scripts/make-index-json: ensure that manifest output is in opkg format

2025-11-01T18:42:20Z

Certain existing tooling, such as 'package-metadata.pl', are written to accept the output of 'opkg list' with package manifest delimited by '-'. The 'make-index-json.py --manifest' output was emulating the 'apk list --manifest' format without the delimiting dash, thus breaking these legacy tools. We fix this by adding the dash to the manifest output, which allows all existing tooling to process the output irrespective of whether the build system uses opkg or apk.

imagebuilder: implement STRIP_ABI option for manifest target

2025-07-03T10:45:59Z

When using apk as the package manager, imagebuilder make command make manifest STRIP_ABI=1 does not strip package names of their ABI-version suffix. The ASU server relies on this to validate builds, so many snapshot build requests are failing. Fix this by using the already existing package data parser in make-index-json.py and augment it to write the result in manifest format.

scripts: make-index-json: rework for old Python versions

2025-06-24T21:59:06Z

The current code uses functions and features only found in newer versions of Python, so rework to allow use on systems only supporting older Python. Tested on Python 3.8 (released Oct 2019), but should work on 3.7 also. Suggested-by: Chen Minqiang Signed-off-by: Eric Fahlgren

package: rework contents of package index.json

2025-06-11T14:55:31Z

Rework the generation of the index.json version of the package indexes to match the original intent (i.e., for use by the ASU server and other downstream projects). The current file contains package names that have ABI versioning, making them unusable by ASU, so we now remove the ABI suffixes. Also adds a 'version' field to the json, so downstream utilities can detect the new semantics of the package name fields.
