If a user has a restrictive umask (for example 0077) set, it will be
inherited to sudo and thus files created with sudo where not readable by
the normal user. In that case, when setting up a new chroot, the
etc/apk/repositories file would have umask 600 and a os.path.exists()
(in update_repository_list) would return false. Setting the umask to 022
(octal) first, results in world readable files and directories, so the
user running `./pmbootstrap.py install` can read them.
This adds a new deviceinfo 'flash_fastboot_max_size' used for
preventing fastboot from flashing a system partition that is too
large. Some devices do not support flashing over a certain size
(e.g. 500MB).
When not specifying an architecture for `pmbootstrap build`, and the `APKBUILD`
says that it can't be built for the native arch, it gets built for the right
foreign arch. `pmbootstrap` did not properly detect if packages were already
built in that case, and tried to build them again.
(I've noticed that while building packages for the binary repo #871.)
Use any `linux-` package, that is not available for `x86_64` on a `x86_64` PC
and build it twice. It should get properly detected now:
```shell
pmbootstrap build linux-amazon-thor
pmbootstrap build linux-amazon-thor # should not get built again
```
The mesa driver, which ends up in the installation image, needs to be known
before the installation is done (in other words: when running the qemu action,
it is to late as the image has already been generated). That's why one can
choose the Qemu mesa driver in `pmbootstrap init` now:
```
Device [qemu-amd64]:
Which mesa driver do you prefer for your Qemu device? Only select something other
than the default if you are having graphical problems (such as glitches).
Mesa driver (dri-swrast/dri-virtio) [dri-virtio]:
```
It is still possible to select `dri-swrast`, because `dri-virtio` may not work
in all cases, and that way we could easily debug it or experiment with other
mesa drivers (e.g. the "vmware" one, which is supported by mesa and Qemu).
Other changes:
* `pmbootstrap qemu` accepts a `--display` variable now, which passes the value
directly to `qemu`'s `display` option. It defaults to `sdl,gl=on` (@PureTryOut
reported that to work best with plasma mobile on his PC). `--display` and
`--spice` (which is still working) are mutually exclusive.
* Removed obsolete telnet port pass-through: We only use the debug telnet port
since osk-sdl has been merged.
* Add show-cursor to the Qemu command line, so it shows a cursor in X11
* Refactored the spice code (`command_spice` only returns the spice command,
because it has all necessary information already) and the spice port can be
specified on the commandline now (previously it was hardcoded in one place and
then always looked up from there).
* Start comments with capital letters.
* Keep the log on the screen a bit shorter (e.g. Qemu command is written to the
"pmbootstrap log" anyway, so there's no need to display it again).
* linux-postmarketos-stable: Adjust kernel configs
x86_64, armhf: enable as modules:
CONFIG_DRM_VIRTIO_GPU, CONFIG_VIRTIO_PCI, CONFIG_VIRTIO_BALLOON
aarch64: all 3 options were already enabled as built-in (no change)
* Set '-vga virtio' for mesa-dri-virtio
This removes any existing symlinks (which always seem to be broken when
this is encountered) to <workdir>/chroot_native/etc/apk/cache before
creating the symlink.
* pmbootstrap init: Generate new port device- and linux-package
* adds `pmbootstrap aportgen device-*` and
`pmbootstrap aportgen linux-*`
* ask for confirmation when selecting a non-existing device
* generate the packages directly from init
* refactor aportgen code
* fixed some easy things in the linux- APKBUILD (more to come in
follow-up PRs!)
Testing:
* Test all questions to the user from pmb.config.init and pmb.aportgen.device
(except for the timezone question, because we would need to monkeypatch the
os.path.exists() function, which messes up pytest, so we'd need to refactor
the timezone function to be more testsuite friendly first)
* Run the device wizard in a testcase a few times and check the output, that
pmbootstrap.aportgen.device and pmbootstrap.aportgen.linux create by parsing
the resulting APKBUILDs and deviceinfo and checking its contents.
* Build the generated device package once in the same testcase
Thanks a lot to @drebrez for all the help with this one:
<https://github.com/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap/pull/821>
See also the updated porting guide:
<https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Porting_to_a_new_device>
* Add architecture argument for the buildroot chroot, defaults to device architecture
* Output pmbootstrap log file after failure to debug Travis failure
* Travis: disable timestamp based rebuilds
This caused builds to fail with a modern GCC at least once, and while it originally was meant as
security feature by Qualcomm, "it is unsupported by Qualcomm, and opens up to a wide range
of potential attack surfaces that has not been audited by anyone."
The conflict happens, when we're on rc-1, the old naming only contains the target version, so there will be two file named `postmarketos-linux-mainline-4.15-rc1.patch`: one that updates the kernel from the latest stable, and one empty.
* XFCE4/Hildon: Log to syslog, see also:
<https://github.com/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap/pull/762>
* Fix XFCE4 didn't start in qemu-amd64, because it required
libEGL.so.1, which is provided by mesa-egl. This is a dependency
of device-qemu-amd64-x11 now. (It worked for Hildon and Weston,
because they pull mesa-egl in with other packages.)
