Rust packaging is new and still a bit weird in Alpine and postmarketOS.
As of writing, we only have one package (squeekboard), and use cargo to
download the source of all dependencies at build time (several git
repositories!) and compile it. Usually, this is a no-go, but at least
until this is resolved properly, let's cache the downloads as suggested
in: https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/guide/cargo-home.html

Adjust to new text that "file" outputs for ARM linux kernels:

Make test_bootimg_kernel pass again, which was failing with:
AssertionError: assert 'heimdall-isorec' in 'File is not an Android ...
Properly ignore comments at the end of lines, instead of assuming that
all lines below belong to the attribute:
subpackages="$pkgname-dev" # $pkgname-lang
Fixes build.postmarketos.org#61, where pmbootstrap would assume that a
random package provides "make", just because the word "make" is written
somewhere below subpackages=" in the APKBUILD and it is parsed
incorrectly.
While at it, also support the ' character for quotations and detect if
a quotation for a value was started, but there is no end quotation sign
in the rest of the file.
I've added tests, and manually checked that this did not introduce any
parsing bugs for all the APKBUILDs in pmaports.git, by running
'pmbootstrap apkbuild_parse' with the old and new code, and diffing the
result.
postmarketOS/pmaports!700 adds a new "deviceinfo_bootimg_dtb_second"
option that places the DTB in the "second" area of the Android boot
image.
Attempt to detect this automatically by checking the extracted
second binary for the FDT magic (0xd00dfeed).
mkbootimg from osm0sis changed the filename of the dtb section in [1]
which breaks the detection of qcdt in pmbootstrap.
Fix this by adjusting the filename pmbootstrap checks to match the
unpackbootimg behavior.

Linking big libraries may take more than five minutes, so change the

This is the same value that I'm using to build binary packages for the

Pushing directly to master without making a merge request, because this
is a trivial change.
The important part about this patch is the change for armhf, which
adjusts the hostspec to the one used by Alpine.
Fixes a part of postmarketOS/pmaports#363
This MR add the --fork-alpine argument to the pmboostrap aportgen
command, which downloads the APKBUILD and related files and copies them
into the pmaports/temp folder.
This allows for example for me to call the kconfig check function on the
.config file in my Linux tree: $ pmbootstrap kconfig check --file
.config and it reports me which kconfig options I need to enable.
Properly handle the following two cases in APKBUILDs:
* depends="$depends ..."
* depends="${depends} ..."
First I've attempted to refactor the parsing code to do this in a more
generic way. But I've realized that it would make more sense to retire
the python based APKBUILD parsing approach altogether and finally use a
shell script parser. Let's discuss this in #1801.
Add check for UEVENT_HELPER for kernels >= 4.0.0. Change LBDAF check to
be only required for kernels <5.2.0. Adjust the config format and
checking code to support such range specific checks.
Compare a version against a check string. This will be used in
"pmbootstrap kconfig check", to only require certain options if the
pkgver is in a specified range.
Download all sources and verify their checksums.
This will be used in pmaports.git CI, if ci:skip-build is set in the
commit message (currently it just skips the build, and we don't test if
the source checksums are valid or not).
Launch native cross compilers inside foreign chroot. Enable by default,
but allow disabling with --no-crossdirect for now. This option and the
distcc-sshd related code will be removed in the future.
Aborts the build if any dependencies would have to be build first. This
is useful for build.postmarketos.org, because we want to build exactly
one package in one build job. If dependencies would need to be built, we
made a mistake earlier, and not aborting the build makes it harder to
find that orginal mistake.
Ignore APKBUILDs that have "!pmb:kconfigcheck" in their options by
default in "pmbootstrap kconfig check", but print a note that they have
been skipped. Check all kernels with "pmbootstrap kconfig check -f".
This is necessary, because the Librem 5 devboard kernel's config does
not have CONFIG_DM_CRYPT enabled in their config, and we check for
that. As the device is still under heavy development, we will make our
lives easier by just using the upstream kernel config without any
changes and ignoring it in our check by default.
Provides a quick way to incrementally compile a kernel and push it to
device.
Example usage.
Compile the kernel:
$ cd /src/linux/
$ source /src/pmbootstrap/helpers/envkernel.sh
$ make tegra_postmarketos_defconfig
$ make -jX
Package kernel and flash to device:
$ pmbootstrap build --envkernel linux-samsung-p4wifi
$ pmbootstrap flasher flash_kernel
Modify kernel source then incremental compile, package, and flash:
$ make -jX
$ pmbootstrap build --envkernel linux-samsung-p4wifi
$ pmbootstrap flasher flash_kernel
Test with flake8: *.py
./test/check_checksums.py:13:13: E117 over-indented
./pmb/config/init.py:97:8: F632 use ==/!= to compare str, bytes, and int literals
./pmb/parse/arguments.py:229:13: E117 over-indented
Allow changing the kernel partition for fastboot and heimdall in
deviceinfo and on the fly while doing "pmbootstrap flasher
flash_kernel". Also allow changing the partition for
"... flash_rootfs" with fastboot (this was only possible with
heimdall so far).
Introduce two new deviceinfo variables:
* flash_fastboot_partition_kernel
* flash_fastboot_partition_system
This is useful for devices with dual partitioning that have boot_a
and boot_b.
Python < 3.6 randomized the order of keys in dictionaries, unless
OrderedDict was used. Use OrderedDict to store the version suffixes.
When the order was randomized, the valid version string 3.0.0_pre1 did
not always pass the validation check. The suffix "pre" should always be
detected as such, but with the random order, it was sometimes detected
as "p" suffix (see below). The following letters "re" are not a valid
suffix_no (the number expected to follow the suffix) and so it failed.
suffixes = {
"pre": ["pre", ...],
"post": ["p". ...]
}
Display the resolved deviceinfo file path in exceptions from the
deviceinfo parser. Instead of messages like these:
RuntimeError: Please add 'deviceinfo_codename="lg-mako"' to: /home/user/.local/var/pmbootstrap/cache_git/pmaports/.gitlab-ci/testcases/../../device/device-lg-mako/deviceinfo
We get the more readable version:
RuntimeError: Please add 'deviceinfo_codename="lg-mako"' to: /home/user/.local/var/pmbootstrap/cache_git/pmaports/device/device-lg-mako/deviceinfo
deviceinfo_codneame holds the device's code name, so we can easily look
it up in the finished postmarketOS installation by reading
/etc/deviceinfo.

Properly replace ~ with $HOME in all paths. Fix tab completion when
passing a path starting with ~ to pmaports:
$ pmbootstrap --aports ~/src/pmaports/ build linux-<TAB>
Make tab completion work again for packages, if the default pmaports
dir is used. In the last "args" code refactor, the variable replacing
code was moved into its own function. We did not call it in the
packagecompleter() yet, so it could not replace the $WORK variable in
the default pmaports path.
Show all config keys that can be queried and set in the
'pmbootstrap config -h' output and make tab completion work for the
key names.
I've set "metavar" and placed the variables in the helpstring. That
way, argparse will not generate a huge "positional arguments" string
that blows up the layout of the help output:
[{ccache_size,device,extra_packages,hostname,jobs,kernel,keymap,...
Multiple -mp arguments can be used to list multiple mirrors:
$ pmbootstrap -mp=first -mp=second chroot -- cat /etc/apk/repositories
This is needed for the new build infrastructure, so we can have a WIP
repository to which we push packages until all of them are up to date,
and then publish all of them at once. Software like KDE/Plasma Mobile,
which expect a lot of packages to be updated from one version to
another will not end up with a half-way through upgrade that way.
-m is the Alpine mirror, -mp is the postmarketOS mirror. Use "URL" as
metavar and add help text that explains how to disable the postmarketOS
mirror (so all pmaports get built locally).
Add a new action that lists all aports, for which no binary packages
exist. Only list packages that can be built for the relevant arch
(specified with --arch). This works recursively: when a package can be
built for a certain arch, but one of its dependencies
(or their depends) can not be built for that arch, then don't list it.
This action will be used for the new sr.ht based build infrastructure,
to figure out which packages need to be built ahead of time (so we can
trigger each of them as single build job). Determining the order of the
packages to be built is not determined with pmbootstrap, the serverside
code of build.postmarketos.org takes care of that.
For testing purposes, a single package can also be specified and the
action will list if it can be built for that arch with its
dependencies, and what needs to be built exactly.
Add pmb/helpers/package.py to hold functions that work on both pmaports
and (binary package) repos - in contrary to the existing
pmb/helpers/pmaports.py (see previous commit) and pmb/helpers/repo.py,
which only work with one of those.
Refactoring:
* pmb/helpers/pmaports.py: add a get_list() function, which lists all
aports and use it instead of writing the same glob loop over and over
* add pmb.helpers.pmaports.get(), which finds an APKBUILD and parses it
in one step.
* rename pmb.build._package.check_arch to ...check_arch_abort to
distinguish it from the other check_arch function
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.
Overview:
In order to execute foreign arch binaries on the host system, we are
using the Linux kernel's binfmt_misc feature in combination with
static builds of QEMU. Before this patch, the statically compiled
QEMU binaries were taken from Debian (mostly because I did not realize
that Alpine ships them as well). Now we can use the ones from the aport.
Benefits:
This allows us to easily update and patch the QEMU executables, we
don't need to be in sync with Debian's versions anymore.
Alpine's package is more modular, so we can save some download,
install, zap time, as well as disk space: setting up an armhf chroot
with pmbootstrap took ~102 MB before, now it's ~18 MB.
Detailed changes:
* Remove `cross/qemu-user-static-repack` aport
* Add `data/qemu-user-binfmt.txt` with the binfmt_misc flags for ELF
binaries of various arches (extracted from Debian's packaging)
* When parsing that file, don't write verbose messages to
`pmbootstrap log` anymore, only to the verbose log (can be enabled
with `pmbootstrap -v`)
* Rename `pmb.parse.arch.alpine_to_debian()` to ...`alpine_to_qemu()`
* Rename `arch_debian` to `arch_qemu`
With this patch, "pmbootstrap flasher" will fail with "the following
arguments are required: action_flasher". Without it, it just prints
"Done" and quits.
Overview:
Since Alpine updated to distcc 3.3 last week, pmbootstrap wasn't able to use
distcc for cross compilation anymore. It always falled back to running the
compiler in QEMU (which works, but is a lot slower). The reason for that is,
that distcc requires all compilers that are being used in a whitelist now.
This partially fixes CVE-2004-2687 in distccd, which allowed trivial remote
code execution by any process connecting to the distccd server. We only run
distccd on localhost, but still this can be used for privilege escalation of
sandboxed processes running on the host system (not part of pmbootstrap
chroots).
Because the CVE is only partially fixed (see the comment in
`pmb/chroot/distccd.py` for details), we make sure that only the building
chroots can talk to the distcc server by running distcc over ssh.
Details:
* Completely refactored `pmb/chroot/distccd.py` to run distcc over ssh
* Store the running distcc server's arguments as JSON now, not as INI
* Make debugging distcc issues easy:
* Set DISTCC_BACKOFF_PERIOD=0, so the distcc client will not ignore the
server after errors happened (this masks the original error!)
* New pmbootstrap parameters:
* `--distcc-nofallback`: avoids falling back to compiling with QEMU and not
throwing an error
* `--ccache-disable`: avoid ccache (when the compiler output is cached,
distcc does not get used)
* `--verbose` prints verbose output of the distcc too
* New test case, that uses the new pmbootstrap parameters to force
compilation through distcc, and shows the output of distcc and distccd in
verbose mode on error (as well as the log of sshd)
Follow-up to !1373, where `pmbootstrap flasher flash_system` was
replaced with `pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs`. We still had used
terms like "system partition" in a lot of places.
This commit replaces it everywhere, so it's clear that we're talking
about the pmOS rootfs (which may or may not be installed to Android's
system partition).
We are analyzing the `boot.img` with `file` before we send it to
`unpackbootimg`. File does not recognize all kinds of `boot.img` files,
which `unpackbootimg` can extract, so we need a way to skip this check.
Details:
* Add `-f` parameter, continues extraction with a warning if the file
seems to be invalid
* Tell the user that `-f` can be used if the `boot.img` is invalid and
it's not specified
* Consistent spelling of `boot.img` instead of `bootimg` in messages
Fixes#1608
* change "pmbootstrap kconfig_check" to "pmbootstrap kconfig check"
* change "pmbootstrap menuconfig" to "pmbootstrap kconfig edit [-x|-g]"
(with legacy alias, because the first syntax was referenced to a lot)
* enable X11 interfaces: -x: xconfig, -g: gconfig
* new function to copy the xauthority file:
pmb.chroot.other.copy_xauthority()
* remove menufconfig() function from the kernel template and all kernel
aports ([skip ci] because it would rebuild all kernels and run out of
time). Alpine has dropped this as well, and it wouldn't work with the
new code anyway.
* Usage: pmbootstrap install --split
* Make obvious that export is the next step when split images are created
* Fix note for missing rootfs image on export
* Change wording from "system image" to "rootfs image"
* The idea was to show the note only when the rootfs image was not
generated yet. But this was broken, because the path we checked for
was missing the chroot path prefix (which is added now).
* Also don't display the message, when the split image files exist
The `msm-fb-refresher` updates the screen for msm based devices. It is
not needed for all devices, so we had some extra code in the initramfs,
that would only add it when the `deviceinfo_msm_refresher` variable was
set. However, we are able now to add files to initramfs hooks, so this
hack can be removed and simplify everything.
Changes:
* Remove `deviceinfo_msm_refresher` from all deviceinfos
* Add sanity check for it
* Move all `deviceinfo` sanity checks to an extra function
* `postmarketos-mkinitfs`: remove code for msm refresher
* `msm-fb-refresher`: add initramfs hook
Changes:
* `helpers/envkernel.sh`:
* installs everything needed for kernel compilation in the native
chroot
* mounts the kernel source to `/mnt/linux` inside the chroot
* creates `/mnt/linux/.output` and chowns it to the `pmos` user, that
folder will be used for the kernel build output
* sets up aliases for `make`, `pmbootstrap`, `pmbroot`, `kernelroot`
* new action `pmbootstrap work_migrate`: does the interactive work
folder migration if necessary, otherwise it doesn't output anything
* when calling this first, we can safely use all other commands
non-interactively without showing the output
Benefits:
* Fast setup (especially for people who are new to kernel
compilation
* No need to figure out distribution specific package names
(cross compilers!)
* No need to do a test build just to verify that the right
packages are installed
* Less error prone
* The right dependencies are always installed
* `ARCH` and `CROSS_COMPILE` variables always get set automatically
and based on `deviceinfo_arch`
* If the build environment is broken for some reason, just zap and
start over
* Easy to reproduce problems
Notes:
* `make menuconfig` works as well
* Sourcing was tested with `zsh`, `bash` and `fish`, it should be easy to
extend for other shells
* As discussed in IRC/matrix, we're removing `linux-postmarketos-lts`
for now. The kernel isn't used right now, and we save lots of
maintenance effort with not updating it every week or so.
* new config option `"kernel"` with possible values:
`"downstream", "mainline", "stable"` (downstream is always
`linux-$devicename`)
* ask for the kernel during `pmbootstrap init` if the device package
has kernel subpackages and install it in `_install.py`
* postmarketos-mkinitfs: display note instead of exit with error when
the `deviceinfo_dtb` file is missing (because we expect it to be
missing for downstream kernels)
* device-sony-amami:
* add kernel subpackages for downstream, mainline
* set `deviceinfo_dtb`
* device-qemu-amd64: add kernel subpackages for stable, lts, mainline
* test cases and test data for new functions
* test case that checks all aports for right usage of the feature:
* don't mix specifying kernels in depends *and* subpackages
* 1 kernel in depends is maximum
* kernel subpackages must have a valid name
* Test if devices packages reference at least one kernel
* Remove `_build_device_depends_note()` which informs the user that
`--ignore-depends` can be used with device packages to avoid building
the kernel. The idea was to make the transition easier after a change
we did months ago, and now the kernel doesn't always get built before
building the device package so it's not relevant anymore.
* pmb/chroot/other.py:
* Add autoinstall=True to kernel_flavors_installed(). When the flag
is set, the function makes sure that at least one kernel for the
device is installed.
* Remove kernel_flavor_autodetect() function, wherever it was used,
it has been replaced with kernel_flavors_installed()[0].
* pmb.helpers.frontend.py: remove code to install at least one kernel,
kernel_flavors_installed() takes care of that now.
* Change `pmbootstrap flasher flash_system` command to
`pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs`
* The old command still works, but all references have been changed to
the new command
* Remove obsolete `pmbootstrap flasher export` (that was changed to
`pmbootstrap export` a few months ago)
* Update `README.md` and ZSH auto completion
* Change the description of the generated rootfs image (not talking
about a system image anymore, mention that it has subpartitions)
* Better description of `pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs --partition`
When the native arch (e.g. `x86_64`) `APKINDEX` files are outdated, and
`pmbootstrap` gets instructed to build a linux package for a foreign
arch, then the `APKINDEX` cache did not get used anymore for the
current session. This means that every lookup of a package in an
`APKINDEX` caused the whole `APKINDEX` file to get parsed again instead
of using the cached version. This slowed it down so much that it felt
like `pmbootstrap` was looping forever.
How this happens in detail:
* Whenever pmbootstrap parses an `APKINDEX`, it fills up the
`args.cache["apkindex"]` dict with the parsed information and the
last modified date of the file.
* `pmbootstrap` checks the last modified date of the `APKINDEX` files
and updates them if they are older than 4 hours.
* When the bug appeared, then the cache was already filled up, then an
update happened and then `pmbootstrap` tried to read from the cache.
* So when reading from the `APKINDEX`, the cache gets ignored because
the last modified date is different.
* Up to this commit, the cache does not get deleted and filled up
again!
How to test:
Try these commands once without this commit, and then with this commit
applied:
```
$ sudo touch -m -t 201801010000 \
~/.local/var/pmbootstrap/cache_apk_x86_64/APKINDEX.*
$ pmbootstrap -v build linux-postmarketos-mainline --arch=armhf
```
Without the patch, you can see in `pmbootstrap log` that it is
resolving the dependencies properly, but very slowly. With the patch
the resolving happens almost instantly.
When parsing the depends of entries in the APKINDEX file, we ignore
all operators (<, =, >). (This is enough for our use case, was we only
do the dependency resolving to check which packages need to be built
and `apk` does the dependency resolving again before installing
anything).
We did not ignore the ~ character for fuzzy version compares, this is
fixed with this commit.
* pmbootstrap newapkbuild: Properly parse arguments
The `pmbootstrap newapkbuild` action wraps Alpine's `newapkbuild`. We
used to directly pass all arguments to `newapkbuild` without verifying
in Python whether they make sense or not. However, as `newpakbuild`
doesn't do strict sanity checks on the arguments, it is easy to end up
with unexpected behavior when using the command for the first time.
For example, `newapkbuild` allows either specifying a PKGNAME or SRCURL
as last parameter, and also allows setting a PKGNAME with the `-n`
parameter. It only makes sense to use that option when passing a
SRCURL.
With this commit, we duplicate the optins that should be passed through
to `newapkbuild` and use argparse to fully sanitize the options and
display a help page (`pmbootstrap newapkbuild -h`) that is consistent
with the other help pages.
Details:
* The `-f` (force) flag does not get passed through anymore. Instead we
use it in Python to skip asking if an existing aport should be
overwritten (the aports are outside of the chroot, so `newapkbuild`
can't handle it in a way that makes sense for pmbootstrap).
* Output of `newapkbuild` gets redirected to the log file now, as we
don't need it to display a help page.
* Don't verify the pkgver while creating the new APKBUILD. When passing
a SRCURL, the pkgver gets extracted from the end of the URL and may
not have a valid format yet (but we want the APKBUILD anyway).
* Stored options passed through in `pmb/config/__init__.py` and use it
in both `pmb/parse/arguments.py` and `pmb/helpers/frontend.py`.
* Only allow `-n` with SRCURL
* The postmarketOS aports folder gets specified with `--folder` now.
That way the generated help page is much closer to the original one
from `newapkbuild`. The default is `main`.
* Made the package type flags (CMake, autotools, ...) exclusive so only
one of them can be specified
In order to get cross-compilers, we generate a few aports (e.g.
binutils-armhf, gcc-armhf) automatically from Alpine's aports.
pmbootstrap was already able to perform a git checkout of Alpine's
aports repository. But it needed to be manually updated. Otherwise
the `pmbootstrap aportgen` command could actually downgrade the aport
instead of updating it to the current version.
After thinking about adding a dedicated pmbootstrap command for
updating git repositories, I thought it would be better to not open
that can of worms (pmbootstrap as general git wrapper? no thanks).
The solution implemented here compares the upstream aport version of
the git checkout of a certain package (e.g. gcc for gcc-armhf) with the
version in Alpine's binary package APKINDEX. When the aport version is
lower than the binary package version, it shows the user how to update
the git repository with just one command:
pmbootstrap chroot --add=git --user -- \
git -C /mnt/pmbootstrap-git/aports_upstream pull
Changes:
* `pmb.aportgen.core.get_upstream_aport()`: new function, that returns
the absolute path to the upstream aport on disk, after checking the
version of the aport against the binary package.
* Use that new function in pmb.aportgen.gcc and pmb.aportgen.binutils
* New function `pmb.helpers.repo.alpine_apkindex_path()`: updates the
APKINDEX if necessary and returns the absolute path to the APKINDEX.
This code was basically present already, but not as function, so now
we have a bit less overhead there.
* `pmbootstrap chroot`: new `--user` argument
* `pmb.parse.apkbuild`: make pkgname check optional, as it fails with
the official gcc APKBUILD before we modify it (the current APKBUILD
parser is not meant to be perfect, as this would require a full shell
parsing implementation).
* Extended `test_aportgen.py` and enabled it by default in
`testcases_fast.sh`. Previously it was disabled due to traffic
concerns (cloning the aports repo, but then again we do a full KDE
plasma mobile installation in Travis now, so that shouldn't matter
too much).
* `testcases_fast.sh`: With "test_aport_in_sync_with_git" removed
from the disabled-by-default list (left over from timestamp based
rebuilds), there were no more test cases disabled by default. I've
changed it, so now the qemu_running_processes test case is disabled,
and added an `--all` parameter to the script to disable no test
cases. Travis runs with the `--all` parameter while it's useful to
do a quick local test without `--all` in roughly 2 minutes instead of
10.
* `aports/cross/binutils-*`: Fix `_mirror` variable to point to current
default Alpine mirror (so the aportgen testcase runs through).
Since PR #1247 we are using the virtual package `.pmbootstrap` to mark
packages as not explcitly installed. In case `pmbootstrap` doesn't
finish the installation because of a bug, the `.pmbootstrap` virtual
package may not get uninstalled.
As virtual packages don't have the "timestamp" attribute set in the
package database (which indicates when the package was built), the
APKINDEX parser fails to parse them.
Changes:
* pmb.parse.apkindex.parse_next_block(): don't require the "timestamp"
attribute to be set (but the arch attribute instead, which is always
present)
* pmb.parse.apkindex.parse(): when a block does not have a `timestamp`
attribute, skip it, because it must be a virtual package.
* add test cases for both functions with a package database that
contains a virtual package.
`-m` is for deleting local compiled packages, for which there is no
aport with the same version. Prior to this change, this only worked
for packages where no aport exists, or for packages that are newer
than the aports.
That is, because we used the usual APKINDEX parsing logic, which
ignores old packages in the APKINDEX and only returns the one with the
highest version (that makes sense during dependency resolution).
Changes:
* New `pmb.parse.apkindex.parse_blocks()` function that returns a raw
list of blocks, instead of the dict with removed duplicates with
lower version you get from the usual `.parse()` function.
* Renamed each of the zap flags and their descriptions to make clear
what they are doing now.

Use case: `mkbootimg` provides the `unpackbootimg` package. When
running `pmb.chroot.apk.install(args,"unpackbootimg")`, it was not
able to properly build the package.
Reproducing the error:
```
sudo rm ~/.local/var/pmbootstrap/packages/x86_64/mkbootimg*
pmbootstrap index
pmbootstrap --mirror-pmOS="" chroot --add=unpackbootimg
```
Or alternatively (simpler but less illustrative):
```
pmbootstrap build unpackbootimg --force
```
### 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
Here are the changes necessary in pmbootstrap to make proprietary
software installed onto the device (firmware and userspace drivers)
optional (#756). To full close the issue, we need to apply this concept
to all device packages we already have in a follow-up PR.
Changes:
* New config file options nonfree_firmware and nonfree_userland, which
we ask for during "pmbootstrap init" if there are non-free components
for the selected device.
* We find that out by checking the APKBUILD's subpakages: The non-free
packages are called $pkgname-nonfree-firmware and
$pkgname-nonfree-userland.
* During "pmbootstrap init" we also show the pkgdesc of these
subpackages. Parsing that is implemented in
pmb.parse._apkbuild.subpkgdesc(). It was not implemented as part of
the regular APKBUILD parsing, as this would need a change in the
output format, and it is a lot *less* code if done like in this
commit.
* pmb/parse/apkbuild.py was renamed to _apkbuild.py, and
pmb/install/install.py to _install.py: needed to call the function in
the usual way (e.g. pmb.parse.apkbuild()) but still being able to
test the individual functions from these files in the test suite.
We did the same thing for pmb/build/_package.py already.
* Install: New function get_nonfree_packages() returns the non-free
packages that will be installed, based on the user's choice in
"pmbootstrap init" and on the subpackages the device has.
* Added test cases and test data (APKBUILDs) for all new code,
refactored test/test_questions.py to have multiple functions for
testing the various questions / question types from
"pmbootstrap init" instead of having it all in one big function.
This allows to use another aport folder for testing the new
non-free related questions in init.
The message appears 20 or so times in a row when setting up a new
chroot. Right now we log it into the debug log (which is what
"pmbootstrap log" and "pmbootstrap --details-to-stdout" show). This
is annoying for normal pmbootstrap usage, and really clutters up the
Travis output.
This commit changes the log level to verbose, so it only shows up
when "-v" is passed to pmbootstrap.
* 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.
* New "pmbootstrap build --src=/local/source/path hello-world" syntax
* The local source path gets mounted inside the chroot
* From there, a copy of the source code gets created with rsync (so
we can write into the source folder if necessary, for better
compatibility with all kinds of APKBUILDs)
* After the aport gets copied into the chroot before building (as
usually), we extend the APKBUILD with overrides to make it use
mountpoint's source instead of downloading the package's source
from the web as usually
* The package built with the local source gets _pYYYYMMDDHHMMSS
appended to the pkgver
* linux-postmarketos-mainline: use $builddir, fix patch checksum
The 'necessary_kconfig_options' dictionary in pmb/config/__init__.py
now has the different architectures (space separated) as the keys and
the dictionary, which matches kernel config options and their
expected value, as its value.
For that purpose, the 'check' function in pmb/parse/kconfig.py was
modified, so that it takes the architecture from the kconfig filename
and uses it to find the needed kernel config options.
Closes#1218.
Closes#441. Adjust bootimg_analyze code:
* Install mkbootimg (which now provides unpackbootimg) instead of
unpackbootimg. In theory, pmbootstrap should recognize this
automatically, however right now it does not yet handle this case.
* The file names of the extracted files have changed.
Follow up to #1162.
* `pmb.build.buildinfo()`: Used to record the build environment. It is
flawed because it scans the repo APKINDEX files instead of using the
actually installed packages list. When it was implemented we were not
able to do the latter. After this is removed, `pmb.parse.depends` can
be simplified (it needs to be rewritten for #1122).
* `pmb.helpers.repo.diff()` and `pmb.helpers.repo.files()`: These were
used exclusively by `pmb.build.buildinfo()`, to learn about which
files have been changed in the local repository folder after a
package was built. The idea was, that we could find subpackages that
way. But this information is present in the installed package list as
well, which is a much cleaner approach.
zap -m:
* APKINDEX parsing: parse the "origin" field as well, so we know
where a subpackage comes from
* pmbootstrap zap -m: properly delete all packages, that do not
have an aport or where the aport has another version. This also
works with subpackages now,
we use the origin field to resolve it.
* Only reindex when packages have been deleted in "zap -m"
zap in general:
* Show the amount of cleared up space after the deletion instead
of "Done"
* Print "Shutdown complete" to "pmbootstrap log" instead of stdout
(we need to call it twice during zap now to get the space
calculation right)
* Add `--dry` argument to `pmbootstrap zap` (this was very useful
for debugging) to list the packages/chroots that would get
deleted
* Roughly output the command that would get executed to delete
files, so it's obvious what's going on in --dry mode. (% rm ...)
If you want to build a package without changing the version number,
please use `--force` from now on. For example:
pmbootstrap build --force hello-world
Prior to this commit, changes were detected automatically (timestamp
based rebuilds). However, that feature does not work as expected with
the binary package repository we have now, and depending on how you use
git, it has never worked. Close#1167, close#1156, close#1023 and
close#985. This commit also mentions --force when a package is up to date,
but the user requested to build it.
Preparation for #1122.
* `pmb.parse.apkindex.parse()`, removed strict parameter: This used to raise
an exception when two entries in the apkindex provided the same package.
Turns out this is *not* invalid after all, two packages can provide the same
soname for example (e.g. libhybris, mesa-egl). In an APKINDEX, sonames are
listed as they were packages ("so:libjpeg.so.8" etc.).
* Remove `pmbootstrap challenge` leftover code from reproducible builds effort,
which was a dead end. This code uses the broken strict feature.
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.
Small improvements:
* Allow to specify multiple packages to `pmbootstrap parse_apkbuild`
* Specifying no package will parse all packages (like kconfig_check)
(also `parse_apkbuild`)
* JSON output is sorted of `parse_apkbuild`
* Make pkgver check optional, so we can disable it in the device wizard test case
* Parse_apk* -> apk*_parse
* Don't let the user mess with globs (disallow '*' in pkgname)
Fixes#893. Changes:
* New action: "pmbootstrap pkgrel_bump"
* pmbootstrap detects missing soname depends when trying to install
anyting, and suggests "pkgrel_bump --auto" to fix it
* Testcase test_soname_bump.py checks the pmOS binary package repo
for soname breakage, so we see it when CI runs for new PRs
* libsamsung-ipc: bump pkgrel because of soname bump
* Don't ask for the mesa driver when the Qemu arch is not the
native arch and always use swrast in that case
* qemu-vexpress: use LTS kernel
* qemu-aarch64: use drm-backend for weston
* Changed usb-shell behavior, it wait for some user action before continue booting
* Rename usb-shell to debug-shell and changed port to 23
* Add `20-debug-shell.sh` script to static code analysis
* Enable eth0 interface in initramfs (qemu)
* Add additional script to run a shell in order to be able to kill it from a telnet session
* Rename deviceinfo variable flash_methods to flash_method
* Update pmb.config.deviceinfo_attributes / add sanity check
* Add test case that parses all deviceinfo files
* ccache: Fix for distcc cross-compiling / various improvements
* Make ccache work when cross-compiling with distcc (fix#716)
* Allow to configure the ccache size in "pmbootstrap init"
* Moved ccache stats code from pmb/build/other.py to
pmb/helpers/frontend.py
* Grouped job count, ccache size and timestamp based rebuilds
together to "build options" and allow to skip them
* Sorted config options that had to be modified anyway
alphabetically
* Improve comment in arch-bin-masquerade APKBUILD
Fixes#955. Previously we did not look through all APKINDEXes while
looking for the package with a given name and the highest version.
This caused pmbootstrap to build packages even if they are in the
binary repo and up to date.
This is a follow-up to #935.
* fix regression #941: pmbootstrap doesn't automatically pick the
right architecture for building when none is specified
* remove obsolete --noarch-arch parameter
* 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)
* add my own build key
* enable the repo in the config
* update the README file
* Adjust testcase, that validates the keys and enable it in testcases_fast.sh
* Only save/load keys to/from the config file, which we ask for during
'pmbootstrap init', so the binary repo gets used even if a config file
already exists (this also removes a workaround, that deletes the work
folder path from the config dictionary before writing it)
* Download missing APKINDEX.tar.gz files with Python code, before
attempting to build packages (so we know which ones aleady exist in
the binary packages repository)
* Consider APKINDEX files older than 4 hours as outdated and download
them again (also in Python code)
* Provide 'pmbootstrap update' to force-update the APKINDEX files
* Travis: more logging output on failure
* Only allow keys from config_keys to be used by "pmbootstrap config"
The mesa driver, which ends up in the installation image, needs to be known
before the installation is done (in other words: when running the qemu action,
it is to late as the image has already been generated). That's why one can
choose the Qemu mesa driver in `pmbootstrap init` now:
```
Device [qemu-amd64]:
Which mesa driver do you prefer for your Qemu device? Only select something other
than the default if you are having graphical problems (such as glitches).
Mesa driver (dri-swrast/dri-virtio) [dri-virtio]:
```
It is still possible to select `dri-swrast`, because `dri-virtio` may not work
in all cases, and that way we could easily debug it or experiment with other
mesa drivers (e.g. the "vmware" one, which is supported by mesa and Qemu).
Other changes:
* `pmbootstrap qemu` accepts a `--display` variable now, which passes the value
directly to `qemu`'s `display` option. It defaults to `sdl,gl=on` (@PureTryOut
reported that to work best with plasma mobile on his PC). `--display` and
`--spice` (which is still working) are mutually exclusive.
* Removed obsolete telnet port pass-through: We only use the debug telnet port
since osk-sdl has been merged.
* Add show-cursor to the Qemu command line, so it shows a cursor in X11
* Refactored the spice code (`command_spice` only returns the spice command,
because it has all necessary information already) and the spice port can be
specified on the commandline now (previously it was hardcoded in one place and
then always looked up from there).
* Start comments with capital letters.
* Keep the log on the screen a bit shorter (e.g. Qemu command is written to the
"pmbootstrap log" anyway, so there's no need to display it again).
* linux-postmarketos-stable: Adjust kernel configs
x86_64, armhf: enable as modules:
CONFIG_DRM_VIRTIO_GPU, CONFIG_VIRTIO_PCI, CONFIG_VIRTIO_BALLOON
aarch64: all 3 options were already enabled as built-in (no change)
* Set '-vga virtio' for mesa-dri-virtio
* Add architecture argument for the buildroot chroot, defaults to device architecture
* Output pmbootstrap log file after failure to debug Travis failure
* Travis: disable timestamp based rebuilds
* apkindex:
* Also parse the architecture field
* symlink_noarch_package:
* Renamed to symlink_noarch_packages
* Always work on all packages (so we don't need to guess which
subpackages have been generated after a certain build)
* Get invoked when running 'pmbootstrap index'
* Use 'apk index' to generate one index, where the architecture
does not get rewritten (abuild does that by default, due to
Alpine's repos not having a 'noarch' folder and diverging from
that doesn't make things easier for us). That goes super fast,
and then we know which packages are noarch packages and can
create the symlinks.
* Made output less verbose:
* Use -q for 'apk index' when calling it directly (when it gets
called by abuild we can't control that)
* Output that the APKINDEXes get reindexed only to the 'pmbootstrap
log'.
* pmb.helpers.run: support running processes in background
* enable QXL driver support in the linux kernel configurations so
that we can also use SPICE to connect to the VM.
QXL is a paravirtual graphics driver with 2D support
The SPICE project aims to provide a complete open source solution for remote
access to virtual machines in a seamless way.
Both DRM_QXL and DRM_BOCHS are enabled as modules.
According to [1], on Linux guests, the qxl and bochs_drm kernel modules
must be loaded in order to gain a decent performance
* qemu: add new option --spice to connect to VM using a SPICE client
If specified, 'pmbootstrap qemu' will look for some SPICE client in the
user's PATH and run qemu using the QXL driver.
Currently supported spice clients are 'spicy' and 'remote-viewer' but
adding support for more clients can be easily done.
qemu with qxl support will run on port 8077/tcp, which doesn't belong to
any well-known service and represents 'PM' in decimal.

This happens currently, when a makedepend is invalid:
ERROR: UnboundLocalError: local variable 'pkgname' referenced before assignment
With this patch, you get the meaning full error that should have been printed instead:
ERROR: Could not find package 'invalid-package' in the aports folder and could not find it in any APKINDEX
This is a workaround for #429, until the iteration count can be
specified directly in cryptsetup.
* Add default iter-time option, and option to override
* set SHA1 default hash for luksFormat, add option to override
* [RX51] load omap-sham in initramfs for HW accel. sha1
* Check kernel config
* Allow specifying multiple kernel packages, and also no packages
which defaults to scanning all kernel configs (it is super fast
anyway)
* Add the check to Travis CI
* Adjust existing kernel configs, so they pass the kconfig_check.
(We've had to put in a lot of defaults in the aarch64
linux-postmarketos configs, that's why the diff is a bit unclean.)
* Increase modified kernel pkgrels
Contrary to abuild, pmbootstrap only installs makedepends, and
keeps the installed packages around - both hacks save lots of time.
However, they may introduce missing makedepends in the APKBUILDs,
that the authors of the APKBUILDs do not notice because it works
for them.
This PR adss a strict mode, which will always clean the chroots
before building a package, and also remove all installed dependencies
after the package was built. You can use the following syntax to
only zap once, but build many packages at once:
`pmbootstrap build --strict hello-world 0xffff heimdall`
It also builds dependencies properly without leaving makedepends
behind.
* moved export code to pmb/export and split it up
* added deprecation notice to "pmbootstrap flasher export"
* made "pmbootstrap export" work
* adjusted the "pmbootstrap flasher export" hints in the code
This adds a new option to `zap`: `-m / --mismatch-bins`
When set, any binary apks in the work directory packages folder will be
removed if their version differs from the version in the relevant
APKBUILD in aports.
* Don't specify pkgnames from "provides" as dependencies
Always use the regular pkgname. That way, we avoid listing all
kinds of so: files as dependencies (because Alpine automatically
adds them as depends= to the package database). This fixes building
weston, and reproducing the build with `pmbootstrap challenge`.
Additional changes.
* Clear the parsed APKINDEX cache for the current pmbootstrap
session after building a package
* Avoid rebuilding a package, in case it was already built due to
circular dependencies
* The system image size is now calculated as: root size - home size.
* New function in `pmb/helpers/other.py`: `folder_size()`, with a
testcase.
* Instead of copying everything to the system image folder, and
deleting the home folder afterwards, do not copy the home folder
in the first place.
* Added `pmbootstrap -s` to skip generating the initramfs for faster
debugging.
* Set the default value in the "are you sure, that your partition has
at least..." to "y", so we can run `yes '' | pmbootstrap install`
to make it run through the whole installation process.
* Increase full size to 120%, boot partition gets 15 MB free space now
* Implement command to retrieve and set configuration values
* qemu: show advice to use "pmbootstrap config"
* Allow "pmbootstrap config" without positional arguments (prints the full config)
* Check valid variable names
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
Thanks to Pablo Castellano and Martijn Braam!
In postmarketOS we are now able to generate system images with the
correct configuration so that they can boot already using qemu
This commit brings the `pmbootstrap qemu` action.
This command is very handy because you don't have to set all the
qemu parameters, pmbootstrap does it for you.
* device-qemu-vexpress: Added kernel command line according to wiki
* qemu: Added workaround for image writing permissions
* qemu: Added support to launch postmarketOS in a QEMU virtual machine
- Support for emulating these architectures in QEMU: arm, aarch64, x86_84
- Generate QEMU command correctly depending no guest architecture (arm/x86)
- Run QEMU in the same architecture as the host by default
- Refactoring in pmb.parse.arch and pmb.qemu.run
- Raise exception if DTB file or system image are not present
- Display more useful information when something fails (e.g. image not found)
- Run qemu version depending on arch (host or argument), not device configured
* device-qemu-amd64: set deviceinfo_kernel_cmdline to "PMOS_NO_OUTPUT_REDIRECT"
* qemu: added --memory argument to specific guest RAM
* device-qemu-amd64: adjusted deviceinfo_kernel_cmdline (console=tty1)
* Added /etc/network/interfaces for qemu-amd64
* qemu: Added KVM support if /dev/kvm if present
* Specify separate machines for architecture
* qemu: Check if QEMU is installed instead of crashing
* Added graphics driver to qemu-aarch64
- Use arm (as used in qemu) instead of armhf (used in Alpine)
- qemu argument is -dtb
- Follow same style to build the command + arguments
* qemu: Added SSH port redirection: ./pmbootstrap.py qemu -p 2222
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.
When this parameter is set, `args.logfd` (the log file descriptor)
gets set to `sys.stdout`, so all logging gets directly sent to the
active pmbootstrap session, and not to a log file.
This will be used for Travis jobs, because they get killed after
10 minutes without any output (and builds may take longer).
* Quote architecture in logging message for easier reading
* Added shortcut arguments for --rootfs, --buildroot and --suffix
* Simply remove beforehand link to nowhere if exists (fix#278)
Fixed crash when symlink already existed but pointed to a non-existing location
* Various improvements for 'pmbootstrap export' (Fix#232)
* Do not try to generate the system image, but print a notice that
it was not generated yet
* Display export path
* New default path: /tmp/postmarketOS-export (instead of current
working dir)
* Create the export folder, if it does not exist yet
* Prettier output in the export message
* Adjust export message in install for consistency
* postmarketos-splash: change arch from "all" to "noarch"
* lg-mako: use .tar.gz instead of .zip (because that's the reference
APKBUILD)
* #220: Allow specifying multiple packages for checksum, build,
aportgen
* #239: Add chroot shortcuts (--rootfs and --buildroot)
* Show chroot and command before entering chroot
* Ignore `>`, `<`, `=` and `!` operators, when they are specified in
the dependencies. This was the desired behavior before, but it was
not implemented correctly (so it wouldn't ignore them everywhere).
Of course the real fix would be to honor these operators like apk
does. But this isn't feasible right now, and it should work for
most, if not all, our use-cases. I have documented this in the wiki
under build internals and if we happen to need correct operator
handling, we should do it then.
Minor other changes:
* `pmbootstrap parse_apkindex`: support optional package parameter to
only show the parsed content for one package.
* Support building most python APKBUILDs by replacing ${pkgname#py-}
properly
I've done some refactoring while debugging #209.
* Unused file `pmb/build/crosscompiler.py` removed (that was a
left over from `_pmb_build_in_native_chroot` hack
* Do verbose logging in distccd, when `pmbootstrap --verbose` is
being invoked
* Restart distccd, when the commandline has changed (e.g. when the
currently running version was not verbose, and the new one is
verbose.) Prior to this change, it only got restarted, when the
architecture changed (so it did not allow changing the job count
on the fly for example).
* Insert missing whitespace in arguments help.
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.
...instead of running apk every time to get the list of installed
packages and their versions. The internal package database from
apk has the same format, as the extracted APKINDEX file (except
that it has more key-value pairs, which we ignore/do not need
right now). So the APKINDEX code has been extended to parse both
tar-packed APKINDEX files and regular text files in the APKINDEX
format.
This is required for #108, for a better detection of outdated
packages (because the internal package database saves the
package's timestamp, too). A nice benefit is, that this is faster
than calling apk every time and it doesn't fill up the log as much.
I've also used this improved function for determining the apk
version (for the outdated version check), and I've deleted
pmb.parse.other.package_split(), as it is not needed anymore.
* Minimum version: 2.7.2 (which fixes two CVEs)
* Check the minimum apk version before doing something with apk and
before entering the chroot manually (previously, it has just checked
the apk-tools-static version, which gets used to set up the chroot)
* Reword the message for an outdated APK version. Most likely it is
just the outdated http cache, instead of a man-in-the-middle attack.

* New commandline parameter --mirror-pmOS, where the binary repository
URL for postmarketOS can be specified (empty by default as of now,
this will be filled with the real URL once the repo works)
* Do not build packages, when they are in the binary repository and
the version of the package in the binary repository is up-to-date.
* Add a testcase for pmb.build.is_necessary().
When an APKINDEX contained a package with multiple versions,
pmbootstrap did not use the last version to determine if the
package is out of date (regression from af8c9fcf5b).
Previously, it was only possible to get information about one
package inside the APKINDEX at a time.
This is needed for #64 to verify the APKINDEX.
Please note, that this implementation is actually slower, than
the previous one. But the code is more readable and it makes
caching possible (which will speed up the APKINDEX massively,
especially for the buildinfo.json file generation!)
* The supported architectures are inside the config now
* Symlinks get created for that list of supported architectures now.
* During initialization, the architecture from the selected device
gets checked against the list of supported architectures. When
it is not included, a meaningful exception gets raised.
* the aportgen and (cross-compiler) build tests make use of the
new variable now (they had armhf and aarch64 hardcoded previously).
* Fix hardcoded `armhf` in pmb/aportgen/binutils.py
* Generate aports: `binutils-aarch64`, `musl-aarch64`, `gcc-aarch64`
* Distccd: Remember the cross-compiler architecture (currently armhf
or aarch64), that the current distccd is running as, and restart
distccd with the correct architecture, in case a different arch
is needed than what it is currently running as. (Depending on the
cross-compiler arch, the PATH variable gets adjusted before
starting distccd)
* Testcases: add aport generation for aarch64, add cross-compiling
to aarch64
* pmb/parse/arch.py: Add aarch64 to the mapping
* Two new functions for getting a list of files and their timestamps
in the repo, and diffing that information to get a list of changed
files: pmb.helpers.repo.files() and pmb.helpers.repo.diff().
(I've put it in the helpers folder, because it is not specific to
one chroot, but to all chroots at once.)
* pmbootstrap challenge (new command introduced a few commits back to
verify, that the contents of an APK file are deterministic) uses
these functions to a) support subpackages and b) optionally
output a list of changed files (this gets used in the pmbuilder
script, which lives outside of this repository).
This commit is progress for #64 again.
We have "lazy reproducible builds" now. What I mean by that is, that
the resulting "apk" archive is not fully reproducible, but all binaries
inside it are. This is necessary to kick-off the binary repo, which is
in turn required to get the testsuite going on Travis. Read #64 for more
information.
Usage:
```
pmbootstrap build hello-world --buildinfo
pmbootstrap challenge /tmp/path/to/hello-world-1-r2.apk
```
The "--buildinfo" parameter generates a "buildinfo.json", which contains
the versions of all dependencies. It is not very optimizied, so this
is a performance bottleneck and takes 10 seconds (which is quite much
considering that the hello-world package builds in less than a second).
This can be improved in the future, and then the buildinfo parameter
may become the default.
* allows to build/extract/list initramfs, add/del hook
* rebuild the initfs whenever running install or trying to flash/boot it
* flasher flash/boot: automatically set up a minimal rootfs with kernel and initfs,
if it does not exist yet
pmb.chroot.apk.installed() used to return only the explicitly installed
packages. This is not good enough for the initfs check functions (and
especially for the "lazy reproducible builds", from which branch this
commit was cherry picked).
This commit introduces more noise for the logfile - if this becomes
a problem, raise your voice in the issues tracker and we'll do something
about it.
(This commit also changes minor code styling in other files, I did
not run autopep8 last time, because flake8 didn't complain...)
...also increase the default line count to 30, so it's easier to
spot an error if you didn't have the log open when it happened.
This parameter also works for 'pmbootstrap log_distccd', for consistency.
