This commit removes permission editing commands from the postinst
scriptlet. Instead, we now fully configure the owner/group (as well as
sticky bit) for these files and directories.

Currently is `java` is not in $PATH the preinst script fails
prematurely and prevents an appropriate message from getting displayed
to the user.
Make package installation more user friendly when java is not in
$PATH and add a test for it.
Also use a she-bang in the preinst script, as, at least in Debian,
maintainer scripts must start with the #! convention [1].

On some Linux distributions tmpfiles.d cleans files and
directories under /tmp if they haven't been accessed for
10 days.
This can cause problems for ML as ML is currently the only
component that uses the temp directory more than a few
seconds after startup. If you didn't open an ML job for
10 days and then tried to open one then the temp directory
would have been deleted.
This commit prevents the problem occurring in the case of
Elasticsearch being managed by systemd, as systemd private
temp directories are not subject to periodic cleanup (by
default).
Additionally there are now some docs to warn people about
the risk and suggest a manual mitigation for .tar.gz users.
Explicitly include all subdirectories of these folders in
/usr/share/elasticsearch in package distributions so that they are
managed by the package manager. This change does really have an
effect in the 7.x series, where there are no subdirectories in bin, and
we were already doing this in lib and modules. It does have an effect in
the 6.x series where the bin/x-pack subdirectory was not previously
tracked by the package manager and could be left behind on removal in
rpm distributions.
* Remove BouncyCastle dependency from runtime
This commit introduces a new gradle project that contains
the classes that have a dependency on BouncyCastle. For
the default distribution, It builds a jar from those and
in puts it in a subdirectory of lib
(/tools/security-cli) along with the BouncyCastle jars.
This directory is then passed in the
ES_ADDITIONAL_CLASSPATH_DIRECTORIES of the CLI tools
that use these classes.
BouncyCastle is removed as a runtime dependency (remains
as a compileOnly one) from x-pack core and x-pack security.
So the issue here is that we want to avoid setting vm.max_map_count if
it is already equal to the desired value (the bootstrap check requires
262144). The reason we want to avoid this is because in some use-cases
using sysctl to set this will fail. In this case, we want to enable
users to set this value externally and then allow that to cause using
sysctl to set the value to be skipped so that cases where using sysctl
will fail to no longer fail.
The package installation relies on java being in the path. If java is
not in the path, the tests fail at post-install time. This commit adds a
pre-install check to validate that java exists, and if it fails, the
package is never installed, and thus keeps a system clean, rather than
aborting at post-install and leaving behind a mess.
Closes#29665
This commit modifies the Sys V init startup scripts to only modify
vm.max_map_count if needed. In this case, needed means that the current
value is less than our default value of 262144 maps.
We sign our official plugins yet this is not well-advertised and not at
all consumed during plugin installation. For plugins that are installed
over the intertubes, verifying that the downloaded artifact is signed by
our signing key would establish both integrity and validity of the
downloaded artifact. The chain of trust here is simple: our installable
artifacts (archive and package distributions) so that if a user trusts
our packages via their signatures, and our plugin installer (which would
be executing trusted code) verifies the downloaded plugin, then the user
can trust the downloaded plugin too. This commit adds verification of
official plugins downloaded during installation. We do not add
verification for offline plugin installs; a user can download our
signatures and verify the artifacts themselves.
This commit also needs to solve a few interesting challenges. One of
these is that we want the bouncy castle JARs on the classpath only for
the plugin installer, but not for the runtime
Elasticsearch. Additionally, we want these JARs to not be present for
the JAR hell checks. To address this, we shift these JARs into a
sub-directory of lib (lib/tools/plugin-cli) that is only loaded for the
plugin installer, and in the plugin installer we filter any JARs in this
directory from the JAR hell check.
If you have an unusual umask (e.g., 0002) and clone the GitHub
repository then files that we stick into our packages like the
README.textile and the license will have a file mode of 0664 on disk yet
we expect them to be 0644. Additionally, the same thing happens with
compiled artifacts like JARs. We try to set a default file mode yet it
does not seem to take everywhere. This commit adds explicit file modes
in some places that we were relying on the defaults to ensure that the
built artifacts have a consistent file mode regardless of the underlying
build host.
This commit adds setting the homedir for the elasticsearch user to the
adduser command in the packaging preinstall script. While the
elasticsearch user is a system user, it is sometimes conventient to have
an existing homedir (even if it is not writeable). For example, running
cron as the elasticsearch user will try to change dir to the homedir.

Systemd overrides should happen through /etc/systemd/system, not
directly editing the service file. This commit removes marking the
service file as configuration for rpm and deb packages.
This commit converts the deb package to use tildes in place of dash in
the internal package version. This is only relevant for prerelease
versions of elasticsearch. Previously, this was not possible due to
problems with the underlying library used by the ospackage plugin, but
since a recent upgrade, it now works.
closes#21139
Adds tasks that check that the all jars that we build have LICENSE.txt
and NOTICE.txt files and that the files are correct. Sets check to
depend on these task.
This is mostly there for extra parnoia because we automatically
configure all Jar tasks to include the LICENSE.txt and NOTICE.txt
files anyway. But it is quite possible to add configuration to those
tasks that would override either file.
This causes check to depend on several more things than it used to.
Take, for example, javadoc:
check depends on the new verifyJavadocJarNotice which depends on
extractJavadocJar which depends on javadocJar which depends on
javadoc, this check now depends on javadoc.
This commit adds some build time checks that the archive distributions
and package distributions contain the appropriate license and notice
files, and the package distributions contain the appropriate license
metadata.
This commit uses the customFields setting of the Deb task in ospackage
to work around the fact it does not know anything about the License
attribute natively.
THe deb distribution has a special copyright file instead of
LICENSE.txt, but the distributions were including the template file
instead of the rendered file (which includes the license name and text).
This commit moves the apache and elastic license files into a new
root level `licenses` directory and rewrites the top level LICENSE.txt
to clarify the repository has a mix of apache and elastic licensed code.
This commit adds license metadata to rpm and deb packages. Additionally,
it makes the copyright file for deb files follow the machine readable
specification, and sets the correct license text based on the oss vs
default deb packages.
This commit adds the distribution flavor (default versus oss) to the
build process which is passed through the startup scripts to
Elasticsearch. This change will be used to customize the message on
attempting to install/remove x-pack based on the distribution flavor.
This commit makes x-pack a module and adds it to the default
distrubtion. It also creates distributions for zip, tar, deb and rpm
which contain only oss code.
When upgrading via the RPM package, we can run into a problem where
the keystore fails to be created. This arises because the %post script
on RPM runs after the new package files are installed but before the
removal of the old package files. This means that the contents of the
lib folder can contain files from the old package and the new package
and thus running the create keystore tool can encounter JAR hell
issues and fail. To solve this, we move creating the keystore to the
%posttrans script which runs after the old package files are
removed. We only need to do this on the RPM package, so we add a
switch in the shared post-install script.
We no longer source the environment file in the packaging scripts yet we
had leftover references to variables defined by those environment
files. This commit cleans these up.
Previously we allowed a lot of customization of Elasticsearch during
package installation (e.g., the username and group). This customization
was achieved by sourcing the env script (e.g.,
/etc/sysconfig/elasticsearch) during installation. Since we no longer
allow such flexibility, we do not need to source these env scripts
during package installation and removal.
This commit removes the ability to specify that a plugin requires the
keystore and instead creates the keystore on package installation or
when Elasticsearch is started for the first time. The reason that we opt
to create the keystore on package installation is to ensure that the
keystore has the correct permissions (the package installation scripts
run as root as opposed to Elasticsearch running as the elasticsearch
user) and to enable removing the keystore on package removal if the
keystore is not modified.
This commit moves the distribution specific tasks into the respective
archives and packages builds. The collocation of common and distribution
specific tasks make it much easier to reason about what is expected in a
particular distribution.
This commit adds intermediate gradle projects for archive based
distributions (zip, tar) and package based distributions (rpm, deb). The
grouping allows the common distribution build file to be considerably
shorter and clearly separated from the common zip/tar and rpm/deb
configuration.
