Here's an example of the properties this could generate:
deviceinfo_header_version="2"
deviceinfo_append_dtb="false"
deviceinfo_flash_offset_dtb="0x0bc08000"
This includes setting header_version="2" as well as dtb_offset
according to the input boot.img when header v2 is detected.
Also adds the following previously missed deviceinfo_attributes:
* "header_version"
* "bootimg_custom_args"
And fixes failing tests now that header_version is always parsed from
boot.img files.
In case a user removes all contents of the work path then pmbootstrap
init will fail and show
WARNING: Your work folder version needs to be migrated (from version 0 to 6)!
Later the migration would fail with the error
ERROR: We have split the aports repository from the pmbootstrap repository (#383). Please run 'pmbootstrap init' again to clone it.
This is due to the existing check not accounting for e.g. log.txt being
written in the work path before we get to this check. Now change it so
we always create the version file if it doesn't exist yet.
Test plan:
$ grep work ~/.config/pmbootstrap.cfg
work = /tmp/pmbootstrap-work
$ rm -rf /tmp/pmbootstrap-work
$ mkdir /tmp/pmbootstrap-work
$ pmbootstrap init
This was previously attempted to be fixed in !1975
Since pmaports@50ee94d8 the kernel filename won't contain the flavor
information, but this is not correctly synchronized with the Odin
export. This fixes Odin export.
When using a kernel from Alpine the kernel configuration cannot be
found in pmaports. We cannot check the kernel config for missing
options in that case, but that's no reason to break the flasher
entirely.
Check if the pkgnames are sane in install_run_apk, right before running
apk. This makes sure that we really run it on all arguments that are
supposed to be packages / files and not options to apk.
Previously pmbootstrap would only show the packages that are about to be
installed. In case all packages were already installed, this would lead
to weird empty install messages:
(rootfs_asus-me176c) install
Show all packages that we want to install, even if they are already
installed in the given chroot.
(rootfs_asus-me176c) install device-asus-me176c
Previously to this patch, pmbootstrap would pass a full dependency tree
to "apk add". It would use a virtual package to ensure only the right
packages get added to /etc/apk/world. For example:
apk add -u --virtual .pmbootstrap postmarketos-base device-asus-me176c \
postmarketos-ui-sxmo-de-sway device-asus-me176c-nonfree-firmware w3m \
sfeed clickclack firefox-esr font-noto font-noto-emoji gnome-icon-theme \
imv megapixels mobile-config-firefox ttyescape postmarketos-base-nofde \
eudev openssh postmarketos-mkinitfs postmarketos-mvcfg postmarketos-keys \
...
Instead of doing that, only pass the packages we want to install and let
apk figure out the dependencies. Most of the time we can even avoid
using the virtual package now.
== Remaining edge case: locally built packages
apk will only upgrade a package with the same pkgver + pkgrel but a
different build date if the full path to an apk file gets passed as
argument. So if the user built a package locally that will be installed,
or one of its dependencies then we still need to use a virtual package
and possibly pass a dependency to apk. Replace
replace_aports_packages_with_path() with packages_get_locally_built_apks()
to get a list of such packages and adjust install() and
install_run_apk() to use it.
Make the code easier to read by moving split_to_add_del() to a separate
function and do some related refactoring. A future patch will use it
twice in install().
Move "arch = ..." to the top of the function while at it, since it's
needed later in the function in 2 places and is not needed for figuring
out packages_with_depends, to_add and to_del.
Remove "# Add depends to packages" because it's obvious from the
packages_with_depends variable name, and getting to_add/to_del is a
different action that stood under the same comment.
Split out the part that builds the apk commands and runs them out from
install() to a new function install_run_apk(). This makes install()
easier to read.
Since the previous commit that adds install_build(), all packages either
end up in to_add or to_del. Move the check for empty packages to the top
of the function, and directly check the packages variable.
I think it's worth keeping this check because it's shorter to add this
check once here than having it a few times in other place where we may
have or may not have something to install. And so we can avoid printing
an empty "install" message with no packages.
install_is_necessary used to do the following things:
1. Error out if there's no binary package but pmb was invoked as
"pmbootstrap install" and build_pkgs_on_install is disabled.
2. Build the package if necessary.
3. Return if a package "needs to be installed" (Boolean or Float).
The only caller of the function is pmb.chroot.apk.install. It would not
add the package to the long "apk add" command if according to 3. it does
not need to be installed.
When I implemented this a few years ago, I probably thought it would be
useful to not unnecessarily pass packages to apk. But this actually
makes it more complicated and doesn't have a benefit, apk is perfectly
capable of recognizing which packages it had already installed.
Replace the function with a much simpler pmb.chroot.apk.install_build,
which only does 1. and 2. Change the order of the package, arch
arguments to match called functions pmb.parse.apkindex.package and
pmb.build.package.
Put underscores between the words for consistency with other variable
names. Since the whole function is about dealing with packages, remove
the "packages_" prefix to make them shorter.
packages_toadd -> to_add
packages_todel -> to_del
So it looks like some packages might be mentioned in the "depends=" of
other packages and marked as conflict, for example:
depends="!foo"
..and the conflicting package can be dropped from the repo entirely if
it is no longer needed, however the reference to it in `depends=` still
exists. This handles that situation by just ignoring the missing package
if it is only a conflicting dependency.

Instead of trying both "${dev}1" and "${dev}p1" as partition paths, only
try one of them depending on if "${dev}" ends in a number or not. This
fixes getting a wrong /dev/loop11 partition by accident if there are
many loop devices, instead of only looking for the correct path
/dev/loop1p1. People reported this happening with snaps on ubuntu.
Deviceinfo variables are empty strings by default if they are unset
in the deviceinfo file, so the "is not None" check currently enables
the sm_sparse_image_tool for all existing devices using sparse format.
Simplify the check to convert the string to a bool. Empty strings
evaluate to False so this should work as originally intended.
One of the main purposes of lk2nd is to have a replacement for
the stock bootloader "Odin mode" on many Samsung devices with
sane fastboot implementation, which supports many more features
like live booting and many others.
This is done by using heimdall to flash lk2nd to device's boot
partition. Allow this method to be used with this flash action.
Specifically, this fixes issues with process substitution in bash in the
chroot.
For example, the following lines from a NetworkManager build script:
... |
grep -Fx -f <(get_symbols_explicit) -v |
grep -Fx -f <(get_symbols_nm)
fail with:
ninja: job failed: /home/pmos/build/src/NetworkManager-1.35.92/tools/create-exports-NetworkManager.sh --called-from-build /home/pmos/build/src/NetworkManager-1.35.92

grep: /dev/fd/63: No such file or directory
Stock bootloader on these devices boots kernel (it is intended to boot
kernel, but i place secondary bootloader there) from special ChromeOS
kernel partition on special GPT which is created with cgpt utility.
This MR adds initial support for it introducing new deviceinfo options:
- cgpt_kpart - path to file to be flashed to ChromeOS partition;
- cgpt_kpart_start - offset from the start in sectors;
- cgpt_kpart_size - partition size in sectors.
For example:
deviceinfo_cgpt_kpart="/usr/share/u-boot/google-peach-pit/u-boot-dtb.img.kpart"
deviceinfo_cgpt_kpart_start="8192"
deviceinfo_cgpt_kpart_size="32768"
cgpt requires start and size values of partition, so these values
are calculated for each partition.
Reserved size and on-device installer are not yet supported.

"Keeping track of which partition number is what is hard to understand now.
I think this should be refactored, so we have it defined only in one
place, and easy to read. Since this merge request increases the complexity
of the partitions again, let's do it here before merging." - Oliver

This makes QEMU trap signals like Ctrl-C and send it to the guest
instead of terminating QEMU.
To quit QEMU with this option you can use [Ctrl-A] [x]
or
[Ctrl-A] [c] and type 'quit' at the prompt.
This behavior is disabled by default, and can be enabled by setting a
new option in the pmbootstrap.cfg (using "pmbootstrap config

When installing dependencies for a package, conflicting (!) dependencies
are now deleted (with `apk del pkg`) whereas before a constraint for
their _absence_ was added (with `apk add !pkg`). Doing it the new way
around prevents creating deadlocks because a `!pkg` constraint will
prevent pkg from ever being installed without an explicit `apk del`
call.
Fixes: #2092
This removes the hard-coded installation of osk-sdl when specifying
--fde (or using the on-device installer) and instead determines the
unlocker package by taking the most suitable provider of
postmarketos-fde-unlocker (factoring provider priority and packages
selected for installation).
With this change applied, one can manually select an unlocker package to
be installed via
pmbootstrap install --fde --add other-unlocker

The apkbuild parser could not handle cases where a line ends in a
comment but the value is not quoted.
E.g. this:
pkgver=1.0 # I'm a comment, look at me
was being parsed to a value like this:
1.0 # I'm a comment, look at me
... which is obviously wrong. This strips off any trailing comment on
the line, so it's parsed to the correct value.

Support full linux-* package names in argument completion for
"pmbootstrap kconfig ..." command-lines and get rid of related PROTIP
messages:
PROTIP: You can simply do 'pmbootstrap kconfig check postmarketos-allwinner'
This improves consistency, as in other places we expect the user to
supply full package names as well (e.g. pmbootstrap build).
When running pmbootstrap on debian bullseye with the distro's
python3-argcomplete 1.8 from 2017, tab completion was broken. After
disabling stderr redirect to /dev/null, the error appeared:
TypeError: package_completer() missing 1 required positional argument: 'parser'
Support this ancient version of argcomplete too by setting None as
default value for parser (we don't use it anyway).

The provider selection for "pmbootstrap init" added in this commit
is a flexible way to offer UI/device-specific configuration options
in "pmbootstrap init", without hardcoding them in pmbootstrap.
Instead, the options are defined entirely in pmaports using APK's
virtual package provider mechanism. The code in pmbootstrap searches
for available providers and displays them together with their pkgdesc.
There are many possible use cases for this but I have tested two so far:
1. Selecting root provider (sudo vs doas). This can be defined entirely
in postmarketos-base, without having to handle this specifically in
pmbootstrap.
$ pmbootstrap init
[...]
Available providers for postmarketos-root (2):
* sudo: Use sudo to run root commands (**default**)
* doas: Use doas (minimal replacement for sudo) to run root commands
(Note: Does not support all functionality of sudo)
Provider [default]: doas
2. Device-specific options. My main motivation for working on this
feature is a new configuration option for the MSM8916-based devices.
It allows more control about which firmware to enable:
$ pmbootstrap init
[...]
Available providers for soc-qcom-msm8916-rproc (3):
* all: Enable all remote processors (audio goes through modem) (default)
* no-modem: Disable only modem (audio bypasses modem, ~80 MiB more RAM)
* none: Disable all remote processors (no WiFi/BT/modem, ~90 MiB more RAM)
Provider [default]: no-modem
The configuration prompts show up dynamically by defining
_pmb_select="<virtual packages>" in postmarketos-base, a UI PKGBUILD
or the device APKBUILD. Selecting "default" (just pressing enter)
means that no provider is selected. This allows APK to choose it
automatically based on the "provider_priority". It also provides
compatibility with existing installation; APK will just choose the
default provider when upgrading. The selection can still be changed
after installation by installing another provider using "apk".
Note that at the end this is just a more convenient interface for the
already existing "extra packages" prompt. When using pmbootstrap in
automated scripts the providers (e.g. "postmarketos-root-doas") can be
simply selected through the existing "extra_packages" option.
At the moment, "provides" are only checked in the root package and not
in subpackages of APKBUILDs. Fix this by looking through the subpackages
as well.
At the moment we have to parse all APKBUILDs to find subpackages,
even if they are guessed easily shortly after. To speed this up,
let's guess first but verify the guess by only parsing that particular
APKBUILD. If the subpackage/provides is in there we seem to have found it.
The current install code looks a bit confusing, there is an existing
if statement for the ui and ui-extras package but the recommended
packages are already installed before with a check in a completely
different file. Make this a bit more clear by moving this to the
ui if statement instead.
iwd seems like a promising alternative to wpa_supplicant. It uses crypto
implementations from the kernel, so let's make kconfig check aware of
the options it needs.
Extend the kconfig check code to not only support booleans and arrays,
but also strings. This will be used for CONFIG_LSM with apparmor where
it's important that "apparmor" has a certain spot in the list.
It's been 3 months since we switched to new mkinitfs
and we are still fixing consequences.
