We may wish to distribute some files that are explicitly
non-free, and it makes sense to place them in a separate
non-free directory rather than in main.
Unmaintained devices are device packages that:
- Are known to be broken in some way without an active maintainer
who can investigate how to fix it, or
- Have not received any updates for a very long time, or
- Are discouraged from using because they are just intended for testing.
An example for this are ports using the downstream kernel for devices
which have a mainline port that is working quite well.
Unmaintained devices are still built by bpo (otherwise it would not make
sense to keep them), but they do not show up in "pmbootstrap init".
However, it is possible to manually select them by entering the name.
pmbootstrap will warn in that case.
Unmaintained packages should have a # Unmaintained: <reason> comment
in the APKBUILD, this comment is displayed in "pmbootstrap init"
so that the user knows why the device should not be used unless they
know what they are doing.
Libhybris is failing to build for armhf too. Instead of adding !armhf
everywhere, let's just remove it: as it became clear in #703, nobody is
willing to put in the effort to maintain this properly.
If you would like to continue with libhybris on postmarketOS, please
create your own aports repository and put the aports there.

Instead of encouraging the user to add the directory to
test_directory_structure.py, mention that we just moved the firmware to
device/{main,community,testing}/. This will be more helpful for users
who get the message after rebasing on master.
In the rare case that we need to change the directory structure, we will
figure out which file to edit.
[ci skip]: various firmware packages fail when built at the same time
(they use generic source files like "bcmdhd.cal" with different checksums)
It seems that the .gitlab-ci.yml did not trigger properly when the file
was changed last time, and now it does in this MR. Fix the file to make
it pass.
pmbootstrap now allows APKBUILDs in arbitrarily nested directories
within pmaports. This means that we really need some checks to ensure
APKBUILDs don't end up all over the place.
Add a test case with a whitelist of allowed directories.
Having this list in pmaports allows changing it without a new pmbootstrap
release.
