Currently when you run 'pmbootstrap aportgen --fork $package' on v20.05
branch, the Alpine 3.12-stable branch gets checked out. But running
'pmbootstrap pull' afterwards means that the branch doesn't get updated
because that branch isn't accepted by the pull code.
Add 3.12-stable and a couple of releases afterwards to the accepted
branches for aports_upstream.
Some Mediatek devices have a special 512-byte header around the zImage
which must be generated so the device boots.
Support for that exists for a while in postmarketOS but detection was
missing. Add that.
Do not fail in "pmbootstrap setup" if a keymap was selected, but no
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d path exists in the rootfs chroot. The grep output
is not empty in that case (it would be empty if the directory exists and
there are no matches), so we need to add this extra check:
(rootfs_nokia-n900) % grep -rl XkbLayout /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
grep: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/: No such file or directory
This test is failing with Alpine edge, because x86_64 has a different
rustc version than armv7:
found crate `std` compiled by an incompatible version of rustc
Run the test with the latest Alpine stable version instead, where it is
more likely that rustc has the same version across all arches.
Replace dl-cdn mirror with dl-2 temporarily to avoid "BAD signature"
errors.
This is related to the rebuild of Alpine edge x86, armhf, armv7 packages
against musl-1.2, that is currently going on. The packages are rebuilt
without a version change and therefore have the same resulting file
name, but a different checksum. Due to caching of the CDN and due to the
same file name, users may get an old package from before the rebuild.
The APKINDEX has a checksum of the new package, and so the download will
fail with a "BAD signature" error.
Alpine developers clear the cache every now and then, but this issue
will happen over and over again, until all packages are rebuilt (some
packages are still not rebuilt and have been disabled).
Let's switch back in two months or so.
Before this fix tab completion of names with hyphens were not done:
try for example to complete UI package name in 'pmbootstrap init' with
hyphen, like "plasma-mobile" / "plasma-desktop". Now this is handled
correctly (hyphen is not considered as delimeter).
Let UI meta-packages specify apps in "pmb_recommends" to be explicitly
installed by default, and not implicitly as dependency of the UI
meta-package ("depends"). Therefore make these apps uninstallable,
without removing the meta-package.
Add pmbootstrap install --no-recommends to disable this feature.
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.
This is likely to fail with the new default cryptsetup cipher of
aes-xts-plain64, as many downstream kernels used in recovery OS (like
TWRP) do not have CRYPTO_XTS set.
Put a minimum version check for postmarketos-ondev in the pmbootstrap
install code and verify it before starting the installation. This avoids
using incompatible versions, similar to the pmaports.cfg version check
we already have. Set the minimum required version to 0.2.0.
Do not pass the arguments to ondev-prepare as command-line arguments in
a specific order, but instead as environment variables. New arguments
will be added in a follow-up patch.
Checkout the aports.git branch for the current channel (e.g.
3.12-stable), before trying to find the APKBUILD.
I had tried to auto-unshallow the git repository earlier, but then the
tags were missing. I decided that it's not worth to provide a migration
path: "pmbootstrap aportgen" is only used by few advanced users (to
maintain the pmaports repo).
This made sense for Alpine's aports.git repository as we were only using
the master branch. But now that we are using more branches, we need the
entire git repository with all its branches cloned.
Add the Alpine mirrordir (e.g. "edge", "v3.12") to the distfile, so
musl-*.apk files of the same version and arch but from different
mirrordirs do not collide.
Let "abuild checksum" download these apks and generate the checksums,
instead of letting apk download them as side-effect of initializing
foreign arch chroots. The latter did not work anymore, because we would
copy the apk file with a glob that may matches the hash of either mirrordir.
Essentially:
glob.glob(f"{args.work}/cache_apk_{arch}/{subpkgname}-{version}.*.apk")[0]
In the context of the on-device installer, I found that calculating this
hash is not trivial, so let's just avoid it here as well.
While at it, order the imports of musl.py alphabetically.
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.
