Thanks, craftyguy!
- UI is selectable with `pmbootstrap init`. Currently only 'weston' and 'none' are options. It'll automatically pick up any new `postmarketos-ui-*` packages added at later dates.
- splits off weston packages install from postmarketos-base and puts
them into postmarketos-ui-weston. Also note that NO weston packages are
installed by "pmbootstrap install" by default unless the user selects a ui in the `init`
- configuration of weston is now in postmarketos-ui-weston.
- the demos have been spun off to `postmarketos-demos`, and `postmarketos-ui-weston` lists this package as a dependency.
This addresses #246 by not storing the aports directory in the config
file. The default location is still available (from config/__init__.py),
and can be overridden.
* Update runtime error message thrown for grsec/hardened kernels, saying that they are not supported right now, #107
* Remove unnecessary check for grsec enable/disable status - the build will not work in either case
Thanks, cmdr2! Here's the text from his PR:
Fixes an issue on alpine-vanilla, where `/dev/loop` is a directory (containing `/dev/loop/0`, `/dev/loop/1` ..etc), and causes `./pmbootstrap install` to fail.
Ignoring the `/dev/loop` directory works because `/dev/` also contains files named `/dev/loop0`, `/dev/loop1` ..etc, which the new code will still pick up.
The `install` command passes after this fix on my alpine-vanilla.
100% tested. Assuming that you don't need to test an obvious change,
because it only changes one line is dangerous. I will learn from this,
sorry for the inconvenience.
`gcc-armhf` compiles fine again with that change, and it is able to
cross-compile packages as it used to.
* Ignore `>`, `<`, `=` and `!` operators, when they are specified in
the dependencies. This was the desired behavior before, but it was
not implemented correctly (so it wouldn't ignore them everywhere).
Of course the real fix would be to honor these operators like apk
does. But this isn't feasible right now, and it should work for
most, if not all, our use-cases. I have documented this in the wiki
under build internals and if we happen to need correct operator
handling, we should do it then.
Minor other changes:
* `pmbootstrap parse_apkindex`: support optional package parameter to
only show the parsed content for one package.
* Support building most python APKBUILDs by replacing ${pkgname#py-}
properly
I've had a strange case where `cryptsetup status` did not work
inside the chroot anymore, and only zapping it would resolve it.
But I couldn't zap, because the status check was preventing shutdown
(on which zap depends) from working. This commit works around that.
I've done some refactoring while debugging #209.
* Unused file `pmb/build/crosscompiler.py` removed (that was a
left over from `_pmb_build_in_native_chroot` hack
* Do verbose logging in distccd, when `pmbootstrap --verbose` is
being invoked
* Restart distccd, when the commandline has changed (e.g. when the
currently running version was not verbose, and the new one is
verbose.) Prior to this change, it only got restarted, when the
architecture changed (so it did not allow changing the job count
on the fly for example).
* Insert missing whitespace in arguments help.
* Fix#145: add deviceinfo_flash_offset_base again
* Add default OFFSET_BASE value in flasher if deviceinfo_flash_offset_base variable is not set
...and set correct default base value in create_bootimg function
Thanks, Pablo Castellano!
* Fixed typo
* Guide user about what are the next steps after flashing kernel and password
* Increased postmarketos-mkinitfs' pkgver and rewording
Changes requested:
https://github.com/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap/pull/179
This properly exports the uImage kernel, which is used by u-boot, when
running 'flasher export'. Note the change to the uImage name to follow
the pattern "uImage-$flavor", which in the case of the RX 51 is
"uImage-nokia-rx51".
This is required for developing and testing the binary repository
scripts (see #64). Changes:
* When specified, the local folder gets mounted inside the chroots
as /mnt/postmarketos-mirror
* The apkindex_files() function outputs the correct path to the local
repository (it does *not* hash the URL in that case, which would
be wrong)
* /etc/apk/repositories: when the pmOS mirror is a local folder,
the path "/mnt/postmarketos-mirror" gets added to that file instead
of the outside path (so apk finds it properly inside the chroot)
This is important for the binary repository scripts, so it's feasible
to test the binary package build and challenge process locally without
setting up a new chroot whenever changing the repo URLs.
Also it behaves a bit more intuitively, because it really uses the
repo URL specified on the commandline, even when the chroot is already
set up.
TLDR: Always rebuild/install packages when something changed when executing "pmbootstrap install/initfs/flash", more speed in dependency resolution.
---
pmbootstrap has already gotten some support for "timestamp based rebuilds", which modifies the logic for when packages should be rebuilt. It doesn't only consider packages outdated with old pkgver/pkgrel combinations, but also packages, where a source file has a newer timestamp, than the built package has.
I've found out, that this can lead to more rebuilds than expected. For example, when you check out the pmbootstrap git repository again into another folder, although you have already built packages. Then all files have the timestamp of the checkout, and the packages will appear to be outdated. While this is not largely a concern now, this will become a problem once we have a binary package repository, because then the packages from the binary repo will always seem to be outdated, if you just freshly checked out the repository.
To combat this, git gets asked if the files from the aport we're looking at are in sync with upstream, or not. Only when the files are not in sync with upstream and the timestamps of the sources are newer, a rebuild gets triggered from now on.
In case this logic should fail, I've added an option during "pmbootstrap init" where you can enable or disable the "timestamp based rebuilds" option.
In addition to that, this commit also works on 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 feature will also work with the "timestamp based rebuilds".
This commit also fixes the working_dir argument in pmb.helpers.run.user, which was simply ignored before.
Finally, the performance of the dependency resolution is faster again (when compared to the current version in master), because the parsed apkbuilds and finding the aport by pkgname gets cached during one pmbootstrap call (in args.cache, which also makes it easy to put fake data there in testcases).
The new dependency resolution code can output lots of verbose messages for debugging by specifying the `-v` parameter. The meaning of that changed, it used to output the file names where log messages come from, but no one seemed to use that anyway.
...instead of running apk every time to get the list of installed
packages and their versions. The internal package database from
apk has the same format, as the extracted APKINDEX file (except
that it has more key-value pairs, which we ignore/do not need
right now). So the APKINDEX code has been extended to parse both
tar-packed APKINDEX files and regular text files in the APKINDEX
format.
This is required for #108, for a better detection of outdated
packages (because the internal package database saves the
package's timestamp, too). A nice benefit is, that this is faster
than calling apk every time and it doesn't fill up the log as much.
I've also used this improved function for determining the apk
version (for the outdated version check), and I've deleted
pmb.parse.other.package_split(), as it is not needed anymore.
