In order to get cross-compilers, we generate a few aports (e.g.
binutils-armhf, gcc-armhf) automatically from Alpine's aports.
pmbootstrap was already able to perform a git checkout of Alpine's
aports repository. But it needed to be manually updated. Otherwise
the `pmbootstrap aportgen` command could actually downgrade the aport
instead of updating it to the current version.
After thinking about adding a dedicated pmbootstrap command for
updating git repositories, I thought it would be better to not open
that can of worms (pmbootstrap as general git wrapper? no thanks).
The solution implemented here compares the upstream aport version of
the git checkout of a certain package (e.g. gcc for gcc-armhf) with the
version in Alpine's binary package APKINDEX. When the aport version is
lower than the binary package version, it shows the user how to update
the git repository with just one command:
pmbootstrap chroot --add=git --user -- \
git -C /mnt/pmbootstrap-git/aports_upstream pull
Changes:
* `pmb.aportgen.core.get_upstream_aport()`: new function, that returns
the absolute path to the upstream aport on disk, after checking the
version of the aport against the binary package.
* Use that new function in pmb.aportgen.gcc and pmb.aportgen.binutils
* New function `pmb.helpers.repo.alpine_apkindex_path()`: updates the
APKINDEX if necessary and returns the absolute path to the APKINDEX.
This code was basically present already, but not as function, so now
we have a bit less overhead there.
* `pmbootstrap chroot`: new `--user` argument
* `pmb.parse.apkbuild`: make pkgname check optional, as it fails with
the official gcc APKBUILD before we modify it (the current APKBUILD
parser is not meant to be perfect, as this would require a full shell
parsing implementation).
* Extended `test_aportgen.py` and enabled it by default in
`testcases_fast.sh`. Previously it was disabled due to traffic
concerns (cloning the aports repo, but then again we do a full KDE
plasma mobile installation in Travis now, so that shouldn't matter
too much).
* `testcases_fast.sh`: With "test_aport_in_sync_with_git" removed
from the disabled-by-default list (left over from timestamp based
rebuilds), there were no more test cases disabled by default. I've
changed it, so now the qemu_running_processes test case is disabled,
and added an `--all` parameter to the script to disable no test
cases. Travis runs with the `--all` parameter while it's useful to
do a quick local test without `--all` in roughly 2 minutes instead of
10.
* `aports/cross/binutils-*`: Fix `_mirror` variable to point to current
default Alpine mirror (so the aportgen testcase runs through).

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.
