When building from tarball git tag is not available.
We need to pass version number manually.
This chnage is cosmetic, but will allow users to easily
identify version and source of their bootloader.
Package secondary LK bootloader for some Qualcomm devices
(for now: msm8916, msm8974, msm8226).
Bootloader binary is built from source in x86_64 chroot.
Two targets are built in a sequence. Then package is split
into 2 subpackages, each of them installs `/boot/lk2nd.img`.
So the end result is - lk2nd-msm8916 and lk2nd-msm8974 can't
be installed at the same time.
Device- packages then can depend on specific subpackage of this
package and have proxy-bootloader image ready to use in /boot.
This can improve user experience with installing postmarketOS on
several devices using only pmbootstrap tool.
At the very least, pmbootstrap can suggest user to flash lk2nd
immediately after `pmbootstrap install` or even offer some kind
of `pmbootstrap flasher` integration.
This will also open possibilities to automatically update and flash
lk2nd using package manager, it we ever want this.
Improvements from xfce4-phone source:
- Add screenshot to README.md
- Enable screen locking
- Disable Desktop icons "Home", "File System", "Trash"
- Enable single-click on Desktop
- Enable single-click in Thunar
- Change clock format
- Set postmarketos wallpaper
Additional changes in postmarketos-ui-xfce4:
- Installing greybird-themes (which is already set as default theme in
/etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xsettings.xml).
- Changing /etc/skel/.config/autostart/onboard-autostart.desktop to
slightly speed up keysboard startup (overriding startup-delay of
/etc/xdg/autostart/onboard-autostart.desktop).
- Enabling scrollbars by /etc/profile.d/enable-scrollbars.sh, this is
helpful where touch-scrolling doesn't work like e.g. in whiskermenu.
(And re-ordered network-manager-applet in APKBUILD _pmb_recommends
section.)
Also removing xfce4 subpackages of device-qemu-amd64,
device-qemu-aarch64 and device-nokia-n900. The device specific monitor
to set the wallpaper will now be automatically derived from "monitor0"
in file xfce4-desktop.xml.
Additionally taking maintainership as discussed in merge request
(!2506).
Many devices need proprietary firmware blobs. So far those blobs were
packaged and installed from the repository but this approach has many
drawbacks:
- The rootfs can only be used on a single device model.
- If a model has multiple variants that have diferent secire-boot key,
each must have it's own firmware blobs.
This makes maintaining packaged firmware very hard and outweights the
benefits of having a repeatable installation in most cases.
Instead we can load blobs dynamically from preexisting firmware
partitions that usually have same structure and contain the blobs we are
interested in.
The proposed scripts place symlinks to the blobs in a special dir that
then given to the kernel. Blobs from firmware/postmarketos (or another
dir that was set as extra path prior the script execution) will take
priority which allows to override some blobs (e.g. for deviecs with no
secure-boot)

Adjust post-upgrade script to not remove vmlinuz-*. This causes problems
with devices using kernels from Alpine, where the kernel is not
installed to /boot/vmlinuz, as it is now the case in postmarketOS, but
e.g. in /boot/vmlinuz-rpi. The intention was to clean up files when
migrating from the old postmarketos-mkinitfs to the new one (>= 1.0.0).
However, the /boot/vmlinuz* files are managed by apk, so they should
already get removed.
Add -v, so it prints a message when removing a file from /boot.
kernel filename must now be /boot/vmlinuz
[ci:skip-build]: ollie is pretty sure that this will work. it's a
critical fix, so let's not delay it by waiting for two kernels to build.
Kernel file names will be generic (/boot/vmlinuz).
Release path still has the 'flavor' in it so that pmbootstrap can still
get a reference to which kernel package is installed
This replaces the mkinitfs script with a re-write (in Go). The
re-written mkinitfs will atomically replace the initfs in /boot, check
for free space before doing so, and try to do whatever it can to not
leave the system in an unbootable state by botching the initfs
creation/installation.
pmb:cross-native with go cross compiling doesn't work exactly, it makes
the correct binary, but on Alpine go uses -buildmode=pie which creates a
dynamic thing, and the interpreter is wrong (e.g. it it set to use the
host arch's interpreter, like /lib/ld-musl-x86_64 even though
GOARCH=arm64)
The init.sh script is no longer a template, "initramfs-extra" is used.

This tool is used by the new mkinitfs to finalize/install boot files.

Disable the hostname management feature of NetworkManager. This isn't
useful for the postmarketOS use case, where we set one hostname in
/etc/hostname via pmbootstrap and want it to be used. (It makes more
sense for normal PCs, which may just have the hostname 'localhost' at
the end of the installation and then not be unique in the network.)
NetworkManager is supposed to only change the hostname if it is set to
localhost, however this detection does not work properly in
postmarketOS. I've skimmed through sources of elogind, NetworkManager
and OpenRC a bit and found that in OpenRC the definitive location to put
the hostname is /etc/hostname. The other path, /etc/conf.d/hostname, is
just a fallback. Experiments show that setting something in
/etc/conf.d/hostname does prevent NM from setting a hostname offered by
the DHCP server, but it's not clear to my why this happens. I suspect
elogind + dbus. Disabling this feature we don't need anyway seems like a
good approach to me without wasting too much time here.
Previously it was assumed that with the counter and the sleep 0.1 the
process would take about 10 seconds to complete. On newer devices with
tens or even hundreds of partitions going through all partitions already
takes a significant amount of time, so change the logic to measure the
time elapsed instead.
This fixes DNS when a system is connected to a pmOS device as a hotspot.
The rule is in the default set of firewall rules, instead of a
subpackage.. I think this is OK. I don't believe anything should be
listening on port 53 except when the hotspot is running...

The flavor string was naively parsed using sed by removing everything

Add ttyescape, a script and triggerhappy configuration to allow mobile device
users to access and use a shell without having to plug in to a computer.
One of the largest limitations with a mobile device is the lack of keyboard, for
mainstream OSs like Android and iOS, this is a non-issue as the whole OS stack
is built to automatically recover in case of a crash / hang, hiding the internal
state of affairs from users and making use of careful design to minimise the
impact. When bringing Linux to mobile, we carry not only the benefits of the
Linux desktop but also it's limitations. In the event that your desktop manager
goes haywire or hangs completely, or your graphics drivers get unhappy, the
ability to quickly jump to a tty and start killing bad behaving programs or
reset your display manager is one that most of us take for granted. But when
hit by similar errors on a mobile device there is no such recourse available,
users either have to reboot and hope that the issue doesn't occur again, or pull
out a laptop and pull up a shell (assuming ssh is enabled and the rndis
interface comes up).
ttyescape proposes to solve this issues by pieceing together several already
available tools, notably:
- triggerhappy, a tool used to perform actions when
certain buttons or key combinations are pressed with no dependencies on the
display manager in use.
- fbkeyboard, a framebuffer keyboard for tty's, it
renders on top of the current tty and uses the device touchscreen as input.
gzip results in a boot.img that's too big (over 8 MB) for e.g.
samsung-i9300, so let's replace it with something that produces
smaller kernels. With this, the entire boot.img is 6,3 MB (down
from 8MiB, or 8.5458944 MB) which leaves plenty of space on the
8 MB partition and prevents the recovery from being overwritten
when this kernel is flashed.
Tested and works on samsung-i9300.

The networkmanager hotspot needs to have DHCP input enabled on the wifi
interfaces so the temporary dnsmasq instance can work. The
networkmanager backend is also switched to the nftables one so it can
create the ad-hoc hotspot forwarding/masquerade table.
Proper fix for the monospace fonts seen when postmarketos-ondev is
installed without also installing osk-sdl. This doesn't happen anymore
with pmbootstrap install --ondev, because it will always pull in osk-sdl
again for other reasons. However, since postmarketos-ondev is using this
font, let's directly depend on it instead of having it pulled in as side
effect of also having osk-sdl installed.
And extend bootloader CMDLINE per default, giving us the option to
change the CMDLINE both via the kernel config and from samsung's
S-BOOT shell.
Note: the default console in exynos_defconfig (which this config is
based on) is ttySAC1, but all midas devices uses ttySAC2, so set it to
ttySAC2 instead. Also remove all other variables. They are not needed,
and (at least) root=/dev/ram0 seem to prevent us from booting pmos.

I don't want debug it at this time in case breaks something. Setting up
