Current status:
- flashing only manually (intel phones have different bootimg format)
- usb networking works
- xorg works using fbdev
- packages needed for wayland are not available for x86
- touch works in xorg and osk-sdl
Add a blobtools option to the deviceinfo file for creating specific
blobs for the Asus TF101 tablet. This will make it easier to flash
afterwards with ADB.
- Removed the framebuffer configuration in the initramfs hook
- Added patch for fixing the framebuffer mode in the kernel source
- Cleanup linux-samsung-i9070 APKBUILD
Also added the watchdog-kick package:
Some devices (namely Nokia N9/950) use more than one watchdog, and
watchdog-kick package kicks all of /dev/watchdogs? every 10 seconds so
they don't reset the device
* Don't ask for the mesa driver when the Qemu arch is not the
native arch and always use swrast in that case
* qemu-vexpress: use LTS kernel
* qemu-aarch64: use drm-backend for weston
* Rename deviceinfo variable flash_methods to flash_method
* Update pmb.config.deviceinfo_attributes / add sanity check
* Add test case that parses all deviceinfo files
The RGB values were not calculated correctly. This patch was send to
me by cascaro and works great. All credits goes to him.
This also fixes the issue of Weston not automatically recognizing the
good pixman type without setting it in the deviceinfo file.
* Added redscreen kernel patch and xorg config
* Moved weston and x11 specific config to subpackage
* Removed deviceinfo_weston_pixman_type for hammerhead
* Added msm-fb-refresher to hammerhead
This adds a new deviceinfo 'flash_fastboot_max_size' used for
preventing fastboot from flashing a system partition that is too
large. Some devices do not support flashing over a certain size
(e.g. 500MB).
The mesa driver, which ends up in the installation image, needs to be known
before the installation is done (in other words: when running the qemu action,
it is to late as the image has already been generated). That's why one can
choose the Qemu mesa driver in `pmbootstrap init` now:
```
Device [qemu-amd64]:
Which mesa driver do you prefer for your Qemu device? Only select something other
than the default if you are having graphical problems (such as glitches).
Mesa driver (dri-swrast/dri-virtio) [dri-virtio]:
```
It is still possible to select `dri-swrast`, because `dri-virtio` may not work
in all cases, and that way we could easily debug it or experiment with other
mesa drivers (e.g. the "vmware" one, which is supported by mesa and Qemu).
Other changes:
* `pmbootstrap qemu` accepts a `--display` variable now, which passes the value
directly to `qemu`'s `display` option. It defaults to `sdl,gl=on` (@PureTryOut
reported that to work best with plasma mobile on his PC). `--display` and
`--spice` (which is still working) are mutually exclusive.
* Removed obsolete telnet port pass-through: We only use the debug telnet port
since osk-sdl has been merged.
* Add show-cursor to the Qemu command line, so it shows a cursor in X11
* Refactored the spice code (`command_spice` only returns the spice command,
because it has all necessary information already) and the spice port can be
specified on the commandline now (previously it was hardcoded in one place and
then always looked up from there).
* Start comments with capital letters.
* Keep the log on the screen a bit shorter (e.g. Qemu command is written to the
"pmbootstrap log" anyway, so there's no need to display it again).
* linux-postmarketos-stable: Adjust kernel configs
x86_64, armhf: enable as modules:
CONFIG_DRM_VIRTIO_GPU, CONFIG_VIRTIO_PCI, CONFIG_VIRTIO_BALLOON
aarch64: all 3 options were already enabled as built-in (no change)
* Set '-vga virtio' for mesa-dri-virtio
* pmbootstrap init: Generate new port device- and linux-package
* adds `pmbootstrap aportgen device-*` and
`pmbootstrap aportgen linux-*`
* ask for confirmation when selecting a non-existing device
* generate the packages directly from init
* refactor aportgen code
* fixed some easy things in the linux- APKBUILD (more to come in
follow-up PRs!)
Testing:
* Test all questions to the user from pmb.config.init and pmb.aportgen.device
(except for the timezone question, because we would need to monkeypatch the
os.path.exists() function, which messes up pytest, so we'd need to refactor
the timezone function to be more testsuite friendly first)
* Run the device wizard in a testcase a few times and check the output, that
pmbootstrap.aportgen.device and pmbootstrap.aportgen.linux create by parsing
the resulting APKBUILDs and deviceinfo and checking its contents.
* Build the generated device package once in the same testcase
Thanks a lot to @drebrez for all the help with this one:
<https://github.com/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap/pull/821>
See also the updated porting guide:
<https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Porting_to_a_new_device>
This caused builds to fail with a modern GCC at least once, and while it originally was meant as
security feature by Qualcomm, "it is unsupported by Qualcomm, and opens up to a wide range
of potential attack surfaces that has not been audited by anyone."
* XFCE4/Hildon: Log to syslog, see also:
<https://github.com/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap/pull/762>
* Fix XFCE4 didn't start in qemu-amd64, because it required
libEGL.so.1, which is provided by mesa-egl. This is a dependency
of device-qemu-amd64-x11 now. (It worked for Hildon and Weston,
because they pull mesa-egl in with other packages.)
@drebrez deserves much credit for this one for all the testing,
bisecting and for fixing everything. Thank you very much!

* devices which need a custom weston.ini ship it with a install_if
subpackage, so it only gets installed when weston is installed. This
sounds complicated, but is actually pretty clean in the APKBUILD.
* postmarketos-ui-weston: has a weston.ini.default, which enables
xwayland and uses fbdev as backend (because that's what most
devices use!). It defaults to the weston.ini.default if there is no
weston.ini (as installed by the device package).
* changed spaces to tabs for consistency, general minor refactoring of
device-APKBUILDs
Placing such files in /tmp/ is an unnecessary attack vector, as
@pavelmachek showed. All udev rules, which mentioned /tmp/weston.log
do not contain any path anymore.
Logs can be read with:
logread -f /var/log/messages | grep weston

* Rebase on 4.11.12 kernel upstream
I took the relevant patches from https://git.linaro.org/people/john.stultz/flo.git/log/?h=flo-v4.11 and
compiled with upstream kernel.org 4.11.12 kernel. 4.12rc1 and later have not fixed yet problems
with freedreno gpu hanging. So we now have an upstream source for the kernel and John Stultz
patches separately.
Set this to y as it does not seem to have problems in Alpine - CONFIG_HW_RANDOM_MSM=y
Enable USB OTG in kernel. I still need to find out how to enable it in Alpine.
* Use pkgver instead of hash and other changes
* Add dependencies for X11 and osk
Added pointercal. Added dependencies so Xfce would work out of the box. Made changes in
90-android-touch-dev.rules as they are needed for proper X11 touchscreen calibration.
* postmarketos-base: Execute setup-udev, remove mosh from dependencies
* Run setup-udev [0], because that is what `setup-xorg-base` does [1].
It configures more than one OpenRC service and it also messes with the
runlevels. Only after running that, Hildon works (tested in Qemu).
[0]: 2fbea8b8da/main/eudev/setup-udev
[1]: 06300dd483/setup-xorg-base.in (L25)
* Remove `mosh` from `postmarketos-base` dependencies. I don't think anyone
uses it right now, and it's easy to add custom packages in `pmbootstrap init`
nowadays.
* Minor style changes in the `APKBUILD`
* [rx51] Remove udev-trigger service start
