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.
Support branches, so pmbootstrap won't fail if v20.05 is selected:
ERROR: You have an outdated version of the 'apk' package manager installed
(your version: 2.10.5-r1, expected at least: 2.12.1-r0).
Move the logic for this check to pmb.helpers.apk.check_outdated and
adjust the test.
This fixes the CI failure in test_crossdirect_rust, which uses the
stable channel. (My bad for not creating this patch earlier, while at
the same time explaining in the creating pmbootstrap release instructions,
that this minimum apk version should be adjusted.)
Hide progress bars if --details-to-stdout is used, which redirects all
output that would land in the pmbootstrap log to stdout. This caused the
progress bar output to get mixed with the apk output. A new progress bar
would get drawn whenever a new package was installed, without removing
the previous progress bar.
Many of pmbootstrap's actions require root rights. When after requesting
sudo access pmbootstrap takes longer than the sudo timeout interval to finish
execution, the password will have to be entered again on the next sudo
action.
This change adds an opt-in feature to run sudo -v in a background loop
in order to prevent having to enter the password more than once for a single
pmbootstrap run. The loop runs as a daemon timer which automatically gets
canceled when pmbootstrap exits.
Closes: #1677
Replace the "kill_as_root" argument with a much simpler "sudo" argument
and remove the now obsolete check for the output mode of "kill_as_root".
"kill_as_root" would only get set to True if both conditions are met:
a) command is running with sudo
b) command is running with an output mode ("log" or "stdout") where
pmb.helpers.run_core would kill it if it does not output anything
before a timeout is reached
The new "sudo" argument just indicates if the command is running with
sudo (a), regardless of the output mode (b).
The sideload command runs the supplied names through the pmbootstrap
buildsystem to make sure they're up-to-date, then uses scp from the host
to copy the built apks to /tmp on the phone and installs them through
ssh.
If the --install-key option is set then it will also copy over the apk
key that's used for signing the packages built by pmbootstrap in case
the postmarketOS install on the device isn't build by the same machine
as you're sideloading from.
This adds a new output mode "pipe" that is identical to the existing
"background" mode except for that its stdout is redirected into a
pipe so that it can be retrieved.
Before this commit, pmb.helpers.run_core.sanity_checks would raise
a runtime error when pmb.helpers.run.root was called with an output
mode that did not support timeouts (like background).
Let tail attempt to open the file again, if it becomes inaccessible.
This is useful, when writing a reproducer that deletes pmbootstrap's
log.txt while at the same time running 'pmbootstrap log'.
(027724) [17:57:34] Done
tail: '/home/user/.local/var/pmbootstrap/log.txt' has become inaccessible: No such file or directory
tail: '/home/user/.local/var/pmbootstrap/log.txt' has appeared; following new file
(003493) [17:57:35] % cd /home/user/.local/var/pmbootstrap/cache_git/pmaports; git remote -v
This adds support for specifying an arbitrary git ref (e.g. commits,
tags, branches) to upgrade to. This can be useful if a specific commit
needs to be packaged instead of the latest available. Alternatively you
can also specify a branch to be used if the default branch is 'stable'
but 'develop' should be packaged.
This also removes old code to use the 'bionic' branch for UBports Lomiri
(formerly Unity 8) packages.
Before this fix tab completion of names with hyphens were not done:
try for example to complete UI package name in 'pmbootstrap init' with
hyphen, like "plasma-mobile" / "plasma-desktop". Now this is handled
correctly (hyphen is not considered as delimeter).
This is likely to fail with the new default cryptsetup cipher of
aes-xts-plain64, as many downstream kernels used in recovery OS (like
TWRP) do not have CRYPTO_XTS set.
This made sense for Alpine's aports.git repository as we were only using
the master branch. But now that we are using more branches, we need the
entire git repository with all its branches cloned.
Add initial support for the on-device installer in pmbootstrap. Let
pmbootstrap create a regular split image, then prepare a new installer
rootfs and copy the previously generated rootfs image into the installer
rootfs. Put the installer rootfs into a new image, with reserved space.
There is more to do from here, such as disabling the generation of the
user account when using --ondev. But this requires support in
postmarketos-ondev first, so let's build that iteratively.

Prepare for a future patch, that adds reserved space in MiB, by changing
size_boot and size_root from bytes to MB everywhere. This is what we need
most of the time and allows to drop some /1024**2 statements.
Migrate to workdir version 5 and move already built packages into the edge
channel subdir, for example:
$WORK/packages/x86_64/hello-world-1-r5.apk
to:
$WORK/packages/edge/x86_64/hello-world-1-r5.apk
The build.postmarketos.org code has already been adjusted to find built
packages in either directory structure.
Replace the call to this function with the almost identical
pmb.helpers.repo.apkindex_files(), so release channel related changes
only need to be done in one place.
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.
Don't generate the postmarketOS mirror URLs here, let the urls()
function do it. A follow-up commit will touch this code, hence it's
important to have it de-duplicated.
Do not make the parsed pmaports.cfg from pmaports.git available as
args.pmaports anymore. This de-bloats the args variable a bit.
First I thought that we didn't even need to cache it, but it was pointed
out that later patches do access it frequently to read the current channel
from pmaports.cfg. Therefore it is using a cache now.

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.
