We have linux-postmarketos-qcom and linux-postmarketos-qcom-msm8916 now,
which is quite confusing. linux-postmarketos-qcom was originally added
for MSM8974 devices (e.g. Nexus 5) and its patches on top of mainline
are therefore quite focused on MSM8974.
linux-postmarketos-qcom-msm8916 on the other hand, has patches specific
to MSM8916. The two packages do not have any patch in common, therefore
merging the two would only cause signficiant overhead to coordinate
testing for devices of the two SoCs.
Therefore, it is better to keep them separate.
To avoid confusion, rename linux-postmarketos-qcom to
linux-postmarketos-qcom-msm8974 to make it clear that it is really
a close-to-mainline kernel for MSM8974 devices.
[ci:skip-build]: already built successfully in CI
Use the new mesa-freedreno package. Configure inittab to start a
terminal on ttyMSM0 (serial). Remove fbdev from xorg.conf and set
SWCursor on.
Based on patches from Brian Masney.
We don't need to append the dtb to the kernel image in all cases, with
e.g. the u-boot bootloader we can load the dtb seperately from the
kernel image. Introduce a new variable deviceinfo_append_dtb, if set to
"true", append the dtb, otherwise just copy the dtb file to the boot
partition.
Fixes#260
[ci:ignore-count]
Use the device's architecture instead of noarch. Because the device
packages should never be built for other architectures, even if all
depends can be built for other arches as well.
This simplifies package building as part of the new build
infrastructure effort.
pmbootstrap has also been changed to output this by default in
aportgen.
* Travis and Coveralls badges
* aports: instead of <https://github.com/postmarketOS>, use
<https://postmarketos.org>
* References to full URLs to issues and pull requests replaced with
a hash and the number
* grsec check: simplify error message, remove link to github issue
(nobody is using that anymore anyway)
- depend on the firmware-lg-hammerhead-modem and
firmware-lg-hammerhead-adsp
- depend on the modem-qcom-msm-mainline-common
Currently adsp firmware is not used actually given upstream kernel
doesn't have support for adsp/sound subsystem. But it will be used
eventually.
The `msm-fb-refresher` updates the screen for msm based devices. It is
not needed for all devices, so we had some extra code in the initramfs,
that would only add it when the `deviceinfo_msm_refresher` variable was
set. However, we are able now to add files to initramfs hooks, so this
hack can be removed and simplify everything.
Changes:
* Remove `deviceinfo_msm_refresher` from all deviceinfos
* Add sanity check for it
* Move all `deviceinfo` sanity checks to an extra function
* `postmarketos-mkinitfs`: remove code for msm refresher
* `msm-fb-refresher`: add initramfs hook
- Currently just graphics along with weston tested
- Depend on firmware-adreno from device-lg-hammerhead
- Reduce dep of linux-firmware
- Just pull qcom, bracm and adreno firmware
* Add nonfree_firmware subpackage to all devices, that depend on
nonfree firmware.
* Some packages were depending on `linux-firmware`, but without having
Wifi working. Removed that dependency as it was probably added by
accident. If it was really necessary, chosing the appropriate
split linux-firmware package (e.g. linux-firmware-brcm) is better
anyway (that has been changed recently in Alpine and is possible
now).
* Add a test case that makes sure we don't have firmware depends
without subpackages in device aports anymore.
* device-*: add postmarketos-base to depends
* aportgen: add postmarketos-base to depends
* Add test case
* postmarketos-base: Don't depend on devicepkg
* msm-fb-refresher: Enable service in post-install
* Rename deviceinfo variable flash_methods to flash_method
* Update pmb.config.deviceinfo_attributes / add sanity check
* Add test case that parses all deviceinfo files
* 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
@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
