This patch changes the way of how the client-selected sub directory is communicated to the server. The former opaque session argument is now passed as last label element, which allows for the flexible tweaking of this argument by init's session-routing and label-rewriting mechansims. In particular, it alleviates the need for creating chroot component instances. This change requires the following four adaptations at the configuration level: - Each file-system session request must now carry a path starting with / as last session arguments. Hence, <vfs> <fs> nodes that feature a 'label' attributes must extend the attribute value with " -> /". For <fs> nodes with no label attribute, "/" is used as last label argument by default. - For matching session-routing rules at init's configuration, the matching of full labels should be replaced by 'label_prefix' matches, excluding the last (path) argument. - Wherever a label of a file-system session is rewritten by using init's 'label' attribute of a <parent> or <child> target node, the new attribute 'identity' should be used instead. This replaces the identity part of the label while preserving the client's directory argument. - Analogously to the matching of session-routing rules, server-side policy-selection rules that formerly matched a concrete 'label' must be changed to match a 'label_prefix' instead. As a good practice, 'label_prefix' values should end with " ->" if possible, which clearly delimits the identity part of the label used by the matching. Issue #5445
This directory contains ports of 3rd-party libraries to Genode. Usage ----- The tool './tool/ports/prepare_port' in the toplevel directory automates the task of downloading and preparing the 3rd-party source codes. One can select individual ports that have to be prepared by specifying their base names (without the version number) as command-line argument. For example, the following command prepares both the C library and the Freetype library: ! ./tool/ports/prepare_port libc freetype To compile and link against 3rd-party libraries of the 'libports' repository, you have to include the repository into the build process by appending it to the 'REPOSITORIES' declaration of your '<build-dir>/etc/build.conf' file. Under the hood -------------- For each library, there is a file contained in the 'libports/ports/' subdirectory. The file is named after the library and contains the library-specific rules for downloading the source code and installing header files. How does 'libports' relate to the other repositories? ----------------------------------------------------- Most libraries hosted in the 'libports' repository expect a complete C library, which is provided via the 'libc' port. The libc, in turn, depends on the 'os' repository for its back end.
