* Implement command to retrieve and set configuration values
* qemu: show advice to use "pmbootstrap config"
* Allow "pmbootstrap config" without positional arguments (prints the full config)
* Check valid variable names
This fixes https://github.com/postmarketOS/binary-package-repo/issues/1
GCC generates hardlinks between files `A` and `B` in its `make install` step. The problem is, that `tar` randomly packages `A` as full binary, and links `B` to `A`, or the other way around! I was able to reproduce this issue consistently when re-building `gcc-aarch64` on Travis CI (interestingly, this did not appear for `gcc-armhf`).
The fix is, to delete `B` and create a symlink `B` that points to `A` instead.
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
* aports: Use $install variable inside $source
So these files also get fingerprinted
* qemu: Use shutil.which instead of pmb.helpers.run.user
* Fix typo in comment
Thanks to Pablo Castellano and Martijn Braam!
In postmarketOS we are now able to generate system images with the
correct configuration so that they can boot already using qemu
This commit brings the `pmbootstrap qemu` action.
This command is very handy because you don't have to set all the
qemu parameters, pmbootstrap does it for you.
* device-qemu-vexpress: Added kernel command line according to wiki
* qemu: Added workaround for image writing permissions
* qemu: Added support to launch postmarketOS in a QEMU virtual machine
- Support for emulating these architectures in QEMU: arm, aarch64, x86_84
- Generate QEMU command correctly depending no guest architecture (arm/x86)
- Run QEMU in the same architecture as the host by default
- Refactoring in pmb.parse.arch and pmb.qemu.run
- Raise exception if DTB file or system image are not present
- Display more useful information when something fails (e.g. image not found)
- Run qemu version depending on arch (host or argument), not device configured
* device-qemu-amd64: set deviceinfo_kernel_cmdline to "PMOS_NO_OUTPUT_REDIRECT"
* qemu: added --memory argument to specific guest RAM
* device-qemu-amd64: adjusted deviceinfo_kernel_cmdline (console=tty1)
* Added /etc/network/interfaces for qemu-amd64
* qemu: Added KVM support if /dev/kvm if present
* Specify separate machines for architecture
* qemu: Check if QEMU is installed instead of crashing
* Added graphics driver to qemu-aarch64
- Use arm (as used in qemu) instead of armhf (used in Alpine)
- qemu argument is -dtb
- Follow same style to build the command + arguments
* qemu: Added SSH port redirection: ./pmbootstrap.py qemu -p 2222
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.
libstdc++.a from gcc-armhf was not reproducible on Travis (it was, when built locally!). These .a files are just archives of object files .o, and in this case it was caused by a random order of the .o files in the archive.
This PR patches the package() function of the APKBUILD when running pmbootstrap aportgen gcc-armhf (same for aarch64 of course), to extract all .a files, and repack them to be reproducible (by sorting the files before packing them).
As usually, we can still inherit everything from the upstream gcc aport from Alpine, and apply our changes on top of that.
Travis without the patch:
https://api.travis-ci.org/jobs/260402679/log.txt?deansi=true
> CHALLENGE FAILED for usr/armv6-alpine-linux-muslgnueabihf/lib/libstdc++.a:File 'usr/armv6-alpine-linux-muslgnueabihf/lib/libstdc++.a' is different!
Travis with the patch (I've instructed Travis to run off this branch to test it):
https://api.travis-ci.org/jobs/260806203/log.txt?deansi=true
> Done. Your build exited with 0.
* 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.
When this parameter is set, `args.logfd` (the log file descriptor)
gets set to `sys.stdout`, so all logging gets directly sent to the
active pmbootstrap session, and not to a log file.
This will be used for Travis jobs, because they get killed after
10 minutes without any output (and builds may take longer).
* 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
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'
* Quote architecture in logging message for easier reading
* Added shortcut arguments for --rootfs, --buildroot and --suffix
* Simply remove beforehand link to nowhere if exists (fix#278)
Fixed crash when symlink already existed but pointed to a non-existing location
This was a regression from the improved input validation PR, which
created the chroot_native folder with the wrong permissions (to test
if we have write access to the work folder).
sjamaan found out, that this was the cause of the issue, and also
explained how to fix it, thanks a lot!
Huge thank you to @drebrez for his amazing work on this PR!
* Add generation of initramfs-extra with additional binaries
Extract both initramfs with `pmbootstrap initfs extract`
Add new splashscreens for missing partitions/files errors
Changes in init script:
- use busybox findfs applet to find boot partition
- mount boot partion
- extract initramfs-extra
- show error splashscreens accordingly and loop forever
- start usb unlock directly from unlock_root_partition (hook removed)
* Print out a text message for serial debugging in case of errors
Add initramfs-extra files to `pmbootstrap initfs ls` output
* Fix trailing whitespace in comment...
* ls: Indicate which initramfs we're looking at / add wiki link
I've rewritten the initramfs-development article to reflect the
changes made in this PR. It will be a good read for someone who
extracted the initramfs and wants to know why we have two files.
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.
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.
* Refactored `umount_all` to get the list of folders to be umounted from
`umount_all_list`, so we can test that function in a test case.
* Adjusted `umount_all_list` to return the deep folder levels first
* Added a testcase for that
* Remove redundant calls to `umount_all()` (which were from a time before
`pmbootstrap` was released, in which failing commands did not cause
`pmbootstrap` to raise an exception)
* 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
* postmarketos-splash: change arch from "all" to "noarch"
* lg-mako: use .tar.gz instead of .zip (because that's the reference
APKBUILD)
* #220: Allow specifying multiple packages for checksum, build,
aportgen
* #239: Add chroot shortcuts (--rootfs and --buildroot)
* Show chroot and command before entering chroot
* 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
The creates the linux-postmarketos package which for now supports the n900 (and probably the other maemo devices) and qemu with the vexpress-a9 machine simulation.
I've put the generated dtbs in /usr/share/dtb for now and set the dtb field in the deviceinfo for the n900 and my new qemu device.
* Introduced linux-postmarketos-omap
* Unified kernel progress
* Created kernel bootable with qemu
* Updated n900 deviceinfo for generic kernel
* Changed qemu device to vexpress
* Updated APK comments and added linux-postmarketos-dev package
* Append dtb in mkinitfs
* Fixed bootscript on n900 for the generic kernel
* Don't detect double flavors with -dtb appending
* Added graphics drivers for vexpress (qemu)
* Added more drivers for qemu
This adds virtio network support in qemu for the vexpress-a9 machine.
The keyboard and mouse don't work yet.
You can boot into weston if --no-fde is specified
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.
This addresses #246 by not storing the aports directory in the config
file. The default location is still available (from config/__init__.py),
and can be overridden.
* Update runtime error message thrown for grsec/hardened kernels, saying that they are not supported right now, #107
* Remove unnecessary check for grsec enable/disable status - the build will not work in either case
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.
100% tested. Assuming that you don't need to test an obvious change,
because it only changes one line is dangerous. I will learn from this,
sorry for the inconvenience.
`gcc-armhf` compiles fine again with that change, and it is able to
cross-compile packages as it used to.
* Ignore `>`, `<`, `=` and `!` operators, when they are specified in
the dependencies. This was the desired behavior before, but it was
not implemented correctly (so it wouldn't ignore them everywhere).
Of course the real fix would be to honor these operators like apk
does. But this isn't feasible right now, and it should work for
most, if not all, our use-cases. I have documented this in the wiki
under build internals and if we happen to need correct operator
handling, we should do it then.
Minor other changes:
* `pmbootstrap parse_apkindex`: support optional package parameter to
only show the parsed content for one package.
* Support building most python APKBUILDs by replacing ${pkgname#py-}
properly
I've had a strange case where `cryptsetup status` did not work
inside the chroot anymore, and only zapping it would resolve it.
But I couldn't zap, because the status check was preventing shutdown
(on which zap depends) from working. This commit works around that.
