Fix invalid /etc/apk/repositories entry on device (#1189)
It used to have an entry for /mnt/pmbootstrap-packages, which only
makes sense while working on the chroot with pmbootstrap. After the
installation on the device, there's no repo in that path.
Furthermore, empty lines were added to the recovery installer script
for readability (thanks @ata2001!)

Introduction | Security Warning | Supported Devices | travis badge | Coverage status

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

For in-depth information please refer to the postmarketOS wiki.

Requirements

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.
