Add this argument, so we can disable the pmOS repository during
"pmbootstrap repo_bootstrap" for the chroot we build in.
If building natively, it will be disabled in the "native" chroot.
If building for a foreign arch, it will be disabled in the
"buildroot_$arch" chroot, but still be enabled in the native chroot so
we have the cross compilers available.
The name of the argument is a bit long, but it is consistent with the
argument of the same name in pmb.helpers.repo.urls() (to which it gets
passed).
This fixes an issue when pmb is run on an Alpine/pmOS host and apk.static sees
that /etc/apk/interactive is set on the host. It's really annoying to have the
build pause so apk can prompt when building chroots, so this uses a flag to apk
to disable interactive mode. I can't think of any situations where we would
actually want to prompt users when building chroots, by then all user
configuration should have been completed via pmb init/config.

Check if the pkgnames are sane in install_run_apk, right before running
apk. This makes sure that we really run it on all arguments that are
supposed to be packages / files and not options to apk.
Previously pmbootstrap would only show the packages that are about to be
installed. In case all packages were already installed, this would lead
to weird empty install messages:
(rootfs_asus-me176c) install
Show all packages that we want to install, even if they are already
installed in the given chroot.
(rootfs_asus-me176c) install device-asus-me176c
Previously to this patch, pmbootstrap would pass a full dependency tree
to "apk add". It would use a virtual package to ensure only the right
packages get added to /etc/apk/world. For example:
apk add -u --virtual .pmbootstrap postmarketos-base device-asus-me176c \
postmarketos-ui-sxmo-de-sway device-asus-me176c-nonfree-firmware w3m \
sfeed clickclack firefox-esr font-noto font-noto-emoji gnome-icon-theme \
imv megapixels mobile-config-firefox ttyescape postmarketos-base-nofde \
eudev openssh postmarketos-mkinitfs postmarketos-mvcfg postmarketos-keys \
...
Instead of doing that, only pass the packages we want to install and let
apk figure out the dependencies. Most of the time we can even avoid
using the virtual package now.
== Remaining edge case: locally built packages
apk will only upgrade a package with the same pkgver + pkgrel but a
different build date if the full path to an apk file gets passed as
argument. So if the user built a package locally that will be installed,
or one of its dependencies then we still need to use a virtual package
and possibly pass a dependency to apk. Replace
replace_aports_packages_with_path() with packages_get_locally_built_apks()
to get a list of such packages and adjust install() and
install_run_apk() to use it.
Make the code easier to read by moving split_to_add_del() to a separate
function and do some related refactoring. A future patch will use it
twice in install().
Move "arch = ..." to the top of the function while at it, since it's
needed later in the function in 2 places and is not needed for figuring
out packages_with_depends, to_add and to_del.
Remove "# Add depends to packages" because it's obvious from the
packages_with_depends variable name, and getting to_add/to_del is a
different action that stood under the same comment.
Split out the part that builds the apk commands and runs them out from
install() to a new function install_run_apk(). This makes install()
easier to read.
Since the previous commit that adds install_build(), all packages either
end up in to_add or to_del. Move the check for empty packages to the top
of the function, and directly check the packages variable.
I think it's worth keeping this check because it's shorter to add this
check once here than having it a few times in other place where we may
have or may not have something to install. And so we can avoid printing
an empty "install" message with no packages.
install_is_necessary used to do the following things:
1. Error out if there's no binary package but pmb was invoked as
"pmbootstrap install" and build_pkgs_on_install is disabled.
2. Build the package if necessary.
3. Return if a package "needs to be installed" (Boolean or Float).
The only caller of the function is pmb.chroot.apk.install. It would not
add the package to the long "apk add" command if according to 3. it does
not need to be installed.
When I implemented this a few years ago, I probably thought it would be
useful to not unnecessarily pass packages to apk. But this actually
makes it more complicated and doesn't have a benefit, apk is perfectly
capable of recognizing which packages it had already installed.
Replace the function with a much simpler pmb.chroot.apk.install_build,
which only does 1. and 2. Change the order of the package, arch
arguments to match called functions pmb.parse.apkindex.package and
pmb.build.package.
Put underscores between the words for consistency with other variable
names. Since the whole function is about dealing with packages, remove
the "packages_" prefix to make them shorter.
packages_toadd -> to_add
packages_todel -> to_del
When installing dependencies for a package, conflicting (!) dependencies
are now deleted (with `apk del pkg`) whereas before a constraint for
their _absence_ was added (with `apk add !pkg`). Doing it the new way
around prevents creating deadlocks because a `!pkg` constraint will
prevent pkg from ever being installed without an explicit `apk del`
call.
Fixes: #2092
Replace "args.cache" with a global variable in order to
avoid passing "args" to all functions. This is a step to get rid of this
args-passed-to-all-functions pattern in pmbootstrap.
Support branches, so pmbootstrap won't fail if v20.05 is selected:
ERROR: You have an outdated version of the 'apk' package manager installed
(your version: 2.10.5-r1, expected at least: 2.12.1-r0).
Move the logic for this check to pmb.helpers.apk.check_outdated and
adjust the test.
This fixes the CI failure in test_crossdirect_rust, which uses the
stable channel. (My bad for not creating this patch earlier, while at
the same time explaining in the creating pmbootstrap release instructions,
that this minimum apk version should be adjusted.)
Remove "_static" from the variable name, as this version isn't just
used to compare apk-tools-static's version (used to set up chroot), but
also for regular apk-tools before entering chroots.
Do not attempt to upgrade packages in the rootfs chroot when running
"pmbootstrap install".
This was responsible for placing every single package in /etc/apk/world
(which should only hold the packages explicitly installed), because the
upgrade function was literally implemented as getting a list of
installed packages and explicitly running pmb.chroot.apk.install on each
of them. The intention was to rebuild these packages if they were outdated,
I guess I didn't realize that this makes /etc/apk/world unusable when I
introduced this three years ago in 51bdc243 ("Properly rebuild/install
packages when something changed").
Remove pmb.chroot.apk.upgrade altogether, because:
1) pmb.install.install builds and upgrades outdated pmaports
2) pmb.install.install is the only user of pmb.chroot.apk.upgrade
3) 'pmbootstrap init' is warning that the chroots do not get upgraded
automatically, so let's not go against that expectation. users who
want an updated rootfs chroot can simply run zap and install again.
Replace it with a call to pmb.helpers.repo.update, because we still need
to update the APKINDEX files before attempting to build/install the
generated list of packages.
Add a question at the end of "pmbootstrap init", to ask if the user
wants to build outdated packages during "pmbootstrap install". Store the
result in the new pmbootstrap.cfg key "build_pkgs_on_install". I've put it at
the end, because it is a rather complicated question compared to the rest.
This is useful to speed up the installation for casual users who can now
avoid compiling packages. But also for the official images where we only
want to ship the official binary packages and not build anything
on-the-fly.
While at it, also remove unnecessary "#!/usr/bin/env python3" in files
that only get imported, and adjust other empty/comment lines in the
beginnings of the files for consistency.
This makes files easier to read, and makes the pmbootstrap codebase more
consistent with the build.postmarketos.org codebase.
Because of an APKINDEX subpkg parsing bug, pmbootstrap currently assumes
that "ktp-common-internals" provides "make". It fails with a cryptic
error when trying to build a package without an existing postmarketOS
binary packages mirror (like done in the build.postmarketos.org
testsuite):
File "/home/user/code/pmbootstrap/pmb/chroot/apk.py", line 174, in replace_aports_packages_with_path
package + "-" + data_repo["version"] + ".apk")
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable
Replace this error with a more meaningful message, that points to the
issue analyzing this bug.

Move find_aport() and find_aport_guess_main() from pmb/build/other.py
to the new file pmb/helpers/pmaports.py.
Finding aports is not only needed when building packages, hence it
makes sense to move it out of pmb.build. The pmb/helpers/pmaports.py
file will have more pmaports related functions in a follow up commit.
### Only download APKINDEX for relevant architectures
We're downloading the APKINDEX files for all architectures supported by
postmarketOS currently (x86, x86_64, armhf, aarch64). Most of the time,
we only need it for the native and device arch, so this PR reduces the
downloaded files to what is really necessary.
### Intuitive pmbootstrap update logic
* pmb.helpers.repo.update():
* Default is updating all arches where the APKBUILD files exist
* Add existing_only parameter
* Return True when files have been downloaded
* Properly print which arches will be updated
* Print update reason only in verbose log
* Add and improve comments
* pmb.parse.arguments(), update action:
* Add --non-existing parameter
* Default for --arch is None (instead of arch.native)
* pmb.helpers.frontend.update():
* Inform about --non-existing if no APKBUILDs have been updated
pmbootstrap does dependency resolving on its own, and passes the list
of resolved packages to apk when we want it to install something. The
reason was outlined in #129:
> fixing #120: packages do not get updated in "pmbootstrap install"
> after they have been rebuilt. For this to work, we specify all
> packages explicitly for abuild, instead of letting abuild do the
> resolving.
This new PR fixes#1212 (which noted that all of these dependencies
were explicitly marked for installation) by doing the following:
1. All packages and dependencies get attached to the virtual package
.pmbootstrap instead of world
2. We install the packages (without depends) explcitly
3. .pmbootstrap gets removed, which means that all packages from 1.
stay installed, but are no longer marked as explicitly installed.
They will get removed automatically, when the depending packages get
removed.
In addition, the mechanism for replacing the package of locally built
packages with their full path, was broken and has been fixed in this
commit. This is necessary to update packages of the same version with
apk.
* The APKINDEX parser used to return a dictionary with one package for
a given package name. This works for the installed packages database,
because there can only be one provider for a package. But when
parsing packages from binary repositories, we need to support
multiple providers for one package. It is now possible to get a
dictionary with either multiple providers, or just a single provider
for each package.
* Dependency parsing logic has been adjusted, to support multiple
providers. For multiple providers, the one with the same package
name as the package we are looking up is prefered. If there is none
(eg. "so:libEGL.so.1" is provided by "mesa-egl"), it prefers packages
that will be installed anyway, and after that packages that are
already installed. When all else fails, it just picks the first one
and prints a note in the "pmbootstrap log".
* Added testcases for all functions in pmb.parse.apkindex and
pmb.parse.depends
* pmbootstrap chroot has a new "--add" parameter to specify packages
that pmbootstrap should build if neccessary, and install in the
chroot. This can be used to quickly test the depencency resolution
of pmbootstrap without doing a full "pmbootstrap install".
Fixes#1122.
This PR makes the workflow faster and pmbootstrap will
produce less traffic. Details:
* Check if it's possible to create and read from a device
node directly when initializing a chroot (closes#472)
* Copy the Qemu binary into the forign-arch chroots
before initializing them, so the post-install script
directly work during the chroot setup and we don't need
to call apk fix afterwards
* Use pmb.helpers.repo.update(), which only updates the
APKINDEX files if they are older than 4 hours, instead
of using apk's repo update function which always
downloads the APKINDEX files
* Chroot initialization
* Getting the initial APKINDEX to download apk-tools-static
* Updating the APKINDEX at the start of pmbootstrap install
* Fixed a bug in from_chroot_suffix: the buildroot_x86_64 has
architecture x86_64, not x86.
* Rename pmb/build/package.py to pmb/build/_package.py, so we can
access the functions it contains in testcases, and still use
pmb.build.package()
* Refactor the entire file. Instead of one big function that does
too many things, we have many small ones now, that are tested
in the testsuite and easier to modify
* Whenever building a package, pmbootstrap does not only build and
install the "makedepends" (like we did before), now it does the
same for the "depends". That's required to be compatible with
abuild. The old behavior can still be used with 'pmbootstrap
build --ignore-depends'.
* Because of that change, noarch packages can no longer be built in
the native chroot if we need them for a foreign chroot. A device-
package depending on a kernel would pull in the same kernel for
the native architecture otherwise.
* Running 'pmbootstrap build device-...' without '--ignore-depends'
and without a matching '--arch' displays a note that explains
this change to the user and tells how to use it instead.
* Noarch packages no longer get symlinked. That was only
implemented for packages built in the native chroot, and now that
is not always the case anymore. Symlinking these packages creates
packages with broken dependencies anyway (e.g.
device-samsung-i9100 can't be installed in x86_64, because
linux-samsung-i9100 is armhf only).
* Rename "carch" to "arch" wherever used. Naming it "carch"
sometimes is confusing with no benefit.
* Add a testcase for the aarch64 qemu workaround (because it failed
first and I needed to know for sure if it is working again).
* Improved some verbose logging, which helped with development of
this feature.
* Removed the old "build" test case (which was disabled in
testcases_fast.sh) as the new "build_package" test case covers its
functionallity.
* Only build indexes if the packages folder exists for that arch (Travis
couldn't run a test case otherwise)
* Allow to specify a custom username in "pmbootstrap init"
* Build chroots have "pmos" instead of "user" as username now
* Installation user UID is 1000 now (as in all other Linux distributions)
* Adjust autologins
* postmarketos-base: enable wheel group for sudo, removed previous sudoers file
* Implement safe upgrade path:
We save the version of the work folder format now, in $WORK/version.
When this file does not exist, it defaults to 0.
In case it does not match the currently required version
(pmb.config.work_version), then ask the user if it should
automatically be upgraded.
Previously, distutils.version.LooseVersion was used, because it was
sort of close enough to how Alpine parses versions.
This new version uses the exact same algorithm, as `apk` does, and
it passes *all* of `apk`'s testcases for version checking (previously
we simply skipped the ones, that did not pass).
* Remove pmb/helpers/version.py left-over (it is in parse now)
* Make asserts consistent, do not use unnecessary parenthesis
Changes:
* Removed the apkindex_files cache. That particular cache caused
bug #189 and didn't bring any real-world performance improvements
(tested 3x with that cache and 3x without, no significant speed
difference). I decided to remove it instead of keeping it/adding
even more code to resolve the bug.
* Fix the check for already built packages: always use the architecture,
that the package should be built for instead of the architecture of
the build environment (e.g. use armhf, even when building a noarch
package in the x86_64 chroot). This partially resolves#341.
* Make pmb.chroot.apk.install_is_necessary() more robust: If the binary
package is missing, although it should be there, print a warning and
build it with force.
This is important for the binary repository scripts, so it's feasible
to test the binary package build and challenge process locally without
setting up a new chroot whenever changing the repo URLs.
Also it behaves a bit more intuitively, because it really uses the
repo URL specified on the commandline, even when the chroot is already
set up.
TLDR: Always rebuild/install packages when something changed when executing "pmbootstrap install/initfs/flash", more speed in dependency resolution.
---
pmbootstrap has already gotten some support for "timestamp based rebuilds", which modifies the logic for when packages should be rebuilt. It doesn't only consider packages outdated with old pkgver/pkgrel combinations, but also packages, where a source file has a newer timestamp, than the built package has.
I've found out, that this can lead to more rebuilds than expected. For example, when you check out the pmbootstrap git repository again into another folder, although you have already built packages. Then all files have the timestamp of the checkout, and the packages will appear to be outdated. While this is not largely a concern now, this will become a problem once we have a binary package repository, because then the packages from the binary repo will always seem to be outdated, if you just freshly checked out the repository.
To combat this, git gets asked if the files from the aport we're looking at are in sync with upstream, or not. Only when the files are not in sync with upstream and the timestamps of the sources are newer, a rebuild gets triggered from now on.
In case this logic should fail, I've added an option during "pmbootstrap init" where you can enable or disable the "timestamp based rebuilds" option.
In addition to that, this commit also works on fixing #120: packages do not get updated in "pmbootstrap install" after they have been rebuilt. For this to work, we specify all packages explicitly for abuild, instead of letting abuild do the resolving. This feature will also work with the "timestamp based rebuilds".
This commit also fixes the working_dir argument in pmb.helpers.run.user, which was simply ignored before.
Finally, the performance of the dependency resolution is faster again (when compared to the current version in master), because the parsed apkbuilds and finding the aport by pkgname gets cached during one pmbootstrap call (in args.cache, which also makes it easy to put fake data there in testcases).
The new dependency resolution code can output lots of verbose messages for debugging by specifying the `-v` parameter. The meaning of that changed, it used to output the file names where log messages come from, but no one seemed to use that anyway.
