Subject: [PATCH v6 0/8] System updates based on systemd-sysupdate
Date: Sat, 29 Nov 2025 04:49:57 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251129-updates-v6-0-9edb87a2e509@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251126-updates-v5-0-fd746748febd@gmail.com>
This implements updates via systemd-sysupdate. See individual commit
messages for details.
Signed-off-by: Demi Marie Obenour <demiobenour@gmail.com>

Changes in v6:
- Remove build system changes that are not needed by the updater.
- Rely on Alyssa's patches for partition size control.
- Minor changes to individual patches.
- Drop link to patchset that has already been applied.
- Link to v5: https://spectrum-os.org/lists/archives/spectrum-devel/20251126-updates-v5-0-fd746748febd@gmail.com
Changes in v5:
- Fix broken shell.nix files in intermediate patches.
- See individual patches messages for more details.
- Link to v4: https://spectrum-os.org/lists/archives/spectrum-devel/20251121-updates-v4-0-d4561c42776e@gmail.com
Changes in v4:
- Fix build errors in intermediate patches.
- Apply suggestions from code review.
- Link to v3: https://spectrum-os.org/lists/archives/spectrum-devel/20251119-updates-v3-0-b88a99915509@gmail.com
Changes in v3:
- See individual commits for details. There are too many to mention
here.
- Link to v2: https://spectrum-os.org/lists/archives/spectrum-devel/20251112-updates-v2-0-88d96bf81b79@gmail.com
Changes in v2:
- updates-dir-check:
- Do not check that there is a SHA256SUMS or SHA256SUMS.gpg file in the
update directory. systemd-sysupdate will fail if it cannot find a
manifest or its signature.
- Follow symlinks in opening the directory. The path is from a
trusted source and will always point to a BTRFS snapshot, never a
symlink. The only exception is the last component, which is still
checked to not be a symlink.
- VM:
- Link SHA256SUMS.sha256.asc to SHA256SUMS.gpg. Recent
systemd-sysupdate seems to use the former name.
- Get update URL from host.
- Use an execline script instead of a shell script.
- Update script:
- Unmount shared directory if already mounted. This avoids errors
when mounting it again.
- Delete old snapshot if present.
- Provide the VM information with a different directory layout.
- Do not bind-mount the information passed into the VM into the shared
VM folder. Instead rely on this folder being read-only to the
guest. This is enforced by a read-only bind mount in virtiofs's
mount namespace.
- Testing:
- Lots of manual update testing.
- Disable the test for the live image as it doesn't work anymore.
- Nix:
- Move validation to a separate low-priority patch.
- Documentation:
- Document that updating the system is now possible.
- Installer:
- Remove the "Try Spectrum" button.
- Link to v1: https://spectrum-os.org/lists/archives/spectrum-devel/20251029-updates-v1-0-401c1be2a11b@gmail.com
