Cease merging pmbootstrap.cfg into args, implement a Context type to let
us pull globals out of thin air (as an intermediate workaround) and rip
args out of a lot of the codebase.
This is just a first pass, after this we can split all the state that
leaked over into Context into types with narrower scopes (like a
BuildContext(), etc).

With the new chroot type, we can now write fancy paths in the pythonic
way. Convert most of the codebase over, as well as adding various other
type hints.

Introduce a new module: pmb.core to contain explicitly typed pmbootstrap
API. The first component being Suffix and SuffixType. This explicitly
defines what suffixes are possible, future changes should aim to further
constrain this API (e.g. by validating against available device
codenames or architectures for buildroot suffixes).
Additionally, migrate the entire codebase over to using pathlib.Path.
This is a relatively new part of the Python standard library that uses a
more object oriented model for path handling. It also uses strong type
hinting and has other features that make it much cleaner and easier to
work with than pure f-strings. The Chroot class overloads the "/"
operator the same way the Path object does, allowing one to write paths
relative to a given chroot as:
builddir = chroot / "home/pmos/build"
The Chroot class also has a string representation ("native", or
"rootfs_valve-jupiter"), and a .path property for directly accessing the
absolute path (as a Path object).
The general idea here is to encapsulate common patterns into type hinted
code, and gradually reduce the amount of assumptions made around the
codebase so that future changes are easier to implement.
As the chroot suffixes are now part of the Chroot class, we also
implement validation for them, this encodes the rules on suffix naming
and will cause a runtime exception if a suffix doesn't follow the rules.
Change the 'not value' condition raising the '...value for this variable
is None!' error to 'value is None' so it doesn't raise when the value is
something else that evaluates to boolean False, like an empty string.
Remove the special treatment for $KERNEL_CMDLINE here by making it
default to empty string.
Flashes device vbmeta partition (can be overriden with
"flash_fastboot_partition_vbmeta" setting in deviceinfo)
with custom vbmeta.img which has verity flag disabled,
so device can boot postmarketOS with no problems.
While at it, also remove unnecessary "#!/usr/bin/env python3" in files
that only get imported, and adjust other empty/comment lines in the
beginnings of the files for consistency.
This makes files easier to read, and makes the pmbootstrap codebase more
consistent with the build.postmarketos.org codebase.
This reverts commit 6fb5b28e2f.
The -i option was removed from fastboot, so we can't use it anymore
unless we fork the package. There was only one device using it,
amazon-thor. I will add a note to the wiki page.
Fixes#1830.
It is dangerous to flash the boot partition on the Ouya. Doing so can
result in a bricked device. Allow deviceinfo to blacklist partitions from
ever being flashed.
* Rename deviceinfo variable flash_methods to flash_method
* Update pmb.config.deviceinfo_attributes / add sanity check
* Add test case that parses all deviceinfo files
* 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
* allows to build/extract/list initramfs, add/del hook
* rebuild the initfs whenever running install or trying to flash/boot it
* flasher flash/boot: automatically set up a minimal rootfs with kernel and initfs,
if it does not exist yet
