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.
* Write custom os-release (closes#324)
* Return empty string instead of crashing when the directory is not a git repository
* Use https in homepage URL
* 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.
* Packaged libsparse
libsparse from the Android project provides multiple tools like img2simg
and simg2img.
These are used to split a large image for the system partition into
separate smaller chunks with sparse headers
This is required for several devices (at least bullhead, fp2 and titan)
because it fixes the "Invalid sparse file format at header magi" error
https://github.com/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap/issues/299
* Added new variable deviceinfo_flash_sparse (fixes#299)
Right after the system image is generated, pmbootstrap checks this
variable. In case it is true, run img2simg on it
* motorola-titan: enable deviceinfo_flash_sparse
* libsparse: use source from github: anestisb/android-simg2img
It is not that easy to use the upstream archive because everytime
you download it, the files have the current date as creation date
and that makes the file have a different checksum every download
https://github.com/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap/pull/303#issuecomment-319017197
I've realized that truncate is provided by busybox anyway, so no
need to install coreutils for this.
This should fix creating system image files on ZFS, where fallocate
is not implemented.
* Various improvements for 'pmbootstrap export' (Fix#232)
* Do not try to generate the system image, but print a notice that
it was not generated yet
* Display export path
* New default path: /tmp/postmarketOS-export (instead of current
working dir)
* Create the export folder, if it does not exist yet
* Prettier output in the export message
* Adjust export message in install for consistency
* Validate all inputs from `pmbootstrap init`
* Add a new `confirm()` function, that validates input of yes/no
questions properly
* All questions loop until they have a valid answer now
Thanks, craftyguy!
- UI is selectable with `pmbootstrap init`. Currently only 'weston' and 'none' are options. It'll automatically pick up any new `postmarketos-ui-*` packages added at later dates.
- splits off weston packages install from postmarketos-base and puts
them into postmarketos-ui-weston. Also note that NO weston packages are
installed by "pmbootstrap install" by default unless the user selects a ui in the `init`
- configuration of weston is now in postmarketos-ui-weston.
- the demos have been spun off to `postmarketos-demos`, and `postmarketos-ui-weston` lists this package as a dependency.
Thanks, cmdr2! Here's the text from his PR:
Fixes an issue on alpine-vanilla, where `/dev/loop` is a directory (containing `/dev/loop/0`, `/dev/loop/1` ..etc), and causes `./pmbootstrap install` to fail.
Ignoring the `/dev/loop` directory works because `/dev/` also contains files named `/dev/loop0`, `/dev/loop1` ..etc, which the new code will still pick up.
The `install` command passes after this fix on my alpine-vanilla.
* allows to build/extract/list initramfs, add/del hook
* rebuild the initfs whenever running install or trying to flash/boot it
* flasher flash/boot: automatically set up a minimal rootfs with kernel and initfs,
if it does not exist yet
pmb.chroot.apk.installed() used to return only the explicitly installed
packages. This is not good enough for the initfs check functions (and
especially for the "lazy reproducible builds", from which branch this
commit was cherry picked).
This commit introduces more noise for the logfile - if this becomes
a problem, raise your voice in the issues tracker and we'll do something
about it.
(This commit also changes minor code styling in other files, I did
not run autopep8 last time, because flake8 didn't complain...)
* 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
