I'm raising this as an extension of bug 253076, but also because I see |
| 2 |
the potential for danger. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
To date, for an init script that has baselayout2-specific behavior, we |
| 5 |
have had some variant of [ -e /lib/librc.so ] in the init script. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
On a multilib profile with no symlinks and a 64-bit userspace, the .so |
| 8 |
file would be installed in /lib64/librc.so, and the check would |
| 9 |
mistakenly have the wrong result. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
There's one fix that has started to turn up already, but I'm not sure if |
| 12 |
it's going to be safe always: [ -f /etc/init.d/sysfs ] |
| 13 |
This happens to work as openrc installs that init script. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
As a long term solution, can we just consume an inode and have some file |
| 16 |
like /etc/baselayout2? The file must reside on the / partition even when |
| 17 |
the major trees /usr, /var, /tmp, /opt, /boot, /home, /dev, /root are |
| 18 |
separate mountpoints. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Affected and broken profiles: |
| 21 |
- amd64's 2005.0/no-symlink (it was very widely deployed. It's not |
| 22 |
supported or in the tree anymore, but there ARE still people using it) |
| 23 |
- default/linux/sparc/2008.0 (unconfirmed) |
| 24 |
- Any profile that sets SYMLINK_LIB="no" AND the userspace is 64-bit. |
| 25 |
- Wouldn't surprise me if some of the N32 style mips stuff was broken |
| 26 |
too. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Affected, but not broken profiles: |
| 29 |
These are multilib, but with the default as 32-bit causes the lib to be |
| 30 |
in right place. |
| 31 |
- arch/powerpc/ppc64/32ul |
| 32 |
- hardened/linux/powerpc/ppc64/2008.0/32bit-userland |
| 33 |
- Any other profile that inherits features/32bit-userland |
