- update to 1.2.0 with following changes:
* binary is built reproducible which disables plugins
* Create the current working directory in a container when it doesn't exist.
This restores behavior as it was before singularity 3.6.0. As a result,
using --no-mount home won't have any effect when running apptainer from a
home directory and will require --no-mount home,cwd to avoid mounting that
directory.
* Handle current working directory paths containing symlinks both on the host
and in a container but pointing to different destinations. If detected, the
current working directory is not mounted when the destination directory in
the container exists.
* Destination mount points are now sorted by shortest path first to ensure
that a user bind doesn't override a previous bind path when set in
arbitrary order on the CLI. This is also applied to image binds.
* When the kernel supports unprivileged overlay mounts in a user namespace,
the container will be constructed by default using an overlay instead of an
underlay layout for bind mounts. A new --underlay action option can be used
to prefer underlay instead of overlay.
* sessiondir maxsize in apptainer.conf now defaults to 64 MiB for new
installations. This is an increase from 16 MiB in prior versions.
* The apptainer cache is now architecture aware, so the same home directory
cache can be shared by machines with different architectures.
* Overlay is blocked on the panfs filesystem, allowing sandbox directories to
be run from panfs without error.
* Lookup and store user/group information in stage one prior to entering any
namespaces, to fix an issue with winbind not correctly looking up
user/group information when using user namespaces.
- New features / functionalities
* Support for unprivileged encryption of SIF files using gocryptfs. This is
not compatible with privileged encryption, so containers encrypted by root

- update to 1.1.9 with following changes:
* Remove warning about unknown xino=on option from fuse-overlayfs, introduced
in 1.1.8.
* Ignore extraneous warning from fuse-overlayfs about a readonly /proc.
* Fix dropped "n" characters on some platforms in definition file stored as
part of SIF metadata.
* Remove duplicated group ids.
* Fix not being able to handle multiple entries in LD_PRELOAD when binding
fakeroot into container during apptainer startup for --fakeroot with
fakeroot command.

- Included a fix for CVE-2023-30549 which is a vulnerability in setuid-root
installations of Apptainer iwhich was not active in the recent openSUSE
packages. Still this is included for completenss. The fix adds allow
setuid-mount configuration options encrypted, squashfs, and extfs, and makes
the default for extfs be "no". That disables the use of extfs mounts
including for overlays or binds while in the setuid-root mode, while leaving
it enabled for unprivileged user namespace mode. The default for encrypted
and squashfs is "yes".
- Other bug fixes:
* Fix loop device 'no such device or address' spurious errors when using shared
loop devices.
* Add xino=on mount option for writable kernel overlay mount points to fix
inode numbers consistency after kernel cache flush (not applicable to
fuse-overlayfs).

- updated to 1.1.7 with following changes:
* removed simpler-sif-building.patch as this was incoperated upstream
* Allow gpu options such as --nv to be nested by always inheriting all
libraries bound in to a parent container's /.singularity.d/libs.
* Map the user's home directory to the root home directory by default in the
non-subuid fakeroot mode like it was in the subuid fakeroot mode, for both
action commands and building containers from definition files.
* Make the error message more helpful in another place where a remote is
found to have no library client.
* Avoid incorrect error when requesting fakeroot network.
* Pass computed LD_LIBRARY_PATH to wrapped unsquashfs. Fixes issues where
unsquashfs on host uses libraries in non-default paths.

- update to 1.1.6 with following changes:
* Included a fix for CVE-2022-23538 which potentially leaked user credentials
to a third-party S3 storage service when using the library:// protocol. See
the https://github.com/sylabs/scs-library-client/security/advisories/GHSA-7p8m-22h4-9pj7
for details.
* Make PS1 environment variable changeable via %environment section on
definition file that used to be only changeable via APPTAINERENV_PS1
outside of container. This makes the container's prompt customizable.
* Fix the passing of nested bind mounts when there are multiple binds
separated by commas and some of them have colons separating sources and
destinations.
* Hide messages about SINGULARITY variables if corresponding APPTAINER
variables are defined. Fixes a regression introduced in 1.1.4.
* Print a warning if extra arguments are given to a shell action, and show in
the run action usage that arguments may be passed.
* Check for the existence of the runtime executable prefix, to avoid issues
when running under Slurm's srun. If it doesn't exist, fall back to the
compile-time prefix.
* Increase the timeout on image driver (that is, FUSE) mounts from 2 seconds
to 10 seconds. Instead, print an INFO message if it takes more than 2
seconds.
* If a remote is defined both globally (i.e. system-wide) and individually,
change apptainer remote commands to print an info message instead of
exiting with a fatal error and to give precedence to the individual
configuration.

- Update to 1.1.5 with following changes:
* Fix the use of fakeroot, faked, and libfakeroot.so if they are not suffixed
by -sysv, as is for instance the case on Gentoo Linux.
* Prevent the use of a --libexecdir or --bindir mconfig option from making
apptainer think it was relocated and so preventing use of suid mode. The
bug was introduced in v1.1.4.
* Add helpful error message for build --remote option.
* Add more helpful error message when no library endpoint found.
* Avoid cleanup errors on exit when mountpoints are busy by doing a lazy
unmount if a regular unmount doesn't work after 10 tries.
* Make messages about using SINGULARITY variables less scary.

- Update to 1.1.4 with following changes:
* Make the binaries built in the unprivileged apptainer package relocatable.
When moving the binaries to a new location, the /usr at the top of some of
the paths needs to be removed. Relocation is disallowed when the
starter-suid is present, for security reasons.
* Change the warning when an overlay image is not writable, introduced in
v1.1.3, back into a (more informative) fatal error because it doesn't
actually enter the container environment.
* Set the --net flag if --network or --network-args is set rather than
silently ignoring them if --net was not set.
* Do not hang on pull from http(s) source that doesn't provide a content-length.
* Avoid hang on fakeroot cleanup under high load seen on some distributions / kernels.
* Remove obsolete pacstrap -d in Arch packer.
* Adjust warning message for deprecated environment variables usage.
* Enable the --security uid:N and --security gid:N options to work when run
in non-suid mode. In non-suid mode they work with any user, not just root.
Unlike with root and suid mode, however, only one gid may be set in
non-suid mode.
- Changes from 1.1.3
* Prefer the fakeroot-sysv command over the fakeroot command because the
latter can be linked to either fakeroot-sysv or fakeroot-tcp, but
fakeroot-sysv is much faster.
* Update the included squashfuse_ll to have -o uid=N and -o gid=N options and
changed the corresponding image driver to use them when available. This
makes files inside sif files appear to be owned by the user instead of by
the nobody id 65534 when running in non-setuid mode.
* Fix the locating of shared libraries when running unsquashfs from a non-standard location.
* Properly clean up temporary files if unsquashfs fails.
* Fix the creation of missing bind points when using image binding with underlay.
* Change the error when an overlay image is not writable into a warning that

- Updated to version 1.1.0-rc3 with following changes:
* added squashfuse-0.1.105.tar.gz and 70.patch for the build of squashfuse_ll
which will be removed as soon as the multithread patch is incoperated
* Change squash mounts to prefer to use squashfuse_ll instead of squashfuse,
if available, for improved performance. squashfuse_ll is not available
in factory.
* Also, for even better parallel performance, include a patched
multithreaded version of squashfuse_ll in
* Imply adding ${prefix}/libexec/apptainer/bin to the binary path in
apptainer.conf, which is used for searching for helper executables. It is
implied as the first directory of $PATH if present (which is at the
beginning of binary path by default) or just as the first directory if
$PATH is not included in binary path.
${prefix}/libexec/apptainer/bin.
* Add --unsquash action flag to temporarily convert a SIF file to a sandbox
before running. In previous versions this was the default when running a
SIF file without setuid or with fakeroot, but now the default is to instead
mount with squashfuse.
* Add --sparse flag to overlay create command to allow generation of a sparse
ext3 overlay image.
* Support for a custom hashbang in the %test section of an Apptainer recipe
(akin to the runscript and start sections).
* When using fakeroot in setuid mode, have the image drivers first enter the
the container's user namespace to avoid write errors with overlays.
* Skip trying to use kernel overlayfs when using writable overlay and the
lower layer is FUSE, because of a kernel bug introduced in kernel 5.15.
* Add additional hidden options to the action command for testing different
fakeroot modes with --fakeroot: --ignore-subuid, --ignore-fakeroot-command,
and --ignore-userns.

OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/network:cluster/apptainer?expand=0&rev=19
- Udpated to version 1.1.0-rc2 with following changes:
* Fixed longstanding bug in the underlay logic when there are nested bind
points separated by more than one path level, for example /var and
/var/lib/yum, and the path didn't exist in the container image. The bug
only caused an error when there was a directory in the container image that
didn't exist on the host.
* Improved wildcard matching in the %files directive of build definition
files by replacing usage of sh with the mvdan.cc library.
* Replaced checks for compatible filesystem types when using fuse-overlayfs
with an INFO message when an incompatible filesystem type causes it to be
unwritable by a fakeroot user.
* The --nvccli option now works without --fakeroot. In that case the option
can be used with --writable-tmpfs instead of --writable, and
--writable-tmpfs is implied if neither option is given. Note that also
/usr/bin has to be writable by the user, so without --fakeroot that
probably requires a sandbox image that was built with --fix-perms.
* The --nvccli option implies --nv.
* Configure squashfuse to always show files to be owned by the current user.
That's especially important for fakeroot to prevent most of the files from
looking like they are owned by user 65534.
* The fakeroot command can now be used even if $PATH is empty in the
environment of the apptainer command.
* Allow the newuidmap command to be missing if the current user is not listed
in /etc/subuid.
* Require the uidmap package in Debian packaging.
* Improved error handling of unsupported pass protected PEM files with
encrypted containers.
* Ensure bootstrap_history directory is populated with previous definition
files, present in source containers used in a build.
* Add additional options to the build command for testing different fakeroot

- Updated to version 1.1.0-rc1 which enables apptainer to run without
suid and additional groups. Although this is a prerelease this is
a major advantage justifying its use.
* Added a squashfuse image driver that enables mounting SIF files without
using setuid-root. Requires the squashfuse command and unprivileged user
namespaces.
* Added a fuse2fs image driver that enables mounting EXT3 files and EXT3 SIF
overlay partitions without using setuid-root. Requires the fuse2fs command
and unprivileged user namespaces.
* Added the ability to use persistent overlay (--overlay) and
--writable-tmpfs without using setuid-root. This requires unprivileged user
namespaces and either a new enough kernel (>= 5.11) or the fuse-overlayfs
command. Persistent overlay works when the overlay path points to a regular
filesystem (known as "sandbox" mode, which is not allowed when in setuid
mode), or when it points to an EXT3 image. Does not work with a SIF
partition because that requires privileges to mount as an ext3 image.
* Extended the --fakeroot option to be useful when /etc/subuid and
/etc/subgid mappings have not been set up. If they have not been set up, a
root-mapped unprivileged user namespace (the equivalent of unshare -r)
and/or the fakeroot command from the host will be tried. Together they
emulate the mappings pretty well but they are simpler to administer. This
feature is especially useful with the --overlay and --writable-tmpfs
options and for building containers unprivileged, because they allow
installing packages that assume they're running as root. A limitation on
using it with --overlay and --writable-tmpfs however is that when only the
fakeroot command can be used (because there are no user namespaces
available, in suid mode) then the base image has to be a sandbox. This
feature works nested inside of an apptainer container, where another
apptainer command will also be in the fakeroot environment without
requesting the --fakeroot option again, or it can be used inside an

- Update to version 1.0.3:
* Process redirects that can come from sregistry with a library:// URL.
* Fix inspect --deffile and inspect --all to correctly show definition files
in sandbox container images instead of empty output. This has a side effect
of also fixing the storing of definition files in the metadata of sif files
built by Apptainer, because that metadata is constructed by doing inspect
--all.

- Updated to v1.0.1 with following bug fixes
* Don't prompt for y/n to overwrite an existing file when build is called
from a non-interactive environment. Fail with an error.
* Preload NSS libraries prior to mountspace name creation to avoid
circumstances that can cause loading those libraries from the container
image instead of the host, for example in the startup environment.
* Fix race condition where newly created loop devices can sometimes not be opened.
* Support nvidia-container-cli v1.8.0 and above, via fix to capability set.
