<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Introduction</a></h1>
<p><em>roverlay</em> is an application that aims to provide integration of R packages
in Gentoo by creating a portage overlay for them.
Naturally, this also requires proper dependency resolution, especially on the
system level which cannot be done by <em>install.packages()</em> in R.</p>
<p>The project associated with <em>roverlay</em> is called
<em>Automatically generated overlay of R packages</em>, the initial work has been
done during the <em>Google Summer of Code 2012</em>.</p>
<p>At its current state, <em>roverlay</em> is capable of creating a complete overlay
with metadata and Manifest files by reading R packages.
It is also able to work incrementally, i.e. update an existing <em>R Overlay</em>.
Most aspects of overlay creation are configurable with text files.</p>
<p><em>roverlay</em> is written in python. A homepage is not available, only a
<a class="reference external" href="http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/R_overlay.git;a=summary">git repository</a> that contains the source code.</p>
<p>This document is targeted at</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li><p class="first">overlay maintainers who <strong>use roverlay</strong> to create the R Overlay</p>
<p>The most relevant chapters are <a class="reference internal" href="#installation">Installation</a> (2) and
<a class="reference internal" href="#running-roverlay">Running Roverlay</a> (3). Additionally, have a look at
<a class="reference internal" href="#basic-implementation-overview">Basic Implementation Overview</a> (4) if you want to know what <em>roverlay</em>
does and what to expect from the generated overlay.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first"><em>roverlay</em> maintainers who <strong>control and test overlay creation</strong>,
e.g. configure which R packages will be part of the generated overlay</p>
<p>Depending on what you want to configure, chapters 5-11 are relevant,
namely <a class="reference internal" href="#repositories-getting-packages">Repositories / Getting Packages</a>, <cite>Additions Directory</cite>,
<a class="reference internal" href="#dependency-rules">Dependency Rules</a>, <a class="reference internal" href="#package-rules">Package Rules</a>, <a class="reference internal" href="#configuration-reference">Configuration Reference</a>
and <a class="reference internal" href="#field-definition-config">Field Definition Config</a>.</p>
<p>There is another chapter that is only interesting for testing, the
<a class="reference internal" href="#dependency-resolution-console">Dependency Resolution Console</a> (12.1), which can be used to
interactively test dependency rules.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first"><em>roverlay</em> code maintainers who want to know <strong>how roverlay works</strong> for
code improvements etc.</p>
<p>The most important chapter is <a class="reference internal" href="#implementation-overview">Implementation Overview</a> (14) which has
references to other chapters (4-13) where required.</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">developers who intend to <strong>use roverlay's functionality outside of roverlay</strong></p>
<p>The most important chapter is <a class="reference internal" href="#roverlay-interface">Roverlay Interface</a>, which gives an
overview of <em>roverlay's</em> API.
Reading the other chapters (4-14) is recommended.</p>
</li>

<p><em>roverlay</em> needs a configuration file to run.
If roverlay has been installed with <em>emerge</em>,
it will look for the config file in that order:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li><em>~/roverlay/R-overlay.conf</em></li>
<li><em>/etc/roverlay/R-overlay.conf</em>,
which is part of the installation but has to be modified.</li>
</ol>
<p>Otherwise, <em>roverlay</em> uses <em>R-overlay.conf</em> in the current directory.
An example config file is available in the <em>R Overlay src directory</em>.</p>
<p>The config file is a text file with '&lt;option&gt; = &lt;value&gt;' syntax. Some options
accept multiple values (e.g. &lt;option&gt; = file1, file2), in which case the
values have to be enclosed with quotes (-&gt; <tt class="docutils literal">&lt;option&gt; = &quot;file1 file2&quot;</tt>).</p>
<p>If roverlay has been installed, then <tt class="docutils literal">emerge <span class="pre">--config</span> roverlay</tt> can be
used to set up the config file as well as to create essential directories.
It can be run multiple times in order to configure roverlay for more than
one user.</p>

<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">4.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;How <em>roverlay</em> works</a></h2>
<p>These are the steps that <em>roverlay</em> performs:</p>
<ol class="arabic">
<li><p class="first"><strong>sync</strong> - get R packages using various methods
(rsync, http, local directory)</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">scan the R Overlay directory (if it exists) for valid ebuilds</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">import ebuilds from the additions dir</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first"><strong>add</strong> - queue all R packages for ebuild creation</p>
<ul>
<li><p class="first">all repositories are asked to list their packages which are then added
to a queue</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">packages may be declined or manipulated by package rules</p>
<p>See also: <a class="reference internal" href="#package-rules">Package Rules</a></p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">packages may be declined by the overlay creator if they already have
an ebuild</p>
<p>The overlay is able to detect changes to the package file, e.g. when
upstream modified a package without renaming it. To realize this,
the package file's checksum (sha256) is compared with the ebuild's
entry in the <a class="reference internal" href="#distmap">distmap</a>. If they do match, then the package is declined
as it already exists. Otherwise, a revision bump is triggered.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><p class="first"><strong>create</strong> - process each package <em>p</em> from the package queue
(thread-able on a per package basis)</p>
<ul>
<li><p class="first">read <em>p</em>'s DESCRIPTION file that contains information fields
like 'Depends', 'Description' and 'Suggests'</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">resolve <em>p</em>'s dependencies</p>
<ul>
<li><p class="first">differentiate between <em>required</em> and <em>optional</em> dependencies
(for example, dependencies from the 'Depends' field are required,
while those from 'Suggests' are optional)</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first"><strong>immediately stop</strong> processing <em>p</em> if a <em>required</em> dependency
cannot be resolved in which case a valid ebuild cannot be created</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">verify dependencies on packages found in the overlay, whether their
ebuilds already exist or not (<em>selfdep validation</em>)</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>drop unsatisfiable <em>selfdeps</em></li>
<li><strong>stop</strong> processing <em>p</em> if a <em>required selfdep</em> is missing</li>
</ul>

<p><em>roverlay</em> uses a text file to store information about files in the package
mirror directory (<a class="reference internal" href="#overlay-distdir-root">OVERLAY_DISTDIR_ROOT</a>). This is necessary for comparing
package files from repos with files for which an ebuild has already been
created (in previous runs).</p>
<p>With the help of the <em>distmap file</em>, <em>roverlay</em> is able to determine whether
upstream has changed a package file silently and creates a revision-bumped
ebuild for the <em>new</em> package file.</p>
<p>The <em>distmap file</em> can optionally be compressed (bzip2 or gzip), which
reduces its size considerably.</p>

<div class="section" id="patching-ebuilds">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">6.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Patching ebuilds</a></h2>
<p>Patches can apply to a <strong>specific version</strong> or to <strong>all versions</strong> of a

<p>The naming convention for patches is (full filesystem paths relative to the
additions dir):</p>
<pre class="code text literal-block">
# version-specific patches
${CATEGORY}/${PN}/${PF}[-dddd].patch

# version-agnostic patches
${CATEGORY}/${PN}/${PN}[-dddd].patch
</pre>
<p>The <em>-dddd</em> part is optional and can be used to apply more than one patch to
an ebuild in the specified order. <em>d</em> should be a digit (0..9) and exactly
4 digits are expected. The not-numbered patch is always applied first.
So, in theory, up to 10001 patches per ebuild are supported.</p>
<p>The <em>default</em> (version-agnostic) patches are only applied to ebuilds for
which no version-specific patches exist.</p>
<p>Exempting a specific ebuild from being patched can be achieved by creating
an empty patch file (or a symlink to /dev/null). This is only necessary
if <em>default</em> patches are available, else it adds some overhead.</p>

<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Package Rules</a></h1>
<p>Package Rules can be used to control both overlay and ebuild creation.
Each package rule consists of conditions, e.g. <em>package name contains amd64</em>,
and actions, e.g. <em>set KEYWORDS=&quot;-x86 amd64&quot;</em>.
The actions of a rule will only be applied if a package meets all conditions,
otherwise the rule applies alternative actions (if defined) or does nothing.
Moreover, rules can contain further rules which will only take effect if all
enclosing rules match a given package.</p>
<div class="section" id="package-rule-file-syntax">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">8.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Package Rule File Syntax</a></h2>
<p>As stated above, each rule has two parts, a <em>match block</em> that lists the
rule's conditions and an <em>action block</em> that defines which actions and
nested rules are applied to a package if the rule matches it, i.e. if all
conditions are met. A rule can also contain an <em>alternative action block</em>
whose actions are applied to a package if the rule does not match it.</p>
<p>A rule file contains zero or more package rules.
Each rule has to declare one <em>match</em> and one
<em>[alternative] action statement</em> at least.
The basic syntax for a rule with 1..m <em>match</em>, 1..n <em>action statements</em> and
1..k <em>alternative action statements</em> is</p>
<pre class="code literal-block">
MATCH:
   &lt;match statement 1&gt;

ELSE:
   &lt;alternative action statement 1&gt;
   &lt;alternative action statement 2&gt;
   ...
   &lt;alternative action statement k&gt;
END;
</pre>
<p>A rule is introduced by the <tt class="docutils literal">MATCH:</tt> keyword, which starts the
<em>match block</em> and is followed by one or more <em>match statements</em>, one per line.
The <em>match block</em> ends with the <tt class="docutils literal">ACTION:</tt> keyword, which also starts the
<em>action block</em> and is followed by one or more <em>action statements</em>
(again, one per line). The <em>alternative action block</em> introduced by the
<tt class="docutils literal">ELSE:</tt> keyword is optional and lists <em>action statements</em>.
Finally, the rule is terminated by the <tt class="docutils literal">END;</tt> keyword.</p>
<p>Indention is purely optional, leading and ending whitespace will be discarded.
Lines starting with <tt class="docutils literal">#</tt> or <tt class="docutils literal">;</tt> are considered to be comments and will be
ignored.</p>
<div class="section" id="match-blocks">
<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">8.1.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Match Blocks</a></h3>
<p>The <em>match block</em> lists one or more conditions, which all must evaluate to
<em>true</em> for a certain package, otherwise no actions will be applied.
There are two types of conditions, <em>trivial</em> conditions,
e.g. <em>always true/false</em> or <em>random - flip a coin</em>, and <em>non-trivial</em> ones
that depend on the information a package has, e.g. its repository or name.</p>
<p>Only <em>non-trivial</em> conditions can be defined in <em>match statements</em>.
The consist of a <strong>match keyword</strong> that defines <em>what</em> should be matched, an
<strong>accepted value</strong> to compare against and an <strong>operator</strong> that defines the
relation <em>accepted value - package's information</em>, i.e. <em>how</em> to compare.
The operator can be omitted, in which case it is determined by the
<em>match keyword</em>.</p>

<h4><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">8.1.1.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Extended Match Block Syntax</a></h4>
<p>Sometimes, a rule should apply its actions to a package if it matches <em>any</em>
condition, e.g. <em>package from CRAN or BIOC</em>, or if it does not match a certain
condition, e.g. <em>package not from BIOC/experiment</em>.</p>
<p>This is supported by special <em>match keywords</em> that represent
<em>boolean functions</em>. Such a <em>match statement</em> is introduced by the keyword,
followed by one or more <em>match statements</em> that are indented by one asterisk
<tt class="docutils literal">*</tt> or dash <tt class="docutils literal">-</tt> character for each <em>boolean function</em> that is currently
active. These characters are important and indicate the <em>match depth</em>.
A depth of 0 means that no function is active.</p>
<p>Syntax Example:</p>
<pre class="code literal-block">
MATCH:
   &lt;match statement 1, match depth 0&gt;
   ...
   &lt;boolean function&gt;
   * &lt;match statement 1, match depth 1&gt;
   * &lt;match statement 2, match depth 1&gt;
   * ...
   * &lt;match statement m, match depth 1&gt;
   ...
   &lt;match statement n, match depth 0&gt;
ACTION:
   ...
END;
</pre>
<p>For reference, the following table lists the <em>boolean functions</em> available,
their <em>match keywords</em> and their meaning:</p>
<table border="1" class="docutils">
<caption>boolean functions</caption>

<col width="25%" />

</tbody>
</table>
<p>In other words, a (boolean) match keyword starts a <em>nested match block</em>
at any position in the current one and increases the <em>match depth</em> by one.
The nested block is terminated by indenting out, i.e. decreasing the
<em>match depth</em> by one. The (extended) match statement syntax then becomes:</p>
<pre class="code literal-block">
&lt;'*'^&lt;match_depth&gt;&gt; &lt;(basic) match statement&gt;
</pre>
<div class="note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>The extended match statement syntax does not support boolean functions
with a fixed number of conditions, e.g. 1. This is why there is no
<em>NOT</em> function. The definition for more than one condition would be
ambiguous, either <em>NOR</em> or <em>NAND</em>.</p>
<p>Correspondingly, the logic for the top-level match block is <em>AND</em> by
convention.</p>
<p class="last"><em>VERUM</em> and <em>FALSUM</em> do accept any nested condition.</p>
</div>
<p>Using this syntax, match blocks can be nested indefinitely (minus technical
limitations):</p>
<pre class="code literal-block">
MATCH:
   &lt;match statement 1, depth 0&gt;
   &lt;boolean function 2, depth 0&gt;
   * &lt;match statement 1, depth 1&gt;
   * &lt;match statement 2, depth 1&gt;
   * ...
   * &lt;match statement k-1, depth 1&gt;
   * &lt;boolean function k, depth 1&gt;
   ** &lt;match statement 1, depth 2&gt;
   ** ...
   ** &lt;match statement o, depth 2&gt;
   * &lt;match statement k+1, depth 1&gt;
   * ...
   * &lt;match statement m, depth 1&gt;

without touching <em>roverlay's</em> source code.</p>
<p>To realize this, <em>roverlay</em> determines whether a given event is permitted
(<a class="reference internal" href="#event-policy">event policy</a>) and, if so, creates a <a class="reference internal" href="#hook-environment">hook environment</a> and runs the
script. Additionally, shell scripts can load <em>roverlay's</em> <em>$FUNCTIONS</em> file,

<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">9.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Default event script</a></h2>
<p>The default event script (<tt class="docutils literal">mux.sh</tt>) loads <em>$FUNCTIONS</em> and then runs the
following script files (by sourcing them), in order:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li>all files from <a class="reference internal" href="#additions-dir">ADDITIONS_DIR</a>/hooks/&lt;event&gt; that end with <em>.sh</em>

<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">14&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Implementation Overview</a></h1>
<p>This chapter gives an in-depth overview of how roverlay works.
Code documentation is also available and html pages for it can be created
with <tt class="docutils literal">make pydoc</tt> in the <em>R Overlay src directory</em> or by using pydoc
directly.</p>
<div class="section" id="packageinfo">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">14.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;PackageInfo</a></h2>
<p><em>PackageInfo</em> is the data object that contains all information about an
R package and is created by the owning repository.</p>
<p>After initialization it contains data like</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>the path to the R package file</li>
<li>the origin (repository)</li>
<li>the SRC_URI</li>
<li>the package name, version</li>
</ul>
<p>Not all of these are really existent, some are calculated. <em>SRC_URI</em>,
for example, can often be calculated by combining the origin's &quot;root&quot; src uri
with the package file.</p>
<p>Initialization may fail if the package's name cannot be understood, which is
most likely due to unsupported versioning schemes.</p>
<p>It is then checked whether the newly created <em>PackageInfo p</em> can be part of
the overlay. The overlay may refuse to accept <em>p</em> if an ebuild already exists
for it. Otherwise, <em>p</em> is now part of the overlay and has to pass
<em>ebuild creation</em>.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="repository-management">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">14.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Repository Management</a></h2>
<p>Repositories are managed in a list-like object, <em>RepoList</em>. Its task is to
provide R package input for overlay creation and implements the following
functionality:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>load repository config from file(s)</li>
<li>directly add a directory as <em>local repository</em></li>
<li><em>sync</em> all repos and <em>nosync</em> all repos (offline mode)</li>
<li>create <em>PackageInfo</em> instances for R packages from all repositories</li>
</ul>
<div class="section" id="repository">
<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">14.2.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Repository</a></h3>
<p>The functionality described above is an abstraction layer that calls the
respective function for each repository and collects the result.
So, while the <em>RepoList</em> object knows <em>what</em> to do for all repositories,
a repository object <em>repo</em> extends this by:</p>
<ul>
<li><p class="first">data</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li><p class="first">repository <em>type</em></p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">filesystem directory <em>distdir</em> where <em>repo</em>'s R packages are stored</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">the <em>root src_uri</em>, which is used to determine the <em>SRC_URI</em> ebuild
variable for all packages from <em>repo</em>:</p>
<p><em>SRC_URI</em> = <em>root src_uri</em> + '/' + &lt;path of R package relative to <em>distdir</em>&gt;</p>
</li>
<li><p class="first">other data like the sync status, repository name</p>
</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
</li>
<li><p class="first">functionality</p>
<blockquote>
<ul class="simple">
<li>sync/nosync</li>
<li>create <em>PackageInfo</em> instances for all packages from <em>repo</em></li>
<li>status indicators, e.g. if sync was successful</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The actual functionality depends on the <em>repository type</em>, i.e. the
implementing class. The most basic implementation that provides all common
data, status indicator functions and <em>PackageInfo</em> creation is called
<em>BasicRepo</em>. It also implements a rather abstract sync function that calls
subclass-specifc <em>_sync()</em>/<em>_nosync()</em> functions if available.
<em>BasicRepos</em> are used to realize <em>local repositories</em>. The other available
repository types, <em>rsync</em>, <em>websync_repo</em> and <em>websync_pkglist</em> derive from
<em>BasicRepo</em>.</p>
<div class="section" id="adding-new-repository-types">
<h4><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">14.2.1.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Adding new repository types</a></h4>
<p>Adding new repository types is best done by creating a new repo class
that inherits <em>BasicRepo</em>. The table below shows <em>BasicRepo</em>'s subclass
awareness concerning <em>sync()</em> and what may be changed if required.
Most repository types want to define their own sync functionality and
can do so by implementing <em>_dosync()</em>:</p>

<p>The <em>RsyncRepo</em>, for example, extends <em>BasicRepo</em> by rsync-specific data, e.g.
the uri used for rsync, and has its own <em>__init__()</em> method. It also
implements <em>_dosync()</em>, which calls the <em>rsync</em> executable in a filtered
environment that contains only variables like USER, PATH and RSYNC_PROXY.
The other available repository types have an internal-only implementation:</p>

The current implementation writes the R package's full description
('Title' and 'Description') into the metadata file.
Metadata creation uses the latest package, i.e. highest version,

<div class="section" id="manifest-creation">

<p><em>next</em> is an internal implementation that uses the

It falls back to <em>ebuild</em> when creating Manifest entries for imported ebuilds,
since roverlay does not support reading <em>SRC_URI</em> from ebuilds reliably (that

</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="ebuild-creation">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">14.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ebuild Creation</a></h2>
<p>Ebuild creation is the process centered around one <em>PackageInfo</em> instance <em>p</em>
that tries to create an ebuild for it.</p>
<p>An <em>EbuildCreationJob</em> does the following steps:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li>Read the DESCRIPTION file of <em>p</em> R package tarball and stores the
data in an associative array ('DESCRIPTION field' -&gt; 'data')</li>
<li>Call <a class="reference internal" href="#dependency-resolution">dependency resolution</a></li>
<li>If dependency resolution was successful and any <a class="reference internal" href="#selfdeps">selfdeps</a> found
(dependencies on other packages): <em>pause</em> ebuild creation for <em>p</em> until
it has been verified whether these dependencies are satisfiable.
This is necessary because dependency resolution does not know whether a
resolved dependency is actually valid. To realize this, <em>roverlay</em> collects
paused ebuild creation jobs after processing all packages, performs
<em>selfdep validation</em> and then continues ebuild creation.</li>
<li>If dependency resolution was successful, dependency ebuild variables are
created (<em>DEPEND</em>, <em>RDEPEND</em> and <em>R_SUGGESTS</em>, also <em>IUSE</em>, <em>MISSINGDEPS</em>).
Otherwise <strong>ebuild creation stops</strong> and <em>p</em> is marked as
<em>ebuild uncreatable</em>. The overlay creation may decide to remove <em>p</em> in
order to save memory etc.</li>
<li>The <em>DESCRIPTION</em> and <em>SRC_URI</em> variables are created</li>
<li>Add any ebuild variables created by package rules, e.g. <em>KEYWORDS</em></li>
<li><strong>done</strong> - Generate the ebuild as text, add it to <em>p</em> and mark <em>p</em>
as <em>ebuild successfully created</em></li>
</ol>
<div class="section" id="ebuild-variables">
<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">14.4.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ebuild Variables</a></h3>
<p>Each ebuild variable is an object whose class is derived from the <em>EbuildVar</em>
class. An <em>EbuildVar</em> defines its position in the ebuild and  how its text
output should look like. Ebuild text is created by adding ebuild variables
to an <em>Ebuilder</em> that automatically sorts them and creates the ebuild.</p>
<p>Most ebuild variables, e.g. all variables that contain text from a package's
DESCRIPTION data, have basic protection against code injection:</p>
<ul class="simple">

<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">14.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Overlay Creation</a></h2>
<p>Overlay creation is the process of creating an overlay for many R packages
and <em>roverlay</em>'s main task. More specifically, <em>OverlayCreation</em> is an
<em>R packages -&gt; Overlay (-&gt; overlay in filesystem)</em> interface.
It accepts <em>PackageInfo</em> objects as input, applies package rules to them,
which possibly filters some packages out, tries to reserve a slot in the
overlay for them, and, if successful, adds them to the work queue.</p>
<p>The work queue is processed by <em>OverlayWorkers</em> that run ebuild creation
for a <em>PackageInfo</em> object and inform the <em>OverlayCreation</em> about the result
afterwards. Overlay creation keeps going if an ebuild cannot be created,
instead the event is logged. Running more than one <em>OverlayWorker</em> in parallel
is possible.</p>
<p>The following pseudo-code illustrates how overlay creation basically works:</p>
<pre class="code text literal-block">
ACCEPT_PACKAGES:

for each received PackageInfo &lt;p&gt;

   create an EbuildCreationJob for p and add it to the work queue

end for



CREATE_OVERLAY:

while work_queue is not empty

   work_queue_next &lt;= empty


   in parallel with N OverlayWorkers (&gt;=0 threads):

      for each EbuildCreationJob ebuild_job from the work_queue

         run/resume ebuild_job (as described in Ebuild Creation)

         if ebuild_job is paused

            add ebuild_job to work_queue_next

         end if

      end for

   end in parallel


   if work_queue_next is not empty

      &lt;run selfdep validation&gt;

      work_queue &lt;= work_queue_next

   end if

end while
</pre>
<div class="section" id="selfdep-validation">
<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">14.5.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Selfdep Validation</a></h3>
<p>EbuildCreationJobs are processed in no specific order and possibly
concurrently. This leads to the problem that dependency resolution cannot
know whether a successfully resolved <a class="reference internal" href="#selfdep">selfdep</a> is actually satisfiable.</p>
<p>For example, if a package <em>A</em> depends on another package <em>B</em> and <em>B</em> is
uncreatable (ebuild creation <em>will</em> fail for <em>B</em>), then dependency resolution
still resolves <em>B</em> (e.g. as sci-R/B). <em>A</em> has a <strong>dangling selfdep</strong> now.</p>
<p><em>Selfdep validation</em> is the process of <strong>identifying</strong> <em>dangling selfdeps</em> and
<strong>removing</strong> packages with such dependencies or simply <strong>dropping</strong>
the dependencies, depending on their <a class="reference internal" href="#dependency-type">dependency type</a>.</p>
<p>It is an algorithm with 3 phases:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li><strong>prepare</strong>: create a graph containing all selfdeps<ul>
<li><strong>collect</strong>: find ebuild creation jobs with selfdeps (<em>direct</em> selfdeps)</li>
<li><strong>link</strong>: expand the selfdep graph, find selfdep-selfdep dependencies
(<em>indirect</em> selfdeps)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>reduce</strong>: find <em>dangling selfdeps</em> and mark them as invalid<ul>
<li>a selfdep is <em>dangling</em> iff the overlay contains no suitable
<em>PackageInfo</em> with valid selfdeps</li>
<li><strong>repeat this step</strong> until no more <em>dangling selfdeps</em> found</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>balance</strong>: find ebuild creation jobs with invalid selfdeps (<em>inversed collect</em>)<ul>
<li>drop optional dependencies</li>
<li>let ebuild creation fail if a mandatory selfdep is not valid</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>

<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">14.6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Dependency Resolution</a></h2>
<p>Each ebuild creation process has access to the <em>dependency resolver</em> that
accepts <em>dependency strings</em>, tries to resolve them and returns the result,
either &quot;unresolvable&quot; or the resolving <em>dependency</em> as
<em>Dynamic DEPEND</em>/<em>DEPEND Atom</em>.</p>
<p>The ebuild creation uses <em>channels</em> for communication with the <em>dependency
resolver</em>, so-called <em>EbuildJobChannels</em> that handle the 'high-level'
string-to-string dependency resolution for a set of <em>dependency strings</em>.
Typically, one <em>channel</em> is used per ebuild variable (DEPEND, RDEPEND and
R_SUGGESTS).</p>
<p>From the ebuild creation perspective, dependency resolution works like this:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li>Collect the <em>dependency strings</em> from the DESCRIPTION data and add them
to the communication <em>channels</em> (up to 3 will be used)</li>
<li>Wait until all channels are <em>done</em></li>
<li><strong>Stop ebuild creation</strong> if a channel reports that it could not resolve
all <em>required dependencies</em>. No ebuild can be created in that case.</li>
<li><strong>Successfully done</strong> - transfer the channel results to ebuild variables</li>
</ol>
<p>Details about dependency resolution like how <em>channels</em> work can be found
in the following subsections.</p>
<div class="section" id="dependency-types">
<span id="dependency-type"></span><h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">14.6.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Dependency types</a></h3>
<p>Every <em>dependency string</em> has a <em>dependency type</em> that declares how a
dependency should be resolved. It has one or more of these properties:</p>
<dl class="docutils">
<dt>Mandatory</dt>
<dd>Ebuild creation fails if the <em>dependency string</em> in question cannot
be resolved.</dd>
<dt>Optional</dt>
<dd>The opposite of <em>Mandatory</em>, ebuild creation keeps going even if the
<em>dependency string</em> is unresolvable.</dd>
<dt>Package Dependency</dt>
<dd>This declares that the <em>dependency string</em> could be another R package.</dd>
<dt>System Dependency</dt>
<dd>This declares that the <em>dependency string</em> could be a system dependency,
e.g. a scientific library or a video encoder.</dd>
<dt>Selfdep</dt>
<dd>This declares that the resolved dependency has to pass
<em>selfdep validation</em>. While <em>selfdep</em> usually implies <em>package</em>, these
types are not the same. The <em>package</em> type is applied to <em>dependency strings</em>
based on their origin (DESCRIPTION field), whereas <em>selfdep</em> is a property
of the resolving rule.</dd>
<dt>Try other dependency types</dt>
<dd>This declares that the <em>dependency string</em> can be resolved by ignoring its
dependency type partially. This property allows to resolve package
dependencies as system dependencies and vice versa. Throughout this
document, such property is indicated by <em>TRY_OTHER</em> and
<em>&lt;preferred dependency type&gt; first</em>, e.g. <em>package first</em>.</dd>
</dl>
<p><em>Mandatory</em> and <em>Optional</em> are mutually exclusive.</p>
<p>The <em>dependency type</em> of a <em>dependency string</em> is determined by its origin,
i.e. info field in the package's DESCRIPTION file.
The <em>Suggests</em> field, for example, gets the
<em>&quot;package dependency only and optional&quot;</em> type, whereas the <em>SystemRequirements</em>
gets <em>&quot;system dependency, but try others, and mandatory&quot;</em>.</p>
<div class="section" id="description-file-dependency-fields">
<h4><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">14.6.1.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;DESCRIPTION file dependency fields</a></h4>
<p>The DESCRIPTION file of an R package contains several fields that list
dependencies on R packages or other software like scientific libraries.

<p>A non-empty <em>R_SUGGESTS</em> ebuild variable will enable the <em>R_suggests</em> USE
flag. <em>R_SUGGESTS</em> is a runtime dependency (a <em>Dynamic DEPEND</em> in <em>RDEPEND</em>).</p>
<p>Ebuild creation keeps going if an optional dependency cannot be resolved.
This is not desirable for most <em>dependency fields</em>, but extremely
useful for R package suggestions that often link to other repositories or
private homepages.
Such unresolvable dependencies go into the <em>_UNRESOLVED_PACKAGES</em> ebuild
variable.
Whether and how this variable is used is up to the eclass file(s).
The default <em>R-packages eclass</em> reports unresolvable,
but optional dependencies during the <em>pkg_postinst()</em> ebuild phase.</p>

<div class="section" id="dependency-environments">
<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">14.6.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Dependency Environments</a></h3>
<p>A <em>dependency environment</em> is an object that reflects the whole dependency
resolution process of a single <em>dependency string</em>. It usually contains
the <em>dependency string</em>, its <em>dependency type</em>, information about its
resolution state (<em>resolved</em>, <em>unresolvable</em>, <em>to be processed</em>) and the
resolving resolving <em>dependency</em>, if any.</p>
<p>It is initialized by the communication <em>channel</em> and processed by the
<em>dependency resolver</em>.</p>

<div class="section" id="ebuildjob-channel">
<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">14.6.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;EbuildJob Channel</a></h3>
<p>The <em>EbuildJob Channel</em> is used by the ebuild creation to communicate with
the <em>dependency resolver</em>. It is initialized by an ebuild creation process and
realizes a greedy <em>string to string</em> dependency resolution.</p>
<p>Its mode of operation is</p>
<ol class="arabic">
<li><p class="first">Accept <em>dependency strings</em>, create <em>dependency environments</em> for them
and add them to the registered <em>dependency resolver</em>.

strings</em> have been added.</p>

<li><p class="first">Tell the <em>dependency resolver</em> that this channel is waiting for results.</p>
<p>The channel using a <em>blocking queue</em> for waiting. It expects that the
<em>dependency resolver</em> sends processed <em>dependency environments</em> though this

been resolved or waiting does not make sense anymore, i.e. at least one

<ul class="simple">
<li>a 2-tuple of resolved and unresolvable dependencies or</li>

<div class="section" id="dependency-rule-pools">
<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">14.6.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Dependency Rule Pools</a></h3>
<p>The <em>dependency resolver</em> does not know <em>how</em> to resolve a <em>dependency string</em>.
Instead, it searches through a list of <em>dependency rule pools</em> that may be
able to do this.</p>
<p>A <em>dependency rule pool</em> combines a list of <em>dependency rules</em> with a
<em>dependency type</em> and is able to determine whether it accepts the type
of a <em>dependency string</em> or not.</p>
<p><em>Dependency rules</em> are objects with a &quot;matches&quot; function that returns the
<em>resolving dependency</em> if it matches the given <em>dependency string</em>, else
it returns &quot;cannot resolve&quot;. Note the difference between
&quot;a rule cannot resolve a dep string&quot; and &quot;dep string is unresolvable&quot;,
which means that no rule can resolve a particular <em>dependency string</em>.</p>
<p>See <a class="reference internal" href="#dependency-rules">Dependency Rules</a> for the concrete rules available.</p>
<p>Rule pools are normally created by reading rule files, but some rule pools
consist of rules that exist in memory only.
These are called <strong>Dynamic Rule Pools</strong> and use runtime data like &quot;all known
R packages&quot; to create rules.</p>
<p id="dynamic-selfdep-rule-pool"><em>roverlay</em> uses one dynamic rule pool, the <strong>Dynamic Selfdep Rule Pool</strong>.
This pool contains <em>selfdep</em> rules for all known R packages and is able
to resolve R package dependencies.
By convention, it will never resolve any system dependencies.</p>

<div class="section" id="dependency-resolver-modules">
<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">14.6.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Dependency Resolver Modules</a></h3>
<p>The dependency resolver can be extended by modules. Two base types are
available, <em>channels</em> and <em>listeners</em>.</p>
<dl class="docutils">
<dt>Listener modules</dt>
<dd><p class="first">Listener modules are used to react on certain dependency resolution
<em>events</em>, e.g. if a <em>dependency environment</em> is unresolvable.
They usually have access to the <em>event</em> and the <em>dependency environment</em>.

<p class="last">In the current <em>roverlay</em> implementation, a listener module is used to
report all unresolvable dependencies to a separate file.</p>
</dd>
<dt>Channel modules</dt>
<dd><p class="first">Channel modules interact with the resolver, e.g. queue dependencies for

</div>
<div class="section" id="dependency-resolver">
<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">14.6.6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Dependency Resolver</a></h3>
<p>The dependency resolver puts all parts of dependency resolution together,
<em>rule pools</em>, <em>listeners</em> and <em>channels</em>. Its main task is a loop that
processes all queued <em>dependency environments</em> and sends the result back to
their origin (an <em>EbuildJob channel</em>).</p>
<p>Besides that, it also offers functionality to register new channels, add
listeners, load rule pools from one or more files etc..
A dependency resolver has to be explicitly closed in which case it will stop
working and notify all listeners about that.</p>
<p>Its mode of operation of operation is best described in pseudo-code:</p>
<pre class="code text literal-block">
while &lt;dependencies queued for resolution&gt;

   depenv   &lt;= get the next dependency environment
   resolved &lt;= False

   # try to resolve depenv

   if &lt;depenv's type contains PACKAGE&gt; and
   &lt;the dynamic selfdep rule pool resolves depenv&gt;

      resolved &lt;= True

   else
      if &lt;a rule pool accepts depenv's type and resolves depenv&gt;

         resolved &lt;= True

      else if &lt;depenv's type contains TRY_OTHER&gt;
         if &lt;a rule pool supports TRY_OTHER and does not accept depenv's type and resolves depenv&gt;

            resolved &lt;= True

         end if
      end if
   end if


   # send the result to depenv's channel

   if resolved
      mark depenv as resolved, add the resolving dependency to it

   else
      mark depenv as unresolvable

   end if

   send depenv to its channel

end while
</pre>
<p>The dependency resolver can be <strong>run as thread</strong>, in which case the while loop
becomes &quot;loop until resolver closes&quot;.</p>
