Translate the pmaports channels "stable" to "v20.05" and "stable-next"
to "v21.03", so these have the same channel name as the pmaports.git
branch name.
The original plan was to switch the "stable" channel from the "v20.05"
branch to the "v21.03" branch when the release is done. However, now
that we are close to that, I'm realizing that this would not be useful.
It would lead to conflicts in the dir with locally built packages
(default: ~/.local/var/pmbootstrap/packages/$CHANNEL). And it would make
it awkward to go back to a previous branch (we may name it old-stable
for the time being, but what after that, old-old-stable?).
Unmaintained devices are device packages that:
- Are known to be broken in some way without an active maintainer
who can investigate how to fix it, or
- Have not received any updates for a very long time, or
- Are discouraged from using because they are just intended for testing.
An example for this are ports using the downstream kernel for devices
which have a mainline port that is working quite well.
Unmaintained devices are still built by bpo (otherwise it would not make
sense to keep them), but they do not show up in "pmbootstrap init".
However, it is possible to manually select them by entering the name.
pmbootstrap will warn in that case.
Unmaintained packages should have a # Unmaintained: <reason> comment
in the APKBUILD, this comment is displayed in "pmbootstrap init"
so that the user knows why the device should not be used unless they
know what they are doing.
Adds a list of locales user can choose from on init step.
If locale isn't default, then "lang" package is installed
and LANG is changed to the chosen locale.
Many of pmbootstrap's actions require root rights. When after requesting
sudo access pmbootstrap takes longer than the sudo timeout interval to finish
execution, the password will have to be entered again on the next sudo
action.
This change adds an opt-in feature to run sudo -v in a background loop
in order to prevent having to enter the password more than once for a single
pmbootstrap run. The loop runs as a daemon timer which automatically gets
canceled when pmbootstrap exits.
Closes: #1677
This adds a new commandline flag -E / --extra-space for
specifying the amount of additional space to be added to
the image size to work around cases where the automatically
determined size turns out to not actually be enough.
The value is also asked for in the "Additional options"
section of the interactive mode.
Fixes: #1904
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.
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").
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.
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.

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.
Do not install git in the native chroot and use it from there. Remove the
chown_to_user argument from pmb.helpers.git.clone(), the resulting dir
is now always owned by the user. While at it, refactor the function and
display the clone URL.
Previously we had cloned aports_upstream (from Alpine) with
chown_to_user=False (legacy) and pmaports with chown_to_user=True.
pmb.helpers.git.rev_parse() would only work after chown_to_user=True.
Check if git is installed in "pmbootstrap init", and remove the same
check from rev_parse(). Add a new work dir version, that checks for git
and changes ownership of already checked out aports_upstream to the
host system's user.
When creating a new work dir, create cache_git instead of cache_http.
cache_http is created on demand already, with proper permissions. But
cache_git must be created, otherwise pmb.helpers.mount.bind will create it
as root.
This is in preparation for the "pmbootstrap pull" feature, as it allows
using the host system's git in all new code paths. We will be able to
handle repositories even if they were cloned outside of the work dir
(which we do in a few CI scripts for example).

When running pmbootstrap init, first select device vendor, then device
codename. Also fixed tests for new behavior and added some new ones for
new scenarios.

Rename pmb.helpers.devices.list() to
pmb.helpers.devices.list_codenames(). Python already has a list()
function, so we name our function to make the calls to the codenames
listing function inside pmb/helpers/devices.py less confusing.
Make it possible to point the pmaports dir to an existing repository
clone, while not having to give the --aports/-p parameter with every
command.
pmbootstrap --aports=/my/pmaports/path init
If the config file exists already, the dir can also be set with:
pmbootstrap config aports /my/pmaports/path
Prior to this commit, it was possible to type in packages with a
trailing comma in `pmbootstrap init` when asked for extra packages.
This leads to problems during `pmbootstrap install`, so now we disallow
it. Fixes#1540.
* 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.
As noted in commit 255c715624
`/var/cache/distfiles` is writable by everyone. It is supposed to be
writable only by `root` and by the `abuild` group (in which we put the
`pmos` user already for building packages).
Changes:
* `pmb.build.init()`: make `/var/cache/distfiles` writable only by
members of the `abuild` group (and root)
* Increase workfolder version to 2
* Add migration code that fixes the permissions for existing work
folders
* Refactor the migration code a bit to make this possible
* Save "" (empty string) in the user's config as hostname if the user
let it default to the name of the device. That way, when the device
gets changed, the user won't get the old device's name as hostname
by accident.
* Add a test case
Here are the changes necessary in pmbootstrap to make proprietary
software installed onto the device (firmware and userspace drivers)
optional (#756). To full close the issue, we need to apply this concept
to all device packages we already have in a follow-up PR.
Changes:
* New config file options nonfree_firmware and nonfree_userland, which
we ask for during "pmbootstrap init" if there are non-free components
for the selected device.
* We find that out by checking the APKBUILD's subpakages: The non-free
packages are called $pkgname-nonfree-firmware and
$pkgname-nonfree-userland.
* During "pmbootstrap init" we also show the pkgdesc of these
subpackages. Parsing that is implemented in
pmb.parse._apkbuild.subpkgdesc(). It was not implemented as part of
the regular APKBUILD parsing, as this would need a change in the
output format, and it is a lot *less* code if done like in this
commit.
* pmb/parse/apkbuild.py was renamed to _apkbuild.py, and
pmb/install/install.py to _install.py: needed to call the function in
the usual way (e.g. pmb.parse.apkbuild()) but still being able to
test the individual functions from these files in the test suite.
We did the same thing for pmb/build/_package.py already.
* Install: New function get_nonfree_packages() returns the non-free
packages that will be installed, based on the user's choice in
"pmbootstrap init" and on the subpackages the device has.
* Added test cases and test data (APKBUILDs) for all new code,
refactored test/test_questions.py to have multiple functions for
testing the various questions / question types from
"pmbootstrap init" instead of having it all in one big function.
This allows to use another aport folder for testing the new
non-free related questions in init.
If you want to build a package without changing the version number,
please use `--force` from now on. For example:
pmbootstrap build --force hello-world
Prior to this commit, changes were detected automatically (timestamp
based rebuilds). However, that feature does not work as expected with
the binary package repository we have now, and depending on how you use
git, it has never worked. Close#1167, close#1156, close#1023 and
close#985. This commit also mentions --force when a package is up to date,
but the user requested to build it.
* Don't ask for the mesa driver when the Qemu arch is not the
native arch and always use swrast in that case
* qemu-vexpress: use LTS kernel
* qemu-aarch64: use drm-backend for weston
