It made problems, see #956 and #952. Originally this was added, so
our plasma mobile packaging - which targets wayland - doesn't need
to depend on X11 stuff. And because dbus-x11 caused a 1 minute
wait for an X server (#377).
We have yet to figure out if this problem returns, but even if that
happens, it's better than having it completely broken. And we can
probably figure out a better way to fix it (for real).
Contains everything from #940, except on top of master now.
Also added a postmarketos-ui-luna package to be a meta-
package for all of the Luna work.
Every component included here builds & runs, but isn't
functional without a handful more packages.
* Add postmarketos-ui-plasma-mobile
* Add more required packages
* Upgrade plasma sources
* Modernize APKBUILDs
* Make it run in general
* Support RGB32 framebuffer with BGR order (thanks @zhuowei!)
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>
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.
* 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.)
This causes initramfs to skip calling 'kpartx' when pmOS has been
installed on an external disk (e.g. sdcard). Fixes mounting pmOS_boot
by label (#774).
@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
See also: <https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Syslog>
This way we could give the user a rough idea what will be installed,
and also use this to display a short warning about long compile times
(e.g. until the plasma mobile stuff is upstreamed).
* Allow to specify a custom username in "pmbootstrap init"
* Build chroots have "pmos" instead of "user" as username now
* Installation user UID is 1000 now (as in all other Linux distributions)
* Adjust autologins
* postmarketos-base: enable wheel group for sudo, removed previous sudoers file
* Implement safe upgrade path:
We save the version of the work folder format now, in $WORK/version.
When this file does not exist, it defaults to 0.
In case it does not match the currently required version
(pmb.config.work_version), then ask the user if it should
automatically be upgraded.
* apkindex:
* Also parse the architecture field
* symlink_noarch_package:
* Renamed to symlink_noarch_packages
* Always work on all packages (so we don't need to guess which
subpackages have been generated after a certain build)
* Get invoked when running 'pmbootstrap index'
* Use 'apk index' to generate one index, where the architecture
does not get rewritten (abuild does that by default, due to
Alpine's repos not having a 'noarch' folder and diverging from
that doesn't make things easier for us). That goes super fast,
and then we know which packages are noarch packages and can
create the symlinks.
* Made output less verbose:
* Use -q for 'apk index' when calling it directly (when it gets
called by abuild we can't control that)
* Output that the APKINDEXes get reindexed only to the 'pmbootstrap
log'.
kmscube is a command line utility for testing KMS-capable GPU drivers,
which may be useful for validating DRM rendering and OpenGL ES acceleration
capabilities required by accelerated Weston/KWin on supported devices.
This removes a few globs from the mkinitramfs module copy part. This is an issue
in linux-postmarketos since it will copy gpu drivers for all possible hardware to the
initramfs.
This should be done in the deviceinfo variables for the modules instead and is
already done for the current devices that use module loading. This changes the
initramfs (uncompressed) from 16 MB to 11 MB just because the qemu graphics
drivers aren't included.
So I was wrong.. /etc/issue needs to contain the escape sequence output
by setterm, not the actual call to setterm itself. My previous testing
of this was faulty, which led me to believe the previous implementation
of this would work.
* aports: unicsy-demo: pure Python program should have noarch set
Per https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/APKBUILD_examples:Python#arch,
pure Python programs should be marked as noarch in the APKBUILD instead
of all.
* aports: sdl_net: fix build on aarch64
The version of config.guess and config.sub predate aarch64, so
./configure errors out with instructions to update them.
Add a prepare section in APKBUILD to do this.
* aports: sdl_net+chocolate-doom: pass CHOST and CBUILD to configure
Other Alpine packages pass these options in to aid cross compling; for
example, the template APKBUILD from
https://github.com/alpinelinux/abuild/blob/master/newapkbuild.in#L43
uses them. Add them to chocolate-doom and sdl_net.
This enables console screen blanking/powersaving by default. Without it, the screen will stay on indefinitely, killing battery life and/or prolonging charge time. UIs should be able to override this with dpms (e.g. xset). I arbitrarily chose 5 min as the blank time.
* 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
* pmb.helpers.run: support running processes in background
* enable QXL driver support in the linux kernel configurations so
that we can also use SPICE to connect to the VM.
QXL is a paravirtual graphics driver with 2D support
The SPICE project aims to provide a complete open source solution for remote
access to virtual machines in a seamless way.
Both DRM_QXL and DRM_BOCHS are enabled as modules.
According to [1], on Linux guests, the qxl and bochs_drm kernel modules
must be loaded in order to gain a decent performance
* qemu: add new option --spice to connect to VM using a SPICE client
If specified, 'pmbootstrap qemu' will look for some SPICE client in the
user's PATH and run qemu using the QXL driver.
Currently supported spice clients are 'spicy' and 'remote-viewer' but
adding support for more clients can be easily done.
qemu with qxl support will run on port 8077/tcp, which doesn't belong to
any well-known service and represents 'PM' in decimal.

Quite a few things use dbus (plasma, hildon, ofono, connman,
networkmanager, etc) that I think it makes sense to just have this
started by default in pmOS rather than have every device package
implement this on their own.
In case someone shows up with a use-case, where dbus by default
is not desired, please speak up. Possible solutions are in #628.
'install' does not properly handle symlinks, it copies the entire file
instead of a symlink to it. This PR uses `cp -a` to preserve symlinks.
For example, with `install`, the files libc.musl-armhf.so.1 and
ld-musl-armhf.so.1 are the same size, despite the fact that in rootfs
libc.musl-armhf.so.1 is actually a symlink to ld-musl-armhf.so.1.
According to @drebrez research, the initramfs size shrunk from
1 567 930 to 1 168 591.
This adds a custom swap file service, which allows specifying a
recommended swap size in the deviceinfo file via
`deviceinfo_swap_size_recommended`. For the N900 this defaults
to 1024 MB now. As the swap file is created in the root partition,
we have encrypted swap now (unless encryption is disabled with
`--no-fde`).
* Check kernel config
* Allow specifying multiple kernel packages, and also no packages
which defaults to scanning all kernel configs (it is super fast
anyway)
* Add the check to Travis CI
* Adjust existing kernel configs, so they pass the kconfig_check.
(We've had to put in a lot of defaults in the aarch64
linux-postmarketos configs, that's why the diff is a bit unclean.)
* Increase modified kernel pkgrels
* Add msm-fb-refresher package and initfs config
* Bump version for pmos-mkinitfs
* Create msm-fb-refresher openrc service
* kill refresher when initfs is done
