systemd-sysext allows to overlay another image (or multiple) ontop of
a "base-image" = the current rootfs, via the use of overlayfs; to add
tools and features meant for development purposes.

To quote the documentation on systemd-sysext:
" ...addition in order to make debugging/development easier). System
extension images should not be misunderstood as a generic software
packaging framework, ..."

To build a lean image, that only holds packages that are not already
part of the base-image, a snapshot of the package-database is taken
after the installation of the base-rootfs is done, and picked up again
when collecting the rootfs of such a extension image.

with all this in place an example usage could look like this:
some-core-image.bb
  inherit core-image
  IMAGE_GEN_PKGDBFS = "1"

extending-image.bb
  inherit image-sysext
  IMAGE_FSTYPES = "squashfs"
  IMAGE_BASE_PKGDB = "some-core-image"
  # the above pointing at a package-db similar to:
  # build/deploy/images/$MACHINE/some-core-image-$MACHINE-20240210172305-pkgdb.rootfs.tar.gz

then on the device, running some-core-image, with the extension image placed at FN:
$> ln -s "$FN" /run/extensions/$(basename $FN).raw
$> systemd-sysext list
$> SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug systemd-sysext merge

As long as the VERSION_ID of the extension image matches the os-release
in the base image, the above commands return sucessfully;
for details on the compativility check see the docs for systemd-sysext.

=========

changes with v2:
        rebase from 'kirkstone' onto 'master'

changes with v3:
	incorporate review suggestions for simplification
	add task dependency handling
	add oe-selftest for the pkgdb handling
	add variable documentation and
	some more comments, and examples in the commit-msg

changes with v4:
	rebase onto 'master' => no functional changes
	fixed patchtest findings

changes with v5:
        rebase onto 'master'
	add '.sysext' to the deployed symlink name
        sidenote on the tests and autobuilder failure: run locally they succeed, e.g.:
          #> oe-selftest --verbose -r imagefeatures.ImageFeatures.test_image_gen_pkgdbfs

changes with v6:
	restructure test to call 'bitbake' only once in the testcase itself
	  (in hopes of solving the autobuilder problem; local test runs succeed)

archive the package database after the rootfs has been put together as
*rootfs-pkdbfs.tar.gz, and put it into the deploy folder.

This creates a snapshot of the package mangers state at the point in
time when all dependencies have been resolved and installed; which
could be used by "extension images" to built upon.

set the package-database of a "lower image" to unpack and build upon
when installing packages for the current image. This way a lean image
will be created, which only holds the packages that are not already
present in the lower image.

An image build such could then be used with overlayfs or systemd-
sysext to extend the "lower image" on demand; for development purposes
on a device running the "lower image" in RO mode for example.

A configuration could look as follows:
  some-core-image.bb
    inherit image
    IMAGE_GEN_PKGDBFS = "1"

  extending-image.bb
    inherit image
    IMAGE_BASE_PKGDB = "some-core-image"

systemd-sysext can load a raw-image containing usr/ and opt/ folders
to mount them as RO overlay over the rootfs, to "extend" the systems.

This class provides the necessary changes/additions to the enclosed
file-system so that systemd-sysext accepts the extension for "merge"
into the rootfs.

With such an created image, placed into the correct folder (see [1]),
`systemd-sysext list` should be able to list the "extension" and
`systemd-sysext merge` should enable the overlay. On both commands a
preceding "SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug" can aide in figuring out what is
amiss.

The strict name checking systemd-sysext does against the name of
extension-release.NAME file, is disabled, as there is only one such in
the resulting image. This is done to allow a user to freely rename the
resulting image file.
Note that for e.g. squashfs, the kernel needs CONFIG_SQUASHFS_XATTR=y

Hoi Alexandre,


and thanks again for pointing out the build-failure.

but since the recent test restructuring didn't help either... i could use help to reproduce what the autobuilder is *exactly* doing :-S
because when running the tests directly, they pass (see below)

my guess is that in the whole/complete test-run the autobuilder pulls sth out of the (sstate) cache instead of actually building the image with the different feature-set?
or could it be some other side-effect when the whole test-set is run?

i had based the testcases for this patch-set on the others already present - so the same logical flow of building images is used (or did i miss sth?)

any hints/pointers/thoughts would be greatly appreciated :-)
