…otools build
Switch fromsource:util-linux to its own inline autotools build:
* paths derived from pkginfo.install_file()
* configure + make + install in single sh -c
* fixed -j8
* sysroot include dir wrapped in _sys_usr_includedir() helper
* shell cp -r replaces os.dirs / os.files glob (silent no-ops in 0.4.9)
* declare upstream url + sha256 (mirrors.edge.kernel.org, derives the
v<MAJOR.MINOR>/ subdir from version)
* deps: explicit xim:gcc + xim:make + xim:xpkg-helper (previously
pulled in transitively via xim:configure-project-installer)
Build flags:
--disable-eject (skip scsi/scsi.h dep)
--disable-makeinstall-chown
--disable-makeinstall-setuid (drop sudo install path; xpkg
binaries get xvm-shimmed into
subos/default/bin and root
perms aren't useful inside the
per-user xpkg dir anyway)
--without-systemd
--without-systemdsystemunitdir (no systemd in xpkg sysroot)
--disable-asciidoc (skip docs)
--disable-bash-completion (would write outside prefix to
/usr/share/bash-completion)
Verified end-to-end in xlings 0.4.9 iso (with cluster-B leaf 3
ncurses MERGED upstream as #64):
✓ configure -> make -j8 -> make install
✓ produced bin/{uuidgen,lsblk,mount,fdisk,hwclock,…}
✓ produced lib/{libuuid,libmount,libblkid,libfdisk,libsmartcols,
liblastlog2}.so.1.x.y + soname symlinks
✓ headers (incl. libmount/, blkid/, uuid/, …) shell-copied to
subos sysroot
✓ "9 package(s) installed" exit 0
Cluster B leaf 7/8.

#69) Switch fromsource:python (cpython) to its own inline autotools build, applying the cluster-A sandbox-fix template. This is the last cluster B leaf and exercises every other cluster-B fix end-to-end (zlib, openssl, ncurses, readline, libffi, bzip2, xz-utils, util-linux/libuuid). * paths derived from pkginfo.install_file() (path.absolute is nil) * configure + make + install chained in single sh -c (os.cd doesn't propagate to system.exec children) * fixed -j8 * deps: explicit xim:gcc + xim:make + xim:xpkg-helper (previously pulled in transitively via xim:configure-project-installer) * license: humanized string -> SPDX PSF-2.0 * env exports kept inline in sh -c (TZDIR, CPPFLAGS, LDFLAGS) so they reach the configure subprocess; os.setenv at lua scope didn't reach configure's grandchildren via xpkg-helper indirection in the legacy flow. CPPFLAGS / LDFLAGS extensions: -I<sysroot>/usr/include core stdlib deps -I<sysroot>/usr/include/ncurses for `<termcap.h>` / `<curses.h>` flat lookup (ncurses installs these under the ncurses/ subdir) -I<sysroot>/usr/include/openssl for openssl 3 headers (some are under the openssl/ subdir) -L<sysroot>/lib find xvm-shimmed shared libs -Wl,-rpath,/home/xlings/.xlings_data/subos/linux/lib bake canonical xlings runtime lib path so the produced python binary loads its dependent shared libs from a user-machine install, not the build host Configure flags: --enable-shared ship libpython3.13.so for embedders --with-computed-gotos faster main loop dispatch --enable-ipv6 IPv6 sockets --enable-loadable-sqlite-extensions ready for future fromsource:sqlite3 --with-system-ffi link against fromsource:libffi Verified end-to-end in xlings 0.4.9 iso (with cluster B 1..7 all MERGED upstream as #62..#68): ✓ configure -> make -j8 -> make install (~1m20s with deps cached) ✓ produced bin/python3, bin/pip3, bin/idle3, bin/python3-config ✓ produced lib/libpython3.13.so.1.0 ✓ python3 --version -> 3.13.1 ✓ stdlib import sanity: - zlib (zlib 1.3.1) - ssl (OpenSSL 3.1.5 30 Jan 2024) - hashlib (sha256 round-trip) - lzma (xz-utils via _lzma) - bz2 (bzip2) - uuid (util-linux libuuid) - readline (8.2 patched series) - ctypes (libffi) _sqlite3 is intentionally skipped (no fromsource:sqlite3 yet — tracked under the existing "TODO: gdbm, sqlite3, tk/tkinter" line in deps). Cluster B leaf 8/8 — sweep complete. Net effect across cluster B: `grep -lR configure-project-installer pkgs/` should now match zero.
