test_aportgen.py fails because some test data is missing.
Make the test pass by fixing the test data with the following changes:
- Update testdata pmaports/cross/*
- Don't git ignore test/testdata/aportgen directory
- Add testdata aports/main/* from upstream Alpine Linux aports
Patch files in pmaports/cross/binutils-armhf were removed, as they are
not needed to test the pmbootstrap code.
Adds an optional deviceinfo variable, `deviceinfo_rootfs_image_sector_size`,
which specifies the logical sector size of the device's storage.
Some devices made after 2016 with UFS storage uses 4096 byte sectors
instead of the normal 512 bytes. The partition table in our rootfs
must match, otherwise the root filesystem won't mount on the device.
This change passes the sector size to `losetup` when creating the image
if the deviceinfo specifies it, so the image will have the correct
sector size.
If the deviceinfo doesn't specify the new option, the behaviour
is the same as previous versions of pmbootstrap.
Note that the sector size option only works on Linux 4.14 and above,
so pmbootstrap should be run on a >4.14 computer when installing to
devices with non-standard sector size.
To find if a device needs this parameter, run `fdisk -l` on the device.
If the output shows
`Note: sector size is 4096 (not 512)`
then add `deviceinfo_rootfs_image_sector_size="4096"` to the deviceinfo.
This is needed by the Pixel 3 XL (google-crosshatch) port.

Do not fail when an APKINDEX can not be downloaded, print a WARNING
instead. This matches, what apk does. Add a new allow_404 parameter to
pmb.helpers.http.download(), and use it in pmb.helpers.repo.update()
for downloading APKINDEX files. Cache the APKINDEX URLs that gave a 404
for the session, so we do not attempt to download these again.
This is needed for the new binary repository: the initial build is done
without existing APKINDEX files, so we must not fail in that case.
Change the cache format from args.cache["offline_msg_shown"] to
args.cache["pmb.helpers.repo.update"]["offline_msg_shown"]. This is in
preparation for saving more data in the cache of
pmb.helpers.repo.update in the next commit.
Do not fail anymore when attempting to start a new binary repository
build without any existing binary packages:
pmbootstrap -mp="" repo_missing
Find subpackages defined with subpackage functions:
subpackages="dev:mydevfunc"
Find provides defined with specific versions:
provides="mkbootimg=1.0.0"
Weston and Plasma Mobile might choose to draw on this virtual frame
buffer, just like it happened for the samsung-jflte. Disabling the
USE_VFB option fixed this, so let's make sure we don't have that option
enabled for any kernel.
Multiple -mp arguments can be used to list multiple mirrors:
$ pmbootstrap -mp=first -mp=second chroot -- cat /etc/apk/repositories
This is needed for the new build infrastructure, so we can have a WIP
repository to which we push packages until all of them are up to date,
and then publish all of them at once. Software like KDE/Plasma Mobile,
which expect a lot of packages to be updated from one version to
another will not end up with a half-way through upgrade that way.
Obscure feature: it was possible to specify a local path as
--mirror-pmOS. It would then get mounted to /mnt/postmarketos-mirror
inside the chroot, and be specified as such in the generated
/etc/apk/repositories file.
I had used this once for some testing scripts, but I am sure nobody is
using this anymore. The same can be achieved with running a local http
server anyway:
<https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Installing_packages_on_a_running_phone>
Removing this makes it easier to support multiple postmarketOS mirrors
(next commit).
-m is the Alpine mirror, -mp is the postmarketOS mirror. Use "URL" as
metavar and add help text that explains how to disable the postmarketOS
mirror (so all pmaports get built locally).
In pmb.helpers.package.get(), we are differentiating between packages
that do not exist at all, and packages that do not exist for the
specified architecture. Make sure to actuallyy download the foreign arch
APKINDEX files, before trying to find the packages in there. Otherwise
the "could not find aport, and could not find this package in any
APKINDEX" package would appear.
We ran into this when testing on sr.ht, because pmbootstrap runs on a
fresh install every time, where no old APKINDEX files are present
(which would work around the bug).
This was meant to be part of the previous commit already, and was
tested, but it was not submitted correctly. So here it is as separate
commit straight to master. It is trivial anyway.
Add a new action that lists all aports, for which no binary packages
exist. Only list packages that can be built for the relevant arch
(specified with --arch). This works recursively: when a package can be
built for a certain arch, but one of its dependencies
(or their depends) can not be built for that arch, then don't list it.
This action will be used for the new sr.ht based build infrastructure,
to figure out which packages need to be built ahead of time (so we can
trigger each of them as single build job). Determining the order of the
packages to be built is not determined with pmbootstrap, the serverside
code of build.postmarketos.org takes care of that.
For testing purposes, a single package can also be specified and the
action will list if it can be built for that arch with its
dependencies, and what needs to be built exactly.
Add pmb/helpers/package.py to hold functions that work on both pmaports
and (binary package) repos - in contrary to the existing
pmb/helpers/pmaports.py (see previous commit) and pmb/helpers/repo.py,
which only work with one of those.
Refactoring:
* pmb/helpers/pmaports.py: add a get_list() function, which lists all
aports and use it instead of writing the same glob loop over and over
* add pmb.helpers.pmaports.get(), which finds an APKBUILD and parses it
in one step.
* rename pmb.build._package.check_arch to ...check_arch_abort to
distinguish it from the other check_arch function
Move find_aport() and find_aport_guess_main() from pmb/build/other.py
to the new file pmb/helpers/pmaports.py.
Finding aports is not only needed when building packages, hence it
makes sense to move it out of pmb.build. The pmb/helpers/pmaports.py
file will have more pmaports related functions in a follow up commit.
Target arch is the system the package will run on. Host arch is the
system the package is compiled on.
For example kernel packages can be compiled on host arch x86_64 and
intended to run on target arch armhf. A build is necessary check
against host arch will always return True. The correct way is to check if
the package needs to be built for target arch.
Do not try to build and install dependencies for the package's
architecture when compiling in the "native" mode. That mode is
described here in detail:
https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Build_internals#Cross-compile_types
This makes it possible to cross compile kernels again, which need to
be built with GCC6. We have switched to Alpine's GCC6 package, but it is
not available for armhf/aarch64 on edge yet, because Alpine's build bots
are stuck (right now armhf is not even listed):

Huge thanks to ryang2478/Decatf for posting this patch in pmaports#138!
Clearly state which version is being used, and also display the message
when using build --force.
- Old:
WARNING: Package 'ubuntu-app-launch' in your aports folder has version
0_git20180604-r0, but the binary package repositories already have version
0_p20181101174257-r0! See also: <https://postmarketos.org/warning-repo2>
- New:
WARNING: package hello-world: aport version 1-r4 is lower than 1-r5 from
the binary repository. 1-r5 will be used when installing hello-world.

Find the main package by assuming it is a prefix of the subpkgname. We
do that, because in some APKBUILDs the subpkgname="" variable gets
filled with a shell loop and the APKBUILD parser in pmbootstrap can't
parse this right. (Intentionally, we don't want to implement a full
shell parser.)
This covers most use cases and saves a lot of build time. Can be
changed on demand. Again, this simplifies package building as part of
the new build infrastructure effort.
Use the device's architecture instead of noarch. Because the device
packages should never be built for other architectures, even if all
depends can be built for other arches as well.
This simplifies package building as part of the new build
infrastructure effort.
All existing pmaports will be changed shortly, along with a test case
in pmaports.
Set HOME to /root for commands started with pmb.chroot.root() and to
/home/pmos for commands started with pmb.chroot.user().
POSIX requires this variable to be set, see:
<http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/xbd_chap08.html>
And this prevents a crash in "adb", which takes and alternative code
path if HOME is not set, that does not work with musl (fixes#1638).
Thanks to @ryang2678 for figuring this out!
When kbuild is using a separate directory for output files then it will
check if the kernel source directory is clean.
The build will throw an error when the source directory is not clean:
.. is not clean, please run 'make mrproper'
Once envkernel.sh has aliased the make command then make mrproper will
be run in the context of .output directory. If the source directory is not
clean then user may be wondering why make mrproper doesn't clean it.
This change will ensure that the source directory is clean when envkernel
is setup.
* create symlinks to the GCC8 patches (introduced in pmaports!35)
* link to the new vendorkernel reference wiki page
* use SPDX license in the license= field
* add comment above the compiler section of the APKBUILD
* remove empty line at the end of the APKBUILD
When the timeout occurs it is important to ensure clean up of child
processes. Killing only the direct process created by a command can
leave child processes running.
For example a pmbootstrap.py install will run apk add. This run command
creates multiple processes as follows:
(cmd line arguments snipped for readability)
$ ps -e -o pid,ppid,pgid,cmd
PID PPID PGID CMD
31738 23247 31738 python3 ./pmbootstrap.py -t 15 install --no-fde
31746 31738 31738 sudo env -i /bin/sh -c ... ;apk --no-progress add
31747 31746 31738 /bin/sh -c ... ;apk --no-progress add
31748 31747 31738 apk --no-progress add
The root process of the run command is PID 31746. We want to kill
the child processes too. Otherwise only running kill -9 31746 will leave
the processes 31747 and 31748 running.
* aportgen: modify code to allow generating gcc6-armhf and other gcc6
cross compiler packages
* package: when 'gcc6' is in the depends of a package, and the cross
compiling mode is "native" (as we do it with kernels), install the
gcc6 cross compiler instead of the usual one (gcc8)
