Subject: [pve-devel] [PATCH dab 0/7] Improvements to DAB; Support Devuan 6.0
Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2025 17:01:15 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251118220122.61257-1-luke@lukeh990.io> (raw)
DISCLAIMER:
This patch set is unsolicited. No fixes or discussions about these
changes has occured. This is also: my first commit to any Proxmox
repository (CLA is signed), my first time contributing perl, and my
first time using a mailing list. I apologize for all of the above but
hope this will be considered.
This patch set addresses a couple of frustrations I have had with DAB.
First, I was trying to create a Devuan 6 appliance and failed after
adding the suite information, this was because the Devuan suites were
not properly given the origin of Devuan and were trying to install
'systemd-sysv'. Next, I couldn't install packages like 'openssh-server'
which depends on: 'systemd | systemd-standalone-sysusers |
systemd-sysusers'. DAB would fail to grab 'systemd' which is obvious.
But DAB would not fall back on the systemd-standalone-sysusers package
which provides the bare minimum needed without being systemd. I changed
the closure function to exhaust all options before failing. I also added
an option to remove the MTA and SSH packages as they were not necessary
for my use.
Patch 6 here adds a bunch of new lines. I just ran proxmox-perltidy. If
I used it incorrectly, I'd be happy to drop that one patch.
Luke Harding (7):
Add a '--no-ssh' option to dab bootstrap to disable ssh packages that
are automatically included.
Add origin for devuan suites
Add devuan "Excalibur" 6.0 suite.
Change closure algorithm to use an alternate package if the most
preferred candidate fails.
Add new `[--mta <postfix|exim|none>]` flag; Deprecate --exim.
Run proxmox-perltidy
Bump version to 3.8.0
