* pmbootstrap init: Generate new port device- and linux-package
* adds `pmbootstrap aportgen device-*` and
`pmbootstrap aportgen linux-*`
* ask for confirmation when selecting a non-existing device
* generate the packages directly from init
* refactor aportgen code
* fixed some easy things in the linux- APKBUILD (more to come in
follow-up PRs!)
Testing:
* Test all questions to the user from pmb.config.init and pmb.aportgen.device
(except for the timezone question, because we would need to monkeypatch the
os.path.exists() function, which messes up pytest, so we'd need to refactor
the timezone function to be more testsuite friendly first)
* Run the device wizard in a testcase a few times and check the output, that
pmbootstrap.aportgen.device and pmbootstrap.aportgen.linux create by parsing
the resulting APKBUILDs and deviceinfo and checking its contents.
* Build the generated device package once in the same testcase
Thanks a lot to @drebrez for all the help with this one:
<https://github.com/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap/pull/821>
See also the updated porting guide:
<https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Porting_to_a_new_device>
* Add architecture argument for the buildroot chroot, defaults to device architecture
* Output pmbootstrap log file after failure to debug Travis failure
* Travis: disable timestamp based rebuilds
This caused builds to fail with a modern GCC at least once, and while it originally was meant as
security feature by Qualcomm, "it is unsupported by Qualcomm, and opens up to a wide range
of potential attack surfaces that has not been audited by anyone."
The conflict happens, when we're on rc-1, the old naming only contains the target version, so there will be two file named `postmarketos-linux-mainline-4.15-rc1.patch`: one that updates the kernel from the latest stable, and one empty.
* XFCE4/Hildon: Log to syslog, see also:
<https://github.com/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap/pull/762>
* Fix XFCE4 didn't start in qemu-amd64, because it required
libEGL.so.1, which is provided by mesa-egl. This is a dependency
of device-qemu-amd64-x11 now. (It worked for Hildon and Weston,
because they pull mesa-egl in with other packages.)
Travis suddenly fails, because flake8 has a new detection rule:
Using except to catch all exceptions triggers E722.
However, we only use it once and we really want to catch all exceptions,
as it wraps the whole program and shows a nice error message, with
the full trace in the log.
* Removed obsolete apkindex_files cache testcase (the corresponding
function has been removed in #345 already).
* Fix test_challenge_apk: It failed on Travis, because we're accessing
/etc/abuild.conf, which only exists after initializing the build environment.
It's a random dummy file anyway, so I've replaced it with another file.
* Fix test_folder_size: accept a tolerance in the result
The method of 'install detection' used here is to look for a partition with pmOS_boot in the partition label. It's not a guarantee, but it works when FDE is enabled without having to unlock the partition to read files within it.
This causes initramfs to skip calling 'kpartx' when pmOS has been
installed on an external disk (e.g. sdcard). Fixes mounting pmOS_boot
by label (#774).
@drebrez deserves much credit for this one for all the testing,
bisecting and for fixing everything. Thank you very much!

* devices which need a custom weston.ini ship it with a install_if
subpackage, so it only gets installed when weston is installed. This
sounds complicated, but is actually pretty clean in the APKBUILD.
* postmarketos-ui-weston: has a weston.ini.default, which enables
xwayland and uses fbdev as backend (because that's what most
devices use!). It defaults to the weston.ini.default if there is no
weston.ini (as installed by the device package).
* changed spaces to tabs for consistency, general minor refactoring of
device-APKBUILDs
Placing such files in /tmp/ is an unnecessary attack vector, as
@pavelmachek showed. All udev rules, which mentioned /tmp/weston.log
do not contain any path anymore.
Logs can be read with:
logread -f /var/log/messages | grep weston
See also: <https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Syslog>
This way we could give the user a rough idea what will be installed,
and also use this to display a short warning about long compile times
(e.g. until the plasma mobile stuff is upstreamed).
