Except scylla-python3, each scylla package has its own git repository, same package script filename, same build directory structure.
To put python3 thing on scylla repo, we created 'python3' directory on multiple locations, made '-python3' suffixed files, dig deeper build directory not to conflict scylla-server package build.
We should move all scylla-python3 related files to new repository, scylla-python3.
To keep compatibility with current Jenkins script, provide packages on
build/ directory for now.
Fixes#6751
Since older binutils on some distribution does not able to handle
compressed debuginfo generated on Fedora, we need to disable it.
However, debian packager force debuginfo compression since debian/compat = 9,
we have to uncompress them after compressed automatically.
Fixes#6982
On .deb package with new relocatable package format, all files moved to
under scylla/ directory.
So we need to call ./scylla/install.sh on debian/rules, but it does not work
correctly, since install.sh does not support calling from other directory.
To support this, we need to changedir to scylla top directory before
copying files.
There are a bunch of renames that are done if PRODUCT is not the
default, but the Python code for them is incorrect. Path.glob()
is not a static method, and Path does not support .endswith().
Fix by constructing a Path object, and later casting to str.
Instead of running shutil.copy() for each *.{service,default},
create symlink for these files.
Python will copy original file when copying debian directory.

Sync version number fixup from main package, contains #6546 and #6752 fixes.
Note that scylla-python3 likely does not affect this versioning issue,
since it uses python3 version, which normally does not contain 'rcX'.
Debian package builds provide a root environment for the installation
scripts, since that's what typical installation scripts expect. To
avoid providing actual root, a "fakeroot" system is used where syscalls
are intercepted and any effect that requires root (like chown) is emulated.
However, fakeroot sporadically fails for us, aborting the package build.
Since our install scripts don't really require root (when operating in
the --packaging mode), we can just tell dpkg-buildpackage that we don't
need fakeroot. This ought to fix the sporadic failures.
As a side effect, package builds are faster.
Fixes#6655.
Now we generate dist/changelog on relocatable package generation time,
we cannot run '.rc' fixup on .deb package building time, need to do it
in debian_files_gen.py.
To make unified relocatable package easily, we may want to merge tarballs to single tarball like this:
zcat *.tar.gz | gzip -c > scylla-unified.tar.xz
But it's not possible with current relocatable package format, since there are multiple files conflicts, install.sh, SCYLLA-*-FILE, dist/, README.md, etc..
To support this, we need to archive everything in the directory when building relocatable package.
This is modifying relocatable package format, we need to provide a way to
detect the format version.
To do this, we added a new file ".relocatable_package_version" on the top of the
archive, and set version number "2" to the file.
Fixes#6315
Same as 9d91ac345a, drop dependency on pystache
since it nolonger present in Fedora 32.
To implement it, simplified debian package build process.
It will be generate debian/ directory when building relocatable package,
we just need to run debuild using the package.
To generate debian/ directory this commit added debian_files_gen.py,
it construct whole directory including control and changelog files
from template files.
Since we need to stop pystache, these template files swiched to
string.Template class which is included python3 standard library.

To use install.sh as Scylla install script w/o using .rpm/.deb package,
we need to provide a way to upgrade Scylla version, not just install.
With --upgrade option, install.sh does not overwrite config files.
It will install <filename>.new file on same directory, when old config file and
new config file does not contain same data.
If old one and new one is exactly same, it will nothing.
To implement this, rewriting api_ui_dir/api_doc_dir path on scylla.yaml
moved from .rpm/.deb scriptlet to install.sh.

On some environment systemd-coredump does not work with symlink directory,

This reverts commit 65aadad9a6. It causes

is called from rpm postinstall. The test should be done only from scylla_setup (and
the user should be warned).
Fixes#5916.
To install scylla using install.sh easily, we need to run following things:
- add scylla user/group

we also need to add --packaging option to skip them.

Since dpkg does not re-install conffiles when it removed by user,

commit 21dec3881c introduced
a bug that will cause scylla debian build to fail. This is
because the commit relied on the environment PRODUCT variable
to be exported (and as a result, to propogate to the rename
command that is executed by find in a subshell)
This commit fixes it by explicitly passing the PRODUCT variable
into the rename command.

When the product name is other than "scylla", the debian
packaging scripts go over all files that starts with "scylla-"
and change the prefix to be the actual product name.
However, if there are no such files in the directory
the script will fail since the renaming command will
get the wildcard string instrad of an actual file name.
This patch replaces the command with a command with
an equivalent desired effect that only operates on files
if there are any.

Since we merged /usr/lib/scylla with /opt/scylladb, we removed
/usr/lib/scylla and replace it with the symlink point to /opt/scylladb.
However, RPM does not support replacing a directory with a symlink,
we are doing some dirty hack using RPM scriptlet, but it causes
multiple issues on upgrade/downgrade.
(See: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Directory_Replacement/)
To minimize Scylla upgrading/downgrade issues on user side, it's better
to keep /usr/lib/scylla directory.
Instead of creating single symlink /usr/lib/scylla -> /opt/scylladb,
we can create symlinks for each setup scripts like
/usr/lib/scylla/<script> -> /opt/scylladb/scripts/<script>.
Fixes#5522Fixes#4585Fixes#4611
The vm.swappiness sysctl controls the kernel's prefernce for swapping
anonymous memory vs page cache. Since Scylla uses very large amounts
of anonymous memory, and tiny amounts of page cache, the correct setting
is to prefer swapping page cache. If the kernel swaps anonymous memory
the reactor will stall until the page fault is satisfied. On the other
hand, page cache pages usually belong to other applications, usually
backup processes that read Scylla files.
This setting has been used in production in Scylla Cloud for a while
with good results.
Users can opt out by not installing the scylla-kernel-conf package
(same as with the other kernel tunables).
--pkg option on install.sh is introduced for .deb packaging since it requires
different install directory for each subpackage.
But we actually able to use "debian/tmp" for shared install directory,
then we can specify file owner of the package using .install files.

It is well known that seastar applications, like Scylla, do not play
well with external processes: CPU usage from external processes may
confuse the I/O and CPU schedulers and create stalls.
We have also recently seen that memory usage from other application's
anonymous and page cache memory can bring the system to OOM.
Linux has a very good infrastructure for resource control contributed by
amazingly bright engineers in the form of cgroup controllers. This
infrastructure is exposed by SystemD in the form of slices: a
hierarchical structure to which controllers can be attached.
In true systemd way, the hierarchy is implicit in the filenames of the
slice files. a "-" symbol defines the hierarchy, so the files that this
patch presents, scylla-server and scylla-helper, essentially create a
"scylla" cgroup at the top level with "server" and "helper" children.
Later we mark the Services needed to run scylla as belonging to one
or the other through the Slice= directive.
Scylla DBAs can benefit from this setup by using the systemd-run
utility to fire ad-hoc commands.
Let's say for example that someone wants to hypothetically run a backup
and transfer files to an external object store like S3, making sure that
the amount of page cache used won't create swap pressure leading to
database timeouts.
One can then run something like:
sudo systemd-run --uid=id -u scylla --gid=id -g scylla -t --slice=scylla-helper.slice /path/to/my/magical_backup_tool

Our current relocation works by invoking the dynamic linker with the

the dynamic linker as the executable, not the real executable.
Switch to install-time relocation with patchelf: when installing the
executable and libraries, all paths are known, and we can update the
path to the dynamic loader and to the dynamic libraries.
Since patchelf itself is dynamically linked, we have to relocate it
dynamically (with the old method of invoking it via the dynamic linker).
This is okay since it's a one-time operation and since we don't expect
to debug core dumps of patchelf crashes.
We lose the ability to run scylla directly from the uninstalled
tarball, but since the nonroot installer is already moving in the
direction of requiring install.sh, that is not a great loss, and
certainly the ability to debug is more important.

There are systemd-related steps done in both rpm and deb builds.
Move that to a script so we avoid duplication.
The tests are so far a bit specific to the distributions, so it
needs to be adapted a bit.
Also note that this also fixes a bug with rpm as a side-effect:
rpm does not call daemon-reload after potentially changing the
systemd files (it is only implied during postun operations, that
happen during uninstall). daemon-reload was called explicitly for
debian packages, and now it is called for both.
