- Add a bindexec command.
- Add the variable SINGCVMFS_LOGDIR to override the location of the
cvmfs logs.
- Stop using $TMPDIR as a temporary variable name in cvmfsexec because it
might be already set and exported.

cvmfsexec-4.42 - 24 September 2024
- Add rhel9-aarch64 and rhel9-ppc64le machine types.

this can also be used with unprivileged singularity or apptainer.

In addition, this package contains a related tool called
[bindexec](#bindexec) which starts a new user namespace with given

By default the cvmfs logs are written to a top-level `log` directory, alongside
the top-level `dist` directory. The variable `SINGCVMFS_LOGDIR` can be used to
write them to a different directory, which will be created if it doesn't exist.

# bindexec

As a bonus, this package also includes a separate tool called `bindexec`
that accepts any set of bind mounts to add into a new unprivileged user
mount namespace. The usage is much like `cvmfsexec` except that instead
of cvmfs repository names you give it `src:dest` pairs where `src` is a
source directory or file and `dest` is a destination path. For example:

```
$ bindexec /etc/motd:/var/lib/mydir/motd -- ls /var/lib/mydir
motd
```

Like `cvmfsexec`, if no command is supplied after `--` it runs an
interactive shell.

Bind mounts require target destinations to exist, but if they are
missing `bindexec` will automatically create them. This requires the
fuse-overlayfs command to be in the PATH, although if there is demand
for it a script for making that easily distributable as well will be
supplied (probably through a `makedist` option).

Some system directories (`/proc`, `/sys`, `/dev`, and `/run`) are
included as-is on top of the overlay so anything bound into those
directories will not appear. In addition, any `nfs` filesystem types
are automatically added on top of the overlay because they don't work
properly through overlay, so no bind mounts will appear in those paths
either.

`bindexec` always creates a new process namespace because that's the
easiest way to make sure that the fuse-overlayfs process will exit when
the command exits. This means that processes start over at pid 1 and no
process can be seen outside of the namespace. Also because it is using
an unprivileged user namespace, any files owned by anyone other than the
current user will show up as being owned by `nobody` (just as it does in
`cvmfsexec`).
