apk.installed(): Retuns all packages and versions now
pmb.chroot.apk.installed() used to return only the explicitly installed
packages. This is not good enough for the initfs check functions (and
especially for the "lazy reproducible builds", from which branch this
commit was cherry picked).

This commit introduces more noise for the logfile - if this becomes
a problem, raise your voice in the issues tracker and we'll do something
about it.

(This commit also changes minor code styling in other files, I did
not run autopep8 last time, because flake8 didn't complain...)

README.md

pmbootstrap

Sophisticated chroot/build/flash tool to develop and install postmarketOS.

Static code analysis status: travis badge

Requirements

  • GNU/Linux
  • Python 3
  • OpenSSL

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 --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 heimdall: Build the "heimdall" package (specify any package from the aports-folder here).

./pmbootstrap.py build heimdall --arch=armhf: Build the "heimdall" 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.
