In order to have hardware acceleration in osk-sdl, we have included mesa
for some devices (like the PinePhone) in initfs-extra. Mesa drags in
libLLVM, which got a size increase of 27 MB in the last version. This
leads to running out of space on the boot partition:
==> initramfs: creating /boot/initramfs-postmarketos-allwinner-extra
gzip: write error: No space left on device
cpio: write error: Broken pipe
Improve the situation by not directly writing initfs-extra to /boot
(next to the old version), but to a temporary directory first. Replace
the old version with the new version afterwards (like before).
This is a rather minimal fix for this specific issue. The mkinitfs
script needs more fixing (it's one of the oldest pieces of code in
postmarketOS and could use a rewrite...), but that's out of scope for
this patch.
`qt5-qtquickcontrols` and `qt5-qtgraphicaleffects` are needed, else
qtwebbrowser shows a blackscreen on start.

they both provide ARM dri drivers. It depends on the main
Mesa packages.

This updates the current commit and refactor APKBUILD to
more modern way of writing downstream kernels. Also move to main/ to fit
other linux-postmarketos-* kernels.
The i2c bus for the pogo pins was locked up because the level shifter is
powered by the regulator used for the cameras. This enables that
specific regular for the gpios the i2c bus is on so the pull-ups work
when reading and writing from the pogo pins.

This is required by some software, e.g. bluez/gnome to set some ACLs on
/dev/rfkill (see #904). While probably nobody will notice on the
downstream kernels (as we don't have any proper software there anyways)
it's definitely needed on mainline-ish kernels. Surprisingly only one
kernel has broken by enabling this option (linux-sony-tulip) which I've
patched up.
linux-postmarketos-qcom-sdm660 did not break by enabling this option,
but required linux4.17-gcc10-extern_YYLOC_global_declaration.patch to
build again, so this was fixed too.

[ci:skip-vercheck] We need our Mauikit to have -r1 to be newer

We're going to omit Telegram though, we shouldn't recommend a walled
garden with proprietary backend like that. Besides, NeoChat (and thus
Matrix) is already in there
Remove devmappings service. The original purpose of this service was to
ensure that /boot is mounted properly after the initramfs passed control
to OpenRC, because the initramfs used to umount /boot before that. With
/etc/fstab alone, /boot get not get mounted with subpartitions (which we
use on Android devices), if util-linux >= 2.33 was installed (MR 115).
Nowadays, we don't umount /boot in the initramfs before passing control
to OpenRC anymore (MR 1398). So this service isn't needed anymore, and
prevented the previous pmOS_inst_boot <> pmOS_boot patch from working
correctly.
Find partitions with the label "pmOS_inst_boot" too, and prefer using
them as boot partition over ones with label "pmOS_boot". (I'd use
"pmOS_install_boot", but there is a character limit in the label.)
Without this, the initramfs may choose the wrong boot partition if
postmarketOS is available once as install OS (on device installer) on
the SD card and once on the eMMC (installed).
I just had this problem with QEMU when simulating the install from SD to
eMMC use case with pmbootstrap qemu --second-storage. The pmOS initramfs
scripts would detect the previously created eMMC boot partition as the
proper one and mount it. It would boot into the right root partition,
because that already has a different label (pmOS_install instead of
pmOS_root), but because the wrong boot partition is already mounted,
during the install it would not be possible to run mkfs on it.

Rebuild against new calamares version. Usually the upstream-compat CI

Add the dependency to properly support file transfer between sandboxed

Wireguard's userspace tool 'wg-quick' requires certain network and

kconfig options, only CONFIG_IP_MULTIPLE_TABLES=y was left.

[ci:skip-vercheck]: just modifying _pmb_recommends
This adds a patch that enables signing blobs via flag.
Certain recent Asus Tegra devices (tf201, tf300, tf700/1)
only accept signed blobs, this was implemented upstream
but seems that some lines got deleted.
This also updates upstream repository to use PMOS one.
This patch checks if deviceinfo_bootimg_blobpack is "sign"
in that case it passes signing flag for devices that require.
Devices (tf101) that don't use signing will continue working
when passing "true" as now.
This adds sleep-inhibitor as a dependency when elogind is present, and
installs a conf for it with some plugins enabled that are beneficial to
devices running pmOS. The elogind suspend hook is dropped.
This resolves issues where suspend is aborted in the hook *after*
PrepareForSleep is sent over dbus (which might cause some things to
disable radios/modems, etc for suspend).
The 'period' in the conf is in minutes, a value of 0.1 is 6 seconds,
which seems reasonable for releasing the lock when conditions for
inhibiting no longer apply, without spinning the CPU too frequently.
The calamares module and branding was made distro-agnostic and moved to
calamares-extensions.git. A new "make install" target inside
postmarketos-ondev.git installs all files, so we need less logic in the
APKBUILD.
Replace lightdm with tinydm. Add xset dependency to disable screen
blanking.
Don't use cmake to copy the files to the target path, because it would
install to the wrong directory:
/usr/lib/qml/QtQuick/VirtualKeyboard/Styles/Plasma/
instead of:
/usr/lib/qt5/qml/QtQuick/VirtualKeyboard/Styles/Plasma/
I've spent some time trying to figure out why it does that, but could
not find it right away. This is just a legacy component, so not worth
spending much time on this detail.

Let all packages depending on tinydm depend on tinydm-openrc too. This
is needed to make sure that tinydm-openrc is installed, before the
tinydm service is enabled in the UI's post-install scripts.
This was not an issue because tinydm currently depends on tinydm-openrc.
But that's a hack and will be removed when upstreaming tinydm to alpine.

Do not change config files in post-install scripts anymore (with sed
commands or by other means). Instead, ship the files inside the packages
and use "replaces", so apk allows the package to overwrite files from
other packages:
https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/APKBUILD_Reference#replaces
Notes on specific files:
* /etc/elogind/logind.conf: original file only consists of commented out
compile defaults. Copy them over for now. In the future we should be
able to install our own config into a .d directory, without all the
comments: 8358fc5950
* /etc/fstab: original file only has /dev/cdrom and /dev/usbdisk
entries, which are not useful for postmarketOS:
https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/blob/master/main/alpine-baselayout/APKBUILD
* /etc/motd: reformat the text, add link to the chat
* /etc/conf.d/syslog: original file only contained 'SYSLOGD_OPTS="-t"',
make the override file as if the sed statement from post-install was
executed
* /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf: post-install script touches
this file. We probably added it back in 2017 in relation to enabling
D-Bus (though the PR does not mention it explicity), but at least with
the current init.d script of NetworkManager, we can simply have '-u' in
wpa_supplicant_args:
https://github.com/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap/pull/578https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/blob/master/main/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.initd
* /etc/sudoers: base on original /etc/sudoers, but remove all the
commented out stuff except for the visudo note at the top. We could
also put a file in /etc/sudoers.d, but since the wheel line is present
in the original /etc/sudoers and only commented out, it would be kind
of unexpected to enable it in a file in /etc/sudoers.d. I prefer this
stripped down version of the file, that is easy to read.
Refactor the install code to be generic, so we only need to add the new
path in one place when adding a new file. Put the full path into the
filename to make this possible.
I've tried to mimic the final directory structure in the aport first
(e.g. $pkgdir/sbin/swapfile -> main/postmarketos-base/sbin/swapfile),
but that leads to conflicts as abuild only takes the filename for
checksums (conflict with etc/conf.d/swapfile):
https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/abuild/-/issues/10013
We don't really need checksum verification for the files shipped in the
same directory (not downloaded), but nevertheless this is a bug. It
leads to confusing behavior and might be fixed by letting abuild demand
that there is only one source file with the same name, as I suggested in
the issue linked above. So let's avoid this altogether with the flat
file name.
wireguard needs the ipv6 multitable option to make a seperate routing
table for the inside and outside vpn part of the network.

Update ov5640 autofocus related patch. We had it working with Martijn's
patch in 5.9.1_git20201019-r2 (MR 1654), but then dropped the patch in
favor of the patch that was added to megi's tree in 5.9.3_git20201101
(MR 1678).
It turns out that the patch added to megi's tree was different than the
patch we were carrying, it was a WIP version where loading the autofocus
firmware did not work anymore.
Megi decided to drop the autofocus patch from his tree for now, as the
firmware uploader takes more time in Martijn's proper patch. According
to Martijn it takes about a second, which seems reasonable for the
postmarketOS use case. I've added the previous version again as
out-of-tree patch.
Martijn found that for some reason the continuous autofocus still
doesn't want to start with this kernel and current patch version, as for
some reason the firmware load fails. But he extended the patch to make
autofocus work again with "tap to focus" at least.
0005-dts-pinephone-Disable-flash-led-in-OV5640-node.patch is not needed
anymore, the same change is in megi's tree.

The devices supported by this package are Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300, GT-I9305,
SHV-E210K/L/S) and the Galaxy Note 2 (GT-N7100, GT-N7105) - a family of
boards also known by the codename "Midas" - and the Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100)
From this list, only the i9100 doesn't support the bootimg method.
Because of this, this kernel package is using the isorec method for all
the devices on the list. Additionally, for the midas devices, there is
no problem with this because the boot.img file is, in fact, a copy of
the kernel+initramfs on the pmos boot partition and what the isorec
initramfs does is actually to load the initramfs on that partition
directly (at least on my understanding).
Use the dtb-appended kernel file, e.g. postmarketos-exynos4-dtb instead
of postmarketos-exynos4, if it is available. This is needed to flash a
mainline kernel with appended dtb to isorec devices.
This patches from the megi solves the issue of the MIPI-DSI panels

Squeekboard >= 0.10.0 looks for an a11y setting to determine if it
should show up on the screen. This sets the config setting to 'true' so
that it shows up by default. It can apparently be toggled off in Gnome
Settings, but I haven't found the UI switch to do that yet..
Switch from the 5.8.x kernel with allwinner specific patches to megi's
5.9 based tree. He drives the PinePhone related kernel development
forward like no other, his tree and changes are well documented on
xnux.eu, and he frequently publishes tested "build this one" commits with
the latest improvements. It makes a faster and less time consuming
workflow to simply package these versions (after a smoke test) into
postmarketOS edge, and after some time to catch possible regressions
ship the same version in postmarketOS stable.
This kernel should make HDMI work for most people, and improve call
quality (thanks to smaeul's patches, which are integrated into megi's
tree).
Kernel config changes:
* Enable MODEM_POWER in the kernel config, among other improvements this
allows us to get rid of the 30s delay on power off.
* Enable CONFIG_DRM_PANEL_ILITEK_ILI9881C (new PineTab panel)
* Enable CONFIG_ZRAM
* Enable CONFIG_HID_MULTITOUCH

Thanks @vurpo for the tip.
We have tried out lightdm-mobile-greeter for three weeks, but let's remove
it again from the default install.
The greeter behaves completely different from the Phosh (or any other
UI's) lockscreen, therefore it provides a bad user experience. Not only
the design is different, but it also can't display the same information
as the Phosh lockscreen. You can't accept a call coming in while the
greeter is displayed, and whatever other features will be added to the
lockscreen in the future would not be in the greeter (e.g. making a photo
without logging in, emergency calls without login, ...).
It's clear to me now, that postmarketOS in the default installation
should install one UI in single-user mode, and that UI should use its
lockscreen to display all login screens. The case of having multiple UIs
installed at the same time is used rarely, so instead of optimizing for
it, document how to enable a greeter after the installation in the wiki:
https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Configure_postmarketOS_for_multiple_UIs_or_users
Besides the strong reasons above to ship with no greeter at all, we had
problems with lightdm-mobile-greeter in particular:
* It did not work with Plasma Mobile
* When HDMI was plugged in, the greeter was not usable (especially
annoying, because Phosh tends to crash after plugging in HDMI, so it
would go back to the greeter which then means you need to reboot)
This reverts commit be693339ec.
cpio expects a newline-separated list of files from stdin by default,
and you can change that to a NULL-terminated list of files by using the
'-0' switch.
Previously we were passing a NULL-terminated list ('-print0') and using
cpio with the default setting. For some reason busybox cpio works with
that but GNU cpio doesn't like that and generates an initramfs without
any files (as it only gets "a single file").
With this change the initramfs generation works fine with both busybox
cpio and gnu cpio.

This application doesn't work 100% when launched from the 'desktop', but
it is still useful as a handler for opening image files from a file
browser, so the icon is hidden.
eog is a nice image viewer that works pretty well on a

Nemo is a file manager from the Cinnamon desktop project, which forked
from Nautilus some time ago. It is much more usable than Nautilus on a
touchscreen/mobile display.
Set eog as default app in mimeapps.list, so it even works when hiding
the launcher with postmarketos-hidden-desktop-entries (we'll hide it,
because it doesn't work when opened directly; no image is shown and
opening a file does not work either). The list of associated mimetypes
is taken from here:
