Currently, building with envkernel.sh entirely ignores the
makedepends listed in the kernel APKBUILD. Common dependencies
needed by most kernels are hardcoded in envkernel.sh.
However, some kernels may need extra dependencies either during
the build process or when the kernel is packaged.
Installing the makedepends when the build environment is initialized
is difficult because "source helpers/envkernel.sh" is not aware
of the exact kernel package that is going to be built later.
However, we can easily modify the packaging step
(i.e. pmbootstrap build --envkernel linux-...)
to install the required makedepends.
This fixes building "linux-postmarketos-qcom-msm8916" using envkernel,
since it requires "dtbTool" and "installkernel" to be installed when
the APKBUILD package() function is executed.
This file is used by the package browser frontend build by the alpine
developers. It uses the contents of the DESCRIPTION file to validate the
cache in the database.
This fixes regression from commits 0431a519 and 4daf9916.
pmbootstrap kconfig_edit raised an error while trying to checksum a package.

(Some?) Mediatek kernels don't have the kernel in the top-level

Adjust the menuconfig code to be able to work with that.
Download all sources and verify their checksums.
This will be used in pmaports.git CI, if ci:skip-build is set in the

the source checksums are valid or not).
abuild depends on the gcc binary in order to define a default CBUILD value.
When using an alternative gcc version (e.g. envkernel.sh with gcc6), the
gcc binary is not installed by the envkernel.sh script.
This change sets the CBUILD env variable so that abuild doesn't need to
depend on the gcc package.
Packages can add pmb:strict to their options to enable the --strict
mode. This can be used if packages need to get build in a clean chroot
or their make dependencies need to get removed.
Depend on new pmaports version, where crossdirect uses the native ccache
binary instead of going through the foreign arch ccache first and then
going through crossdirect.
Old:
ccache (foreign) -> crossdirect (native) -> gcc (native)
New:
crossdirect (native) -> ccache (native) -> gcc (native)
Set the PATH to the crossdirect binaries, and don't set CCACHE_PATH or
CCACHE_COMPILERCHECK from pmbootstrap anymore. crossdirect sets the
CCACHE_PATH to /native/usr/bin now, along with all other required
environment variables. CCACHE_COMPILERCHECK isn't necessary anymore,
because ccache will call gcc directly and therefore be able to use the
file's timestamp and size directly. Also passing that would not work
with the current crossdirect package.
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.
When a pmaport can not be built for the desired architecture, fall back
to the binary package (from postmarketOS or Alpine) if it exists. This
allows us to provide an updated version of mesa for arm arches, but
using Alpine's mesa package on x86* arches.
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
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):

Find the main package by assuming it is a prefix of the subpkgname. We
do that, because in some APKBUILDs the subpkgname="" variable gets
filled with a shell loop and the APKBUILD parser in pmbootstrap can't
parse this right. (Intentionally, we don't want to implement a full
shell parser.)
* aportgen: modify code to allow generating gcc6-armhf and other gcc6
cross compiler packages
* package: when 'gcc6' is in the depends of a package, and the cross
compiling mode is "native" (as we do it with kernels), install the
gcc6 cross compiler instead of the usual one (gcc8)
Related: pmaports#103
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)
Alpine's `abuild` will uninstall all dependencies by default, when a
package build fails.
Leaving this configuration unchanged leads to unexpected behavior with
pmbootstrap: when executing `pmbootstrap build --strict` and pressing
`^C` during the build, pmbootstrap will stop, but an `apk` process
will be started in the background to remove the dependency packages.
Running `pmbootstrap shutdown` at this time will not work, because the
`apk` process is still running.
With this commit, dependencies don't get cleaned up from the chroots.
* Travis and Coveralls badges
* aports: instead of <https://github.com/postmarketOS>, use
<https://postmarketos.org>
* References to full URLs to issues and pull requests replaced with
a hash and the number
* grsec check: simplify error message, remove link to github issue
(nobody is using that anymore anyway)
The linux APKBUILDs write the kernel config either to `$builddir`
(default from the template) or `$srcdir/build` (legacy, and I reverted
to that in #1556, which was not the proper fix for this regression).
With this commit, `pmbootstrap kconfig edit` is able to edit both
versions, and prints a note when the APKBUILD is still using the old
style.
* 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.
Building packages without git installed caused error messages from git
appearing on the screen, and I patched it upstream (see #1209).
However, this introduced a regression: when git *is* installed and the
aport folder *is not* part of a git repository (like we do it with
pmbootstrap), the build gets aborted now with git complaining that
the folder is not a valid git folder.
But the only case where this happens is, when abuild is trying to
include the git repositories' commit hash for the APKINDEX description.
This pmbootstrap commit hardcodes "postmarketOS" as APKINDEX
description, so it does not fail anymore.
As noted in commit 255c715624
`/var/cache/distfiles` is writable by everyone. It is supposed to be
writable only by `root` and by the `abuild` group (in which we put the
`pmos` user already for building packages).
Changes:
* `pmb.build.init()`: make `/var/cache/distfiles` writable only by
members of the `abuild` group (and root)
* Increase workfolder version to 2
* Add migration code that fixes the permissions for existing work
folders
* Refactor the migration code a bit to make this possible
* 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
## Introduction
In #1302 we noticed that `pmb.chroot.user()` does not escape commands
properly: When passing one string with spaces, it would pass them as
two strings to the chroot. The use case is passing a description with
a space inside to `newapkbuild` with `pmboostrap newapkbuild`.
This is not a security issue, as we don't pass strings from untrusted
input to this function.
## Functions for running commands in pmbootstrap
To put the rest of the description in context: We have four high level
functions that run commands:
* `pmb.helpers.run.user()`
* `pmb.helpers.run.root()`
* `pmb.chroot.root()`
* `pmb.chroot.user()`
In addition, one low level function that the others invoke:
* `pmb.helpers.run.core()`
## Flawed test case
The issue described above did not get detected for so long, because we
have a test case in place since day one, which verifies that all of the
functions above escape everything properly:
* `test/test_shell_escape.py`
So the test case ran a given command through all these functions, and
compared the result each time. However, `pmb.chroot.root()`
modified the command variable (passed by reference) and did the
escaping already, which means `pmb.chroot.user()` running directly
afterwards only returns the right output when *not* doing any escaping.
Without questioning the accuracy of the test case, I've escaped
commands and environment variables with `shlex.quote()` *before*
passing them to `pmb.chroot.user()`. In retrospective this does not
make sense at all and is reverted with this commit.
## Environment variables
By coincidence, we have only passed custom environment variables to
`pmb.chroot.user()`, never to the other high level functions. This only
worked, because we did not do any escaping and the passed line gets
executed as shell command:
```
$ MYENV=test echo test2
test 2
```
If it was properly escaped as one shell command:
```
$ 'MYENV=test echo test2'
sh: MYENV=test echo test2: not found
```
So doing that clearly doesn't work anymore. I have added a new `env`
parameter to `pmb.chroot.user()` (and to all other high level functions
for consistency), where environment variables can be passed as a
dictionary. Then the function knows what to do and we end up with
properly escaped commands and environment variables.
## Details
* Add new `env` parameter to all high level command execution functions
* New `pmb.helpers.run.flat_cmd()` function, that takes a command as
list and environment variables as dict, and creates a properly escaped
flat string from the input.
* Use that function for proper escaping in all high level exec funcs
* Don't escape commands *before* passing them to `pmb.chroot.user()`
* Describe parameters of the command execution functions
* `pmbootstrap -v` writes the exact command to the log that was
executed (in addition to the simplified form we always write down for
readability)
* `test_shell_escape.py`: verify that the command passed by reference
has not been modified, add a new test for strings with spaces, add
tests for new function `pmb.helpers.run.flat_cmd()`
* Remove obsolete commend in `pmb.chroot.distccd` about environment
variables, because we don't use any there anymore
* Add `TERM=xterm` to default environment variables in the chroot,
so running ncurses applications like `menuconfig` and `nano` works out of
the box
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
```
The `suffix` argument was not specified in chroot commands executed in
`pmb.build._package.override_source()`. Because of that, it was not
possible to use "build --src" when compiling in a non-native chroot,
for example:
```
$ pmbootstrap build hello-world --arch=armhf
...
(native) % rm /tmp/APKBUILD.append
rm: can't remove '/tmp/APKBUILD.append': No such file or directory
```
### 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
In case the user does not specify for which arch packages should be
built with `pmbootstrap build`, we detect it automatically.
Previous logic was, that if the APKBUILD's arch is "all" or "noarch",
then prefer the native arch, and otherwise use the first one in the
list of available arches.
New behavior is, that we also check if the list of possible arches
contains the native arch (and if that fails, the device arch). If that
is the case, we return the native/device arch instead of the first one
in the list.
### Use case
The arch from `gcc-armhf` and similar packages (as generated by
`pmbootstrap aportgen`) used to be "all", but is nowadays a specific
list of arches. This means, that after updating the `gcc-armhf` and
`gcc-aarch64` packages, and calling `pmbootstrap build gcc-armhf`,
it will try to build `gcc-armhf` for `aarch64` instead of the native
architecture, because that is the first one listed.
And since compiling to `aarch64` requires `gcc-aarch64`, it will build
that for the native architecture first.
So you're asking for `gcc-armhf` and it compiles `gcc-aarch64`, which
is very confusing (see #1272).
We don't use 'arch="all"' in our kernels anymore (that does not make sense,
since each arch needs its own kernel config). This patch fixes the menuconfig
code to work with multiple values in the "arch" field.
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 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
Right now, they appear on screen when using --details-to-stdout. This
does not work well with Travis CI and screws up the log.
Disabling the progress bars in abuild works just like Alpine does it in
their Travis CI script: Exporting SUDO_APK as
"abuild-apk --no-progress" instead of "abuild-apk".
test_check_checksums.py: Run "pmbootstrap build_init" before building
any packages, so it is a bit less verbose (downloading the APKINDEX
files etc.). Later we run the build init code again (because we use
--strict while building the packages), but then the APKINDEX files
are already present. So overall the log is a bit shorter before the
building starts. (It is still logged to the logfile, which gets
printed on error anyway.)
* Testsuite: Run UIs in Qemu and check running processes (and other changes)
* When `pmbootstrap qemu` gets killed, it now takes down the Qemu process with it
* `test/check_checksums.py` got a new optional `--build` parameter, which makes
it build all changed packages instead of just checking the checksums
* We run this before running the testsuite now, so all changed packages get
built before running tests (otherwise tests would hang without any output
while a changed package is building)
* New testcase, that zaps all chroots, installs a specific UI (xfce4 and
plasma-mobile currently, easy to extend), runs it via Qemu and checks the
running processes via SSH.
* Version checking testcase: rewritten to include Alpine's testsuite file in
our source tree, so we don't need to clone their git repo anymore. Now it
is enabled for Travis.
* All this gives us a nice 10% code coverage boost
* Increased the `hello-world` pkgrel to verify that the Travis job is working.
* Various fixes
* Build device-packages for the device arch and don't raise an
exception, but print a note if --ignore-depends is not specified
and therefore the kernel gets installed, too.
* Don't use --force when building in Travis (because abuild doesn't
check the checksums then. Bug report on the way.)
* Don't run the building process in the background, but wait for its
completion
* Exit with 1 when showing usage in check_checksums.py
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.
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.
Also don't build "-repack" packages in native chroot anymore.
This was a legacy hack, which has no use anymore, and it prevented
the package from being built for different architectures.
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)
* 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
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"
When not specifying an architecture for `pmbootstrap build`, and the `APKBUILD`
says that it can't be built for the native arch, it gets built for the right
foreign arch. `pmbootstrap` did not properly detect if packages were already
built in that case, and tried to build them again.
(I've noticed that while building packages for the binary repo #871.)
Use any `linux-` package, that is not available for `x86_64` on a `x86_64` PC
and build it twice. It should get properly detected now:
```shell
pmbootstrap build linux-amazon-thor
pmbootstrap build linux-amazon-thor # should not get built again
```
* 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.
* 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'.
We check if origin/HEAD is present. In case that reference is
missing, we show a meaningful error message now, with an explanation
on how to add it. Also moved find_out_of_sync_files_tracked() to
pmb.helpers.git
* 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.
* 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
I've replaced all instances in the code of `os.path.abspath`
with `os.path.realpath`, as this does the same as `abspath`
plus resolving symlinks.

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.
We can allow both ways:
* pmbootstrap menuconfig linux-motorola-titan
* pmbootstrap menuconfig motorola-titan
The former will show a tip about the second
This also prevents users from running menuconfig on aports like
'device-motorola-titan' or 'mkbootimg'
If you really want to build busybox, I recommend turning the
"timestamp based rebuilds" feature off, otherwise it will build
for all architectures all the time whenever you change something,
even if you do not increase the version number (that's the idea
of that feature). This is, because busybox is a dependency for
basiscally everything, so it must get updated whenever you install
something, in case it was out of date.
It is easier to simply rename the package.
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.
Thanks, Pablo Castellano!
* Fixed typo
* Guide user about what are the next steps after flashing kernel and password
* Increased postmarketos-mkinitfs' pkgver and rewording
Changes requested:
https://github.com/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap/pull/179
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.
* 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().
...even if the pkgver and pkgrel have *not* changed. This should
make development much more intuitive. The detection works by looking
at the last modified timestamps, just like `make` does it.
