abuild traces shared library dependencies for binaries in built
packages, and adds all of them to depends. This is needed for the cross
gcc builds, as otherwise it will not add the isl dependency (currently
isl25).
With the crossdirect compilation method we mount the cross-gcc from the
native chroot in the foreign arch chroot. Due to the missing dependency,
isl was not installed in the native chroot, and so when attempting to
use that native cross gcc from the foreign arch chroot, it would try to
load the foreign arch isl instead of the native one. Resulting in lots
of the following errors (and of course not a working gcc):
Error relocating /usr/lib/libisl.so.23: unsupported relocation type 1026
I had probably added '!tracedeps' because abuild complains about it
otherwise... but as noted in [1] these complaints are safe to ignore.
Keep !strip for now even though it's not in Alpine's APKBUILD. I've
tried to build without and the build fails with:
strip: Unable to recognise the format of the input file `./usr/aarch64-alpine-linux-musl/lib/libgcc_s.so.1'

Do not build the foreign arch libgcc. We are using the one provided by
Alpine's binary repository instead, and when building it here and trying
to use it, we actually run into a conflict.
I tried setting BOOTSTRAP="nolibc" first since there is already logic to
then disable libgcc in the APKBUILD. But that also disables g++ which we
do want to build, so we can't use this.

Remove it from depends, as the package has been removed in Alpine and
since quite some time we shouldn't have depended on it anyway.

Set CTARGET and CTARGET_ARCH on top of the generated APKBUILD and use
the existing code in the APKBUILD for build(), package(), makedepends,
subpackages. This is now possible, because the pmbootstrap parser for
APKBUILDs has been improved a lot since this was originally written and
because the Alpine APKBUILD does everything that was hacked in here,
like removing man, info directories and bfd-plugins if doing a cross
build.
This is now very similar to bootstrapping binutils for another
architecture via scripts/bootstrap.sh in aports.git.
Most importantly this sets --disable-gprofng, which fails to build
against musl and is the reason why our cross/binutils-* packages
generated from binutils 2.39.x didn't build anymore.

Newly generated binutils package has file conflicsts with
non-cross binutils.
ERROR: binutils-2.37-r3: trying to overwrite usr/lib/bfd-plugins/libdep.so

Fix the generator to produce package that does not include these plugins.
Verify that using a Mediatek recovery boot.img file works with
bootimg_analyze. The mtk_mkimage-boot.img file is the twrp boot.img file
posted in pmbootstrap issue 2066.
Replace the previous mtkimage-boot.img file, which were only the first 4
KiB of a mediatek boot.img file, with a full one. I made this full image
with pmbootstrap install for fairphone-fp1, it contains the kernel
packaged in pmaports.git master.
Reason for the replacement is, that the previous image did not contain
the label for the ramdisk. The current code ignored this, but upcoming
refactoring will test this more strictly and the dummy image will not
pass the test anymore.
While zram has uses outside of swap-on-zram, I would believe that the
main use of zram in postmarketOS is swap-on-zram. In addition to that,
I imagine many probably expect swap-on-zram to work if the zram kconfig
succeeds.
I missed these when collecting the required kconfig options for
nftables, and it was a happy coincidence that the kernels I enabled the
nftables stuff on already had these enabled so that the initial kconfig
check passsed
test/kconfig: add missing nftables options
Translate the pmaports channels "stable" to "v20.05" and "stable-next"
to "v21.03", so these have the same channel name as the pmaports.git
branch name.
The original plan was to switch the "stable" channel from the "v20.05"
branch to the "v21.03" branch when the release is done. However, now
that we are close to that, I'm realizing that this would not be useful.
It would lead to conflicts in the dir with locally built packages
(default: ~/.local/var/pmbootstrap/packages/$CHANNEL). And it would make
it awkward to go back to a previous branch (we may name it old-stable
for the time being, but what after that, old-old-stable?).
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.
Packages like binutils-*, busybox-static-*, gcc-*, grub-efi-*, musl-*
are only needed for the native architecture during cross compilation.
Don't bother with trying to build them for other arches to save time and
to avoid getting stuck frequently at "armv7/binutils-aarch64" etc.
A few people like to use pmbootstrap on aarch64 hosts (e.g. PineBook
Pro), so let's make it available for aarch64 again when we can build
aarch64 packages natively in CI and bpo. (They do get stuck there right
now, because of qemu user emulation.)

Some Mediatek devices have a special 512-byte header around the zImage
which must be generated so the device boots.
Support for that exists for a while in postmarketOS but detection was
missing. Add that.
Let UI meta-packages specify apps in "pmb_recommends" to be explicitly
installed by default, and not implicitly as dependency of the UI
meta-package ("depends"). Therefore make these apps uninstallable,
without removing the meta-package.
Add pmbootstrap install --no-recommends to disable this feature.
Copy from current pmaports master, so pmbootstrap doesn't complain about
missing deviceinfo_codename when parsing it. Right now pmbootstrap
doesn't complain about this, but with the next patch it will attempt to
parse the file.
This replaces the year from 1337 to 2012 too, but let's rather have it
slightly more maintainable than introducing a diff for a funny reference.
"Chassis" defines the what kind of device a device is. Currently the
following standardized types exist:
"desktop", "laptop", "convertible", "server", "tablet", "handset",
"watch", "embedded", "vm", "container"
This property is exposed by org.freedesktop.hostname1 (e.g.
openrc-settingsd) and can be used by applications for example to display
appropriate strings instead of "About this phone" for non-phone devices.
Use mirrordir_pmos and mirrordir_alpine from channels.cfg to generate
the mirror URLs for postmarketOS and Alpine, which get written to
/etc/apk/repositories and which postmarketOS uses to download the
APKINDEX files.
Remove hardcoded "master" at the end of the postmarketOS mirror and use
mirrordir_pmos instead (which is "master" for the edge channel). Let the
postmarketOS mirror end in a '/' for consistency with the Alpine mirror
in pmb/config/__init__.py.
Remove obsolete --alpine-version. To experiment with a different Alpine
version, one should pass a custom --config-channels from now on.
Prepare to base postmarketOS on Alpine stable by parsing the new
channels.cfg file in pmaports.git, that describes which channel
needs which branches and mirror dirs from postmarketOS and Alpine.
Use the information in pmb.helpers.git.get_branches_official() first,
more is coming in follow-up commits.
Read the file from origin/master, so we get the latest fetched version
even if the last checked out master branch is not up-to-date (think of
currently checked out release branch instead of master, master will
never be updated to point to latest origin/master). Allow to override
the file with a new --config-channels parameter.

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.
