The postmarketos-base package used to make the user part of the "video"
and "audio" groups. However, this did not work reliably, and we were
adding the "wheel" group in "pmbootstrap install" anyway.
Now all groups get added in "pmbootstrap install", and the names of the
groups have been moved to `pmb.config.install_user_groups`.
* 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.
