* As discussed in IRC/matrix, we're removing `linux-postmarketos-lts`
for now. The kernel isn't used right now, and we save lots of
maintenance effort with not updating it every week or so.
* new config option `"kernel"` with possible values:
`"downstream", "mainline", "stable"` (downstream is always
`linux-$devicename`)
* ask for the kernel during `pmbootstrap init` if the device package
has kernel subpackages and install it in `_install.py`
* postmarketos-mkinitfs: display note instead of exit with error when
the `deviceinfo_dtb` file is missing (because we expect it to be
missing for downstream kernels)
* device-sony-amami:
* add kernel subpackages for downstream, mainline
* set `deviceinfo_dtb`
* device-qemu-amd64: add kernel subpackages for stable, lts, mainline
* test cases and test data for new functions
* test case that checks all aports for right usage of the feature:
* don't mix specifying kernels in depends *and* subpackages
* 1 kernel in depends is maximum
* kernel subpackages must have a valid name
* Test if devices packages reference at least one kernel
* Remove `_build_device_depends_note()` which informs the user that
`--ignore-depends` can be used with device packages to avoid building
the kernel. The idea was to make the transition easier after a change
we did months ago, and now the kernel doesn't always get built before
building the device package so it's not relevant anymore.
* pmb/chroot/other.py:
* Add autoinstall=True to kernel_flavors_installed(). When the flag
is set, the function makes sure that at least one kernel for the
device is installed.
* Remove kernel_flavor_autodetect() function, wherever it was used,
it has been replaced with kernel_flavors_installed()[0].
* pmb.helpers.frontend.py: remove code to install at least one kernel,
kernel_flavors_installed() takes care of that now.
The creates the linux-postmarketos package which for now supports the n900 (and probably the other maemo devices) and qemu with the vexpress-a9 machine simulation.
I've put the generated dtbs in /usr/share/dtb for now and set the dtb field in the deviceinfo for the n900 and my new qemu device.
* Introduced linux-postmarketos-omap
* Unified kernel progress
* Created kernel bootable with qemu
* Updated n900 deviceinfo for generic kernel
* Changed qemu device to vexpress
* Updated APK comments and added linux-postmarketos-dev package
* Append dtb in mkinitfs
* Fixed bootscript on n900 for the generic kernel
* Don't detect double flavors with -dtb appending
* Added graphics drivers for vexpress (qemu)
* Added more drivers for qemu
This adds virtio network support in qemu for the vexpress-a9 machine.
The keyboard and mouse don't work yet.
You can boot into weston if --no-fde is specified
* pmb/challenge/apk.py had to be renamed to pmb/challenge/apk_file.py,
so the "internal" functions of that file could be accessed, while
still providing the short notation pmb.challenge.apk().
* zap asks for each buildroot_* chroot, if you want to remove it, not
only for the one with the device arch
* add new pmb.chroot.tempfolder() function, that creates a temporary
folder, that belongs to "user" and deletes it, if it already exists.
this function gets used in a few challenge testcases.
* 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
