Crazy time: We're building a tool to convert a selection of .eopkg packages into .stone packages to be consumed by moss-rs to vastly accelerate the development of Serpent OS and Solus 5.

Plan:

  • CLI tool takes an indexURI argument
  • Group eopkg packages into source-ids
  • Map these back to the package.yml in the Solus monorepo
  • Using provided filter, fetch and process the relevant package groups
  • For each "source", emit stone.yml:
    • Explode the install.tar.xz's into pkg/import
    • Generate basic recipe to install files
    • Add stone.yml path globs and metadata
  • Use boulder to mass-produce a dirty-import-repo
  • Use dirty-import-repo as bootstrap for new Solus 5/Serpent OS with new target repo and clean recipes
  • Provide source recipe conversion tool
  • Profit.

Note: This method bypasses the need to rewrite boulder into Rust just yet, allowing us to reuse our existing solutions to perform the mass conversion and rebootstrap / cleanup, as well as augmenting the bootstrap repo with soname, pkgconfig dependencies etc.

Timeline

This, and moss-rs, are effectively priority 1 for Serpent.
