Increase pakage version and minimum required apk version. The latter
should be done with every new release from now on, so we always have a
recent version there. I've updated the pmbootstrep release checklist
accordingly: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Pmbootstrap_release
This drops the --apparent-size parameter when calculating the size
required for rootfs, which seemed to return a size that was too small
for some devices. This also includes specifying the number of inodes to
support when formatting rootfs.
Fixes#1717
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.
This allows embedding multiple firmware binaries into SD images.
Firmware images for most devices that require this functionality consist
mainly of u-boot, but some devices (e.g. librem5) have multiple firmware
images that need to be embedded in the SD image created by pmbootstrap.
This functionality uses two new deviceinfo parameters:
- deviceinfo_sd_embed_firmware: a comma-separated list of
binary:offset (where binary is under /usr/share/firmware)
- deviceinfo_sd_embed_firmware_step_size: The number of bytes for
each increment of the offset specified in the
deviceinfo_sd_embed_firmware (typically 1024 or 2048)
deviceinfo_write_uboot_spl has been obsoleted by these new parameters.
Rename pmb.helpers.devices.list() to
pmb.helpers.devices.list_codenames(). Python already has a list()
function, so we name our function to make the calls to the codenames
listing function inside pmb/helpers/devices.py less confusing.
This fixes list_apkbuilds which is dead code currently but is useful
for external software using pmbootstrap. It also adds list_deviceinfos
which does the same thing but for the deviceinfo data.
The plan is to add an API later, where both functions can be used.
APKBUILD should be indented with tabs not spaces.
This also resolves a bug which the replace_functions feature was always
trimming off the beginning of a line.
For example:
replace_functions = {"build": "return 0"}
would be formatted as "rn 0".
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". ...]
}
When there is already another kernel source path mounted then the old mount
should be removed. Otherwise the mount source will still be pointed at the
old kernel source.
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,...
Make it possible to point the pmaports dir to an existing repository
clone, while not having to give the --aports/-p parameter with every
command.
pmbootstrap --aports=/my/pmaports/path init
If the config file exists already, the dir can also be set with:
pmbootstrap config aports /my/pmaports/path
Clear the test blacklist for all tests, except for the QEMU test (which
runs on its own on a special runner). All other tests that were in the
blacklist, except for the aportgen test, had already been moved to
pmaports.git. Keeping them out of the blacklist makes it less confusing.
Now all tests are running in CI again.
test_aportgen.py fails because some test data is missing.
Make the test pass by fixing the test data with the following changes:
- Update testdata pmaports/cross/*
- Don't git ignore test/testdata/aportgen directory
- Add testdata aports/main/* from upstream Alpine Linux aports
Patch files in pmaports/cross/binutils-armhf were removed, as they are
not needed to test the pmbootstrap code.
Adds an optional deviceinfo variable, `deviceinfo_rootfs_image_sector_size`,
which specifies the logical sector size of the device's storage.
Some devices made after 2016 with UFS storage uses 4096 byte sectors
instead of the normal 512 bytes. The partition table in our rootfs
must match, otherwise the root filesystem won't mount on the device.
This change passes the sector size to `losetup` when creating the image
if the deviceinfo specifies it, so the image will have the correct
sector size.
If the deviceinfo doesn't specify the new option, the behaviour
is the same as previous versions of pmbootstrap.
Note that the sector size option only works on Linux 4.14 and above,
so pmbootstrap should be run on a >4.14 computer when installing to
devices with non-standard sector size.
To find if a device needs this parameter, run `fdisk -l` on the device.
If the output shows
`Note: sector size is 4096 (not 512)`
then add `deviceinfo_rootfs_image_sector_size="4096"` to the deviceinfo.
This is needed by the Pixel 3 XL (google-crosshatch) port.
See https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap/issues/1696.
Do not fail when an APKINDEX can not be downloaded, print a WARNING
instead. This matches, what apk does. Add a new allow_404 parameter to
pmb.helpers.http.download(), and use it in pmb.helpers.repo.update()
for downloading APKINDEX files. Cache the APKINDEX URLs that gave a 404
for the session, so we do not attempt to download these again.
This is needed for the new binary repository: the initial build is done
without existing APKINDEX files, so we must not fail in that case.
Change the cache format from args.cache["offline_msg_shown"] to
args.cache["pmb.helpers.repo.update"]["offline_msg_shown"]. This is in
preparation for saving more data in the cache of
pmb.helpers.repo.update in the next commit.
Do not fail anymore when attempting to start a new binary repository
build without any existing binary packages:
pmbootstrap -mp="" repo_missing
Find subpackages defined with subpackage functions:
subpackages="dev:mydevfunc"
Find provides defined with specific versions:
provides="mkbootimg=1.0.0"
Weston and Plasma Mobile might choose to draw on this virtual frame
buffer, just like it happened for the samsung-jflte. Disabling the
USE_VFB option fixed this, so let's make sure we don't have that option
enabled for any kernel.
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.
Obscure feature: it was possible to specify a local path as
--mirror-pmOS. It would then get mounted to /mnt/postmarketos-mirror
inside the chroot, and be specified as such in the generated
/etc/apk/repositories file.
I had used this once for some testing scripts, but I am sure nobody is
using this anymore. The same can be achieved with running a local http
server anyway:
<https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Installing_packages_on_a_running_phone>
Removing this makes it easier to support multiple postmarketOS mirrors
(next commit).
-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).
In pmb.helpers.package.get(), we are differentiating between packages
that do not exist at all, and packages that do not exist for the
specified architecture. Make sure to actuallyy download the foreign arch
APKINDEX files, before trying to find the packages in there. Otherwise
the "could not find aport, and could not find this package in any
APKINDEX" package would appear.
We ran into this when testing on sr.ht, because pmbootstrap runs on a
fresh install every time, where no old APKINDEX files are present
(which would work around the bug).
This was meant to be part of the previous commit already, and was
tested, but it was not submitted correctly. So here it is as separate
commit straight to master. It is trivial anyway.
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.
Target arch is the system the package will run on. Host arch is the
system the package is compiled on.
For example kernel packages can be compiled on host arch x86_64 and
intended to run on target arch armhf. A build is necessary check
against host arch will always return True. The correct way is to check if
the package needs to be built for target arch.
Do not try to build and install dependencies for the package's
architecture when compiling in the "native" mode. That mode is
described here in detail:
https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Build_internals#Cross-compile_types
This makes it possible to cross compile kernels again, which need to
be built with GCC6. We have switched to Alpine's GCC6 package, but it is
not available for armhf/aarch64 on edge yet, because Alpine's build bots
are stuck (right now armhf is not even listed):
