At the moment we check that the kernel variants for a device package
match the suffix of an existing linux-postmarketos-<suffix> package.
However, in most cases the name of the kernel subpackage has nothing
to do with the actual kernel that is used:
- the kernel subpackages usually have generic names like "mainline" or
"downstream", which have nothing to do with the actual suffixes like
"qcom-msm8916", "allwinner" or "novathor"
- pine64-dontbeevil uses kernel subpackages to switch between
"longts" and "shortts" device tree variants. Both are actually
using linux-postmarketos-allwinner.
So far we have been whitelisting names like "longts" or "shortts",
but the check does not seem very useful overall.
Removing it fixes the following CI failure for MSM8916:
RuntimeError: Invalid kernel subpackage name 'mainline-modem',
valid: ['downstream', 'rpi', 'rpi2', 'longts', 'shortts', 'stable', 'mainline',
'allwinner', 'qcom-msm8916', 'qcom-msm8974', 'novathor']
Without this, the device will simply run the broken ACPI DSDT table, so
we might as well update it. If we had put it into a subpackage, it
would not be possible to use the fixed DSDT without any other firmware
packages.
Check if all device packages have the same arch in their device
APKBUILD as they have in their deviceinfo. And that they have
!archcheck set in the options.
Copy all test cases from the pmbootstrap repository, that are actually
testing the aports. They were all adjusted to work nicely in this
repository, together with a brand new set of gitlab-ci configs.
This also includes the changes from this merge request, that had a
better detection of changed packages:
