* The APKINDEX parser used to return a dictionary with one package for a given package name. This works for the installed packages database, because there can only be one provider for a package. But when parsing packages from binary repositories, we need to support multiple providers for one package. It is now possible to get a dictionary with either multiple providers, or just a single provider for each package. * Dependency parsing logic has been adjusted, to support multiple providers. For multiple providers, the one with the same package name as the package we are looking up is prefered. If there is none (eg. "so:libEGL.so.1" is provided by "mesa-egl"), it prefers packages that will be installed anyway, and after that packages that are already installed. When all else fails, it just picks the first one and prints a note in the "pmbootstrap log". * Added testcases for all functions in pmb.parse.apkindex and pmb.parse.depends * pmbootstrap chroot has a new "--add" parameter to specify packages that pmbootstrap should build if neccessary, and install in the chroot. This can be used to quickly test the depencency resolution of pmbootstrap without doing a full "pmbootstrap install". Fixes #1122. |

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_64oraarch64)- 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.
