ok I think i figured it out, ostree unpacks the tar file inside the container image and looks at the selinux policy inside

/usr/etc/selinux

/usr/etc/selinux

based on this it will relabel the final system

greetd

greetd

doesn't actually ship any policy (huh?) but rather they just label their files at build time and hope that the destination will keep those changes but

podman

podman

basically destroys that information due to overlayfs

akdev

A

akdev•7/30/23, 2:00 PM

the workaround is to ship this file: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/greetd/blob/rawhide/f/greetd.fc

in

/usr/etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.greetd

/usr/etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.greetd

akdev

A

akdev•7/30/23, 2:01 PM

this should make ostree pickup the correct label at deployment time

akdev

A

akdev•7/30/23, 2:08 PM

oh they actually ship the policy but it is in binary form

--enablerepo

Hey y'all... so I put together a draft PR in response to an "investigate" ticket...

I think the implementation is fine, though I'm personally on the fence about whether or not we actually want the change. I'm truly indifferent.

I'd love to get some feedback, a vote maybe, on this one.

Looks like for rawhide I have to install the rawhide repo into

/etc/yum.repos.d

/etc/yum.repos.d

then use the

--from repo='rawhide'

--from repo='rawhide'

flag

T

tn•7/30/23, 5:31 PM

Does anyone know if rawhide is added to yum.repos.d will other packages installed with

rpm-ostree install

rpm-ostree install

still come from the stable repos?

T

tn•7/30/23, 5:32 PM

I would hope that's the case, will test real quick

T

tn•7/30/23, 5:42 PM

Ok I think I'm just going to sed rawhide's enabled to 1, install what I need, and sed it back to 0

T

tn•7/30/23, 5:42 PM

Looks like it's 0 by default

Also it seems like

mkdir -p

mkdir -p

isn't working right in scripts. I'm trying to create /usr/local/include but I'm getting

 mkdir: cannot create directory '/usr/local': File exists

 mkdir: cannot create directory '/usr/local': File exists

. I thought the p flag was supposed to ignore these errors

j0rge•7/30/23, 6:22 PM

you can't do

/usr/local

/usr/local

T

tn•7/30/23, 6:28 PM

In that case what would be the approprate place for the

include

directory?

T

tn•7/30/23, 6:39 PM

I guess /usr/include instead of /usr/local/include

J

j0rge•7/30/23, 7:42 PM

yeah, local is for the end user, you'd put it where distro would put stuff

T

tn•7/30/23, 11:03 PM

Does anyone know what

error: Error -1 running transaction

error: Error -1 running transaction

means coming from rpm-ostree, or if there's a way to get more than that one line of error information from it? I'm having trouble override replacing waybar with waybar-hyprland during an image build

T

tn•7/30/23, 11:04 PM

It gets through installing all the dependencies but throws up that error right at the end

T

tn•7/30/23, 11:05 PM

Running the same replace command locally silently fails, it stages the new deploy but the package doesn't get installed

T

tn•7/30/23, 11:12 PM

Let me try something actually

T

tn•7/30/23, 11:21 PM

So it looks like the remove waybar step is automatically installing waybar-git, which then conflicts with waybar-hyprland

Ok, so I have a small minor PR I'd like to commit, and I'm not familiar with the cleanest way to do that. At work, its make a branch, make the change, make a PR, and wait for acceptance. But I can't even push to a branch off this repo, so how does one commit back?

Waffleophagus

Waffleophagus•7/30/23, 11:26 PM

Kyle Gospo

Kyle Gospo•7/30/23, 11:41 PM

My guess is something that you are installing has a hard requirement for waybar

Kyle Gospo

K

Kyle Gospo•7/30/23, 11:41 PM

And rather than remove it, it's installing an alternative that satisfies the dependency

Kyle Gospo

K

Kyle Gospo•7/30/23, 11:41 PM

What you may want to do is try doing the same command on a live system

Kyle Gospo

K

Kyle Gospo•7/30/23, 11:41 PM

See if it acts any differently and if it removes more packages than just the one you requested
