ego crashes when meta-repo is read only

[romikb]

I mount meta-repo as read only to lxd container.

If I run "ego sync" it crushes:

 # ego sync
ERROR: Ego encountered an unexpected error: OSError

If I set another path for meta-repo: "meta_repo_path = /var/git/meta-repo-local" than ego sync work without issues.

local meta-repo and read-only meta-repo are identical.

 

Any chance for ego sync work on read only meta-repo?

I have many lxd containers and want to save disk space. I want to share meta-repo and distfiles beetween all of them. Ego sync inside container should only update configs. "Funtoo Containers" have this feature but my funtoo instalation have not. For example in Funtoo Container:

 # ego sync
WARNING: Meta-repo is read-only -- running in config-only mode.
Updating /etc/portage/repos.conf...
Updating profiles at /etc/portage/make.profile/parent...

"ego sync" in Funtoo Container work exact as I need. It update configs while meta-repo is  read only.

My Funtoo installation have no "emerge --update" command.

The question is, which config files are we talking about? Are those config files then different for each container or could you provide them for the containers from a "master config" as well?

If you can't do that, you are pratically looking for another switch for ego-sync, something like "--config-only", or?

Just to understand the way you are using the meta-repo. You use ego-sync to update the config files in your containers but what do you use the updated information for?

Config files for emerge. It does not see any new packages in shared meta-repo without updating config.

Yes, "ego-sync --config-only" update config, but it checks for read-only and also crash.

Containers are in "security.privileged true", because of samba addc (it require real root), so meta-repo owner in container is portage user.

readonly: "true"

remove this and it will work as a workaround.
