= Preupgrade Assistant contents Packaging guidelines =
[{#fedoradocs:https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/}}
 
== How to package a Preupgrade Assistant contents ==
Contents files are packaged as a subpackage of main package (e.g mariadb).
 
== Naming guidelines ==
Every Preupgrade Assistant content subpackage name must start with ''preupgrade-assistant-'' followed by original package name.
 
For example Preupgrade Assistant content subpackage for ''mariadb'' will be named ''preupgrade-assistant-mariadb''.
 
== Dependencies ==
* All packages must have
  Requires: preupgrade-assistant
  BuildRequires: preupgrade-assistant-devel
Devel package contains macros and contents validating check script.
 
== Architecture ==
* All ''preupgrade-assistant-*'' subpackages must be architecture independent, i.e. have <code>BuildArch: noarch</code>.
 
== Macros ==
* Macro denoting the parent directory where the package files go is <code>%{preupgrade_dir}</code>. This currently expands to <code>/usr/share/preupgrade</code>.
* Macro <code>%{preupg_number}</code> means source release from which the system is going to be upgraded, e.g. Fedora 22.
* Macro <code>%{postupg_number}</code> means target release to which the system is going to be upgraded, e.g. Fedora 23.
* Macro <code>%{preupg_results}</code> means where the contents files are generated
* Macro <code>%{preupgrade_name}</code> means '''Fedora%{preupg_number}_%{postupg_number}''', e.g. Fedora22_23
* Macro <code>%{preupgrade_dir}</code> reference to '''/usr/share/preupgrade/%{preupgrade_name}'''
 
== Prep section ==
Copy all contents files to '''%{preupgrade_name}/%{name}''' directory.
 
Content files are:
* INI file
* check_script (python or bash)
* text file with solution description.
 
=== INI file structure ===
 
INI file is checked by '''%{preupgrade_build}''' script. If something is missing user is informed.
 
[preupgrade]
content_title: Short content name
author: Your Name <yname@ydomain.com>
content_description: 'Enter your description here'
config_file: <configuration_file_separated_by_comma> THIS IS OPTIONAL. IT INFORMS ADMINISTRATOR WHAT FILES ARE AFFECTED
check_script: <checking script name created during this guide>
solution: <text_how_to_solve_a_problem_after_an_upgrade>
applies_to: <specify_package_needs_to_be_on_system. if_not_installed_then_NOT_APPLICABLE> , comma separated
requires: <specify_package_needs_to_be_on_system> THIS IS OPTIONAL
 
The elements description:
 
* content_title - Defines a single item to be checked as a part of a group.
* author - Author of the content, will be used in automatically created header of scripts
* content_description - Describes a rule and what the checks are.
* config_file - Defines which configuration files are checked.
* check_script - A script used for checking the system before upgrade. If the script does not exist, the user is notified and the group.xml autogeneration fails.
* solution - Text file which describes how to solve a problem after an upgrade.
* applies_to - Package checked by the script, if not available check will not run. Result is NOT_APPLICABLE.
* requires - If a check script needs awk binary then package gawk should be mentioned here.
 
=== Bash check script template ===
 
Template for bash check script
 
#!/bin/bash
. /usr/share/preupgrade/common.sh
#END GENERATED SECTION
# This check can be used if you need root privilegues
# Copy your config file from RHEL6 (in case of scenario RHEL6_7)
# to Temporary Directory
CONFIG_FILE="full_path_to_your_config_file"
mkdir -p $VALUE_TMP_PREUPGRADE/cleanconf/$(dirname $CONFIG_FILE)
cp $CONFIG_FILE $VALUE_TMP_PREUPGRADE/cleanconf/$CONFIG_FILE
# Now check you configuration file for options
# and for other stuff related with configuration
# If configuration can be used on target system (like RHEL7 in case of RHEL6_7)
# the exit should be RESULT_PASS
# If configuration can not be used on target system (like RHEL 7 in case of RHEL6_7)
# scenario then result should be RESULT_FAIL. Correction of
# configuration file is provided either by solution script
# or by postupgrade script located in $VALUE_TMP_PREUPGRADE/postupgrade.d/
# if configuration file can be fixed then fix them in temporary directory
# $VALUE_TMP_PREUPGRADE/$CONFIG_FILE and result should be RESULT_FIXED
# More information about this issues should be described in solution.txt file
# as reference to KnowledgeBase article.
grep "Sometext" $CONFIG_FILE
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
    log_info "Config file $CONFIG_FILE will be fixed by solution script"
    # postupgrade.d directory from your content is automatically copied by
    # preupgrade assistant into $VALUE_TMP_PREUPGRADE/postupgrade.d/ directory
    exit $RESULT_FAIL
fi
exit $RESULT_PASS
 
=== Python check script template ===
 
Template for python check script
 
#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- Mode: Python; python-indent: 8; indent-tabs-mode: t -*-
import sys, os, errno
import datetime
from preup.script_api import *
#END GENERATED SECTION
component = "Specify component name used for logging"
# exit functions are exit_{pass,not_applicable, fixed, fail, etc.}
# logging functions are log_{error, warning, info, etc.}
# for logging in-place risk use functions log_{extreme, high, medium, slight}_risk
def main():
    if os.geteuid() != 0:
        sys.stdout.write("Need to be root.\n")
        log_slight_risk("The script needs to be run under root account")
        exit_error()
if __name__ == "__main__":
set_component(component)
main()
exit_pass()
 
== Build section ==
Run command:
%{preupgrade_build} %{preupgrade_name}/%{name}/
 
%{preupgrade_build} command has to succeed. Warning can be suppressed.
 
== Install section ==
All files from ''preupgrade'' directory should be installed with
%install
...
mkdir -p ${buildroot}%{preupgrade_dir}/%{name}
install -p -m 755 %{SourceY} ${buildroot}%{preupgrade_dir}/%{name}/check.sh
install -p -m 644 %{SourceZ} ${buildroot}%{preupgrade_dir}/%{name}/solution.txt
install -p -m 644 %{preupgrade_name}-%{preupg_results}/%{name}/group.xml ${buildroot}%{preupgrade_dir}/%{name}/group.xml
 
== Files section ==
* Directory where Preupgrade Assistant installs files and directories must be owned by the subpackage
%files
...
%files -n preupgrade-assistant-%{name}
%dir %{preupgrade_dir}/%{name}
* All files except text files should be listed like
%files
...
%files -n preupgrade-assistant-%{name}
%{preupgrade_dir}/%{name}/*.{sh,py}
%{preupgrade_dir}/%{name}/*.xml
* All text files from content should be listed via
%files
...
%files -n preupgrade-assistant-%{name}
%doc %{preupgrade_dir}/%{name}/*.txt
 
== Directory ownership ==
Directories <code>/usr/share/preupgrade</code> and
<code>%{preupgrade_dir}</code>
are owned by package ''preupgrade-assistant'' itself and should not be owned by your package.
 
== Sample SPEC ==
