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.

Add default user to netdev group. Together with MR [1] in pmaports.git,
this fixes the permissions to use nmtui and nm-applet from the user.

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.
This adds flasher support for uuu, a utility used by NXP devices for
flashing images.
The flasher expects a uuu command list script to be installed in the
device rootfs at /usr/share/uuu/flash_script.lst.
This allows building u-boot much faster, previously it used to build
whole u-boot with distcc+qemu cross-compile, now it builds u-boot on
native chroot using cross-compilers.
Related to a proprietary "T-Mobile's WiFi-Calling" feature. It should
not affect normal calls, so it should be safe to disable it. Having it
enabled causes sudo, ip and other commands to hang.
It is dangerous to flash the boot partition on the Ouya. Doing so can
result in a bricked device. Allow deviceinfo to blacklist partitions from
ever being flashed.
Increase pakage version and minimum required apk version. The latter
should be done with every new release from now on, so we always have a
recent version there. I've updated the pmbootstrep release checklist
accordingly: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Pmbootstrap_release
Allow changing the kernel partition for fastboot and heimdall in
deviceinfo and on the fly while doing "pmbootstrap flasher
flash_kernel". Also allow changing the partition for
"... flash_rootfs" with fastboot (this was only possible with
heimdall so far).
Introduce two new deviceinfo variables:
* flash_fastboot_partition_kernel
* flash_fastboot_partition_system
This is useful for devices with dual partitioning that have boot_a
and boot_b.
This allows embedding multiple firmware binaries into SD images.
Firmware images for most devices that require this functionality consist
mainly of u-boot, but some devices (e.g. librem5) have multiple firmware
images that need to be embedded in the SD image created by pmbootstrap.
This functionality uses two new deviceinfo parameters:
- deviceinfo_sd_embed_firmware: a comma-separated list of
binary:offset (where binary is under /usr/share/firmware)
- deviceinfo_sd_embed_firmware_step_size: The number of bytes for
each increment of the offset specified in the
deviceinfo_sd_embed_firmware (typically 1024 or 2048)
deviceinfo_write_uboot_spl has been obsoleted by these new parameters.
deviceinfo_codneame holds the device's code name, so we can easily look
it up in the finished postmarketOS installation by reading
/etc/deviceinfo.

Make it possible to point the pmaports dir to an existing repository
clone, while not having to give the --aports/-p parameter with every
command.
pmbootstrap --aports=/my/pmaports/path init
If the config file exists already, the dir can also be set with:
pmbootstrap config aports /my/pmaports/path
