Ever since an old patch version, it has (for reasonable security
reasons) not supported patched with ../ in the filename.
Many of our patches have been relying on this behaviour being OK,
because we start off with an ancient patch version that didn't perform
such checks. As soon as we need this behaviour after we build a newer
patch though, we will have problems.
So, let's change the policy.
Patches are relative to where tarballs are extracted, rather than the
"working directory" - e.g. have patches for `coreutils-9.4/src/cp.c`
instead of `src/cp.c`.
Keeping this consistent has a few implications;
- patches are applied from the build/ directory in bash era now, with
`-p0`
- when patches are manually applied in the bash era, use `-p` as
required, usually `-p1`
- in kaem era where patches are always manually applied, `-p1` is used
- This idea originates from very early in the project and was, at the
time, a very easy way to categorise things.
- Now, it doesn't really make much sense - it is fairly arbitary, often
occuring when there is a change in kernel, but not from builder-hex0
to fiwix, and sysb is in reality completely unnecessary.
- In short, the sys* stuff is a bit of a mess that makes the project
more difficult to understand.
- This puts everything down into one folder and has a manifest file that
is used to generate the build scripts on the fly rather than using
coded scripts.
- This is created in the "seed" stage.
stage0-posix -- (calls) --> seed -- (generates) --> main steps
Alongside this change there are a variety of other smaller fixups to the
general structure of the live-bootstrap rootfs.
- Creating a rootfs has become much simpler and is defined as code in
go.sh. The new structure, for an about-to-be booted system, is
/
-- /steps (direct copy of steps/)
-- /distfiles (direct copy of distfiles/)
-- all files from seed/*
-- all files from seed/stage0-posix/*
- There is no longer such a thing as /usr/include/musl, this didn't
really make any sense, as musl is the final libc used. Rather, to
separate musl and mes, we have /usr/include/mes, which is much easier
to work with.
- This also makes mes easier to blow away later.
- A few things that weren't properly in packages have been changed;
checksum-transcriber, simple-patch, kexec-fiwix have all been given
fully qualified package names.
- Highly breaking change, scripts now exist in their package directory
but NOT WITH THE packagename.sh. Rather, they use pass1.sh, pass2.sh,
etc. This avoids manual definition of passes.
- Ditto with patches; default directory is patches, but then any patch
series specific to a pass are named patches-passX.
