This addresses #246 by not storing the aports directory in the config
file. The default location is still available (from config/__init__.py),
and can be overridden.
TLDR: Always rebuild/install packages when something changed when executing "pmbootstrap install/initfs/flash", more speed in dependency resolution.
---
pmbootstrap has already gotten some support for "timestamp based rebuilds", which modifies the logic for when packages should be rebuilt. It doesn't only consider packages outdated with old pkgver/pkgrel combinations, but also packages, where a source file has a newer timestamp, than the built package has.
I've found out, that this can lead to more rebuilds than expected. For example, when you check out the pmbootstrap git repository again into another folder, although you have already built packages. Then all files have the timestamp of the checkout, and the packages will appear to be outdated. While this is not largely a concern now, this will become a problem once we have a binary package repository, because then the packages from the binary repo will always seem to be outdated, if you just freshly checked out the repository.
To combat this, git gets asked if the files from the aport we're looking at are in sync with upstream, or not. Only when the files are not in sync with upstream and the timestamps of the sources are newer, a rebuild gets triggered from now on.
In case this logic should fail, I've added an option during "pmbootstrap init" where you can enable or disable the "timestamp based rebuilds" option.
In addition to that, this commit also works on fixing #120: packages do not get updated in "pmbootstrap install" after they have been rebuilt. For this to work, we specify all packages explicitly for abuild, instead of letting abuild do the resolving. This feature will also work with the "timestamp based rebuilds".
This commit also fixes the working_dir argument in pmb.helpers.run.user, which was simply ignored before.
Finally, the performance of the dependency resolution is faster again (when compared to the current version in master), because the parsed apkbuilds and finding the aport by pkgname gets cached during one pmbootstrap call (in args.cache, which also makes it easy to put fake data there in testcases).
The new dependency resolution code can output lots of verbose messages for debugging by specifying the `-v` parameter. The meaning of that changed, it used to output the file names where log messages come from, but no one seemed to use that anyway.
* Fix: Do not swallow traces when crashing before log init (e.g.
during argument parsing)
* Show a link to the troubleshooting page, when an error happens
* (Formatting done by autopep8 in pmb/config/init.py)
Previously, if you passed something like ~/build to the init function
for work directory, it would create a directory, .\~/ in the current
working directory instead of resolving ~/ to the user's home directory.
This allow allows using ../ to specify a path.
The `cli.ask` command would forcibly lowercase the whole string. This
made the script unusable on a non-FHS-compliant system, like mine, where
the users's directories are under `/Users/`.
