100% tested. Assuming that you don't need to test an obvious change, because it only changes one line is dangerous. I will learn from this, sorry for the inconvenience. `gcc-armhf` compiles fine again with that change, and it is able to cross-compile packages as it used to. |

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.
