Since PR #1247 we are using the virtual package `.pmbootstrap` to mark packages as not explcitly installed. In case `pmbootstrap` doesn't finish the installation because of a bug, the `.pmbootstrap` virtual package may not get uninstalled. As virtual packages don't have the "timestamp" attribute set in the package database (which indicates when the package was built), the APKINDEX parser fails to parse them. Changes: * pmb.parse.apkindex.parse_next_block(): don't require the "timestamp" attribute to be set (but the arch attribute instead, which is always present) * pmb.parse.apkindex.parse(): when a block does not have a `timestamp` attribute, skip it, because it must be a virtual package. * add test cases for both functions with a package database that contains a virtual package. |

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.
