umoci Fork for Singularity

This is a fork of openSUSE/umoci that is required for sylabs/singularity.

The tag v0.4.2+singularity1 is the upstream v0.4.2 version of umoci, with patches required for Singularity applied.

Singularity requires this fork, as although the patches have been merged into umoci upstream, newer versions of umoci bring in dependencies that conflict with other libraries that Singularity is using. See https://github.com/sylabs/singularity/pull/4209. The main issue is around rdma/cgroups and newer image-spec.

Included Patches

(1) tar_extract: only warn for forbidden xattrs

https://github.com/openSUSE/umoci/commit/72ae591149af4a819e680a8f157a59cda2be6a26

This fixes the Singularity issue: https://github.com/sylabs/singularity/issues/4578

In umoci 0.4.2 rootless mode currently warns if a forbidden xattr is seen, while extractions as root error out. Make root extractions warn, so that docker images such as cern/sl6-base:latest can be extracted as root without failing due to this error.

(2) tar_extract: don't error on fs without xattr support

https://github.com/openSUSE/umoci/commit/3335a0dd0c582f2c6ea9fa12a658129a9c7572ac

This fixes the Singularity issue: https://github.com/sylabs/singularity/issues/4593

If we are extracting to a filesystem that does not support xattrs, make sure that an ENTOSUP from clearxattr or listxattr results in a warning, not an error.

umoci modifies Open Container images. See the official website for more accessible documentation about how to use umoci.

umoci intends to be a complete manipulation tool for OCI images. In particular, it should be seen as a more end-user-focused version of the oci-image-tools provided by the OCI. The hope is that all of this tooling will eventually be merged with the upstream repository, so that it is always kept up-to-date by the Open Container Initiative community.

However, currently there is a lot of discussion about the new tooling going into the OCI image tools, and right now I need tooling that can abstract all of the internals of the OCI specification into a single CLI interface. The main purpose of this tool is to serve as example of what I would like to see in an oci-image tool.

If you wish to provide feedback or contribute, read the CONTRIBUTING.md for this project to refresh your knowledge about how to submit good bug reports and patches. Information about how to submit responsible security disclosures is also provided.

Releases

We regularly publish new releases, with each release being given a unique identifying version number (as governed by Semantic Versioning (SemVer)).
