zap -m: * APKINDEX parsing: parse the "origin" field as well, so we know where a subpackage comes from * pmbootstrap zap -m: properly delete all packages, that do not have an aport or where the aport has another version. This also works with subpackages now, we use the origin field to resolve it. * Only reindex when packages have been deleted in "zap -m" zap in general: * Show the amount of cleared up space after the deletion instead of "Done" * Print "Shutdown complete" to "pmbootstrap log" instead of stdout (we need to call it twice during zap now to get the space calculation right) * Add `--dry` argument to `pmbootstrap zap` (this was very useful for debugging) to list the packages/chroots that would get deleted * Roughly output the command that would get executed to delete files, so it's obvious what's going on in --dry mode.

pmbootstrap
Introduction | Security Warning | Supported Devices | |
Sophisticated chroot/build/flash tool to develop and install postmarketOS.
For in-depth information please refer to the postmarketOS wiki.
Requirements
- 2 GB of RAM recommended for compiling
- Linux distribution (
x86_64
oraarch64
)- Windows subsystem for Linux (WSL) does not work! Please use VirtualBox instead.
- Kernels based on the grsec patchset do not work (Alpine: use linux-vanilla instead of linux-hardened, Arch: linux-hardened is not based on grsec)
- On Alpine Linux only:
apk add coreutils
- Python 3.4+
- OpenSSL
Usage
Assuming you have a supported device, you can build and flash a postmarketOS image by running through the following steps. For new devices check the porting guide.
First, clone the git repository and initialize your pmbootstrap environment:
$ git clone https://github.com/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap
$ cd pmbootstrap
$ ./pmbootstrap.py init
While running any pmbootstrap command, it's always useful to have a log open in a separate window where further details can be seen:
$ ./pmbootstrap.py log
It's now time to run a full build which will create the boot and system images:
$ ./pmbootstrap.py install
Once your device is connected and is ready to be flashed (e.g. via fastboot), you can run a flash of the kernel (boot) and system partitions:
$ ./pmbootstrap.py flasher flash_kernel
$ ./pmbootstrap.py flasher flash_system
After a reboot, the device will prompt for the full-disk encryption password, which you typed in the install step (unless you have disabled full-disk encryption with --no-fde
). Once the partition has been unlocked it is possible to connect via SSH:
$ dhclient -v enp0s20f0u1
$ ssh user@172.16.42.1
Development
Testing
Install pytest
(via your package manager or pip) and run it inside the pmbootstrap folder.
