adding a new event to fp-listen

FreshPorts has three main daemons:

  1. ingress – waits for incoming commits and creates XML.
  2. freshports – processes the XML into the database.
  3. fp-listen – listens for events and clears cache

The first two run on the backend (the ingress node, or jail), the last run runs on the webserver (nginx jail).

The list of events

The first thing fp-listen does is read the list of events from the database:

freshports.devgit=# select * from listen_for;
 id |       name        |       script_name        
----+-------------------+--------------------------
  5 | port_updated      | listen_port
  6 | ports_moved       | listen_ports_moved
  7 | ports_updating    | listen_ports_updating
  8 | vuxml             | listen_vuxml
 10 | category_new      | listen_category_new
 11 | date_updated      | listen_date_updated
 12 | packages_imported | listen_packages_imported
 13 | listen_for        | ClearPackagesCache
(8 rows)

Let’s add our new event and the name of the script we-have-yet-to-write:

freshports.devgit=# insert into listen_for (name, script_name) values ('commit_updated', 'listen_commit');
INSERT 0 1

However, note that I won’t actually be created a script by that name.

The Python code

Here is the Python code:

When doing the initial testing, I saw this error:

Ahh, that’s because we have this:

[dan@devgit-nginx01:/usr/local/etc/freshports] $ ls -l /var/db/freshports/cache

Ahh, freshports can’t write to the commits directory, so it cannot delete files. The fp-listen daemon is running as the freshports user:

$ ps auwwx | grep fp-listen
freshports 44828  0.0  0.0  29756 19472  -  SJ   00:06   0:00.19 /usr/local/bin/python /usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/fp-listen/fp-listen.py (python3.8)
dan        77297  0.0  0.0  11456  2776  6  S+J  00:22   0:00.00 grep fp-listen

I can’t just chmod +w here. There is a zfs snapshot involved. Here is what I did instead:

$ sudo zfs rollback nvd/freshports/devgit-nginx01/var/db/freshports/cache/commits@empty
$ sudo zfs destroy nvd/freshports/devgit-nginx01/var/db/freshports/cache/commits@empty
$ sudo chmod g+w commits
$ sudo zfs snapshot nvd/freshports/devgit-nginx01/var/db/freshports/cache/commits@empty

The destroy had to be done on the host itself. This is a situation I’ve seen before where a snapshot cannot be deleted from within the jail, but it can be created.
