-# Docker test-build script - design
-
-Date: 2026-07-13
-
-## Purpose
-
-A single bash script that verifies an already-published SBo package still
-builds cleanly on a target Slackware version, inside a throwaway docker
-container. This is the "test-build" step of this repo's maintenance loop
-(track upstream -> bump -> **test-build** -> make tarball).
-
-The container is disposable, so unlike a real `slackrepo build` this runs
-directly (no host install), and Claude may run it (per the repo's
-`Who builds SlackBuilds` exception).
-
-## Scope and non-goals
-
-- One target package per run: `test-build <pkg>`.
-- Two Slackware targets: `-current` (default) and `15.0` (`--stable`).
-- Resolves the target's SBo dependency tree from the LOCAL SBo tree, builds
- deps then target in the container, reports, discards everything.
-- NOT a redistributable-package builder. The container's built `.txz` is
- throwaway; the SBo submission tarball is made separately (post-commit hook)
- only after a green run.
-- Does NOT wrap slackrepo or sbo-batch-test. It REUSES sbo-batch-test's
- resolver + build logic, adapted, but is an independent script.
-- Shares the host kernel (docker). No kernel-module build claims.
-
-## Why not the overlay approach (sbo-batch-test)
-
-`sbo-batch-test` already resolves deps + builds + reports, but against a
-LOCAL overlayfs over a 15.0 base. In docker the container IS the disposable
-base, and overlayfs-over-docker-storage (itself overlayfs) is fragile. So we
-drop the overlay layer and build directly in the container. We port
-sbo-batch-test's dep resolver and its `build_one` chroot heredoc
-(download -> md5 -> build -> installpkg -> status token) into a `docker run`.
-
-## Architecture
-
-Single self-contained bash script (`test-build`, location TBD in
-implementation - likely `.extras/`). Host does resolution + orchestration;
-the container does the actual building.
-
-```
-host: parse args, load config
-host: pick version -> image tag + SBo tree
-host: resolve dep tree (local tree, topo sort) [ported from sbo-batch-test]
-host: apply current-vs-stable overrides
-host: print final build order, Y/n confirm (--yes: still prints first)
- docker run --rm -v <tree>:ro -v <pkg>:ro -v <cache/digest>:ro <image>:
- for each dep in order:
- cache hit (version match) -> installpkg from cache (CACHED)
- else -> download/md5/build/installpkg + cache
- target: download/md5/build/installpkg (always fresh)
- target: sbopkglint on the built .txz
-host: collect per-package results, print color summary
-container discarded (--rm)
-```
-
-### Images (external input, not built by this script)
-
-The script does NOT build images. It consumes a ready image per version,
-tagged locally:
-
-- current: `sbo-testbuild:current`
-- 15.0: `sbo-testbuild:15.0`
-
-Each image is a FULL, patched Slackware install (SBo tests against a full
-install; a minimal base causes false "missing dependency" results, a lesson
-from sbo-batch-tester) plus `sbo-maintainer-tools` (for `sbopkglint`) and
-`sbopkg` configured to that version's SBo repo (`:current` -> -current repo,
-`:15.0` -> 15.0 repo).
-
-**How the images are produced is out of scope for this script.** A separate
-nightly job (a LAN machine, images stored on the NAS, later served from a
-local registry) builds and refreshes them. That builder is its own tool,
-specced separately.
-
-For now the script assumes the tagged image is present locally: it runs
-`docker run` against the tag and errors with a clear message if the image is
-missing (pointing at the image-builder job). When the local registry exists,
-a `docker pull` of the tag slots in ahead of the run via the same config,
-no other change.
-
-Per-run cost is just the SlackBuild's own build time + ~1s container start.
-
-### Config (external file)
-
-`~/.config/sbo-testbuild/config`, empty defaults in-script, sourced if
-present (same pattern as sbo-batch-test). Keys:
-
-```sh
-SBO_TREE_CURRENT=/path/to/SBo-current # local SBo tree, -current
-SBO_TREE_STABLE=/path/to/SBo-15.0 # local SBo tree, 15.0
-IMAGE_CURRENT=sbo-testbuild:current # ready image tag (built elsewhere)
-IMAGE_STABLE=sbo-testbuild:15.0
-LOG_ROOT=/path/to/logs
-PKG_CACHE=/path/to/cache # dep cache; empty = disabled
-```
-
-The version flag selects BOTH the image and the tree together (default
-current; `--stable` / `15.0` switches both), so tree and image never mismatch.
-
-### current-vs-stable overrides
-
-A data file next to the config, `~/.config/sbo-testbuild/overrides`. It
-encodes the known deltas between building on 15.0 and on -current. Applied
-ONLY when the target version is `-current` (15.0 is the SBo baseline). Three
-rule kinds:
-
-```
-# dep present in 15.0 but already in -current base -> drop from order
-drop: rust
-# dep renamed on -current -> map old -> new before lookup
-rename: python3-foo -> foo
-# dep removed from the -current tree -> fetch from SBo instead of local tree
-fetch: somelib
-```
-
-Format: one rule per line, `kind: value` (rename uses `old -> new`), `#`
-comments and blank lines ignored.
-
-### Dependency resolution + unknown deps
-
-Resolver is ported from sbo-batch-test (`resolve_target` / `_resolve_visit`,
-DFS topo sort + cycle detection, `installed_in_base` check). Runs on the host
-against the selected tree.
-
-After resolving and applying overrides, every dep must be accounted for:
-in base, in the tree, or covered by a `fetch:` rule. If a dep is none of
-those (and no rule covers it), the script **stops before building**, reports
-it as UNMET, and asks the user to add an override rule and rerun, or abort.
-Never silently skip or guess.
-
-### Confirmation
-
-Always print the final build order before building, with overrides marked
-(dropped / renamed / fetch). Then `Y/n` to proceed. `--yes` skips the prompt
-for non-interactive/agent runs but STILL prints the order first.
-
-`--dry-run` resolves, applies overrides, prints the order, and exits without
-building (no confirm).
-
-### Build in container (ported from build_one)
-
-Deps then target, in order. For each package, inside the container:
-
-1. download sources (arch-specific `DOWNLOAD_x86_64`/`MD5SUM_x86_64` when
- present, else `DOWNLOAD`/`MD5SUM`)
-2. verify md5
-3. `bash <pkg>.SlackBuild` with `OUTPUT` forced to a known dir
-4. `installpkg` the resulting `.txz`
-5. write a status token read back by the host
-
-`fetch:` deps (removed from the -current tree) are pulled via the baked-in
-`sbopkg`, which points at the image's matching SBo repo; everything else
-builds from the mounted local tree. Start light: handle only the few known
-`fetch:` cases, add rules as real packages need them.
-
-### Dependency cache
-
-Ported from sbo-batch-tester (`cache_decision`/`cache_path`/`cache_store`/
-`version_of`). A host dir caches built dep packages so consecutive runs reuse
-them instead of rebuilding the whole tree.
-
-- Config `PKG_CACHE=/path` enables it; empty (default) disables. `--no-cache`
- forces a full rebuild for one run.
-- Bind-mounted read-only into the container; a cached dep is `installpkg`ed
- instead of built (status `CACHED`). Storing is host-side: a freshly built
- package is written to `OUTPUT` (a mounted dir the host reads back), and the
- host copies it into the cache after the build (`cache_store`), so the cache
- mount stays read-only. The **target always builds fresh** and refreshes its
- own cache entry; it is never `CACHED`.
-- Key = prog + version (build/arch/tag ignored). Layout mirrors the SBo tree:
- `$PKG_CACHE/<image-digest>/<category>/<prog>/<prog>-<ver>-...txz`, one .txz
- per prog.
-- **Invalidation by image digest.** The cache is namespaced by the running
- image's digest. When the digest changes (image updated by the nightly job),
- the old namespace is stale: its deps were built against the previous image,
- so they are ignored and rebuilt once under the new digest. This also keeps
- the `:current` and `:15.0` caches separate (different images, different
- digests). Old digest namespaces can be pruned.
-- A per-dep version bump (`bump: OLD -> NEW`) rebuilds and re-caches that dep.
-- Build-order line shows the outcome per dep: `cached (1.1)`,
- `rebuild: 1.0 -> 1.1`, or `build (new)`; `--dry-run` shows the same without
- building.
-
-### Target lint
-
-After the target builds, run `sbopkglint` on its `.txz` (tool baked into the
-image). Fail-soft: findings reported but do not change SUCCESS; missing tool
-prints a skip note. Target only (deps are vetted).
-
-### Report
-
-Per-package status + a color summary (screen) and a plain-text log under
-`LOG_ROOT/<timestamp>/`:
-
-```
-<timestamp>/
- <prog>.log per-package full build/install output
- summary.log plain recap
- build-order.txt the resolved+overridden order actually used
-```
-
-Status values (from sbo-batch-test):
-`SUCCESS CACHED DOWNLOAD-FAILED MD5-MISMATCH BUILD-FAILED INSTALL-FAILED
-BLOCKED-BY-DEP UNMET-DEP`. `CACHED` = a dep installed from the cache instead
-of rebuilt (target is never CACHED). `%README%` deps flagged as a reminder,
-not built.
-
-A fully green run tells the user it is safe to make the SBo submission tarball
-on the host (the container is no longer needed).
-
-## Options (planned)
-
-| Option | Effect |
-|--------|--------|
-| `--stable` / `15.0` | Target 15.0 (image + tree). Default is -current. |
-| `--dry-run` | Resolve + apply overrides + print order, no build. |
-| `--yes` | Skip the Y/n confirm (still prints the order). |
-| `--no-cache` | Rebuild all deps this run, ignore/refresh the cache. |
-| `--no-color` | Disable ANSI (auto-off when not a TTY). |
-| `-h`, `--help` | Usage. |
-
-## Self-check
-
-A `test-logic.sh` (host, no docker) covering the pure logic:
-
-- dep topo order + cycle detection (ported tests from sbo-batch-test)
-- override application: drop removes, rename maps, fetch marks source
-- unknown-dep -> UNMET stop
-- BLOCKED-BY-DEP propagation
-- cache decision: `cached`/`rebuild: OLD -> NEW`/`build (new)`, digest
- namespacing, version-bump eviction (ported from sbo-batch-tester's tests)
-
-Docker/build/installpkg paths are out of the self-check's reach (verified by
-running a real target), same boundary as sbo-batch-test.
-
-## Resolved decisions
-
-- **Image**: a ready FULL-install image per version (full pkg set +
- `sbo-maintainer-tools` + `sbopkg` on that version's repo), built by a
- separate nightly job, NOT by this script. Script consumes it by tag.
-- **Missing image**: error clearly, point at the image-builder job. A local
- registry `docker pull` slots in later via the same tag, no script change.
-- **`fetch:`**: via the image's `sbopkg` (per-version repo). Start with only
- the few known cases; grow the override rules as needed.
-- **Script location**: `.extras/` (a tool, not a package).
-
-## Out of scope / later
-
-- The nightly image-builder (full-install + tools + sbopkg per version, NAS
- storage, local registry). Its own tool, specced when the LAN machine is set
- up.
-- Local registry pull step in this script (slots into the same config tag).

-# sbo-testbuild image builder — design
-
-Date: 2026-07-13
-Status: approved (design)
-
-## Purpose
-
-Produce and serve the docker images the `.extras/test-build` tool consumes.
-`.extras/test-build` verifies a published SBo package still builds on a target
-Slackware version inside a throwaway container; it does **not** build the
-images, it only checks image presence by tag and errors if absent. This is the
-missing image-builder job.
-
-Images produced (x86_64 only for now):
-
-- `sbo-testbuild:current` — Slackware -current, full install + sbopkg +
- sbo-maintainer-tools
-- `sbo-testbuild:15.0` — Slackware 15.0, same
-
-Served from a LAN docker registry so `.extras/test-build`'s `require_image`
-can `docker pull` them, and so `installed_in_base` can later query the image's
-package db.
-
-## Infrastructure
-
-Self-hosted on a Slackware VM (proxmox node), fully offline from the public
-internet for the Slackware bits:
-
-- **Host**: `docker.noland.dnx` (LAN DNS), Slackware x86_64, 4 vCPU / 4 GB RAM
- / 80 GB disk.
-- **NAS trees**: two standard Slackware mirror trees NFS-mounted read-only:
- - `/mnt/nas/slackware64-current`
- - `/mnt/nas/slackware64-15.0`
- Each is a full mirror tree (`PACKAGES.TXT`, `ChangeLog.txt`, `slackware64/`
- series dirs, `patches/`, `extra/`).
-- **Registry**: `registry:2` container on the VM, port 5000, plain HTTP (LAN
- only). Pull path `docker.noland.dnx:5000/sbo-testbuild:{tag}`.
-- **Local .txz drop**: `/opt/sbo-testbuild/pkgs/` holds `sbopkg-*.txz` and
- `sbo-maintainer-tools-*.txz`, provided by the user (sbopkg packaged from the
- user's SBo repo). Installed into the image, not built in it (hermetic, no
- build-time deps).
-
-Both `docker.noland.dnx` and every client that pulls (this dev box, the
-`buildsystem` VM) need the registry marked insecure in
-`/etc/docker/daemon.json`:
-`{"insecure-registries":["docker.noland.dnx:5000"]}`, then `docker` restarted.
-
-i586 is out of scope for now; the variant list is written to extend to it
-later without restructuring.
-
-## Architecture
-
-Three scripts, chained, adapted from the forge repo
-`slackware/docker-images` (`scripts/bootstrap.sh`, `build-full-image.sh`,
-`build-builder-image.sh`). The forge `build-builder-image.sh` is **not** used:
-the full image already ships the toolchain (series d, kde, x, etc.), so a
-separate builder layer is redundant here.
-
-```
-bootstrap.sh FROM scratch; installpkg base pkgs read from NAS
- → sbo-base:{ver} via file://; configure rootfs for container use.
-
-build-full-image.sh FROM sbo-base:{ver}; slackpkg install every series
- → sbo-full:{ver} (a ap d e f k kde l n t tcl x xap xfce y).
-
-build-sbo-testbuild.sh FROM sbo-full:{ver}; installpkg sbopkg +
- → sbo-testbuild:{ver} sbo-maintainer-tools from /opt/sbo-testbuild/pkgs.
-```
-
-All three push to `docker.noland.dnx:5000`.
-
-### Namespacing
-
-Forge scripts push to `registry.slackware.nl/slackware/slackware*`. Re-namespace
-to the LAN registry with our own image names:
-
-- `docker.noland.dnx:5000/sbo-base:{ver}`
-- `docker.noland.dnx:5000/sbo-full:{ver}`
-- `docker.noland.dnx:5000/sbo-testbuild:{ver}`
-
-`sbo-base` and `sbo-full` are intermediate; `.extras/test-build` only pulls
-`sbo-testbuild`.
-
-## Configuration
-
-Single shared file `config`, sourced by all scripts and the test:
-
-```sh
-REGISTRY=docker.noland.dnx:5000
-MIRROR=file:///mnt/nas
-VARIANTS=(current 15.0) # x86_64 only for now
-PKGDIR=/opt/sbo-testbuild/pkgs # sbopkg + sbo-maintainer-tools .txz
-```
-
-The forge scripts hardcode `MIRROR=https://slackware.nl/slackware` and
-`REGISTRY=registry.slackware.nl/...`; both move to the shared config.
-
-### NAS path mapping
-
-bootstrap derives the per-variant repo dir as `slackware64-${VERSION}` for
-x86_64 (`DIRSUFFIX=64`). With `MIRROR=file:///mnt/nas` this resolves to
-`file:///mnt/nas/slackware64-current/...` and `.../slackware64-15.0/...`,
-matching the mount points. Mounts must be named to match.
-
-## Patches to the forge scripts
-
-1. **`file://`-aware fetch.** Forge downloads `PACKAGES.TXT` and packages with
- `curl` over http. Replace with one helper in `lib.sh` that detects a
- `file://` (or bare-local) MIRROR and uses `cp`, otherwise `curl`. curl's
- own `file://` support is unreliable across builds, so branch explicitly.
-2. **Drop i586.** `ALL_VARIANTS` becomes the config `VARIANTS` (x86_64 only).
- All the `ARCH_SUFFIX`/`-i586` machinery collapses to the x86_64 path.
-3. **Re-namespace + LAN registry** (see Namespacing).
-4. **MIRROR → `file:///mnt/nas`** (see config).
-
-## Data flow and rebuild gating
-
-Nightly cron on the VM (root; `bootstrap` needs `installpkg`):
-
-```cron
- 0 4 * * * bootstrap.sh
-15 4 * * * build-full-image.sh
-30 4 * * * build-sbo-testbuild.sh
-```
-
-Rebuild gating (kept from the forge scripts, extended):
-
-- **bootstrap**: sha256 of the NAS `ChangeLog.txt` (read via `file://`)
- compared to a stored hash under `HASH_DIR`; skip the variant if unchanged.
-- **build-full-image**: base image digest recorded as a label on the full
- image; pull base, compare, skip if unchanged.
-- **build-sbo-testbuild**: full image digest label, same pattern; **plus** a
- hash of the `.txz` set in `PKGDIR`, so a sbopkg / sbo-maintainer-tools bump
- forces a rebuild even when the full image is unchanged.
-
-Net effect: a quiet NAS tree makes the whole chain no-op in seconds; a
--current churn cascades base → full → testbuild.
-
-### Local-registry digest consistency
-
-The forge scripts read the base/full digest via `docker inspect RepoDigests`
-after `docker pull`. Self-hosted, those intermediate images live in the LAN
-registry, so pull-then-inspect must target `docker.noland.dnx:5000`. Since
-every image name is derived from `REGISTRY`, re-namespacing handles this with
-no extra logic.
-
-## Error handling
-
-- `set -euo pipefail` in every script (forge already has it).
-- **Missing NAS mount**: guard `[[ -d /mnt/nas/slackware64-$ver ]]` first;
- `_err` if absent.
-- **Missing `.txz`**: `build-sbo-testbuild` errors before building if
- `PKGDIR` lacks a `sbopkg-*.txz` or `sbo-maintainer-tools-*.txz` — never push
- a testbuild image missing sbopkg.
-- **Registry unreachable**: `docker push` fails under `set -e`; the chain
- aborts. The base/full may already be built locally; cron retries next night.
- Acceptable.
-- **Per-variant isolation**: one variant failing (e.g. current) must not block
- the other (15.0). Each variant runs wrapped; log the failure, continue, and
- exit non-zero at the end so cron logs surface it.
-
-## Testing
-
-Pure-logic pieces get a `test-image-builder.sh` self-check, matching the
-existing `.extras/test-build` pattern (`.extras/test-logic.sh`, assert-based,
-no framework). No docker daemon in tests — hermetic.
-
-- **`file://` fetch helper**: local file resolves via cp; missing local file
- errors; an http MIRROR still routes to curl.
-- **`.txz`-set hash**: stable across file reordering; changes when a file's
- content changes.
-- **variant guard**: a missing mount dir yields non-zero.
-
-The real end-to-end chain is verified by a manual first run on the VM (the user
-runs it and reports back), the same division of labor as `.extras/test-build`
-Task 10.
-
-## Layout

-```
-
-Lives in `.extras/` for now (per the user), relocatable later.
-
-The README carries the user-side checklist so it is reproducible and not
-trapped in chat:
-
-- VM specs (4/4/80), Slackware x86_64, docker installed.
-- Two NFS mounts (ro), root-readable, named `slackware64-current` /
- `slackware64-15.0` under `/mnt/nas`.
-- `registry:2` container: `-v /opt/registry/data:/var/lib/registry`,
- `--restart=always`, port 5000.
-- `/etc/docker/daemon.json` insecure-registry entry on the VM **and** on every
- pulling client (this dev box, `buildsystem`), docker restarted.
-- Drop `sbopkg-*.txz` and `sbo-maintainer-tools-*.txz` into
- `/opt/sbo-testbuild/pkgs/`.
-- Install the three cron lines.
-- VM static IP / LAN DNS for `docker.noland.dnx`.
-
-## Out of scope
-
-- i586 images (extensible later via `VARIANTS` / arch machinery).
-- Building sbopkg / sbo-maintainer-tools from source in the image (installed
- from prebuilt `.txz`).
-- The forge `build-builder-image.sh` toolchain layer (redundant with full).
-- `installed_in_base` implementation in `.extras/test-build` — unblocked by
- this work (queries the built image's package db) but tracked separately.
-- Registry auth / TLS (LAN-only plain HTTP).
