Some logic looks problematic and is causing jockey to fail to find
drivers on our on-disk repositories. Local on-disk archives are used
a lot in OEM on customer's first boot. We are currently carrying
patches to Jockey for a number of OEM projects to get around this.
I have found 3 issues in the code related to this:
1. The code in OSLib::has_repositories assumes URIs - "://" from apt-
cache policy. If the archive is file based it will be
"file:/foo/bar/..." and so will not satisfy the test.
2. There is also a similar problem in the detection.py code -
DriverDB::_cache_id(self), which also assumes a "://". When I altered
it to this (along with fixing the above) jockey worked as I would
hope:
m = re.match(".*::/{1,2}(.*)")
if m:
u = m.group(1)
But I'm not sure if that's sufficiently tight? Perhaps
".*(file:/|://)(.*)", and then group(2)?
3. The on-disk binary drivers will be unsigned, so will fail. I
would think an appropriate solution would be to allow the signature
checking to be turned off with a command line option.
