Using own files when installing the package

[AlexanderZhirov]

I can't figure out how to use my directories files when "unpacking" a package during image assembly. For example, I have a build/mydirectory/myfile file and I want to extract data from this file during the build process. finalize is clearly not suitable here, since there is no access to build from under it. And I didn't find any information about the installation in install. I just don't want to upload this file directly to the image, so as not to increase the size of the final image.

use build/install and remove to create an unwinder and cleanup script

Are there any examples describing how these scripts work? I'm looking at standard files that contain some kind of "universal" template, but it's not entirely clear what it is and why it is needed:

#!/bin/sh

export PACKAGE=filezilla
export PORTS=$PACKAGE
repackage -e

returnval=$?

exit $returnval

For example, repackage -e or returnval=$?. And how does exit $returnval affect the work of the package build?

[Doncuppjr]

Look at the proprietary packages like chrome and firefox for better examples of your needs.

I'm trying to create a package that will automatically read all public keys from the packages/sshaccess/build/keys directory and add them to the authorized_keys authorization file. I don't understand why it doesn't work? I did it by analogy with the packages you pointed out to me.

#!/bin/sh

INSTALLDIR=../packages/sshaccess
keys=$INSTALLDIR/build/keys

for key in $(ls $keys); do
  cat $keys/$key >> /etc/skel/.ssh/authorized_keys
done

returnval=$?

exit $returnval

P.S.

The install Chrome file looks like this:

#!/bin/sh

gzname=`basename $1`
INSTALLDIR=../packages/chrome

cd wget_tmp
ar -x $gzname
tar -xf data.tar.*
mv opt $INSTALLDIR
chmod 4755 $INSTALLDIR/opt/google/chrome/chrome-sandbox
returnval=$?

VERSION=`./$INSTALLDIR/opt/google/chrome/chrome --no-sandbox --product-version |cut -d '.' -f1`
cat $INSTALLDIR/build/'Local State' |jq ".browser.last_whats_new_version = $VERSION" > $INSTALLDIR/etc/chrome/'Local State'

exit $returnval

It is not entirely clear what they mean:

1. gzname=`basename $1`
2. cd wget_tmp
3. returnval=$?

[AlexanderZhirov]

I don't understand why this doesn't work during image build.

packages/sshaccess/build/install:

#!/bin/sh

echo "My public key" >> ./packages/sshaccess/etc/skel/.ssh/authorized_keys

returnval=$?

exit $returnval

[Thinstation]

install only runs once, then makes an installed file. remove should clean up your package and remove the installed file tag. So, .packages//build/remove should clean everything up, and a subsequent build should run install again.

[AlexanderZhirov]

install only runs once, then makes an installed file. remove should clean up your package and remove the installed file tag.

The bottom line is that the script just doesn't work out. There are no syntax errors, but it feels like the script doesn't even run.

[AlexanderZhirov]

I took this config as an example.

My example:

sshaccess
├── build
│   ├── install
│   ├── installed
│   ├── keys
│   │   ├── key1.pub
│   │   └── key2.pub
│   └── remove
└── dependencies

sshaccess/build/install:

#!/bin/sh

export PACKAGE=sshaccess
export PORTS=$PACKAGE
export DROP_DIRS=etc/skel/.ssh
repackage -e
returnval=$?

INSTALLDIR=./packages/sshaccess
keys=$INSTALLDIR/build/keys

mkdir -p $INSTALLDIR/etc/skel/.ssh

for key in $(ls $keys); do
  cat $keys/$key >> $INSTALLDIR/etc/skel/.ssh/authorized_keys
done

exit $returnval

sshaccess/build/remove:

#!/bin/sh

export PACKAGE=sshaccess
repackage -c

But after the build, there is still no directory with keys. I kind of did everything exactly like the package with the example.

[AlexanderZhirov]

Maybe I forgot to add something?🧐

[AlexanderZhirov]

@Thinstation I have archived the package. If there is an opportunity, please help me understand why the package is not building?

sshaccess.zip

[Thinstation]

Did you include the package in your build?

[Thinstation]

also, don't mix manual and repackage. install/remove is a collision zone. You can do manual or repackage there, but should not call repackage for full manual packages.

[Thinstation]

Your remove script should remove the installed file.

[AlexanderZhirov]

Did you include the package in your build?

Yes, I added the package to build.conf.

Your remove script should remove the installed file.

Here, I tried to do it again. I build an image, upload it, but there is not even an opt directory on it. I don't know what to do anymore.

build/packages/test
├── build
│   ├── install
│   └── remove
└── dependencies

build/packages/test/build/install:

#!/bin/sh

INSTALLDIR=./packages/test
mkdir -p $INSTALLDIR/opt
echo "Hello, world!" >> $INSTALLDIR/opt/test.txt

returnval=$?

exit $returnval

build/packages/test/build/remove:

#!/bin/sh

INSTALLDIR=./packages/test

rm -rf $INSTALLDIR/opt
rm ./packages/test/build/installed

returnval=$?

exit $returnval

[AlexanderZhirov]

Is it that simple?! I understand that mysticism does not exist, but let me, please, explain how it works???😱

Now the script is working😏

[Thinstation]

Well....., repackage is a keyword. We just don't really want to repackage anything, we just want build to look at install without referencing things in downloads.

[Thinstation]

I would not use install and remove for authorized keys, I would just make the file and put it into a profile package, but if you want to use install/remove, that's how it's done'ish.

[AlexanderZhirov]

Well....., repackage is a keyword. We just don't really want to repackage anything, we just want build to look at install without referencing things in downloads.

That is, if I want to install the package manually, then I have to use repackaging?

I would not use install and remove for authorized keys, I would just make the file and put it into a profile package, but if you want to use install/remove, that's how it's done'ish.

For example, I am writing a systemd service, the sources of which are in a package in build. The bottom line is that the sources can be updated and I want to automate the process of building an image, the package of which also needs to be assembled from the inside.

[Thinstation]

then make a port and repackage it.
