pmOS cannot boot without these two. There was recently someone in the
unofficial postmarketOS Telegram group who used some minimal config and
couldn't figure out why the initramfs couldn't start up, and these
options being disabled turned out to be the culprit. As such, let's
ensure these are enabled to make life easier for people setting up new
kernel configurations.

Always set GOCACHE during build and let it point to pmbootstrap's work
dir. This has a similar effect as using ccache for C/C++.
Set GOMODCACHE conditionally: this is for caching the go modules (git
repositories) that get cloned during a build if they are not bundled
with the source. Usually APKBUILDs should cache them, but when using
pmbootstrap build --src, they would get downloaded over and over again.
Set GOMODCACHE automatically for --src and allow enabling/disabling this
manually with new --go-mod-cache / --no-go-mod-cache.
This speeds up multiple iterations of building the same package
significantly. I'm using it for:
$ pmbootstrap build postmarketos-mkinitfs --src=...
I've verified that using the same GOCACHE dir for multiple architectures
doesn't result in build artifacts for the wrong arch getting used.

Instead of letting the mount -t binfmt_misc … command fail, and simply
telling the user that the command failed: rely on the following check
that prints a better error message on error. If it fails at this point,
the kernel option isn't enabled. Add two comments explaining why
check=False is used in this function while at it.

Recent changes to qemu and Alpine packaging now require using the
virtio-vga-gl device and installing -gl packages to get virglrenderer
support.
Without this, wlroots fails to get an EGL context (among other problems
you'd expect by not having a useful GPU around...)

Running abuild on the host directly creates directories in the
aport where it gets built. Interrupting abuild results in those
working-dirs not getting deleted.
We don't want to copy those entries to our builder.
It's only really noticeable if pmbootstrap tries to copy a broken
symlink in src/ and thus fails.

You can either say you want all scripts, or give a list of script names,
not both. Add it this way and not with an add_mutually_exclusive_group,
as I'll add a add_mutually_exclusive_group in the next patch to only
specify --all or --fast, but having --fast with script names is fine.

Currently when any device does not conform to the options they declare,
we fail the whole kconfig check.
Now that we start requiring more options, especially with
pmb:kconfigcheck-community it makes sense to relax these restrictions so
we're more free to edit kconfig options and don't have to adjust all
testing devices that may or may not be properly maintained.
As a side effect this patch makes it practically impossible to make
kconfig check actually fail for any testing device which might not be
optimal. If these use cases appear in the future we will want to adjust
pmbootstrap to allow for that.

Adjust to avbtool now being part of android-tools in alpine edge.
Instead of trying to install both (which fails on edge), take the
dependencies from a new pmaports.cfg variable
supported_fastboot_depends, which only contains android-tools in

The typical workflow for upgrading cross/gcc-* is:
$ cd pmaports/cross
$ pmbootstrap aportgen gcc-*
Currently this is failing because the APKBUILD has been updated in
Alpine for gcc, but gcc has not been built for all arches yet. This
shouldn't prevent us from generating the proper updated APKBUILDs in
pmaports so just print a note and don't fail here.
I'm committing this directly to master as this currently breaks
test/test_aportgen.py::test_aportgen.
On qemu-system-riscv64 the -nic option doesn't seem to work correctly.

Using -netdev and -device provides the same functionality and also works

Encode < as %3C and > as %3E in the linkmask. This gets used in the
"Link: ..." line written to commit messages. Reasoning is that at least
gnome-terminal will break the link at the < otherwise, making it harder
to right click and copy the link to paste it into another VM to open it
in a browser. That's how everybody does it, right?
Use %% instead of % for proper escaping with python's %-formatting.
Add a config, so the 'b4' tool from kernel tools can be used to get

It's possible to set the default To: address and subject prefix in the

Commit d8f2f20186 removed
the requirement of selecting MEMCG_SWAP for Kernels >= 6.1.
However, it did not fully account for the behavior change,
as MEMCG_SWAP depends on both MEMCG and SWAP.

* Links in the top row point to some very old blog posts and to the
devices wiki page. Remove them, the first line has a link to
postmarketos.org where the user should be able to get all relevant
information about postmarketOS if they don't know this project.
* "Package build scripts live in the pmaports repository now.", this
was useful shortly after we made the change, but it has been like this
for years now. Again, the postmarketOS homepage lists where other
related source code is, in case the user doesn't know.
* 2 GB of RAM recommened for compiling: this was a rule of thumb for
when all postmarketOS packages had to be compiled from source. This is
not the case anymore, we have a binary repository. Depending on which
package you want to compile, you don't need as much RAM. And some
users who just want to run 'pmbootstrap install' don't need to build
anything at all. I think this is more confusing than helpful, so
remove it.
* Kernels based on grsec patchset are not supported. I don't think
anyone will try this, this was more relevant when the patchset was
still distributed freely and you could actually use it in Alpine
Linux (by default even?) and Arch Linux. An artefact of the past.
Add a new command that makes running CI scripts easy. The user goes to
the git repository of choice, which has CI scripts written in a certain
format, and then runs 'pmbootstrap ci' to get an interactive selection
of which of the available scripts to run (or "all"). Specifying one or
multiple scripts on the command-line is also possible, e.g.
$ pmbootstrap ci flake8
$ pmbootstrap ci shellcheck flake8 pytest
$ pmbootstrap ci --all
pmbootstrap then either runs the selected scripts in a chroot (and
installs dependencies as defined at the beginning of the CI scripts), or
natively (with checks inside the scripts for having dependencies
installed). Running natively is needed for .ci/pytest.sh in this
pmbootstrap.git repository, as pmbootstrap can't run inside pmbootstrap.
Running natively or in chroot is defined in an "# Options: " comment
inside the script file.
Documentation for this command and how script files look like:
https://postmarketos.org/pmb-ci
Replace .gitlab-ci.yml with a minimal .build.yml that runs a script in
the .ci dir for each task. Each of these scripts runs as root first,
installs dependencies, and then drops rights to the testuser and runs
the actual test. I went with this design, so we can add a
'pmbootstrap ci' command in following patches that run these in a
pmbootstrap chroot (see pmaports#2169).
Looking at flake8, we currently ignore W504 and W604. Would be nice to
fix these instead, but let's do that in another patch.
I've added a minver package to Alpine, so we don't need to install it
form pip anymore. Use minver's new --lint argument to simplify the
script, and as recommended by minver itself, use --no-parse-comments as
speed optimization since we don't have minver specific comments.
Using doas instead of sudo in build.yml would be nice, but this doesn't
work out of the box. Can be changed in the future.
Add a note to the pytest script, that 'pmbootstrap log' can be used to
follow the log while tests are running.
