From 7914c11d1ccd86d1d26541b6df38831a65fc7a30 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oliver Smith Date: Tue, 25 Oct 2022 21:49:29 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] README: remove outdated information * Links in the top row point to some very old blog posts and to the devices wiki page. Remove them, the first line has a link to postmarketos.org where the user should be able to get all relevant information about postmarketOS if they don't know this project. * "Package build scripts live in the pmaports repository now.", this was useful shortly after we made the change, but it has been like this for years now. Again, the postmarketOS homepage lists where other related source code is, in case the user doesn't know. * 2 GB of RAM recommened for compiling: this was a rule of thumb for when all postmarketOS packages had to be compiled from source. This is not the case anymore, we have a binary repository. Depending on which package you want to compile, you don't need as much RAM. And some users who just want to run 'pmbootstrap install' don't need to build anything at all. I think this is more confusing than helpful, so remove it. * Kernels based on grsec patchset are not supported. I don't think anyone will try this, this was more relevant when the patchset was still distributed freely and you could actually use it in Alpine Linux (by default even?) and Arch Linux. An artefact of the past. --- README.md | 5 ----- 1 file changed, 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 01c0eba0..2b602055 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -1,15 +1,10 @@ # pmbootstrap -[**Introduction**](https://postmarketos.org/blog/2017/05/26/intro/) | [**Security Warning**](https://ollieparanoid.github.io/post/security-warning/) | [**Devices**](https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices) Sophisticated chroot/build/flash tool to develop and install [postmarketOS](https://postmarketos.org). -Package build scripts live in the [`pmaports`](https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmaports) repository now. - ## Requirements -* 2 GB of RAM recommended for compiling * Linux distribution on the host system (`x86`, `x86_64`, or `aarch64`) * [Windows subsystem for Linux (WSL)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Subsystem_for_Linux) does **not** work!
