Instead of trying both "${dev}1" and "${dev}p1" as partition paths, only
try one of them depending on if "${dev}" ends in a number or not. This
fixes getting a wrong /dev/loop11 partition by accident if there are
many loop devices, instead of only looking for the correct path
/dev/loop1p1. People reported this happening with snaps on ubuntu.
Stock bootloader on these devices boots kernel (it is intended to boot
kernel, but i place secondary bootloader there) from special ChromeOS
kernel partition on special GPT which is created with cgpt utility.
This MR adds initial support for it introducing new deviceinfo options:
- cgpt_kpart - path to file to be flashed to ChromeOS partition;
- cgpt_kpart_start - offset from the start in sectors;
- cgpt_kpart_size - partition size in sectors.
For example:
deviceinfo_cgpt_kpart="/usr/share/u-boot/google-peach-pit/u-boot-dtb.img.kpart"
deviceinfo_cgpt_kpart_start="8192"
deviceinfo_cgpt_kpart_size="32768"
cgpt requires start and size values of partition, so these values
are calculated for each partition.
Reserved size and on-device installer are not yet supported.

"Keeping track of which partition number is what is hard to understand now.
I think this should be refactored, so we have it defined only in one
place, and easy to read. Since this merge request increases the complexity
of the partitions again, let's do it here before merging." - Oliver

The PPP will, in combination with tow-boot, boot with GPT on the
internal storage. We need to support that on postmarketOS and as a first
step, let's make it possible to generate GPT images and boot from that
Calculate the end of the reserved space properly. Instead of:
from size_boot to size_reserve
it is:
from size_boot to (size_reserve + size_boot)
The reserved space is used by the on-device installer. Without this
patch, the reserved space could easily end up being too small, resulting
in no space left errors during the installation.
Made changes to limit the line length in following files for #1986,
- pmb/install/_install.py
- pmb/install/blockdevice.py
- pmb/install/losetup.py
- pmb/install/partition.py
Added the above files in E501 flake8 command list.
Substitute f-string for string concatenation.
Add comments to two functions, that if they are changed, the logic also
needs to be updated in ondev-preapre-internal-storage.sh of
postmarketos-ondev.git.
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.
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.
This adds a new deviceinfo parameter, 'boot_part_start' which accepts an
int and indicates the number of sectors from the start of the drive to
place the boot partition.
The librem5 devkit (and actual phone) u-boot has grown beyond the 2048
sector space previously before the boot partition, so this is necessary in
order to boot pmos on this device.
* Allow to specify a custom username in "pmbootstrap init"
* Build chroots have "pmos" instead of "user" as username now
* Installation user UID is 1000 now (as in all other Linux distributions)
* Adjust autologins
* postmarketos-base: enable wheel group for sudo, removed previous sudoers file
* Implement safe upgrade path:
We save the version of the work folder format now, in $WORK/version.
When this file does not exist, it defaults to 0.
In case it does not match the currently required version
(pmb.config.work_version), then ask the user if it should
automatically be upgraded.
Parted often succeeds, but then returns a non-zero exit code, because
it can not inform the kernel of the changes.
In most cases this is not even necessary, so it really should not
fail there.
When the error was fatal, pmbootstrap will crash shortly afterwards
when it tried to mount or run mkfs on the partition anyway.
* The system image size is now calculated as: root size - home size.
* New function in `pmb/helpers/other.py`: `folder_size()`, with a
testcase.
* Instead of copying everything to the system image folder, and
deleting the home folder afterwards, do not copy the home folder
in the first place.
* Added `pmbootstrap -s` to skip generating the initramfs for faster
debugging.
* Set the default value in the "are you sure, that your partition has
at least..." to "y", so we can run `yes '' | pmbootstrap install`
to make it run through the whole installation process.
* Increase full size to 120%, boot partition gets 15 MB free space now
* Automatically compute the minimum size for the partitions
* Automatically resize the pmOS_root partition during the boot process
* Resize root partition only if there is unallocated space at the end of the device.
* Added more echos to make debugging easier while looking at the pmOS_init.log.
* Updated static_code_analysis.sh script to run shellcheck with `-x` option.
* The check for valid sdcard paths has been removed (because it
doesn't make sense for /dev/sd*, this might as well be a real
harddrive)
* New check: abort if any partition of the sdcard is mounted
* Automatically detect if the partitions are called "p1", "p2" etc.
or just "1", "2" etc. (/dev/sda1 vs. /dev/mmcblk0p1)
* pmb.helpers.mount.ismount(): check the source (new) and the target
path in /proc/mounts
