Add initial support for the on-device installer in pmbootstrap. Let
pmbootstrap create a regular split image, then prepare a new installer
rootfs and copy the previously generated rootfs image into the installer
rootfs. Put the installer rootfs into a new image, with reserved space.
There is more to do from here, such as disabling the generation of the
user account when using --ondev. But this requires support in
postmarketos-ondev first, so let's build that iteratively.

Move code that prints flashing information from install_system_image()
to its own function. For the on-device installer, we'll need to call
install_system_image() twice, without printing the flashing information
each time. While at it, add a "step" parameter.
Prepare for a future patch, that adds reserved space in MB, by changing
size_boot and size_root from bytes to MB everywhere. This is what we need
most of the time and allows to drop some /1024**2 statements.
Add a "split" argument to the function, instead of using "args.split"
directly. "args.split" is only defined when calling "pmbootstrap install",
but the next patch will add a code path that calls the function from
"pmbootstrap chroot".
Do not substract the estimated size of the home and boot directories
from the root directory size. While that would be the correct way if we
were able to get exact sizes, it isn't helpful with the very rough
estimates we are getting from pmb.helpers.other.folder_size. Replace
"calculate" wording with "estimate".
Copy from current pmaports master, so pmbootstrap doesn't complain about
missing deviceinfo_codename when parsing it. Right now pmbootstrap
doesn't complain about this, but with the next patch it will attempt to
parse the file.
This replaces the year from 1337 to 2012 too, but let's rather have it
slightly more maintainable than introducing a diff for a funny reference.
"Chassis" defines the what kind of device a device is. Currently the
following standardized types exist:
"desktop", "laptop", "convertible", "server", "tablet", "handset",
"watch", "embedded", "vm", "container"
This property is exposed by org.freedesktop.hostname1 (e.g.
openrc-settingsd) and can be used by applications for example to display
appropriate strings instead of "About this phone" for non-phone devices.
Migrate to workdir version 5 and move already built packages into the edge
channel subdir, for example:
$WORK/packages/x86_64/hello-world-1-r5.apk
to:
$WORK/packages/edge/x86_64/hello-world-1-r5.apk
The build.postmarketos.org code has already been adjusted to find built
packages in either directory structure.
Do not go through the pmb.chroot.init() code path when running
pmb.install.losetup.umount() inside pmb.chroot.shutdown(). This is not
necessary, as pmb.install.losetup.umount() only gets called if the
chroot is already initialized and /dev/loop-control is mounted inside
the chroot.
Not going through this code path is important for the upcoming workdir
migration patch. Without this fix, it will fail with the following if
running "pmbootstrap install" before the work migration:
ERROR: Could not figure out on which release channel the 'native' chroot is
Replace the call to this function with the almost identical
pmb.helpers.repo.apkindex_files(), so release channel related changes
only need to be done in one place.
Use mirrordir_pmos and mirrordir_alpine from channels.cfg to generate
the mirror URLs for postmarketOS and Alpine, which get written to
/etc/apk/repositories and which postmarketOS uses to download the
APKINDEX files.
Remove hardcoded "master" at the end of the postmarketOS mirror and use
mirrordir_pmos instead (which is "master" for the edge channel). Let the
postmarketOS mirror end in a '/' for consistency with the Alpine mirror
in pmb/config/__init__.py.
Remove obsolete --alpine-version. To experiment with a different Alpine
version, one should pass a custom --config-channels from now on.
Don't generate the postmarketOS mirror URLs here, let the urls()
function do it. A follow-up commit will touch this code, hence it's
important to have it de-duplicated.
Ask for release channel and switch pmaports branch to the related branch
defined in channels.cfg.
Store in pmbootstrap.cfg whether the user chose a channel (boolean). If
the user did not choose a channel yet, suggest the recommended channel
from channels.cfg (currently "edge").
Do not make the parsed pmaports.cfg from pmaports.git available as
args.pmaports anymore. This de-bloats the args variable a bit.
First I thought that we didn't even need to cache it, but it was pointed
out that later patches do access it frequently to read the current channel
from pmaports.cfg. Therefore it is using a cache now.

New pmaports.cfg has the "channel" key described in [1]. This will be
used in "pmbootstrap init" to determine on which release channel a
forked branch is.

Prepare to base postmarketOS on Alpine stable by parsing the new
channels.cfg file in pmaports.git, that describes which channel
needs which branches and mirror dirs from postmarketOS and Alpine.
Use the information in pmb.helpers.git.get_branches_official() first,
more is coming in follow-up commits.
Read the file from origin/master, so we get the latest fetched version
even if the last checked out master branch is not up-to-date (think of
currently checked out release branch instead of master, master will
never be updated to point to latest origin/master). Allow to override
the file with a new --config-channels parameter.

Most device ports that are added to pmaports (particularly the testing
category) are not actually "maintained". Many of them are never updated
after the initial contribution. There is little reason to list a
"Maintainer:" if the device package is actually not actively maintained
by that person.
Let's stop generating the Maintainer: line by default.
Instead, contributors should add the lines themselves if they are willing
to (actively) maintain the device package for a longer period of time.
Once they no longer want to maintain the package, the Maintainer:
line should be removed again.
Let apkbuild-lint check options again, and pass the pmbootstrap specific
options with the new CUSTOM_VALID_OPTIONS variable. Add a test case and
adjust pmb.helpers.lint.check to return the output of apkbuild-lint, so
we can properly test it.
