...instead of running apk every time to get the list of installed packages and their versions. The internal package database from apk has the same format, as the extracted APKINDEX file (except that it has more key-value pairs, which we ignore/do not need right now). So the APKINDEX code has been extended to parse both tar-packed APKINDEX files and regular text files in the APKINDEX format. This is required for #108, for a better detection of outdated packages (because the internal package database saves the package's timestamp, too). A nice benefit is, that this is faster than calling apk every time and it doesn't fill up the log as much. I've also used this improved function for determining the apk version (for the outdated version check), and I've deleted pmb.parse.other.package_split(), as it is not needed anymore. |

Usage
Check out the porting guide for a practical start!
Run ./pmbootstrap.py init first, to select a target device and the work folder, which will contain all the chroots and other data.
After that, you can run any command. All dependencies (e.g. chroots) will be installed automatically, if they are not available yet.
Here are some examples:
./pmbootstrap.py --help:
List all available commands
./pmbootstrap.py log:
Run tail -f on the logfile, which contains detailed output. Do this in a second terminal, while executing another pmbootstrap command to get all the details.
./pmbootstrap.py chroot:
Open a shell inside a native Alpine Linux chroot (~6 MB install size).
./pmbootstrap.py chroot -- ls -l /home/user
Execute ls -l /home/user inside the chroot. Make sure, that you use -- before the command, so all following options (e.g. -l) do not get interpreted by pmbootstrap, but passed correctly to your command.
./pmbootstrap.py chroot --suffix=buildroot_armhf:
Open a shell inside an armhf Alpine Linux chroot, with qemu user mode emulation and binfmt support automatically set up.
./pmbootstrap.py build hello-world:
Build the "hello-world" package (specify any package from the aports-folder here).
./pmbootstrap.py build hello-world --arch=armhf:
Build the "hello-world" package for armhf inside the armhf chroot, with the cross-compiler installed in the native chroot (chroots are connected via distcc).
./pmbootstrap.py install:
Generate a system image file with a full postmarketOS installation. All required packages get built first, if they do not exist yet. You will get asked for the "user" password and the root partition password.
./pmbootstrap.py install --sdcard=/dev/mmcblk0:
Format and partition the SD card /dev/mmcblk0, and put a full postmarketOS installation on it
Testsuite
Simply install pytest (via your package manager or via pip) and run it inside the pmbootstrap folder.
