* 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`
* Save "" (empty string) in the user's config as hostname if the user
let it default to the name of the device. That way, when the device
gets changed, the user won't get the old device's name as hostname
by accident.
* Add a test case
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.
It used to have an entry for /mnt/pmbootstrap-packages, which only
makes sense while working on the chroot with pmbootstrap. After the
installation on the device, there's no repo in that path.
Furthermore, empty lines were added to the recovery installer script
for readability (thanks @ata2001!)
* 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
* Rename deviceinfo variable flash_methods to flash_method
* Update pmb.config.deviceinfo_attributes / add sanity check
* Add test case that parses all deviceinfo files
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
The method of 'install detection' used here is to look for a partition with pmOS_boot in the partition label. It's not a guarantee, but it works when FDE is enabled without having to unlock the partition to read files within it.
* 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.
This checks for /sys/modules/loop before modprobing the loop module. My
understanding is that if this module is built into the kernel, that this
directory is still created. For a kernel without loop built in,
losetup.py will try to load the module using modprobe.
This only displays the ssh key note if no keys are found, since it's
confusing if a user has 1 key but not the other. In that case, the
message would be displayed despite copying one of the keys over.
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
* 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
Parted often succeeds, but then returns a non-zero exit code, because
it can not inform the kernel of the changes.
In most cases this is not even necessary, so it really should not
fail there.
When the error was fatal, pmbootstrap will crash shortly afterwards
when it tried to mount or run mkfs on the partition anyway.
* Write custom os-release (closes#324)
* Return empty string instead of crashing when the directory is not a git repository
* Use https in homepage URL
* 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
* Automatically compute the minimum size for the partitions
* Automatically resize the pmOS_root partition during the boot process
* Resize root partition only if there is unallocated space at the end of the device.
* Added more echos to make debugging easier while looking at the pmOS_init.log.
* Updated static_code_analysis.sh script to run shellcheck with `-x` option.
* Packaged libsparse
libsparse from the Android project provides multiple tools like img2simg
and simg2img.
These are used to split a large image for the system partition into
separate smaller chunks with sparse headers
This is required for several devices (at least bullhead, fp2 and titan)
because it fixes the "Invalid sparse file format at header magi" error
https://github.com/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap/issues/299
* Added new variable deviceinfo_flash_sparse (fixes#299)
Right after the system image is generated, pmbootstrap checks this
variable. In case it is true, run img2simg on it
* motorola-titan: enable deviceinfo_flash_sparse
* libsparse: use source from github: anestisb/android-simg2img
It is not that easy to use the upstream archive because everytime
you download it, the files have the current date as creation date
and that makes the file have a different checksum every download
https://github.com/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap/pull/303#issuecomment-319017197
I've realized that truncate is provided by busybox anyway, so no
need to install coreutils for this.
This should fix creating system image files on ZFS, where fallocate
is not implemented.
* 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
* Validate all inputs from `pmbootstrap init`
* Add a new `confirm()` function, that validates input of yes/no
questions properly
* All questions loop until they have a valid answer now
Thanks, craftyguy!
- UI is selectable with `pmbootstrap init`. Currently only 'weston' and 'none' are options. It'll automatically pick up any new `postmarketos-ui-*` packages added at later dates.
- splits off weston packages install from postmarketos-base and puts
them into postmarketos-ui-weston. Also note that NO weston packages are
installed by "pmbootstrap install" by default unless the user selects a ui in the `init`
- configuration of weston is now in postmarketos-ui-weston.
- the demos have been spun off to `postmarketos-demos`, and `postmarketos-ui-weston` lists this package as a dependency.
Thanks, cmdr2! Here's the text from his PR:
Fixes an issue on alpine-vanilla, where `/dev/loop` is a directory (containing `/dev/loop/0`, `/dev/loop/1` ..etc), and causes `./pmbootstrap install` to fail.
Ignoring the `/dev/loop` directory works because `/dev/` also contains files named `/dev/loop0`, `/dev/loop1` ..etc, which the new code will still pick up.
The `install` command passes after this fix on my alpine-vanilla.
* 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...)
* The check for valid sdcard paths has been removed (because it
doesn't make sense for /dev/sd*, this might as well be a real
harddrive)
* New check: abort if any partition of the sdcard is mounted
* Automatically detect if the partitions are called "p1", "p2" etc.
or just "1", "2" etc. (/dev/sda1 vs. /dev/mmcblk0p1)
* pmb.helpers.mount.ismount(): check the source (new) and the target
path in /proc/mounts
