Make shell a little bit safer with:
- add-default-case
- check-extra-masked-returns
- check-set-e-suppressed
- quote-safe-variables
- check-unassigned-uppercase
Although there are some stylistic decisions for uniformity:
- avoid-nullary-conditions
- deprecated-which
- require-variable-braces
Editorconfig can only act based on file extension and path, not
attributes, it remains a mean only for multiple collaborators to use the
same configuration on their editor. When it is too restrictive, such as
not considering the file syntax, use a lint tool for the specific file
type instead of trusting editorconfig. Changes were made to increase
readability.
Only way to have a unified markdown syntax is to enforce the wanted
syntax by linting the files. Don't rely on the many markdown syntaxes,
be consistent.
Passing files to Dom0 is always dangerous:
- Passing a git repository is dangerous as it can have ignored modified
files and signature verification will pass.
- Passing an archive is troublesome for updates.
- Passing an RPM package depends on the RPM verification to be correct,
some times it is not.
- Passing a RPM repository definition is less troublesome for the user,
as it is a small file to verify the contents and update mechanism is
via the package manager. Trust in RPM verification is still required.
Many improvements were made to the build scripts:
- requires-program: Single function to check if program is installed;
- spec-get: Sort project names for the usage message;
- spec-get: Only running commands that are necessary;
- spec-get: Fix empty summary when readme has copyright header;
- spec-gen: Fix grep warning of escaped symbol;
- spec-build: Sign RPM and verify signature;
- spec-build: Only lint the first SPEC for faster runtime;
- yumrepo-gen: Generate a local yum repository with signed metadata;
- qubesbuilder-gen: Generate a .qubesbuilder based on tracked projects;
- release: Build, sign and push all RPMs to repository.
Goal is to be able to build with qubes-builderv2 Qubes Executor.
