Let UI meta-packages specify apps in "pmb_recommends" to be explicitly
installed by default, and not implicitly as dependency of the UI
meta-package ("depends"). Therefore make these apps uninstallable,
without removing the meta-package.
Add pmbootstrap install --no-recommends to disable this feature.
Add a question at the end of "pmbootstrap init", to ask if the user
wants to build outdated packages during "pmbootstrap install". Store the
result in the new pmbootstrap.cfg key "build_pkgs_on_install". I've put it at
the end, because it is a rather complicated question compared to the rest.
This is useful to speed up the installation for casual users who can now
avoid compiling packages. But also for the official images where we only
want to ship the official binary packages and not build anything
on-the-fly.
Put a minimum version check for postmarketos-ondev in the pmbootstrap
install code and verify it before starting the installation. This avoids
using incompatible versions, similar to the pmaports.cfg version check
we already have. Set the minimum required version to 0.2.0.
This made sense for Alpine's aports.git repository as we were only using
the master branch. But now that we are using more branches, we need the
entire git repository with all its branches cloned.
"Chassis" defines the what kind of device a device is. Currently the
following standardized types exist:
"desktop", "laptop", "convertible", "server", "tablet", "handset",
"watch", "embedded", "vm", "container"
This property is exposed by org.freedesktop.hostname1 (e.g.
openrc-settingsd) and can be used by applications for example to display
appropriate strings instead of "About this phone" for non-phone devices.
Migrate to workdir version 5 and move already built packages into the edge
channel subdir, for example:
$WORK/packages/x86_64/hello-world-1-r5.apk
to:
$WORK/packages/edge/x86_64/hello-world-1-r5.apk
The build.postmarketos.org code has already been adjusted to find built
packages in either directory structure.
Use mirrordir_pmos and mirrordir_alpine from channels.cfg to generate
the mirror URLs for postmarketOS and Alpine, which get written to
/etc/apk/repositories and which postmarketOS uses to download the
APKINDEX files.
Remove hardcoded "master" at the end of the postmarketOS mirror and use
mirrordir_pmos instead (which is "master" for the edge channel). Let the
postmarketOS mirror end in a '/' for consistency with the Alpine mirror
in pmb/config/__init__.py.
Remove obsolete --alpine-version. To experiment with a different Alpine
version, one should pass a custom --config-channels from now on.
Ask for release channel and switch pmaports branch to the related branch
defined in channels.cfg.
Store in pmbootstrap.cfg whether the user chose a channel (boolean). If
the user did not choose a channel yet, suggest the recommended channel
from channels.cfg (currently "edge").
Do not make the parsed pmaports.cfg from pmaports.git available as
args.pmaports anymore. This de-bloats the args variable a bit.
First I thought that we didn't even need to cache it, but it was pointed
out that later patches do access it frequently to read the current channel
from pmaports.cfg. Therefore it is using a cache now.

New pmaports.cfg has the "channel" key described in [1]. This will be
used in "pmbootstrap init" to determine on which release channel a
forked branch is.

Let apkbuild-lint check options again, and pass the pmbootstrap specific
options with the new CUSTOM_VALID_OPTIONS variable. Add a test case and
adjust pmb.helpers.lint.check to return the output of apkbuild-lint, so
we can properly test it.

Fixes: pmaports#553
The ui-extras questions will attempt to find a postmarketos-ui-<ui>
package in pmaports. If the package does not exist as "root" APKBUILD
it currently attempts to parse all APKBUILDs in case it is somewhere
defined as a subpackage. This is really slow (up to 2-3 seconds),
which feels weird during "pmbootstrap init".
For the UI packages we specifically look for the root UI package,
not the subpackage, so let's skip searching for subpackages in this
case. This makes selecting the "none" UI nice and fast again.
At the moment we set samsung-i9100 as default device.
This is probably only for historical reasons.
For someone/something using pmbootstrap without a specific device in mind
(e.g. CI) it's really better to use a generic device. QEMU runs natively
in a virtual machine so everyone can use it for testing.
Flashes device vbmeta partition (can be overriden with
"flash_fastboot_partition_vbmeta" setting in deviceinfo)
with custom vbmeta.img which has verity flag disabled,
so device can boot postmarketOS with no problems.
Use the timestamp of .git/FETCH_HEAD in each git repository, to
determine if too much time has passed since the last fetch/pull.
Modify pmb.helpers.git.clone, so FETCH_HEAD is always created if it does
not exist (because "git clone" would not create it).

In the future, device ports will be located in a subdirectory
below device/... (e.g. device/testing/device-...).
Replace all occurrences of device/* with a glob that checks the
subdirectories instead.
Note: To ensure that this always works properly we should also add some
checks that all devices are indeed located under one of the supported
subdirectories (i.e. testing/community/main).
Change the glob for pmaports to <aports>/**/APKBUILD.
This allows using subdirectories for organization outside of device/
as well.
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.
Add new "pmbootstrap status" command, which does a quick health check
for the work dir. As first health check, verify that the chroots are not
too old. Replace the reminder text at the end of "pmbootstrap init" to
tell users to run "pmbootstrap status" instead of "pmbootstrap zap" once
a day before working with pmbootstrap.
Related: #1829
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).
Related: #1829
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.
