Align the prototype of SSHClient.run_cmd() to ExecContext.run(). This is a push towards making the SSHClient code an ExceContext, too. Some arguments still log a warning or outright raise NotImplementedError.
CmdInfo._expand_macros() raises a custom exception during exception handling. Replace that by logging some details and raising the original exception to keep the stack trace readable.
Add the name of the operating system ID as taken from /etc/os-release to $INSTALL_LOG. This should allow for easier post-mortem debugging if multiple builds used the same file in /tmp and possibly also prevent conflicts.
Move the PY_XXX = true|false variable definitions meant to be preset by including makefiles to the top of py-defs.mk to make the structure of the file clearer.
Add PY_INSTALL_INIT_PY ?= true to py-defs.mk. If set to false, a Python module will not try to attempt installing an existing / generated __init__.py. This is useful when installing into an exiting directory with an existing __init__.py.
jw-pkg supports more than RPM-based package managers, but for historic reasons, lots of its Makefile variables still have "RPM" in their names. This is misleading. Replace "RPM" in variable names by the more generic "PKG" where appropriate.
RPM_REQUIRES_DEVEL is often filled from the current version, which in turn is filled from the version file, so the order of events here is unclear at best.
Add target pkg-release-update-version and make pkg-release-reinstall depend on it to make the order explicit.
Make target pkg-release-reinstall depend on target get-official. It already depends on get-maintainer, but that's not enough in situations where devops built a target on platform A, pushed the new release, then proceeds to build on platform B: It needs to pull its own changes made during release of A.
Use pkg-requires --hide-self to find all prerequisites that should be installed for a test run against packages installed from the repositories, including self-built and self-hosted packages.
In a push to eventually merge the classes, somewhat align the command-line API of CmdRequiredOsPkg to the one of BaseCmdPkgRelations by using dependency flavours as mandatory, first argument.
To support the pkg-install-testbuild-deps target, a selector is needed listing all prerequisites to be installed except the project under test. --hide-self should be useful for that.
Add a function pkg_relations_list(), doing pretty much the same as pkg_relations(), but taking individual arguments instead of an argparse.Namespace args argument, in order to provide the functionality to derived classes.
In commands taking lists of packages, namely install, delete and pkg_files, don't bother asking the backend. Uniformly log a warning and return successfully.
Move the dependencies listed in BASE_PKGS from projcts-dir.mk and topdir.mk into project.conf.
Due to various hen-and-egg problems on a minimal system, in some situations these packages can't be installed from project.conf. The same is true with BASE_PKGS, however, so remove it, at least that does away with some redundancy.
Add support for --syntax to BaseCmdPkgRelations.pkg_relations(), and default to 'semver', i.e. the current state of affairs. If that's changed to 'debian', relations declared in project.conf as
Don't prefix JW_PKG_PY_PROJECTS with time -p. A timing summary shows up in too many places unexpectedly, e.g. in the context of the target update-text-files. Add back later as more concrete demand comes up.
