ostree_repo_find_remotes_async ()

void
ostree_repo_find_remotes_async (OstreeRepo *self,
                                const OstreeCollectionRef *const *refs,
                                GVariant *options,
                                OstreeRepoFinder **finders,
                                OstreeAsyncProgress *progress,
                                GCancellable *cancellable,
                                GAsyncReadyCallback callback,
                                gpointer user_data);

Find reachable remote URIs which claim to provide any of the given named refs . This will search for configured remotes (OstreeRepoFinderConfig), mounted volumes (OstreeRepoFinderMount) and (if enabled at compile time) local network peers (OstreeRepoFinderAvahi). In order to use a custom configuration of OstreeRepoFinder instances, call ostree_repo_finder_resolve_all_async() on them individually.

Any remote which is found and which claims to support any of the given refs will be returned in the results. It is possible that a remote claims to support a given ref, but turns out not to — it is not possible to verify this until ostree_repo_pull_from_remotes_async() is called.

The returned results will be sorted with the most useful first — this is typically the remote which claims to provide the most of refs , at the lowest latency.

Each result contains a list of the subset of refs it claims to provide. It is possible for a non-empty list of results to be returned, but for some of refs to not be listed in any of the results. Callers must check for this.

Pass the results to ostree_repo_pull_from_remotes_async() to pull the given refs from those remotes.

The following options are currently defined:

override-commit-ids (as): Array of specific commit IDs to fetch. The nth commit ID applies to the nth ref, so this must be the same length as refs , if provided.
n-network-retries (u): Number of times to retry each download on receiving a transient network error, such as a socket timeout; default is 5, 0 means return errors without retrying. Since: 2018.6

finders must be a non-empty NULL-terminated array of the OstreeRepoFinder instances to use, or NULL to use the system default set of finders, which will typically be all available finders using their default options (but this is not guaranteed).

GPG verification of commits will be used unconditionally.

This will use the thread-default GMainContext, but will not iterate it.

Parameters

self	an OstreeRepo
refs	non-empty array of collection–ref pairs to find remotes for.	[array zero-terminated=1]
options	a GVariant `a{sv}` with an extensible set of flags.	[nullable]
finders	non-empty array of OstreeRepoFinder instances to use, or `NULL` to use the system defaults.	[array zero-terminated=1][transfer none]
progress	an OstreeAsyncProgress to update with the operation’s progress, or `NULL`.	[nullable]
cancellable	a GCancellable, or `NULL`.	[nullable]
callback	asynchronous completion callback
user_data	data to pass to `callback`

Since: 2018.6

ostree_repo_find_remotes_finish ()

OstreeRepoFinderResult **
ostree_repo_find_remotes_finish (OstreeRepo *self,
                                 GAsyncResult *result,
                                 GError **error);

Finish an asynchronous pull operation started with ostree_repo_find_remotes_async().

ostree_repo_pull_from_remotes_async ()

void
ostree_repo_pull_from_remotes_async (OstreeRepo *self,
                                     const OstreeRepoFinderResult *const *results,
                                     GVariant *options,
                                     OstreeAsyncProgress *progress,
                                     GCancellable *cancellable,
                                     GAsyncReadyCallback callback,
                                     gpointer user_data);

Pull refs from multiple remotes which have been found using ostree_repo_find_remotes_async().

results are expected to be in priority order, with the best remotes to pull from listed first. ostree_repo_pull_from_remotes_async() will generally pull from the remotes in order, but may parallelise its downloads.

If an error is encountered when pulling from a given remote, that remote will be ignored and another will be tried instead. If any refs have not been downloaded successfully after all remotes have been tried, G_IO_ERROR_FAILED will be returned. The results of any successful downloads will remain cached in the local repository.

If cancellable is cancelled, G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED will be returned immediately. The results of any successfully completed downloads at that point will remain cached in the local repository.

GPG verification of commits will be used unconditionally.

The following options are currently defined:

flags (i): OstreeRepoPullFlags to apply to the pull operation
inherit-transaction (b): TRUE to inherit an ongoing transaction on the OstreeRepo, rather than encapsulating the pull in a new one
depth (i): How far in the history to traverse; default is 0, -1 means infinite
disable-static-deltas (b): Do not use static deltas
http-headers (a(ss)): Additional headers to add to all HTTP requests
subdirs (as): Pull just these subdirectories
update-frequency (u): Frequency to call the async progress callback in milliseconds, if any; only values higher than 0 are valid
append-user-agent (s): Additional string to append to the user agent
n-network-retries (u): Number of times to retry each download on receiving a transient network error, such as a socket timeout; default is 5, 0 means return errors without retrying. Since: 2018.6
ref-keyring-map (a(sss)): Array of (collection ID, ref name, keyring remote name) tuples specifying which remote's keyring should be used when doing GPG verification of each collection-ref. This is useful to prevent a remote from serving malicious updates to refs which did not originate from it. This can be a subset or superset of the refs being pulled; any ref not being pulled will be ignored and any ref without a keyring remote will be verified with the keyring of the remote being pulled from.

Parameters

self	an OstreeRepo
results	`NULL`-terminated array of remotes to pull from, including the refs to pull from each.	[array zero-terminated=1]
options	A GVariant `a{sv}` with an extensible set of flags.	[nullable]
progress	an OstreeAsyncProgress to update with the operation’s progress, or `NULL`.	[nullable]
cancellable	a GCancellable, or `NULL`.	[nullable]
callback	asynchronous completion callback
user_data	data to pass to `callback`

ostree_repo_pull_from_remotes_finish ()

gboolean
ostree_repo_pull_from_remotes_finish (OstreeRepo *self,
                                      GAsyncResult *result,
                                      GError **error);

Finish an asynchronous pull operation started with ostree_repo_pull_from_remotes_async().

Parameters

self	an OstreeRepo
result	the asynchronous result
error	return location for a GError, or `NULL`

Returns

TRUE on success, FALSE otherwise

ostree_repo_resolve_keyring_for_collection ()

OstreeRemote *
ostree_repo_resolve_keyring_for_collection
                               (OstreeRepo *self,
                                const gchar *collection_id,
                                GCancellable *cancellable,
                                GError **error);

Find the GPG keyring for the given collection_id , using the local configuration from the given OstreeRepo. This will search the configured remotes for ones whose collection-id key matches collection_id , and will return the first matching remote.

If multiple remotes match and have different keyrings, a debug message will be emitted, and the first result will be returned. It is expected that the keyrings should match.

If no match can be found, a G_IO_ERROR_NOT_FOUND error will be returned.

Parameters

self	an OstreeRepo
collection_id	the collection ID to look up a keyring for
cancellable	a GCancellable, or `NULL`.	[nullable]
error	return location for a GError, or `NULL`

Returns

OstreeRemote containing the GPG keyring for collection_id .

Types and Values

OSTREE_REPO_METADATA_REF

#define OSTREE_REPO_METADATA_REF "ostree-metadata"

The name of a ref which is used to store metadata for the entire repository, such as its expected update time (ostree.summary.expires), name, or new GPG keys. Metadata is stored on contentless commits in the ref, and hence is signed with the commits.

This supersedes the additional metadata dictionary in the summary file (see ostree_repo_regenerate_summary()), as the use of a ref means that the metadata for multiple upstream repositories can be included in a single mirror repository, disambiguating the refs using collection IDs. In order to support peer to peer redistribution of repository metadata, repositories must set a collection ID (ostree_repo_set_collection_id()).

Users of OSTree may place arbitrary metadata in commits on this ref, but the keys must be namespaced by product or developer. For example, exampleos.end-of-life. The ostree. prefix is reserved.

Since: 2018.6

OSTREE_META_KEY_DEPLOY_COLLECTION_ID

#define OSTREE_META_KEY_DEPLOY_COLLECTION_ID "ostree.deploy-collection-id"

GVariant type s. This key can be used in the repo metadata which is stored in OSTREE_REPO_METADATA_REF as well as in the summary. The semantics of this are that the remote repository wants clients to update their remote config to add this collection ID (clients can't do P2P operations involving a remote without a collection ID configured on it, even if one is configured on the server side). Clients must never change or remove a collection ID already set in their remote config.

Currently, OSTree does not implement changing a remote config based on this key, but it may do so in a later release, and until then clients such as Flatpak may implement it.

This is a replacement for the similar metadata key implemented by flatpak, xa.collection-id, which is now deprecated as clients which supported it had bugs with their P2P implementations.

Since: 2018.9
