README:
- Quick Start shows kappa add workflow instead of manual configs
- New features: indexed repos, env operators (+=, ?=), conflict reporting
- Updated subcommand table (add, remove, index, validate-index)
- Repo maintenance section (kappa index)
- Link to STYLEGUIDE.md, test counts, CI info
CONTRIBUTING:
- Updated test counts (30+23+85 instead of 31+23)
- Added test-full.sh to mandatory test suite
- Referenced STYLEGUIDE.md in PR requirements
- Updated good-first/ambitious issues for current state
The 'format shows conflicts' test in the Package DSL section ran
before /tmp/test_conflict.kap was created (it's created later in the
Conflicts section). Removed the premature copy — the Conflicts
section already has this test after file creation.
Debian 11's libstdc++ (GCC 10) lacks <format> even with clang-18.
Arch ships clang-18 and the latest libstdc++ out of the box.
Container-based runner with pacman for dead-simple dependency install.
<llvm.sh 18 all> installs clang-18 with full C++23 support.
sort -V ensures the highest clang version is selected when
multiple are installed. Removes -stdlib=libc++ (clang-18
provides <format> via its own header, no flag needed).
- Tries apt clang-18/17/16/15 first (Ubuntu 22.04+)
- Falls back to LLVM repo install for Ubuntu 20.04
- Auto-detects installed clang version for CMake compiler flags
- Both CMake 3.28 (binary download) and C++23 compiler required
Conflicts were detected in the resolver but silently ignored in both
the resolve and rebuild subcommands. Both now print conflict errors
and abort before any builds start.
- kappa add <pkg> [version] — adds/updates package in system config
packages{} block; creates config if it doesn't exist
- kappa remove <pkg> — removes package from config; idempotent
(no error if package isn't present)
- Supports --root flag for custom KAPPA_ROOT
- User workflow: kappa add make && kappa rebuild
No manual config editing needed.
- fetch_recipe_from_repos() iterates repos by priority, channels, with
mirror fallback — caches indexes at /cache/indexes/
- Conditional HTTP downloads (curl -z) to only re-fetch stale indexes
- build_registry and fetch-package prefer repos { } over remotes = [...]
when both are present
- Fallback chain: local .kap → repos (index-aware) → remotes (legacy)
- Add repos { } block to system config with named repos, channels,
mirrors, and priority
- Add index "name" { } file format for package indexes
- Add kappa index <dir> subcommand that scans .kap files and
generates index.kap
- parse_index() and build_index() in DSL module
- format_index() roundtrip support in tools module
- validate and format subcommands handle all three formats
(package, config, index) with automatic detection
- Backward compatible: remotes = [...] still works unchanged
- Replace build stub with full phase execution (prepare/build/check/install)
via /bin/sh with variable interpolation, config file generation, and
env handling (hard-set, soft/?=, append/+=)
- Add += append operator for environment variables across DSL, parser,
system config parser, build backend, and formatter
- Add STYLEGUIDE.md documenting all codebase conventions
- Replace EnvEntry bool soft with EnvMode enum (Set/Soft/Append)
- Add Plus token type to lexer for += parsing
The rebuild subcommand now executes the full pipeline:
- build_registry() -> resolve() -> sched::run()
- install::install() for each built package
- service::install_service() for enabled services
- boot::install_bootloader_config() for bootloader config
- system::write_hostname() / write_timezone() for system activation
Added --dry-run flag for report-only behavior (backward compat with
test suite). Added -w flag for worker parallelism and --dry-run to help.
Fixed .gitignore: 'kappa' -> '/kappa' (was matching include/kappa/,
preventing header files from being tracked since initial commit).
This commit also adds all previously-gitignored header files.
- Removed unused <format> include from rebuild.cpp
- Service change detection simplified: any enabled service flags change
(services aren't stored as DB entries, so element-wise compare impossible)
- Version comparison: checks if version/features/config are non-empty
in PackageRef (conservative — rebuilds if any constraint is specified)
- Empty config with unchanged packages correctly reports 'nothing to rebuild'
- build.cpp: save/restore CWD on both success and failure paths
- install.cpp: check error_code after each filesystem op, abort on failure
- install.cpp: check write_installed() return value
- fetch.cpp: EINTR retry loop on both waitpid calls (exec_cmd + exec_capture)
B1: Replaced all std::system()/popen() with fork+execve — zero shell injection
B2+B3: Added sha256/sha512/md5 fields to PackageDef, parser support, actual hash comparison in verify_hash()
B4: tar --no-same-owner --no-same-permissions, zip uses unzip instead of tar
B5: Patch sha256 verified before application via -i flag (no shell redirect)
B6: kappa fetch --help now prints usage and exits 0
Also: removed dead ternary code, added <cstdlib>/<sys/wait.h>/<unistd.h>
Review fixes (8 blocking issues):
- Extract ParseError to shared error.hpp (ODR fix)
- Remove dead package.cpp/package.hpp + tomlplusplus dep
- Safe parse_int() helper replacing crash-prone std::stoi
- consume_string() now accepts bare numbers and idents
- line_at() fixed for post-EOF line numbers
- Subcommand validation before file read in CLI
- KwService/KwAssert/KwImport added to consume_ident()
- root partition promoted to first-class BootBlock field
New features:
- Imports: imports = [...] with recursive merge resolution
- Assertions: assert { "msg" : field op value } in both parsers
- Merge engine: resolve_package() with features/config merge + force support
- Per-package overrides: /kappa/system/builds/<name>.kap
- .gitignore: added vcpkg_installed/ and kappa binary
