This checks for /sys/modules/loop before modprobing the loop module. My
understanding is that if this module is built into the kernel, that this
directory is still created. For a kernel without loop built in,
losetup.py will try to load the module using modprobe.
* pmb.helpers.run: support running processes in background
* enable QXL driver support in the linux kernel configurations so
that we can also use SPICE to connect to the VM.
QXL is a paravirtual graphics driver with 2D support
The SPICE project aims to provide a complete open source solution for remote
access to virtual machines in a seamless way.
Both DRM_QXL and DRM_BOCHS are enabled as modules.
According to [1], on Linux guests, the qxl and bochs_drm kernel modules
must be loaded in order to gain a decent performance
* qemu: add new option --spice to connect to VM using a SPICE client
If specified, 'pmbootstrap qemu' will look for some SPICE client in the
user's PATH and run qemu using the QXL driver.
Currently supported spice clients are 'spicy' and 'remote-viewer' but
adding support for more clients can be easily done.
qemu with qxl support will run on port 8077/tcp, which doesn't belong to
any well-known service and represents 'PM' in decimal.

We check if origin/HEAD is present. In case that reference is
missing, we show a meaningful error message now, with an explanation
on how to add it. Also moved find_out_of_sync_files_tracked() to
pmb.helpers.git
This only displays the ssh key note if no keys are found, since it's
confusing if a user has 1 key but not the other. In that case, the
message would be displayed despite copying one of the keys over.
This happens currently, when a makedepend is invalid:
ERROR: UnboundLocalError: local variable 'pkgname' referenced before assignment
With this patch, you get the meaning full error that should have been printed instead:
ERROR: Could not find package 'invalid-package' in the aports folder and could not find it in any APKINDEX
This is a workaround for #429, until the iteration count can be
specified directly in cryptsetup.
* Add default iter-time option, and option to override
* set SHA1 default hash for luksFormat, add option to override
* [RX51] load omap-sham in initramfs for HW accel. sha1
* Check kernel config
* Allow specifying multiple kernel packages, and also no packages
which defaults to scanning all kernel configs (it is super fast
anyway)
* Add the check to Travis CI
* Adjust existing kernel configs, so they pass the kconfig_check.
(We've had to put in a lot of defaults in the aarch64
linux-postmarketos configs, that's why the diff is a bit unclean.)
* Increase modified kernel pkgrels
Contrary to abuild, pmbootstrap only installs makedepends, and
keeps the installed packages around - both hacks save lots of time.
However, they may introduce missing makedepends in the APKBUILDs,
that the authors of the APKBUILDs do not notice because it works
for them.
This PR adss a strict mode, which will always clean the chroots
before building a package, and also remove all installed dependencies
after the package was built. You can use the following syntax to
only zap once, but build many packages at once:
`pmbootstrap build --strict hello-world 0xffff heimdall`
It also builds dependencies properly without leaving makedepends
behind.
* moved export code to pmb/export and split it up
* added deprecation notice to "pmbootstrap flasher export"
* made "pmbootstrap export" work
* adjusted the "pmbootstrap flasher export" hints in the code
This adds a new option to `zap`: `-m / --mismatch-bins`
When set, any binary apks in the work directory packages folder will be
removed if their version differs from the version in the relevant
APKBUILD in aports.
Parted often succeeds, but then returns a non-zero exit code, because
it can not inform the kernel of the changes.
In most cases this is not even necessary, so it really should not
fail there.
When the error was fatal, pmbootstrap will crash shortly afterwards
when it tried to mount or run mkfs on the partition anyway.
* Write custom os-release (closes#324)
* Return empty string instead of crashing when the directory is not a git repository
* Use https in homepage URL
The device chroot shouldn't exist yet anyways. Also add a 'device_exists'
variable that can be used to determine if the device entered earlier in
the init has a deviceinfo under aports/device/device-*
* Don't specify pkgnames from "provides" as dependencies
Always use the regular pkgname. That way, we avoid listing all
kinds of so: files as dependencies (because Alpine automatically
adds them as depends= to the package database). This fixes building
weston, and reproducing the build with `pmbootstrap challenge`.
Additional changes.
* Clear the parsed APKINDEX cache for the current pmbootstrap
session after building a package
* Avoid rebuilding a package, in case it was already built due to
circular dependencies
* The system image size is now calculated as: root size - home size.
* New function in `pmb/helpers/other.py`: `folder_size()`, with a
testcase.
* Instead of copying everything to the system image folder, and
deleting the home folder afterwards, do not copy the home folder
in the first place.
* Added `pmbootstrap -s` to skip generating the initramfs for faster
debugging.
* Set the default value in the "are you sure, that your partition has
at least..." to "y", so we can run `yes '' | pmbootstrap install`
to make it run through the whole installation process.
* Increase full size to 120%, boot partition gets 15 MB free space now
This extends zap() to add a 'no_confirm' option (False by default), and
zap() is now called by init with no_confirm=True to automatically zap
any existing chroots after the user runs init. This helps insure that
what is installed in the chroots is exactly what the user expects after
setting options in init.
Additionally, we create `cache_http` to verify write access to the work
folder instead of `chroot_native`. So we can ask for zapping only if
no chroot folder exists.
I've replaced all instances in the code of `os.path.abspath`
with `os.path.realpath`, as this does the same as `abspath`
plus resolving symlinks.

This fixes https://github.com/postmarketOS/binary-package-repo/issues/1
GCC generates hardlinks between files `A` and `B` in its `make install` step. The problem is, that `tar` randomly packages `A` as full binary, and links `B` to `A`, or the other way around! I was able to reproduce this issue consistently when re-building `gcc-aarch64` on Travis CI (interestingly, this did not appear for `gcc-armhf`).
The fix is, to delete `B` and create a symlink `B` that points to `A` instead.
Previously, distutils.version.LooseVersion was used, because it was
sort of close enough to how Alpine parses versions.
This new version uses the exact same algorithm, as `apk` does, and
it passes *all* of `apk`'s testcases for version checking (previously
we simply skipped the ones, that did not pass).
* Remove pmb/helpers/version.py left-over (it is in parse now)
* Make asserts consistent, do not use unnecessary parenthesis
* aports: Use $install variable inside $source
So these files also get fingerprinted
* qemu: Use shutil.which instead of pmb.helpers.run.user
* Fix typo in comment
Thanks to Pablo Castellano and Martijn Braam!
In postmarketOS we are now able to generate system images with the
correct configuration so that they can boot already using qemu
This commit brings the `pmbootstrap qemu` action.
This command is very handy because you don't have to set all the
qemu parameters, pmbootstrap does it for you.
* device-qemu-vexpress: Added kernel command line according to wiki
* qemu: Added workaround for image writing permissions
* qemu: Added support to launch postmarketOS in a QEMU virtual machine
- Support for emulating these architectures in QEMU: arm, aarch64, x86_84
- Generate QEMU command correctly depending no guest architecture (arm/x86)
- Run QEMU in the same architecture as the host by default
- Refactoring in pmb.parse.arch and pmb.qemu.run
- Raise exception if DTB file or system image are not present
- Display more useful information when something fails (e.g. image not found)
- Run qemu version depending on arch (host or argument), not device configured
* device-qemu-amd64: set deviceinfo_kernel_cmdline to "PMOS_NO_OUTPUT_REDIRECT"
* qemu: added --memory argument to specific guest RAM
* device-qemu-amd64: adjusted deviceinfo_kernel_cmdline (console=tty1)
* Added /etc/network/interfaces for qemu-amd64
* qemu: Added KVM support if /dev/kvm if present
* Specify separate machines for architecture
* qemu: Check if QEMU is installed instead of crashing
* Added graphics driver to qemu-aarch64
- Use arm (as used in qemu) instead of armhf (used in Alpine)
- qemu argument is -dtb
- Follow same style to build the command + arguments
* qemu: Added SSH port redirection: ./pmbootstrap.py qemu -p 2222
Changes:
* Removed the apkindex_files cache. That particular cache caused
bug #189 and didn't bring any real-world performance improvements
(tested 3x with that cache and 3x without, no significant speed
difference). I decided to remove it instead of keeping it/adding
even more code to resolve the bug.
* Fix the check for already built packages: always use the architecture,
that the package should be built for instead of the architecture of
the build environment (e.g. use armhf, even when building a noarch
package in the x86_64 chroot). This partially resolves#341.
* Make pmb.chroot.apk.install_is_necessary() more robust: If the binary
package is missing, although it should be there, print a warning and
build it with force.
