    given machine set in local.conf.  In that case, the image is
-    created as if the following 'bitbake -e' variables were used:
-
-    -r:        IMAGE_ROOTFS
-    -k:        STAGING_KERNEL_DIR
-    -n:        STAGING_DIR_NATIVE
-    -b:        empty (plugin-specific handlers must determine this)
-
-    If 'wic -e' is not used, the user needs to select the appropriate
-    value for -b (as well as -r, -k, and -n).
-
-    The -o option can be used to place the image in a directory with a
-    different name and location.
-
-    The -c option is used to specify compressor utility to compress
-    an image. gzip, bzip2 and xz compressors are supported.
-
-    The -m option is used to produce .bmap file for the image. This file
-    can be used to flash image using bmaptool utility.
-
-    The --no-fstab-update option is used to doesn't change fstab file. When
-    using this option the final fstab file will be same that in rootfs and
-    wic doesn't update file, e.g adding a new mount point. User can control
-    the fstab file content in base-files recipe.

-NAME
-    wic plugins - Overview and API
-
-DESCRIPTION
-    plugins allow wic functionality to be extended and specialized by
-    users.  This section documents the plugin interface, which is
-    currently restricted to 'source' plugins.
-
-    'Source' plugins provide a mechanism to customize various aspects
-    of the image generation process in wic, mainly the contents of
-    partitions.
-
-    Source plugins provide a mechanism for mapping values specified in
-    .wks files using the --source keyword to a particular plugin
-    implementation that populates a corresponding partition.
-
-    A source plugin is created as a subclass of SourcePlugin (see
-    scripts/lib/wic/pluginbase.py) and the plugin file containing it
-    is added to scripts/lib/wic/plugins/source/ to make the plugin
-    implementation available to the wic implementation.
-
-    Source plugins can also be implemented and added by external
-    layers - any plugins found in a scripts/lib/wic/plugins/source/
-    or lib/wic/plugins/source/ directory in an external layer will
-    also be made available.
-
-    When the wic implementation needs to invoke a partition-specific
-    implementation, it looks for the plugin that has the same name as
-    the --source param given to that partition.  For example, if the
-    partition is set up like this:
-
-      part /boot --source bootimg_pcbios   ...
-
-    then the methods defined as class members of the plugin having the
-    matching bootimg_pcbios .name class member would be used.
-
-    To be more concrete, here's the plugin definition that would match
-    a '--source bootimg_pcbios' usage, along with an example method
-    that would be called by the wic implementation when it needed to
-    invoke an implementation-specific partition-preparation function:
-
-    class BootimgPcbiosPlugin(SourcePlugin):
-        name = 'bootimg_pcbios'
-
-    @classmethod
-        def do_prepare_partition(self, part, ...)
-
-    If the subclass itself doesn't implement a function, a 'default'
-    version in a superclass will be located and used, which is why all
-    plugins must be derived from SourcePlugin.
-
-    The SourcePlugin class defines the following methods, which is the
-    current set of methods that can be implemented/overridden by
-    --source plugins.  Any methods not implemented by a SourcePlugin
-    subclass inherit the implementations present in the SourcePlugin
-    class (see the SourcePlugin source for details):
-
-      do_prepare_partition()
-          Called to do the actual content population for a
-          partition. In other words, it 'prepares' the final partition
-          image which will be incorporated into the disk image.
-
-      do_post_partition()
-          Called after the partition is created. It is useful to add post
-          operations e.g. signing the partition.
-
-      do_configure_partition()
-          Called before do_prepare_partition(), typically used to
-          create custom configuration files for a partition, for
-          example syslinux or grub config files.
-
-      do_install_disk()
-          Called after all partitions have been prepared and assembled
-          into a disk image.  This provides a hook to allow
-          finalization of a disk image, for example to write an MBR to
-          it.
-
-      do_stage_partition()
-          Special content-staging hook called before
-          do_prepare_partition(), normally empty.
-
-          Typically, a partition will just use the passed-in
-          parameters, for example the unmodified value of bootimg_dir.
-          In some cases however, things may need to be more tailored.
-          As an example, certain files may additionally need to be
-          take from bootimg_dir + /boot.  This hook allows those files
-          to be staged in a customized fashion.  Note that
-          get_bitbake_var() allows you to access non-standard
-          variables that you might want to use for these types of
-          situations.
-
-    This scheme is extensible - adding more hooks is a simple matter
-    of adding more plugin methods to SourcePlugin and derived classes.
-    Please see the implementation for details.

-NAME
-    wic overview - General overview of wic
-
-DESCRIPTION
-    The 'wic' command generates partitioned images from existing
-    OpenEmbedded build artifacts.  Image generation is driven by
-    partitioning commands contained in an 'Openembedded kickstart'
-    (.wks) file (see 'wic help kickstart') specified either directly
-    on the command-line or as one of a selection of canned .wks files
-    (see 'wic list images').  When applied to a given set of build
-    artifacts, the result is an image or set of images that can be
-    directly written onto media and used on a particular system.
-
-    The 'wic' command and the infrastructure it's based on is by
-    definition incomplete - its purpose is to allow the generation of
-    customized images, and as such was designed to be completely
-    extensible via a plugin interface (see 'wic help plugins').
-
-  Background and Motivation
-
-    wic is meant to be a completely independent standalone utility
-    that initially provides easier-to-use and more flexible
-    replacements for a couple bits of existing functionality in
-    oe-core: directdisk.bbclass and mkefidisk.sh.  The difference
-    between wic and those examples is that with wic the functionality
-    of those scripts is implemented by a general-purpose partitioning
-    'language' based on Red Hat kickstart syntax).
-
-    The initial motivation and design considerations that lead to the
-    current tool are described exhaustively in Yocto Bug #3847
-    (https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3847).
-
-  Implementation and Examples
-
-    wic can be used in two different modes, depending on how much
-    control the user needs in specifying the Openembedded build
-    artifacts that will be used in creating the image: 'raw' and
-    'cooked'.
-
-    If used in 'raw' mode, artifacts are explicitly specified via
-    command-line arguments (see example below).
-
-    The more easily usable 'cooked' mode uses the current MACHINE
-    setting and a specified image name to automatically locate the
-    artifacts used to create the image.
-
-    OE kickstart files (.wks) can of course be specified directly on
-    the command-line, but the user can also choose from a set of
-    'canned' .wks files available via the 'wic list images' command
-    (example below).
-
-    In any case, the prerequisite for generating any image is to have
-    the build artifacts already available.  The below examples assume
-    the user has already build a 'core-image-minimal' for a specific
-    machine (future versions won't require this redundant step, but
-    for now that's typically how build artifacts get generated).
-
-    The other prerequisite is to source the build environment:
-
-      $ source oe-init-build-env
-
-    To start out with, we'll generate an image from one of the canned
-    .wks files.  The following generates a list of availailable
-    images:
-
-      $ wic list images
-        mkefidisk             Create an EFI disk image
-        directdisk            Create a 'pcbios' direct disk image
-
-    You can get more information about any of the available images by
-    typing 'wic list xxx help', where 'xxx' is one of the image names:
-
-      $ wic list mkefidisk help
-
-    Creates a partitioned EFI disk image that the user can directly dd
-    to boot media.
-
-    At any time, you can get help on the 'wic' command or any
-    subcommand (currently 'list' and 'create').  For instance, to get
-    the description of 'wic create' command and its parameters:
-
-      $ wic create
-
-       Usage:
-
-       Create a new OpenEmbedded image
-
-       usage: wic create <wks file or image name> [-o <DIRNAME> | ...]
-            [-i <JSON PROPERTY FILE> | --infile <JSON PROPERTY_FILE>]
-            [-e | --image-name] [-s, --skip-build-check] [-D, --debug]
-            [-r, --rootfs-dir] [-b, --bootimg-dir] [-k, --kernel-dir]
-            [-n, --native-sysroot] [-f, --build-rootfs]
-
-       This command creates an OpenEmbedded image based on the 'OE
-       kickstart commands' found in the <wks file>.
-
-       The -o option can be used to place the image in a directory
-       with a different name and location.
-
-       See 'wic help create' for more detailed instructions.
-       ...
-
-    As mentioned in the command, you can get even more detailed
-    information by adding 'help' to the above:
-
-      $ wic help create
-
-    So, the easiest way to create an image is to use the -e option
-    with a canned .wks file.  To use the -e option, you need to
-    specify the image used to generate the artifacts and you actually
-    need to have the MACHINE used to build them specified in your
-    local.conf (these requirements aren't necessary if you aren't
-    using the -e options.)  Below, we generate a directdisk image,
-    pointing the process at the core-image-minimal artifacts for the
-    current MACHINE:
-
-      $ wic create directdisk -e core-image-minimal
-
-      Checking basic build environment...
-      Done.
-
-      Creating image(s)...
-
-      Info: The new image(s) can be found here:
-      /var/tmp/wic/build/directdisk-201309252350-sda.direct
-
-      The following build artifacts were used to create the image(s):
-
-      ROOTFS_DIR:      ...
-      BOOTIMG_DIR:     ...
-      KERNEL_DIR:      ...
-      NATIVE_SYSROOT:  ...
-
-      The image(s) were created using OE kickstart file:
-        .../scripts/lib/wic/canned-wks/directdisk.wks
-
-    The output shows the name and location of the image created, and
-    so that you know exactly what was used to generate the image, each
-    of the artifacts and the kickstart file used.
-
-    Similarly, you can create a 'mkefidisk' image in the same way
-    (notice that this example uses a different machine - because it's
-    using the -e option, you need to change the MACHINE in your
-    local.conf):
-
-      $ wic create mkefidisk -e core-image-minimal
-      Checking basic build environment...
-      Done.
-
-      Creating image(s)...
-
-      Info: The new image(s) can be found here:
-         /var/tmp/wic/build/mkefidisk-201309260027-sda.direct
-
-      ...
-
-    Here's an example that doesn't take the easy way out and manually
-    specifies each build artifact, along with a non-canned .wks file,
-    and also uses the -o option to have wic create the output
-    somewhere other than the default /var/tmp/wic:
-
-      $ wic create ./test.wks -o ./out --rootfs-dir
-      tmp/work/qemux86_64-poky-linux/core-image-minimal/1.0-r0/rootfs
-      --bootimg-dir tmp/sysroots/qemux86-64/usr/share
-      --kernel-dir tmp/deploy/images/qemux86-64
-      --native-sysroot tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux
-
-     Creating image(s)...
-
-     Info: The new image(s) can be found here:
-           out/build/test-201507211313-sda.direct
-
-     The following build artifacts were used to create the image(s):
-       ROOTFS_DIR:                   tmp/work/qemux86_64-poky-linux/core-image-minimal/1.0-r0/rootfs
-       BOOTIMG_DIR:                  tmp/sysroots/qemux86-64/usr/share
-       KERNEL_DIR:                   tmp/deploy/images/qemux86-64
-       NATIVE_SYSROOT:               tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux
-
-     The image(s) were created using OE kickstart file:
-     ./test.wks
-
-     Here is a content of test.wks:
-
-     part /boot --source bootimg_pcbios --ondisk sda --label boot --active --align 1024
-     part / --source rootfs --ondisk sda --fstype=ext3 --label platform --align 1024
-
-     bootloader  --timeout=0  --append="rootwait rootfstype=ext3 video=vesafb vga=0x318 console=tty0"
-
-
-    Finally, here's an example of the actual partition language
-    commands used to generate the mkefidisk image i.e. these are the
-    contents of the mkefidisk.wks OE kickstart file:
-
-      # short-description: Create an EFI disk image
-      # long-description: Creates a partitioned EFI disk image that the user
-      # can directly dd to boot media.
-
-      part /boot --source bootimg-efi --ondisk sda --fstype=efi --active
-
-      part / --source rootfs --ondisk sda --fstype=ext3 --label platform

-
-      bootloader  --timeout=10  --append="rootwait console=ttyPCH0,115200"
-
-    You can get a complete listing and description of all the
-    kickstart commands available for use in .wks files from 'wic help

-NAME
-    wic kickstart - wic kickstart reference
-
-DESCRIPTION
-    This section provides the definitive reference to the wic
-    kickstart language.  It also provides documentation on the list of
-    --source plugins available for use from the 'part' command (see
-    the 'Platform-specific Plugins' section below).
-
-    The current wic implementation supports only the basic kickstart
-    partitioning commands: partition (or part for short) and
-    bootloader.
-
-    The following is a listing of the commands, their syntax, and
-    meanings. The commands are based on the Fedora kickstart
-    documentation but with modifications to reflect wic capabilities.
-
-      https://pykickstart.readthedocs.io/en/latest/kickstart-docs.html#part-or-partition
-      https://pykickstart.readthedocs.io/en/latest/kickstart-docs.html#bootloader
-
-  Commands
-
-    * 'part' or 'partition'
-
-       This command creates a partition on the system and uses the
-       following syntax:
-
-         part [<mountpoint>]
-
-       The <mountpoint> is where the partition will be mounted and
-       must take of one of the following forms:
-
-         /<path>: For example: /, /usr, or /home
-
-         swap: The partition will be used as swap space.
-
-       If a <mountpoint> is not specified the partition will be created
-       but will not be mounted.
-
-       Partitions with a <mountpoint> specified will be automatically mounted.
-       This is achieved by wic adding entries to the fstab during image
-       generation. In order for a valid fstab to be generated one of the
-       --ondrive, --ondisk, --use-uuid or --use-label partition options must
-       be used for each partition that specifies a mountpoint.  Note that with
-       --use-{uuid,label} and non-root <mountpoint>, including swap, the mount
-       program must understand the PARTUUID or LABEL syntax.  This currently
-       excludes the busybox versions of these applications.
-
-
-       The following are supported 'part' options:
-
-         --size: The minimum partition size. Specify an integer value
-                 such as 500. Multipliers k, M ang G can be used. If
-                 not specified, the size is in MB.
-                 You do not need this option if you use --source.
-
-         --fixed-size: Exact partition size. Value format is the same
-                       as for --size option. This option cannot be
-                       specified along with --size. If partition data
-                       is larger than --fixed-size and error will be
-                       raised when assembling disk image.
-
-         --source: This option is a wic-specific option that names the
-                   source of the data that will populate the
-                   partition.  The most common value for this option
-                   is 'rootfs', but can be any value which maps to a
-                   valid 'source plugin' (see 'wic help plugins').
-
-                   If '--source rootfs' is used, it tells the wic
-                   command to create a partition as large as needed
-                   and to fill it with the contents of the root
-                   filesystem pointed to by the '-r' wic command-line
-                   option (or the equivalent rootfs derived from the
-                   '-e' command-line option).  The filesystem type
-                   that will be used to create the partition is driven
-                   by the value of the --fstype option specified for
-                   the partition (see --fstype below).
-
-                   If --source <plugin-name>' is used, it tells the
-                   wic command to create a partition as large as
-                   needed and to fill with the contents of the
-                   partition that will be generated by the specified
-                   plugin name using the data pointed to by the '-r'
-                   wic command-line option (or the equivalent rootfs
-                   derived from the '-e' command-line option).
-                   Exactly what those contents and filesystem type end
-                   up being are dependent on the given plugin
-                   implementation.
-
-                   If --source option is not used, the wic command
-                   will create empty partition. --size parameter has
-                   to be used to specify size of empty partition.
-
-         --sourceparams: This option is specific to wic. Supply additional
-                         parameters to the source plugin in
-                         key1=value1,key2 format.
-
-         --ondisk or --ondrive: Forces the partition to be created on
-                                a particular disk.
-
-         --fstype: Sets the file system type for the partition.  These
-           apply to partitions created using '--source rootfs' (see
-           --source above).  Valid values are:
-
-             vfat
-             msdos
-             ext2
-             ext3
-             ext4
-             btrfs
-             squashfs
-             erofs
-             swap
-             none
-
-         --fsoptions: Specifies a free-form string of options to be
-                      used when mounting the filesystem. This string
-                      will be copied into the /etc/fstab file of the
-                      installed system and should be enclosed in
-                      quotes.  If not specified, the default string is
-                      "defaults".
-
-         --fspassno: Specifies the order in which filesystem checks are done
-                     at boot time by fsck.  See fs_passno parameter of
-                     fstab(5).  This parameter will be copied into the
-                     /etc/fstab file of the installed system.  If not
-                     specified the default value of "0" will be used.
-
-         --label label: Specifies the label to give to the filesystem
-                        to be made on the partition. If the given
-                        label is already in use by another filesystem,
-                        a new label is created for the partition.
-
-         --use-label: This option is specific to wic. It makes wic to use the
-                      label in /etc/fstab to specify a partition. If the
-                      --use-label and --use-uuid are used at the same time,
-                      we prefer the uuid because it is less likely to cause
-                      name confliction. We don't support using this parameter
-                      on the root partition since it requires an initramfs to
-                      parse this value and we do not currently support that.
-
-         --active: Marks the partition as active.
-
-         --align (in KBytes): This option is specific to wic and says
-                              to start a partition on an x KBytes
-                              boundary.
-
-         --offset: This option is specific to wic that says to place a partition
-                   at exactly the specified offset. If the partition cannot be
-                   placed at the specified offset, the image build will fail.
-                   Specify as an integer value optionally followed by one of the
-                   units s/S for 512 byte sector, k/K for kibibyte, M for
-                   mebibyte and G for gibibyte. The default unit if none is
-                   given is k.
-
-         --no-table: This option is specific to wic. Space will be
-                     reserved for the partition and it will be
-                     populated but it will not be added to the
-                     partition table. It may be useful for
-                     bootloaders.
-
-         --exclude-path: This option is specific to wic. It excludes the given
-                         relative path from the resulting image. If the path
-                         ends with a slash, only the content of the directory
-                         is omitted, not the directory itself. This option only
-                         has an effect with the rootfs source plugin.
-
-         --include-path: This option is specific to wic. It adds the contents
-                         of the given path or a rootfs to the resulting image.
-                         The option contains two fields, the origin and the
-                         destination. When the origin is a rootfs, it follows
-                         the same logic as the rootfs-dir argument and the
-                         permissions and owners are kept. When the origin is a
-                         path, it is relative to the directory in which wic is
-                         running not the rootfs itself so use of an absolute
-                         path is recommended, and the owner and group is set to
-                         root:root. If no destination is given it is
-                         automatically set to the root of the rootfs. This
-                         option only has an effect with the rootfs source
-                         plugin.
-
-         --change-directory: This option is specific to wic. It changes to the
-                             given directory before copying the files. This
-                             option is useful when we want to split a rootfs in
-                             multiple partitions and we want to keep the right
-                             permissions and usernames in all the partitions.
-
-         --no-fstab-update: This option is specific to wic. It does not update the
-                            '/etc/fstab' stock file for the given partition.
-
-         --extra-filesystem-space: This option is specific to wic. It adds extra
-                                   space after the space filled by the content
-                                   of the partition. The final size can go
-                                   beyond the size specified by --size.
-                                   By default, 10MB. This option cannot be used
-                                   with --fixed-size option.
-
-         --extra-partition-space: This option is specific to wic. It adds extra
-                                  empty space after the space filled by the
-                                  filesystem. With --fixed-size, the extra
-                                  partition space is removed from the filesystem
-                                  size. Otherwise (with or without --size flag),
-                                  the extra partition space is added to the final
-                                  paritition size. The default value is 0MB.
-
-         --overhead-factor: This option is specific to wic. The
-                            size of the partition is multiplied by
-                            this factor. It has to be greater than or
-                            equal to 1. The default value is 1.3.
-                            This option cannot be used with --fixed-size
-                            option.
-
-         --part-name: This option is specific to wic. It specifies name for GPT partitions.
-
-         --part-type: This option is specific to wic. It specifies partition
-                      type GUID for GPT partitions.
-                      List of partition type GUIDS can be found here:
-                      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table#Partition_type_GUIDs
-
-         --use-uuid: This option is specific to wic. It makes wic to generate
-                     random globally unique identifier (GUID) for the partition
-                     and use it in bootloader configuration to specify root partition.
-
-         --uuid: This option is specific to wic. It specifies partition UUID.
-                 It's useful if preconfigured partition UUID is added to kernel command line
-                 in bootloader configuration before running wic. In this case .wks file can
-                 be generated or modified to set preconfigured parition UUID using this option.
-
-         --fsuuid: This option is specific to wic. It specifies filesystem UUID.
-                   It's useful if preconfigured filesystem UUID is added to kernel command line
-                   in bootloader configuration before running wic. In this case .wks file can
-                   be generated or modified to set preconfigured filesystem UUID using this option.
-
-         --system-id: This option is specific to wic. It specifies partition system id. It's useful
-                      for the harware that requires non-default partition system ids. The parameter
-                      in one byte long hex number either with 0x prefix or without it.
-
-         --mkfs-extraopts: This option specifies extra options to pass to mkfs utility.
-                           NOTE, that wic uses default options for some filesystems, for example
-                           '-S 512' for mkfs.fat or '-F -i 8192' for mkfs.ext. Those options will
-                           not take effect when --mkfs-extraopts is used. This should be taken into
-                           account when using --mkfs-extraopts.
-
-         --type: This option is specific to wic. Valid values are 'primary',
-                 'logical'. For msdos partition tables, this option specifies
-                 the partition type.
-
-         --hidden: This option is specific to wic. This option sets the
-                   RequiredPartition bit (bit 0) on GPT partitions.
-
-         --mbr: This option is specific to wic. This option is used with the
-                gpt-hybrid partition type that uses both a GPT partition and
-                an MBR header. Partitions with this flag will be included in
-                this MBR header.
-
-    * bootloader
-
-      This command allows the user to specify various bootloader
-      options.  The following are supported 'bootloader' options:
-
-        --timeout: Specifies the number of seconds before the
-                   bootloader times out and boots the default option.
-
-        --append: Specifies kernel parameters. These will be added to
-                  bootloader command-line - for example, the syslinux
-                  APPEND or grub kernel command line.
-
-        --configfile: Specifies a user defined configuration file for
-                      the bootloader. This file must be located in the
-                      canned-wks folder or could be the full path to the
-                      file. Using this option will override any other
-                      bootloader option.
-
-        --ptable: Specifies the partition table format. Valid values are
-                  'msdos', 'gpt', 'gpt-hybrid'.
-
-        --source: Specifies the source plugin. If not specified, the
-                  --source value will be copied from the partition that has
-                  /boot as mountpoint.
-
-      Note that bootloader functionality and boot partitions are
-      implemented by the various --source plugins that implement
-      bootloader functionality; the bootloader command essentially
-      provides a means of modifying bootloader configuration.
-
-    * include
-
-      This command allows the user to include the content of .wks file
-      into original .wks file.
-
-      Command uses the following syntax:
-
-         include <file>
-
-      The <file> is either path to the file or its name. If name is
-      specified wic will try to find file in the directories with canned
-      .wks files.

-    """
-    Create MBR + EFI boot partition
-
-    This plugin creates a boot partition that contains both
-    legacy BIOS and EFI content. It will be able to boot from both.
-    This is useful when managing PC fleet with some older machines
-    without EFI support.
-
-    Note it is possible to create an image that can boot from both
-    legacy BIOS and EFI by defining two partitions : one with arg
-    --source bootimg_efi  and another one with --source bootimg_pcbios.
-    However, this method has the obvious downside that it requires TWO
-    partitions to be created on the storage device.
-    Both partitions will also be marked as "bootable" which does not work on
-    most BIOS, has BIOS often uses the "bootable" flag to determine
-    what to boot. If you have such a BIOS, you need to manually remove the
-    "bootable" flag from the EFI partition for the drive to be bootable.
-    Having two partitions also seems to confuse wic : the content of
-    the first partition will be duplicated into the second, even though it
-    will not be used at all.
-
-    Also, unlike "isoimage_isohybrid" that also does BIOS and EFI, this plugin
-    allows you to have more than only a single rootfs partitions and does
-    not turn the rootfs into an initramfs RAM image.
-
-    This plugin is made to put everything into a single /boot partition so it
-    does not have the limitations listed above.
-
-    The plugin is made so it does tries not to reimplement what's already
-    been done in other plugins; as such it imports "bootimg_pcbios"
-    and "bootimg_efi".
-    Plugin "bootimg_pcbios" is used to generate legacy BIOS boot.
-    Plugin "bootimg_efi" is used to generate the UEFI boot. Note that it
-    requires a --sourceparams argument to know which loader to use; refer
-    to "bootimg_efi" code/documentation for the list of loader.
-
-    Imports are handled with "SourceFileLoader" from importlib as it is
-    otherwise very difficult to import module that has hyphen "-" in their
-    filename.
-    The SourcePlugin() methods used in the plugins (do_install_disk,
-    do_configure_partition, do_prepare_partition) are then called on both,
-    beginning by "bootimg_efi".
-
-    Plugin options, such as "--sourceparams" can still be passed to a
-    plugin, as long they does not cause issue in the other plugin.
-
-    Example wic configuration:
-    part /boot --source bootimg_biosplusefi --sourceparams="loader=grub-efi"\\
-               --ondisk sda --label os_boot --active --align 1024 --use-uuid

-    Create a bootable ISO image
-
-    This plugin creates a hybrid, legacy and EFI bootable ISO image. The
-    generated image can be used on optical media as well as USB media.
-
-    Legacy boot uses syslinux and EFI boot uses grub or gummiboot (not
-    implemented yet) as bootloader. The plugin creates the directories required
-    by bootloaders and populates them by creating and configuring the
-    bootloader files.
-
-    Example kickstart file:
-    part /boot --source isoimage_isohybrid --sourceparams="loader=grub-efi, \\
-    image_name= IsoImage" --ondisk cd --label LIVECD
-    bootloader  --timeout=10  --append=" "
-
-    In --sourceparams "loader" specifies the bootloader used for booting in EFI
-    mode, while "image_name" specifies the name of the generated image. In the
-    example above, wic creates an ISO image named IsoImage-cd.direct (default
-    extension added by direct imeger plugin) and a file named IsoImage-cd.iso

It doesn't. I just looked at the code and it uses BBPATH. That can be
similar to BBLAYERS but it is different and the commit messages really
should refer to BBPATH.

I'm a bit confused by this reasoning. Are you saying that wic will no
longer search BBPATH (or WKS_SEARCH_PATH)?

I don't understand why these need to move given WKS_SEARCH_PATH remains
unchanged, unless wic is going to ignore WKS_SEARCH_PATH going forward?

Richard

Looking at this a bit more, the issue is that you're removing the
directory when you separate wic out so the files 'need' to move due to
that?

You could in fact just leave them there if I understand correctly?

In the oe-selftest wic tests, most of the "wic create ..." commands
are called with bare *wks files (i.e. *wks files without the `.wks`
extension). When this happens, as "wic create..." is called, it starts
by running the code found here:

	https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/tree/scripts/wic#n206

which calls:

	https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/tree/scripts/lib/wic/engine.py#n46

which follows the algorithm that I have described above.

So for the oe-selftests to pass I wanted to move them.

As an independent tool, these *wks files are rather oe-core-specific,
so I thought they should stay with the oe-core/meta layer, the same way
that, say, raspberry pi-specific *wks files stay in the raspberry pi
layer.

My first thought was to remove them from the standalone wic repository
altogether, but then decided I could keep them as examples.

I thought it would be dangerous to leave them in the wic source
tree where the above algorithm could find them. If I leave them in
src/wic/canned-wks, someone uses the tool and creates a *wks file with a
similar name to one of the canned-wks files, but they have a typo and
the canned one gets used instead of theirs...

...maybe I'm overthinking it?

You are right, it is using BBLAYERS. This is very confusing since the
wks files are using BBPATH, which is similar but subtly different. 

Is there any reason it can't use BBPATH to match?

I agree the files need to move but I'd like them to end up in
meta/files/wic, not meta/wic. Whilst it complicates the migration a
little, I think it would be best to move them once and get them into
the right place.

The questions are then firstly, how to do that simply, then secondly,
how to clean up the rest of this (and when to do that).

Adding files/wic into the search path is trivial. Deprecating the
existing search paths with appropriate warnings is a bit trickier and
there is the question of when we should do that, before or after the
current release. "after" would seem more obvious, but it will mean two
different behaviours before and after release and with a standalone
tool, this does become harder.

It is definitely dangerous to leave them in the search paths so I agree
with that. The files do belong in OE-Core too. It is still a little
dangerous having files lying around which have the same names as the
ones in core since this kind of duplication still can confuse people
when they edit the wrong file. We have bigger issues I guess but some
renaming of the examples might help.

Cheers,

Richard

I'm only guessing here, but it looks like someone wrote "wic create" to
run two different ways: with the wks file specified with or without the
".wks" extension.

If ".wks" is not given (e.g. "wic create directdisk-gpt ...", which is
what occurs in the oe-selftest tests, i.e. when wic is run independently
without being part of a bitbake build) then wic invokes its own search
algorithm to try to find the wks file using BBLAYERS and script_dir. In
this case the wks file is specified without the ".wks" and no path
information is given on the cmdline. It is up to wic to find the actual
wks file itself.

If the ".wks" is included (which is what happens when wic is called as
part of a bitbake build and therefore the image_types_wic.bbclass is
used) then the class adds the ".wks" at the end, and also gives wic the
path to the wks file which it finds using WKS_SEARCH_PATH which is based
on BBPATH and COREBASE.

Assuming the persona of someone who wants to use this new, independent
wic tool, and who knows nothing about The Yocto Project or bitbake, I
think having wic look in "magical" places for the wks file would be hard
to understand and surprising. As an independent tool I think the user
should provide the path to the actual wks file (with the ".wks"
extension) and if that file can't be found as specified on the cmdline,
wic should simply fail with an error.

As part of making wic an independent tool, I think wic's code to search
for a wks file if the ".wks" is not provided should be removed. This
means that, as part of the transition, I would have to modify each "wic
create" test in oe-core's oe-selftests. I'm fine with that. That could
be done cleanly if I write a little function to find the wks file in
the wic.py oe-selftest itself using the same logic as is used in the
image_types_wic.bbclass.

To summarize: in my opinion, wic shouldn't have search logic. From wic's
point of view the wks file should be specified on the cmdline in a way
that wic will find the file the user wants to use (or not find it).
The oe-selftests should be updated to use the same search logic from
the image_types_wic.bbclass so that when it invokes "wic create" it is
providing wic with the path to a wks file that has a ".wks" extension
(which is how bitbake invokes wic) instead of specifying a bare wks file
and hoping wic will find it.

I'm happy to add "files/wic" as another location for
image_types_wic.bbclass to search for wks files.

Looking at the code, it's a little deeper than that. wic also has a "wic
list" subcommand to "list available canned images and source plugins"
and it uses the same search logic (using BBLAYERS) to find "canned
images". The existing wic documentation, help text, and code refers to
these bare wks names as "images" or "canned images". If you specify a
bare wks to "wic create" and it can't find the wks file, the error
message says (in part): "No image named %s found..." (instead of "No wks
named %s found...".

Maybe I'm not understanding the history here, or maybe there's some
use-case I don't understand (or has long since stopped working) but what
"wic create" needs here is a wks file, not an image name, and conflating
the two seems very odd.

If it were up to me I'd clean the whole thing up. "wic create" needs a
wks file to guide it, not an image name that wic is going to use to find
a <image>.wks file using its own search logic.

I already have two patches to do this: one to add the bbclass search
logic to the oe-selftest wic tests, and a second one to remove wic's
image search logic from wic itself.

The first one is fairly easy to add and justify (I think).

The second one might be harder. Maybe there is some strange use-case
where we want wic to handle "wic create <bare-wks>" where <bare-wks> is
thought of as an image name? Removing wic's bare-wks search logic also
removes the "wic list images" subcommand since the only point of that
subcommand is to invoke its search logic and find "images" (which are
actually wks files).

I guess the first question is are we going to take this for wrynose or
not? I'm not particularly happy with the files a top level wic
directory, I think it needs to be meta/files/wic. To make that work, we
need to tweak the search paths in wic and in image_types_wic.bbclass.
If we can resolve that issue, we're probably good to move forward with
merging.

I agree that the search path logic should be tidied up. Whether you can
provide a search path to wic or whether that has to be done in metadata
is an open question. I do see your perspective, equally, if you are
using wic within OE, having some search knowledge may be ok. I would
want to see it basically using files/wic from BBPATH  with everything
else removed. There is a question of how you warn users about old
paths. This piece is too late for the release though.

So I'd propose we add files/wic to the search path, move the files
there and that lets us at least get some of the changes into the
release?

Cheers,

Richard

Since we're running out of time and I really don't want to have to
think about this too much more/again, I've:

* written a patch to add files/wic as a search path in wic
* written a patch to add files/wic as a search path in the class
* dropped wic and the canned-wks paths in wic
* dropped wic and the canned-wks paths in the class
* converted wic to use BBPATH instead of BBLAYERS
* added a sanity test to detect the old paths and error
* pushed a contrib/rpurdie branch into the wic repo with the patches

This is going to mean people have to update layers to use "files/wic"
but we can clearly tell people they need to do it. If we went with
either of the other locations and changed BBLAYERS -> BBPATH, there
could be corner cases we miss in the detection.

Autobuilder testing shows this will break a few layers but it is a
clear error which people can easily fix.

How does that look to people?

Cheers,

Richard
