Sloppy patch that makes the displayport alt-mode output signal work on
the PinePhone convergence edition. Proper fix is in the 5.8 tree
[ci:skip-build]: Martijn made sure that it builds and works. This is
time critical, so skip the CI build.
Fix mobile-config-firefox not replacing postmarketos-config-firefox on
upgrade. Without the pkgver in provides, apk only considers
mobile-config-firefox as virtual package name, not as replacement.

postmarketos-ui-plasma-mobile has plasma-camera in _pmb_recommends.
plasma-camera does not build for x86, because mpg123-libs-1.26.3-r0 is
still broken in Alpine edge repos (aports#11807).
Disable postmarketos-ui-plasma-mobile for x86 again, so the CI check
test_aports_ui doesn't fail anymore with:
postmarketos-ui-plasma-mobile/APKBUILD: package 'plasma-camera' from _pmb_recommends not found for arch 'x86'
[ci:skip-vercheck]: only modifying arches
[ci:skip-build]: unfortunately, postmarketos-ui-plasma-mobile fails to
build for x86_64 too due to broken libdv in Alpine (aports#11892).
I'll create MRs to Alpine to fix the broken depends, so we should be
able to enable it again soon.

Pressing power button should not power off a device. Although it is
expected on desktops and laptops, it isn't expected on phones and
tablets. Instead it should just turn off the screen or go into a deep
sleep, but that isn't handled by elogind. So let elogind just ignore the
button altogether.
Also re-order the dependencies alphabetically while we're touching the
package anyway
Previously we added the header in the kernel packages but as we already
add the ramdisk header here and to simplify the process we also add the
addition of the kernel header into mkinitfs.
With the new mobile-config-firefox, the window width is small enough
that the window does not need to be scaled. This looks better overall,
and avoids scaling glitches.
New version does not just support Firefox 68 (firefox-esr in Alpine 3.12),
which is going to be EOL soon. It also supports the new ESR 78
(firefox-esr in Alpine edge, soon also in 3.12, supported until ~2021-04)
and 79 (current stable "rapid release" version; firefox in Alpine edge).
The source was moved to a dedicated git repo, so other distributions can
also use it. Keep the distro-specific links here in a separate HTML
file, so they can be modified without changing
mobile-config-firefox.git.

submitted upstream (patch 0001 has already been submitted more than half
a year ago but hasn't had any activity yet).
"plasma" and some related packages are currently missing in Alpine edge
armv7 due to a cyclic dependency. Let's disable all packages depending
on plasma for armv7 temporarily, to get the pmOS edge armv7 repo up
again.

Add mimeapps.list, so links clicked in postmarketos-welcome and other
applications properly open in firefox. Without this patch, they just
don't open at all.
Bump the pkgver instead of the pkgrel, so the APKBUILD is in sync again
on both master and v20.05 (right now, the pkgrel on v20.05 is ahead by
one, otherwise the file is the same).

Disable the first run screen in GNOME software, which invites the user
to browse and install apps. We do not want people to use GNOME software to
do that when they open it for the first time in postmarketOS after
installing, we want them to do updates. So this dialog is misleading for
our users, and will lead to a bad experience for those who follow what
it suggests.
I think there's more wrong with that dialog (in context of postmarketOS),
more detailed reasoning and screenshot in:
https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/merge_requests/1449#note_385456592
Replace firefox with firefox-esr, remove epiphany. With the current
version of epiphany, the postmarketOS wiki doesn't even load every time,
so that's not something we want to ship.
Add policies.json and prefs.js to configure Firefox (yes, you need both
to be able to control all this):
Mobile improvements:
* Enable zooming with fingers
* Mobile user agent (from tor browser for android)
Privacy improvements:
* Disable search suggestions, so URLs do not get sent to search engines
as they are getting typed.
* Disable Firefox studies
* Disable Telemetry
* Set DuckDuckGo as default search engine, not Google
Uncluttering (screen space, remove broken features, less distractions):
* Move all buttons to the overflow menu and remove spacers around the
address bar
* Empty "new tab" page (loads faster, no annoying "top sites" etc.)
* Disable developer tools, so the hamburger menu fits the screen of the
pinephone. These aren't really useful on phones anyway.
* Disable "Firefox Screenshots": the feature did not work with the mobile
resolution in Phosh.
* No default bookmarks from Firefox
* Disable First Run Page
* Disable Post Update Page
* Disable "User Messaging" (What's new, Extension/Feature
Recommendations, Urlbar Interventions)
Add a local html file that serves as lightweight default homepage. It
links to the postmarketOS blog and wiki, explains that this is desktop
firefox with mobile configuration and explains how to change settings
and install addons (with a direct link to ublock origin). Users can
override the homepage, new tab page, search engine, search suggestions
pre-configured by this package directly in the UI.
I chose Firefox ESR, because:
* It fits the screen better: the "new tab" button is bigger, the menu
opening when you click the top-right button actually fits the screen,
with all its submenus. There are zoom controls in the same menu, which
make the preferences pages very usable.
* It's possible to override the default search engine with a policy
file; that's not possible in non-ESR firefox (we'd probably need to
change it in the sources).

In phosh, we have broken Cheese (Camera) and Extensions (from GNOME shell)
icons in the launcher. They get dragged in via dependencies, so the
easiest way to disable them is just overruling the .desktop icon. We can
make Cheese visible again in a post-install script (just check if it
points to nodisplay.desktop and delete the link) once we have it working.
Hide icons for terminal programs (htop, nvim, vim) as well as "Firefox
Safe Mode" too. If somebody really wants to use the FF safe mode, they
can do so via terminal.
Have a simple initial version, maybe make it more sophisticated with
UI-specific hidden icons later (right now, it doesn't make sense to
install this in normal GNOME, because there you would need
org.gnome.Extensions). (There is "NotShowIn=phosh" (untested), but using
this would mean that we need to keep all the information of the original
desktop file for the UIs that will display them; we can't just use the
symlink trick. I'm not sure if we want that at all, but it's
definitively over-engineered for now.)
The p? is not redundant. Without it, the p in mmcblk0p2 for example does
not get cut off, meaning the resulting device is not "mmcblk0" but
"mmcblk0p". My bad, sorry for the breakage.
Fixes: 9f6600ba ("main/postmarketos-mkinitfs: rm pmOS_deleteme")
Fixes: 9d86f6fe ("main/postmarketos-mkinitfs: resize: unallocated space check, even if forced")
Remove the "pmOS_deleteme" partition left behind by the on-device
installer, if it exists. Let the existing resize_root_partition() extend
the root partition over the newly gained space (and rest of the storage
device) right afterwards.
In resize_root_partition(), put the unallocated space check into an
extra function has_unallocated_space(). Run it even if
PMOS_FORCE_PARTITION_RESIZE is used, so we don't attempt to resize the
partition if there is no free space.
While at it, change "sed 's/p?2$//'" to "sed 's/2$//' in an already
modified line, because it means the same thing and is less confusing
(? in regex means: 0 or 1 time).
Enable CONFIG_CRYPTO_XTS for each kernel, so we can switch to using
aes-xts-plain64 as default cipher for cryptsetup (override with
"pmbootstrap --cipher"), instead of aes-cbc-plain64 (pmbootstrap#1940).
I have executed "pmbootstrap kconfig edit" on each kernel, and manually
toggled the option. The diff is not always clean, because for some
kernels it is apparently the first time, that menuconfig was executed on
the configs like that. In a few instances, it turned out that
CONFIG_ANDROID_PARANOID_NETWORK needed to be disabled too (this is
already a requirement, but as the config was incomplete, it was not
visible that this option was enabled). Very few times, I had to enable
CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL in order to see and enable CONFIG_CRYPTO_XTS.
It would be great if we could automate such mass kconfig edits in the
future, see pmbootstrap#1942.
[skip ci]: I have verified, that every single one of these kernels builds.
CI will likely run out of time while downloading source tarballs.
Seems like "pmbootstrap kconfig edit" causes unrelated kernel config
changes for some reason (probably because pmbootstrap does not install
a cross compiler for it). For now let's just edit the config manually
with the new options so everything else stays as-is.
Only add a comment, do not try to mount the root or boot partitions
anymore. The initramfs is doing this already.
Related: https://postmarketos.org/fstab
Mount the boot partition at /sysroot/boot and keep it mounted, when
running the switch_root command. This way, OpenRC doesn't need to mount
it and possibly use the wrong partition. The OpenRC service does not use
the same logic to find the boot partition, in particular it does not
support the pmos_boot kernel parameter.
While at it, print the mountpoint and read-only/read-write arguments in
the mounting log message for both root and boot.
Fixes: #664
Get rid of the "write_unless_modified" code, which was supposed to only
change /etc/fstab, /etc/issue, /etc/motd if the user did not modify it.
This is nice in theory, but we have a bug report where the code did not
do what it should (apk audit possibly failed due to a qemu bug?), and
then it lead to strange bugs related to not having the expected
/etc/fstab installed.
Fixes: #661, #258
This enables mult-sensor support in sun6i-csi, support for the
gc2145 front camera, the new panel driver from mainline linux
and a small fix for the anx7688 that prevents it spamming the
kernel log when no cable is plugged in on 1.2a hardware.
gitlab.com had a service disruption, so it was not possible to "git
clone" from gitlab.com from some regions, like where the sourcehut
infrastructure is located. Since we are building our packages on
builds.sr.ht, this caused all packages that should be built at that time
to fail. It is working again, so bump the pkgrels to restart the builds.
This switch has happened in the Alpine repos quite a while ago and most
of the pmOS packages were using it already too, so let's switch over the
last ones as well.
This also cleans up the APKBUILDs where necessary
In the Linux kernel, the ST-Ericsson NovaThor U8500 SoC is barely
ever mentioned under the "NovaThor" name, more common are names like
U8500, Ux500, ST-Ericsson, STE, ...
Let's rename the kernel package to linux-postmarketos-stericsson
to make that more clear. Also cleanup the APKBUILD a bit while we're
at it, HOSTCC is unneeded, remove unnecessary depends, ...
