* pmbootstrap init: Generate new port device- and linux-package * adds `pmbootstrap aportgen device-*` and `pmbootstrap aportgen linux-*` * ask for confirmation when selecting a non-existing device * generate the packages directly from init * refactor aportgen code * fixed some easy things in the linux- APKBUILD (more to come in follow-up PRs!) Testing: * Test all questions to the user from pmb.config.init and pmb.aportgen.device (except for the timezone question, because we would need to monkeypatch the os.path.exists() function, which messes up pytest, so we'd need to refactor the timezone function to be more testsuite friendly first) * Run the device wizard in a testcase a few times and check the output, that pmbootstrap.aportgen.device and pmbootstrap.aportgen.linux create by parsing the resulting APKBUILDs and deviceinfo and checking its contents. * Build the generated device package once in the same testcase Thanks a lot to @drebrez for all the help with this one: <https://github.com/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap/pull/821> See also the updated porting guide: <https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Porting_to_a_new_device> |

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_64oraarch64)- 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)
- 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 provide a USB network interface, which we request an IP from, and telnet into to open the full-disk encryption on the main system partition:
$ dhclient -v enp0s20f0u1
$ telnet 172.16.42.1
Trying 172.16.42.1...
Connected to 172.16.42.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
Enter passphrase for /dev/mapper/mmcblk0p25p2:
Connection closed by foreign host.
Once the partition has been unlocked it is possible to connect via SSH:
$ ssh user@172.16.42.1
Development
Testing
Install pytest (via your package manager or pip) and run it inside the pmbootstrap folder.
