This package was a workaround for out-of-tree modules (wireguard). We
have dropped the wireguard kernel module package already, and since
kernel-scripts is failing to build now (it would need to be updated),
let's drop it as well.
If somebody wants to bring back *and maintain* the wireguard
out-of-tree kernel module, I've documented how we had done it here:
https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Out-of-tree_kernel_modules
[ci:skip-build]: building the kernels that have been adjusted to drop
kernel-scripts related code would take too long for CI,
but I'm making sure that everything still builds before
merging.
This is a followup to !109 (merged). Affected packages:
* device/linux-samsung-p4wifi
* device/linux-sony-tulip
* device/linux-teclast-x80pro
* main/linux-postmarketos-allwinner
* main/linux-postmarketos-mainline
* main/linux-postmarketos-qcom
* main/linux-postmarketos-stable
[skip ci] I have confirmed that all 7 kernels still compile.
When cross compiling, the kernel scripts would be in the native arch
again. That was already fixed in !1234, however the mime type of the
binaries has changed, so we couldn't detect them properly anymore
(#1659).
This commit fixes it again, and also adds a checks so this won't
silently fail in the future.
[skip ci] because this would not run through anyway (building these
packages takes too long). Fixes#1659.
* change "pmbootstrap kconfig_check" to "pmbootstrap kconfig check"
* change "pmbootstrap menuconfig" to "pmbootstrap kconfig edit [-x|-g]"
(with legacy alias, because the first syntax was referenced to a lot)
* enable X11 interfaces: -x: xconfig, -g: gconfig
* new function to copy the xauthority file:
pmb.chroot.other.copy_xauthority()
* remove menufconfig() function from the kernel template and all kernel
aports ([skip ci] because it would rebuild all kernels and run out of
time). Alpine has dropped this as well, and it wouldn't work with the
new code anyway.
Since it works for linux-postmarketos-stable, I've simply copied over
the config, and ran "pmbootstrap menuconfig" on it again. Then it
worked again in Qemu.
* New "pmbootstrap build --src=/local/source/path hello-world" syntax
* The local source path gets mounted inside the chroot
* From there, a copy of the source code gets created with rsync (so
we can write into the source folder if necessary, for better
compatibility with all kinds of APKBUILDs)
* After the aport gets copied into the chroot before building (as
usually), we extend the APKBUILD with overrides to make it use
mountpoint's source instead of downloading the package's source
from the web as usually
* The package built with the local source gets _pYYYYMMDDHHMMSS
appended to the pkgver
* linux-postmarketos-mainline: use $builddir, fix patch checksum
Binary packages are rebuilding. If your kernel is not rebuilt yet, and
you don't want to build it yourself, just checkout the previous
pmbootstrap commit.
This commit also changes the arch from the postmarketOS kernels from
"all" to the ones where we actually have a kernel config.
Fixes#1229.
We have two methods of cross-compiling:
* native: everything runs with the host architecture, QEMU is not
involved. This is the fastest, but requires the build system to be
working with it. We use this for all linux-* packages currently.
* distcc: everything runs through QEMU emulating the target arch,
*except* for the compiler. This is the most compatible approach
working with all packages.
When compiling `linux-*` packages natively, kernel scripts needed
during the build process get generated. Some of these are C files that
get compiled as executables. In native mode, these get compied to the
native architecture, in distcc mode to the target architecture.
The problem is, that we need these scripts compiled for the target
architecture in the kernel's dev package in order to compile kernel
modules outside of the kernel's package (e.g. wireguard).
It is not possible to just rewrite this logic to generate target-arch
binaries when running in native mode, because these binaries require
musl-dev, linux-headers and some other packages to be installed for the
target architecture inside the native chroot.
We solve this by introducing a new `kernel-scripts` package. which
contains just the binary scripts. In case the dev package was
cross-compiled, it depends on `kernel-scripts` and symlinks these
binaries. The `kernel-scripts` package always gets compiled in distcc
mode since it does not have a `linux-` prefix.
Fixes#1230.
Fixes#1227.
This also updates the hash in linux-postmarketos-mainline, because the
hash changed upstream (they updated their git version server-side?).
* Using full diff skipping v4.15-rc1
cgit doesn't generate proper patches for binary files (one was added in
v4.15-rc1 and removed in v4.15-rc5 because it also introduced a new
build-time dependency which is now solved). For 4.16 the "old" source
lines can be re-added but until then a full diff skipping v4.15-rc1
is needed.
* Add patch from linux-next to fix the build on some machines
(sync-check.sh was not executable, see #950)
The conflict happens, when we're on rc-1, the old naming only contains the target version, so there will be two file named `postmarketos-linux-mainline-4.15-rc1.patch`: one that updates the kernel from the latest stable, and one empty.
