pmbootstrap does dependency resolving on its own, and passes the list of resolved packages to apk when we want it to install something. The reason was outlined in #129: > fixing #120: packages do not get updated in "pmbootstrap install" > after they have been rebuilt. For this to work, we specify all > packages explicitly for abuild, instead of letting abuild do the > resolving. This new PR fixes #1212 (which noted that all of these dependencies were explicitly marked for installation) by doing the following: 1. All packages and dependencies get attached to the virtual package .pmbootstrap instead of world 2. We install the packages (without depends) explcitly 3. .pmbootstrap gets removed, which means that all packages from 1. stay installed, but are no longer marked as explicitly installed. They will get removed automatically, when the depending packages get removed. In addition, the mechanism for replacing the package of locally built packages with their full path, was broken and has been fixed in this commit. This is necessary to update packages of the same version with apk. |

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
,x86_64
, oraarch64
)- 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)
- On Alpine Linux only:
apk add coreutils
- 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 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.
