USB tethering allows users to use their phone's WiFi or WWAN interface
as an access point for the device they connect the phone with over USB.
This way, they can use their data plan with a laptop or desktop when
regular Internet access is absent.
Configure NetworkManager to manage the usb0 iface from initfs so users
can configure it in GNOME Settings or KDE. Include a NetworkManager
dispatcher script as well to handle postmarketOS' setup with unudhcpd as
we want to provide an SSH login over USB when tethering is disabled. If
tethering is enabled, unudhpcd is stopped and its functionality is taken
over by NetworkManager through an instance of dnsmasq. NetworkManager
will also configure the necessary settings to allow IP forwarding and
firewall rules during tethering. Once disabled, NetworkManager cleans up
these settings and our dispatcher script starts unudhcpd again.
Due to upstream changes, NetworkManager requires networkmanager-dnsmasq
subpackage as dependency as dnsmasq needs DBus support for
NetworkManager. Without it, NetworkManager will silently fail spawning
dnsmasq instances.

This uses a dispatcher script to configure filtering A and AAAA records
based on which IP versions are routable on the NM primary connection.
gojq is preferred over the 'standard' jq because it's considerably
faster... the dispatcher script took 0.89s on my L5 with jq, and 0.07s
with gojq. the difference is probably greater on slower phones... so it
seemed worth installing it.

- Move base files/modules out of package, this package now only provides
the mkinitfs tool.
- Add all required modules, these were copied over from
postmarketos-mkinitfs and sorted
- Use new exe name in trigger
- Update triggers to ignore /etc, add /usr/share/mkinitfs. No packages
should be installing into /etc/mkinitfs/
- Support building/installing docs
- Add vendored deps
- Change trigger path
This package contains base file and module lists for the initramfs /
initramfs-extra archives, along with the init.sh
The primary reason for doing this is so that changes to these
files/lists can be properly versioned (in pkgver), and (re)building
mkinitfs itself is no longer required for these changes.
- Add base file list for initramfs. The dirs at path
/usr/share/postmarketos-mkinitfs/* are "new" in mkinitfs 2.0
- Install default modules to /usr/share
- Install system config to /usr/share/mkinifs
- Add base files for -extra archive
- Create user config dirs
- Update hook dirs in init.sh, change from mkinitfs 2.0
- Remove splash images, obsolete since pbsplash
- Support uncompressed initramfs-extra
Note that the URLs in these scripts are not only for information, but
they are also used as marker by pmbootstrap so it knows these are
compatible with 'pmbootstrap ci'. I just fixed the typo in the
pmbootstrap code as well and made a new release, use pmbootstrap 1.50.0
or above to have it recognize these scripts with 'pmbootstrap ci' again.
Split out the grep for CHANGEME into a separate .ci/grep.sh script, as
it's not related to shellcheck and also there's another grep check that
I'll move there in a follow-up patch.
Adjust to shellcheck removal in Alpine. Currently it's still in edge for
x86_64, but installation fails with:
ERROR: unable to select packages:
so:libffi.so.7 (no such package):
required by: shellcheck-0.7.2-r1[so:libffi.so.7]
Use the official static binary release from shellcheck instead of the
Alpine package. Version 0.7.2 is intentionally used instead of latest
8.0.0, since the latter generates a new warning. Let's unbreak CI first
before adjusting to a newer shellcheck version.

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)
