Unmaintained devices are device packages that:
- Are known to be broken in some way without an active maintainer
who can investigate how to fix it, or
- Have not received any updates for a very long time, or
- Are discouraged from using because they are just intended for testing.
An example for this are ports using the downstream kernel for devices
which have a mainline port that is working quite well.
Unmaintained devices are still built by bpo (otherwise it would not make
sense to keep them), but they do not show up in "pmbootstrap init".
However, it is possible to manually select them by entering the name.
pmbootstrap will warn in that case.
Unmaintained packages should have a # Unmaintained: <reason> comment
in the APKBUILD, this comment is displayed in "pmbootstrap init"
so that the user knows why the device should not be used unless they
know what they are doing.
Let apkbuild-lint check options again, and pass the pmbootstrap specific
options with the new CUSTOM_VALID_OPTIONS variable. Add a test case and
adjust pmb.helpers.lint.check to return the output of apkbuild-lint, so
we can properly test it.

At the moment we have a simple subpkgdesc() function that can only
parse "pkgdesc" from subpackages, without support for any variables.
But we have a quite nice variable parser now that can be extended
to work for subpackages.
Simply put this works by:
- Finding the lines that belong to the subpackage function
- Stripping indentation (tab)
- Parsing relevant attributes similar to the apkbuild() function
The "subpackages" in the parsed APKBUILD are replaced by a dict
of subpkgname: {"pkgdesc": "...", "depends": "..."} which are
parsed from the subpackage function (if found).
This makes it possible to get the "depends" of a subpackage.
At the moment we parse all attributes, split them, and eventually
join them back together for variable replacement.
Replacing variables immediately after parsing (before splitting)
has several advantages:
- No need to handle different value types
(e.g. lists by joining them every time they are accessed)
- Variables like depends="$depends ..." are handled directly
by the variable parser
- APKBUILDs are shell scripts, so we match abuild more closely
if variables defined later do not affect previous attributes
Properly handle the following two cases in APKBUILDs:
* depends="$depends ..."
* depends="${depends} ..."
First I've attempted to refactor the parsing code to do this in a more
generic way. But I've realized that it would make more sense to retire
the python based APKBUILD parsing approach altogether and finally use a
shell script parser. Let's discuss this in #1801.
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
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.
