RPM 包初窥

作者: Linux技术 | 来源:发表于2019-10-13 22:54 被阅读0次

也许,Fedora 社区追求其促进自由和开源的软件及内容的使命的最著名的方式就是开发 Fedora 软件发行版了。因此,我们将很大一部分的社区资源用于此任务也就不足为奇了。这篇文章总结了这些软件是如何“打包”的,以及使之成为可能的基础工具,如 rpm 之类。

RPM:最小的软件单元

可供用户选择的“版本”和“风味版”(spins / labs / silverblue)其实非常相似。它们都是由各种软件组成的,这些软件经过混合和搭配,可以很好地协同工作。它们之间的不同之处在于放入其中的具体工具不同。这种选择取决于它们所针对的用例。所有这些的“版本”和“风味版”基本组成单位都是 RPM 软件包文件。

RPM 文件是类似于 ZIP 文件或 tarball 的存档文件。实际上,它们使用了压缩来减小存档文件的大小。但是,除了文件之外,RPM 存档中还包含有关软件包的元数据。可以使用 rpm 工具查询:

$ rpm -q fpaste

fpaste-0.3.9.2-2.fc30.noarch

$ rpm -qi fpaste

Name        : fpaste

Version     : 0.3.9.2

Summary     : A simple tool for pasting info onto sticky notes instances

Description :

It is often useful to be able to easily paste text to the Fedora

Pastebin at http://paste.fedoraproject.org and this simple script

will do that and return the resulting URL so that people may

examine the output. This can hopefully help folks who are for

some reason stuck without X, working remotely, or any other

reason they may be unable to paste something into the pastebin

$ rpm -ql fpaste

/usr/bin/fpaste

/usr/share/doc/fpaste

/usr/share/doc/fpaste/README.rst

/usr/share/doc/fpaste/TODO

/usr/share/licenses/fpaste

/usr/share/licenses/fpaste/COPYING

/usr/share/man/man1/fpaste.1.gz

安装 RPM 软件包后,rpm 工具可以知道具体哪些文件被添加到了系统中。因此,删除该软件包也会删除这些文件,并使系统保持一致状态。这就是为什么要尽可能地使用 rpm 安装软件,而不是从源代码安装软件的原因。

依赖关系

如今,完全独立的软件已经非常罕见。甚至 fpaste,连这样一个简单的单个文件的 Python 脚本,都需要安装 Python 解释器。因此,如果系统未安装 Python(几乎不可能,但有可能),则无法使用 fpaste。用打包者的术语来说,“Python 是 fpaste 的运行时依赖项。”

构建 RPM 软件包时(本文不讨论构建 RPM 的过程),生成的归档文件中包括了所有这些元数据。这样,与 RPM 软件包归档文件交互的工具就知道必须要安装其它的什么东西,以便 fpaste 可以正常工作:

$ rpm -q --requires fpaste

/usr/bin/python3

python3

rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1

rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1

rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1

rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) <= 5.2-1

$ rpm -q --provides fpaste

fpaste = 0.3.9.2-2.fc30

$ rpm -qi python3

Name        : python3

Summary     : Interpreter of the Python programming language

Description :

Python is an accessible, high-level, dynamically typed, interpreted programming

language, designed with an emphasis on code readability.

It includes an extensive standard library, and has a vast ecosystem of

third-party libraries.

The python3 package provides the "python3" executable: the reference

interpreter for the Python language, version 3.

The majority of its standard library is provided in the python3-libs package,

which should be installed automatically along with python3.

The remaining parts of the Python standard library are broken out into the

python3-tkinter and python3-test packages, which may need to be installed

separately.

Documentation for Python is provided in the python3-docs package.

Packages containing additional libraries for Python are generally named with

the "python3-" prefix.

$ rpm -q --provides python3

python(abi) = 3.7

python3 = 3.7.3-3.fc30

python3(x86-64) = 3.7.3-3.fc30

python3.7 = 3.7.3-3.fc30

python37 = 3.7.3-3.fc30

解决 RPM 依赖关系

虽然 rpm 知道每个归档文件所需的依赖关系,但不知道在哪里找到它们。这是设计使然:rpm 仅适用于本地文件,必须具体告知它们的位置。因此,如果你尝试安装单个 RPM 软件包,则 rpm 找不到该软件包的运行时依赖项时就会出错。本示例尝试安装从 Fedora 软件包集中下载的软件包:

$ ls

python3-elephant-0.6.2-3.fc30.noarch.rpm

$ rpm -qpi python3-elephant-0.6.2-3.fc30.noarch.rpm

Summary     : Elephant is a package for analysis of electrophysiology data in Python

Description :

Elephant - Electrophysiology Analysis Toolkit Elephant is a package for the

analysis of neurophysiology data, based on Neo.

$ rpm -qp --requires python3-elephant-0.6.2-3.fc30.noarch.rpm

$ sudo rpm -i ./python3-elephant-0.6.2-3.fc30.noarch.rpm

error: Failed dependencies:

python3.7dist(quantities) >= 0.10.1 is needed by python3-elephant-0.6.2-3.fc30.noarch

理论上,你可以下载 python3-elephant 所需的所有软件包,并告诉 rpm 它们都在哪里,但这并不方便。如果 python3-neo 和 python3-quantities 还有其它的运行时要求怎么办?很快,这种“依赖链”就会变得相当复杂。

存储库

幸运的是,有了 dnf 和它的朋友们,可以帮助解决此问题。与 rpm 不同,dnf 能感知到存储库。存储库是程序包的集合,带有告诉 dnf 这些存储库包含什么内容的元数据。所有 Fedora 系统都带有默认启用的默认 Fedora 存储库:

$ sudo dnf repolist

repo id              repo name                             status

fedora               Fedora 30 - x86_64                    56,582

fedora-modular       Fedora Modular 30 - x86_64               135

updates              Fedora 30 - x86_64 - Updates           8,573

updates-modular      Fedora Modular 30 - x86_64 - Updates     138

updates-testing      Fedora 30 - x86_64 - Test Updates      8,458

在 Fedora 快速文档中有这些存储库以及如何管理它们的更多信息。

dnf 可用于查询存储库以获取有关它们包含的软件包信息。它还可以在这些存储库中搜索软件,或从中安装/卸载/升级软件包:

$ sudo dnf search elephant

Complete!

请注意,dnf 甚至还安装了python3-igor,而它不是 python3-elephant 的直接依赖项。

DnfDragora:DNF 的一个图形界面

尽管技术用户可能会发现 dnf 易于使用,但并非所有人都这样认为。Dnfdragora 通过为 dnf 提供图形化前端来解决此问题。

dnfdragora (version 1.1.1-2 on Fedora 30) listing all the packages installed on a system.

从上面可以看到,dnfdragora 似乎提供了 dnf 的所有主要功能。

Fedora 中还有其他工具也可以管理软件包,GNOME 的“ 软件(Software)”和“ 发现(Discover)”就是其中两个。GNOME “软件”仅专注于图形应用程序。你无法使用这个图形化前端来安装命令行或终端工具,例如 htop 或 weechat。但是,GNOME “软件”支持安装 dnf 所不支持的 Flatpak 和 Snap 应用程序。它们是针对不同目标受众的不同工具,因此提供了不同的功能。

这篇文章仅触及到了 Fedora 软件的生命周期的冰山一角。本文介绍了什么是 RPM 软件包,以及使用 rpm 和 dnf 的主要区别。

在以后的文章中,我们将详细介绍:
