Yeah this is an idiosyncrasy with RAUC in my opinion. I have no idea why you can't simply name the slots anything you want. Instead each slot has:
<slot-type>.<index>
, and...rauc
binary can't reference a slot by this name.Yeah, the progress bar is very xkcd/612. I guess a note is better than nothing, but maybe we should have a look upstream to see if it has been fixed first? Or if we can improve it with a reasonable effort.
Description
Currently the feedback on upgrade is rather terse, no feedback on which partition is being upgraded, only an internal reference to something called a "slot":
You have to be quite well versed in the system to know that
rootfs.0 == primary
androotfs.1 == secondary
.Seeing as we label the partitions
primary
andsecondary
maybe we could improve the output a bit, e.g.:Where
(primary)
could either be based onbasename $device
or$bootname
?Additional Information
Also, on at least RISC-V targets
upgrade
gets stuck for a loooong time at 99%. So maybe add a leading comment, like::smirk:
