<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">1 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>

<div class="section" id="required-configuration-steps">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">3.1 Required configuration steps</a></h2>
<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.local</em> or <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>Overall, the following steps have to be taken before running <em>roverlay</em>:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>create/adjust the main config file</li>
<li>provide additional files (dependency rule files, hook event script etc.)
at the locations pointed out in the main config file</li>
<li>optional: create directories in advance with proper permissions, e.g.
a shared package files directory</li>
</ul>
<p>These steps can be automated by using <em>roverlay-setup</em>.
See <cite>Automated configuration and setup</cite> for details.
<cite>Manual configuration</cite> covers how to configure <em>roverlay</em> by hand.</p>

<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">4.1 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>

<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">

<p>This is your best bet if the remote is a repository but does not offer rsync
access. Basic digest verification is supported (MD5). The remote has to have
a package list file, typically named <em>PACKAGES</em>,
with a special syntax (debian control file syntax). Syncing is retried up to
3 times, for example if a connection timeout occurs or a remote file
disappears after reading the package list file.</p>

Its only requirement is that a package is downloadable via http.
Apart from an entry in the repo config file, it also needs a file that lists
one package uri per line:</p>

<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">5.6 Distmap</a></h2>
<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. A revision-bump is triggered if the
package files (new/old) originate from the same repository,
but their checksums differ. Otherwise, the new package is discarded.</p>
<p>The <em>distmap file</em> can optionally be compressed (bzip2 or gzip), which
reduces its size considerably.</p>
<p>The first line of the <em>distmap file</em> specifies its field separator and version:</p>
<pre class="code text literal-block">

<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">6 Additions Directory</a></h1>
<p>The <em>additions directory</em> is a directory with overlay-like structure that

ebuild files are supported.</p>
<div class="section" id="patching-ebuilds">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">6.1 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>
<div class="caution">

<dd><p class="first">This is a classification for dependencies on packages which are also part

<p>roverlay validates <em>selfdeps</em> during overlay creation, which is the most
significant difference to non-<em>selfdeps</em>.</p>
<p>Selfdep rules can be written by prefixing a single rule with <tt class="docutils literal">@selfdep</tt>

<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">8 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="-x86 amd64"</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 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:
<match statement 1>
<match statement 2>
...
<match statement m>
ACTION:
<action statement 1>
<action statement 2>
...
<action statement n>
ELSE:
<alternative action statement 1>
<alternative action statement 2>
...
<alternative action statement k>
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 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>Except for <em>always true/false</em>,
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>
<p>The <em>match statement</em> syntax is</p>
<pre class="code literal-block">
<match keyword> [<operator>] <accepted value>
</pre>
<p>These <em>match keywords</em> are recognized:</p>

<div class="section" id="extended-match-block-syntax">
<h4><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">8.1.1.1 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:
<match statement 1, match depth 0>
...
<boolean function>
* <match statement 1, match depth 1>
* <match statement 2, match depth 1>
* ...
* <match statement m, match depth 1>
...
<match statement n, match depth 0>
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>

<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">
<'*'^<match_depth>> <(basic) match statement>
</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 not 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:
<match statement 1, depth 0>
<boolean function 2, depth 0>
* <match statement 1, depth 1>

<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">9.2 Event Policy</a></h2>
<p>The <em>event policy</em> controls whether a certain event actually triggers a script
call or not.
It is constructed by parsing the <a class="reference internal" href="#event-hook-restrict">EVENT_HOOK_RESTRICT</a> config option:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>a word prefixed by <tt class="docutils literal">-</tt> means <em>deny specific event</em> (-> blacklist)</li>
<li>the asterisk char <tt class="docutils literal">*</tt> (or <tt class="docutils literal">+*</tt>) sets the policy to
<em>allow unless denied</em> (blacklist) or <em>allow all</em></li>
<li>a word prefixed by <tt class="docutils literal">+</tt> or without a prefix char means
<em>allow specific event</em> (-> whitelist)</li>
<li>the asterisk char with <tt class="docutils literal">-</tt> as prefix (<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-*</span></tt>) sets the policy to
<em>deny unless allowed</em> (whitelist) or <em>deny all</em></li>
</ul>
<p>The policy defaults to <em>allow all</em> if <tt class="docutils literal">EVENT_HOOK_RESTRICT</tt> is not set in
the config file. An empty string sets the policy to <em>deny all</em>.</p>

<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">14 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 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 "root" 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 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 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> + '/' + <path of R package relative to <em>distdir</em>></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 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>

<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">14.3 Overlay</a></h2>
<p>The <em>overlay</em> is roverlay's central data structure that represents a <em>portage

<li><p class="first">Scan the <em>portage overlay</em> for existing ebuilds</p>

</ul>
<div class="section" id="metadata-creation">
<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">14.3.1 Metadata Creation</a></h3>
<p><em>metadata.xml</em> files are created with a tree structure that contains <em>metadata
nodes</em>, e.g. '<pkgmetadata>...</pkgmetadata>' and '<use>...</use>' are <em>nodes</em>.
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,
for which an ebuild has been created.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="manifest-creation">
<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">14.3.2 Manifest Creation</a></h3>
<p>Two implementations for writing manifest files are available, <em>ebuild</em> and
<em>next</em>.</p>
<p>The <em>ebuild</em> implementation calls the <tt class="docutils literal">ebuild</tt> executable for each package
directory in a filtered environment where where FETCHCOMMAND and
RESUMECOMMAND are set to no-operation (/bin/true on systems that support it).</p>
<p><em>next</em> is an internal implementation that uses the
<tt class="docutils literal">roverlay.overlay.pkgdir.manifest</tt> module for creating Manifest files.
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
would require variable interpolation, e.g. for <tt class="docutils literal">${PN}</tt>).</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="ebuild-creation">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">14.4 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' -> '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

<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">14.4.1 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">
<li>only ASCII characters are allowed</li>
<li>the following chars are always removed: <tt class="docutils literal">"</tt>, <tt class="docutils literal">'</tt>, <tt class="docutils literal">`</tt> and <tt class="docutils literal">;</tt></li>
<li>backslash chars <tt class="docutils literal">\</tt> at the end of the variable's value are removed</li>

<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">14.5 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 -> Overlay (-> 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 <p>
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 <= empty
in parallel with N OverlayWorkers (>=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
<run selfdep validation>
work_queue <= work_queue_next
end if
end while
</pre>
<div class="section" id="selfdep-validation">
<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">14.5.1 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>
<p>The actual implementation in <em>roverlay</em> is spread across several modules:</p>

<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">14.6 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 "unresolvable" 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 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><preferred dependency type> 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>"package dependency only and optional"</em> type, whereas the <em>SystemRequirements</em>
gets <em>"system dependency, but try others, and mandatory"</em>.</p>
<div class="section" id="description-file-dependency-fields">
<h4><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">14.6.1.1 DESCRIPTION file dependency fields</a></h4>

<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>

<p>A <em>dependency environment</em> is an object that reflects the whole dependency

<div class="section" id="dependency-rule-pools">
<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">14.6.4 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 "matches" function that returns the
<em>resolving dependency</em> if it matches the given <em>dependency string</em>, else
it returns "cannot resolve". Note the difference between
"a rule cannot resolve a dep string" and "dep string is unresolvable",
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 "all known
R packages" 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. Moreover, it knows to which repository
a rule belongs, and tries to satisfy dependencies on a package within its
own repository first, before trying the other repositories in the order as
they appear in the repo config file(s).</p>
<p>By convention, this rule pool never resolves any system dependencies.</p>

<p>The dependency resolver puts all parts of dependency resolution together,

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 <dependencies queued for resolution>

else
if <a rule pool accepts depenv's type and resolves depenv>
resolved <= True
else if <depenv's type contains TRY_OTHER>
if <a rule pool supports TRY_OTHER and does not accept depenv's type and resolves depenv>
resolved <= True
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
