Subject: apk: Fix EBUSY in sync() when context.root is a mount point
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=HEAD;p=thirdparty%2Fmkosi.git

apk: Fix EBUSY in sync() when context.root is a mount point

sync() temporarily moved context.root out of the way to get an empty
directory to run apk against without touching the image root. This fails
when context.root is a mount point, e.g. when Overlay= is enabled:

    OSError: [Errno 16] Resource busy: '...root' -> '...saved-root'

This uses a throwaway directory in the workspace instead, since apk
doesn't need to run against context.root specifically.
