mesa-dri-swrast and mesa-dri-virtio are both provided by mesa-dri-gallium
now, so this option does not have much use anymore. With both selections,
exactly the same packages are installed.
Whenever initializing new chroots, save the date in $WORK/workdir.cfg.
Add pmb.config.workdir.chroots_outdated() to check if it's time to zap
the chroots or not (since we don't update them automatically). Mark them
as outdated after two days.
This will be the first check in "pmbootstrap status" (future patches).

While at it, also remove unnecessary "#!/usr/bin/env python3" in files
that only get imported, and adjust other empty/comment lines in the
beginnings of the files for consistency.
This makes files easier to read, and makes the pmbootstrap codebase more
consistent with the build.postmarketos.org codebase.
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.
The gist of this action is upgrading the specified aport to the latest
version. There are implementations for both stable packages (which check
via the release-monitoring.org API for new versions) and git packages
(which check the GitLab/GitHub API for new commits on the main branch).
There's also the possibility to pass --all, --all-stable & --all-git to
the action which either loops through all packages, or just stable or
git packages and upgrades them.
The --dry argument is also respected.
Note, that the implementation does update the variables pkgver, pkgrel
and _commit but it doesn't update the checksums because that would slow
down the process a lot, and is potentially undesirable.
asus-me176c has a Fastboot interface that can be used for flashing,
but in postmarketOS we do not use Android boot images for it.
This is because is it not very practical - the boot partition is
quite small and there is a (custom) EFI bootloader that can boot
directly from any other FAT32 partition.
At the moment the installation process is manual:
1. pmbootstrap install --split to have separated boot (FAT32)
and rootfs images
2. pmbootstrap export
3. Flash boot and rootfs images manually using Fastboot
The "fastboot-bootpart" flasher implements that process in a more
convenient way. When a device uses the "fastboot-bootpart" flasher:
- We generate --split images on "pmbootstrap install" by default.
(This can be disabled using --no-split instead.)
- pmbootstrap flasher flash_kernel flashes the raw boot partition
(not an Android boot image) using Fastboot, just like the rootfs.
There are some limitations that could be improved in the future:
- "fastboot-bootpart" is not offered in the device wizard.
I think it is special enough that no-one will be starting with it,
and the difference to normal "fastboot" might be confusing.
- Support "pmbootstrap flasher boot". asus-me176c does not support
"fastboot boot" properly, but theoretically we could still generate
Android boot images to use when booting an image directly.
- At the moment the boot partition image is not regenerated when
using "pmbootstrap flasher flash_kernel" (unlike when using Android
boot images). "pmbootstrap install" needs to be run manually first.
Right now we explicitly add ttf-droid to /etc/apk/world, and force
installation of it on every postmarketOS installation. But there really
is no reason to force this from pmbootstrap:
- If ttf-droid is really required for every postmarketOS installation,
it should be a depends of postmarketos-base.
- Even with this change it is still installed on every device,
because postmarketos-splash depends on it.
- There is no need for fonts when using the "none" UI.
For now, the only difference of this change is that we no longer add
ttf-droid explicitly to the APK world. Instead, it is installed as
dependency of postmarketos-splash.
Rust packaging is new and still a bit weird in Alpine and postmarketOS.
As of writing, we only have one package (squeekboard), and use cargo to
download the source of all dependencies at build time (several git
repositories!) and compile it. Usually, this is a no-go, but at least
until this is resolved properly, let's cache the downloads as suggested
in: https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/guide/cargo-home.html

Do not install git in the native chroot and use it from there. Remove the
chown_to_user argument from pmb.helpers.git.clone(), the resulting dir
is now always owned by the user. While at it, refactor the function and
display the clone URL.
Previously we had cloned aports_upstream (from Alpine) with
chown_to_user=False (legacy) and pmaports with chown_to_user=True.
pmb.helpers.git.rev_parse() would only work after chown_to_user=True.
Check if git is installed in "pmbootstrap init", and remove the same
check from rev_parse(). Add a new work dir version, that checks for git
and changes ownership of already checked out aports_upstream to the
host system's user.
When creating a new work dir, create cache_git instead of cache_http.
cache_http is created on demand already, with proper permissions. But
cache_git must be created, otherwise pmb.helpers.mount.bind will create it
as root.
This is in preparation for the "pmbootstrap pull" feature, as it allows
using the host system's git in all new code paths. We will be able to
handle repositories even if they were cloned outside of the work dir
(which we do in a few CI scripts for example).

Remove /home/pmos/git from pmb.config.chroot_home_symlinks, so
pmb.chroot.init.init() will not change the ownership of the
$WORK/cache_git dir.
The symlink was added two years ago in [1] as compatibility to previous
behavior, because the mountpoint of cache_git was changed from
/home/user/git to /mnt/pmbootstrap-git. Forcing the ownership of that
dir to be the pmos user inside the chroot made sense, because the only
cloned repository (aports_upstream) would also be owned by the pmos
user. With the upcoming change to have all cloned repos owned by the
host-system's user, this is just confusing.
The /home/pmos/git symlink does not seem to be used by anybody, it is
not mentioned in the pmbootstrap code and in the wiki.

Always install git when building packages, so abuild won't behave
slightly different if it is (not) installed. As nice side-effect, we
will always get the pmaports.git commit saved in the resulting .apk file
from now on (in .PKGINFO).
elogind requires cgroup support in the kernel.
It does not start without it, resulting into errors like:
elogind-daemon[1654]: Failed to mount tmpfs at /sys/fs/cgroup: No such file or directory
elogind-daemon[1654]: Failed to mount cgroup at /sys/fs/cgroup/elogind: No such file or directory
elogind-daemon[1654]: Failed to allocate manager object: No such file or directory
dbus-daemon[1437]: [system] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.login1' requested by ':1.1' (uid=0 pid=1642 comm="/usr/bin/lightdm ") (using servicehelper)
dbus-daemon[1437]: [system] Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.login1': timed out (service_start_timeout=25000ms)
Most of the supported desktop environments (e.g. Weston) do not
start without elogind, so we should require CONFIG_CGROUPS=y in
all kernels to avoid this problem.
postmarketOS/pmaports!700 adds a new "deviceinfo_bootimg_dtb_second"
option that places the DTB in the "second" area of the Android boot
image.
Attempt to detect this automatically by checking the extracted
second binary for the FDT magic (0xd00dfeed).
This reverts commit 6fb5b28e2f.
The -i option was removed from fastboot, so we can't use it anymore
unless we fork the package. There was only one device using it,
amazon-thor. I will add a note to the wiki page.
Fixes#1830.
Make sure, that "args.fork_alpine" is always present. Otherwise,
pmbootstrap will fail if the aportgen code is called by anything but
"pmbootstrap aportgen". For example, when the user is adding a new
device during "pmbootstrap init".
Fixes: 54e51759ad ("aportgen: add feature to fork upstream packages")
Remove u-boot from the native_cross_compile list as we now have
crossdirect. Compiling is not terribly slow anymore, and when not using
the "native" method, it is possible to depend on firmware packages like
arm-trusted-firmware-sun50i.
This reverts commit d7d7ccb672.
Add check for UEVENT_HELPER for kernels >= 4.0.0. Change LBDAF check to
be only required for kernels <5.2.0. Adjust the config format and
checking code to support such range specific checks.
Depend on new pmaports version, where crossdirect uses the native ccache
binary instead of going through the foreign arch ccache first and then
going through crossdirect.
Old:
ccache (foreign) -> crossdirect (native) -> gcc (native)
New:
crossdirect (native) -> ccache (native) -> gcc (native)
Set the PATH to the crossdirect binaries, and don't set CCACHE_PATH or
CCACHE_COMPILERCHECK from pmbootstrap anymore. crossdirect sets the
CCACHE_PATH to /native/usr/bin now, along with all other required
environment variables. CCACHE_COMPILERCHECK isn't necessary anymore,
because ccache will call gcc directly and therefore be able to use the
file's timestamp and size directly. Also passing that would not work
with the current crossdirect package.
Launch native cross compilers inside foreign chroot. Enable by default,
but allow disabling with --no-crossdirect for now. This option and the
distcc-sshd related code will be removed in the future.
