steam-runtime-tools v0.20240321.0

  * steam-runtime-system-info:
    - Do the same functional tests on bwrap that were previously only
      done in s-r-check-requirements (steamrt/tasks#406)
    - Do a functional test on flatpak-portal subsandboxes
      (steamrt/tasks#406)
  * steam-runtime-check-requirements:
    - Emit more specific messages for several common bwrap problems
      (steamrt/tasks#406)
    - Detect several common Flatpak problems (steamrt/tasks#406)
  * steam-runtime-launch-client:
    - Document --env-fd
  * srt-logger:
    - New tool to divert command output to a log file (with rotation),
      the terminal from which Steam was run (if any), and optionally
      the systemd Journal (steamrt/tasks#393)
    - Unset LD_PRELOAD etc. before running srt-bwrap, matching what we will
      actually do in pressure-vessel (steam-runtime#658)
  * steam-runtime-dialog:
    - New tool, a wrapper for zenity-style UIs (steamrt/tasks#376)
  * steam-runtime-dialog-ui:
    - New tool, a fallback UI for steam-runtime-dialog (steamrt/tasks#376)
  * steam-runtime-launch-options:
    - Use ~/.steam/root/steam-dialog, if available, in preference to zenity
  * pressure-vessel:
    - Treat $BWRAP as less-preferred than pv-bwrap. The order we try is now:
      $PRESSURE_VESSEL_BWRAP > srt-bwrap > $BWRAP > system bwrap
      instead of the previous:
      $PRESSURE_VESSEL_BWRAP > $BWRAP > srt-bwrap > system bwrap
    - Add a PRESSURE_VESSEL_WORKAROUNDS environment variable.
      This is a space- or comma-separated list of
      workarounds to enable ("+foo") or disable ("-foo").
      Currently workarounds `steam-snap#356`, `steam-snap#369` and
      `steam-snap#370` are enabled by default while running under Snap,
      but they can be disabled to test new Snap releases where the relevant
      bug has been fixed.
      For non-Snap systems, the initial workarounds are `bwrap-no-perms`
      and `bwrap-setuid`, which are used automatically if they appear to be
      needed, but can be explicitly enabled or disabled for testing.
    - Fix a regression when using a setuid system copy of bubblewrap
      (steam-runtime#650)
    - Make library dependencies in /var/lib/snapd/hostfs available,
      fixing missing /usr/share/nvidia (steam-runtime#586).
      This is only done if `-steam-snap#359` appears in
      PRESSURE_VESSEL_WORKAROUNDS.
    - Make library dependencies in /snap available, fixing missing
      /usr/share/libdrm (steam-runtime#586).
      This cannot yet be done by default because it is not allowed by the
      AppArmor profile (canonical/steam-snap/issues/359), so it is only done
      if "-steam-snap#359" appears in PRESSURE_VESSEL_WORKAROUNDS.
    - Under Flatpak, use --env-fd to shorten s-r-launch-client command line
    - Remove dead code for non-subsandbox Flatpak
    - Refactoring
  * SteamLinuxRuntime_sniper.sh:
    - exec entry point instead of running it as a subprocess.
      This saves us a process, and more directly, it means that there's one
      fewer process that will not terminate its descendants when killed.
    - Use ~/.steam/root/steam-dialog for UI if available
  * Refactoring
  * tests: Improve unit test coverage
