Improved installer #742

DevonianTeuchter · 2024-03-22T19:49:36Z

Update to the installer primarily to handle install direct from file but includes:

analyzes install packages to determine if any are local files
implements capability to allow for custom repositories, currently complete GitHub mirror or a local directory; defaults to z/OS Open Tools main GH repo
generates install graph in advance to allow for space calculation up-front
implements pre/post phases to allow scripts to run at certain times. Default scripts:
-- auto-cache-clean - clean package cache after installation transaction completes [enabled by default]
-- man-db - run man-db automagically after install/alt/remove transactions [enabled if man-db package is installed]
-- caveats - display any "caveats" that a package might have after installation [a caveat being something an end user has to either run, configure or be aware of when using a certain package]
implements an a/all option for y/n questions to automatically answer yes
generates a package database, updated during install/alt/removal
performance improvements to queries, utilising package db and jq
split install into "upgrade" and "install" scripts
split query into "query" and "list" scripts
multiple bug fixes and shellcheck updates
removes [broken] customized filesystem type logic; always use default of usr/local/zopen for package installation

Should resolve/improve: #733 #717 #701 #694 #688 #675 #673 #661 #643 #633 #619 #617 #605 #567 #566 #558 #533 #472 #431 #381 #339 #240

Impressive amount of changes! This will take me a few days to review!

With a minor edit to the last line w.r.t issues closed, we can make GH auto-close them on the merge of this PR.

With a minor edit to the last line w.r.t issues closed, we can make GH auto-close them on the merge of this PR.

My choice of words was deliberate to ensure this didn't happen ;-) As there is a lot of churn and some of the issues are subjective, explicitly checking those issues to see if the submitter is happy with the update is advised.

I had tested migrating from 0.8.0 and 0.8.2 - but that was using the --refresh rather than re-init options... let me check that migration path

Another thing to investigate...

DevonianTeuchter · 2024-04-29T21:27:17Z

@IgorTodorovskiIBM I've pushed a further commit that should resolve the issue when running in a new environment (ie. zopen init). slight issue is that when using the checked out version, it will automatically update meta to the latest in the repo so you then have to reapply the clone into the zopen filesystem. No easy way around that as copying the installing meta into the zopen filesystem could leave the system with an older meta than in the repo going forward, depengind on how quickly a packaged release is made available [if that makes sense].
Some of the changes in the commit are to fix the custom repo handling also.

DevonianTeuchter · 2024-05-09T13:58:10Z

If anyone has a chance [and is feeling up for a challenge!], the new installer for zopen is available for testing.
It has to be cloned from git since it cannot be pushed to the repos until tested/merged: git clone --single-branch -b new_installer https://github.com/ZOSOpenTools/meta.git
and there's a few hoops to jump through [since it's not available in the repos, zopen has to be tricked to use it]
If interested, please see below for more information

The updated zopen will generate metadata when first "upgraded" so this needs more than just copying the files across - there needs to be a refresh.
Once cloned:
= Installing into a clean test environment:

cd into the cloned/meta/bin directory
run ./zopen init -y ""
Run the instruxtions below to integrate the new meta in place of the "latest" as installed during the initialization
= An existing zopen environment can be upgraded by:
move the cloned directory to <zopen-rootfs>/usr/local/zopen/meta/meta.git
run zopen alt --select meta and pick the git version of zopen (which should be listed)
run zopen init --refresh - this should generate a new package database.
This is basically what happens under-the-covers during a meta upgrade, just manually run.
There shouldn't be any errors when running the commands - at least, it works on my system anyway! :-)
It should be possible to move back to an older meta by using zopen alt --select meta, the new files/directories generated in <zopenrootfs>/etc/zopen will however need to be manually deleted (as the older meta releases have no knowledge of these files)
Note that for testing purposes, cloning directly into a directory meta.[xyz] under usr/local/zopen/meta means it is possible to test different versions using zopen alt to switch; using a symlink within the u/l/z/meta directory structure will not currently work due to how the "in-use" version is detected
Any and all feedback would be appreciated - as this is a bit more than a bug fix or basic feature addition, having extra testing would be useful!

@IgorTodorovskiIBM One of the new commits should resolve your issue with relative local paxes.

DevonianTeuchter · 2025-02-14T11:46:27Z

To test the PR, replace with fq-path to zopen.test and all instances of zopen.test with test directory> :

git clone https://github.com/zopencommunity/meta.git -b new_installer zopen.test/usr/local/zopen/meta/meta.new_installer
zopen.test/usr/local/zopen/meta/meta.new_installer/bin/zopen init /<parents>/zopen.test
zopen alt --select meta -> option 1

pjfarleyiii · 2025-02-22T00:59:05Z

@DevonianTeuchter I would like to test your new installer, but my employer's z/OS system has NO access to github or any other outside network locations and I do not have any copy of git available even if this system did have access to any network locations. If I git clone the zopen.test tree to my work PC and upload the entire cloned directory to my z/OS Unix file system under my $HOME directory (maybe using a pax file of the whole tree?), is there any chance this new installer can work on this z/OS system (e.g., the cacert.pem retrieval using curl does not function on this z/OS, I have to go get it using a web browser and then upload it to the mainframe under my $HOME directory).

IgorTodorovskiIBM · 2025-03-14T13:21:50Z

Here's a script I am using to install / update to this new installer:

#!/bin/sh

ROOTFS=${1:-$ZOPEN_ROOTFS}

if [ -z "$ROOTFS" ]; then
    echo "Error: ZOPEN_ROOTFS is not set. Please set it or provide it as an argument."
    exit 1
fi

echo "This will update zopen to the new installer under $ROOTFS. Do you want to continue? (y/N)"
read response
case "$response" in
    y|Y) ;;
    *) echo "Operation aborted."; exit 1 ;;
esac

rm -rf "$ROOTFS/usr/local/zopen/meta/meta.new_installer"
git clone https://github.com/zopencommunity/meta.git -b new_installer "$ROOTFS/usr/local/zopen/meta/meta.new_installer"
"$ROOTFS/usr/local/zopen/meta/meta.new_installer/bin/zopen" init "$ROOTFS"
zopen alt --set meta meta.new_installer
touch "$ROOTFS/usr/local/zopen/meta/meta.new_installer/.pinned"

Copy the above to a file name update_zopen.sh and give it executable permissions
./update_zopen.sh
