This has been out-of-date for almost a year with seemingly stalled
progress on the existing upgrade MR[1] for months now; it really seems
like no one wants to maintain this which currently leaves this
"force-installed-by-default" packaged image broken on all wlroots-based
Wayland compositors for example.
[1] https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/merge_requests/3091 ("Draft: main/waydroid-image: upgrade to 17.1.20220419")
At the moment almost all device packages force installation of the Mesa
drivers, even when they are not used by any application (for example on
a minimal headless installation with "none" or "console" UI).
Omitting mesa-dri-gallium from such installations saves about ~150 MiB
of disk space (469 MiB -> 317 MiB rootfs for minimal installation on
arrow-db410c).
The "classic" drivers have been removed from Mesa so only one mesa-dri-
package exists now: mesa-dri-gallium contains all Mesa drivers,
llvmpipe, freedreno, lima, panfrost, Intel (iris/crocus), ...
This means we can easily create an install_if package in
postmarketos-base that installs that driver package only if needed
(= only if another package requires the "mesa" package).
Strictly speaking the install_if could be restricted further since
mesa-dri-gallium is only needed by "mesa-egl", "mesa-gbm" and "mesa-gl"
but not e.g. the Vulkan drivers. Having three postmarketos-base
subpackages (one install_if for each of them) seems a bit
overengineered, though. "mesa" is a common dependency of all three
of them, so using install_if="... mesa" should be good enough.

this also adds an explicit dependency on the font, since it may not have
been installed if postmarketos-ui-base was installed... (e.g. ui=None)
The xfce4-battery-plugin doesn't need to be installed anymore since we
switched to the "power manager plugin" in postmarketos-ui-xfce4 0.5.0.
The link to the old PostmarketOS icon isn't needed anymore for new
installations.

This is possible now that all SDL (1) applications use sdl12-compat
instead of "classic" SDL 1.2. Note that this only is applied to user
interfaces that use Wayland and are launched through tinydm.

Don't build with !tracedeps, as otherwise the isl dependency is not
properly added to the built gccs. In practice this probably doesn't
matter since we only use these old gccs to build kernels in the native
chroots (not via crossdirect in foreign arch chroots), and we also
install a proper gcc in the native chroot that pulls in the isl
dependency. But fix it for correctness.

We already ship Angelfish and shipping 2 browser takes up a lot of
space. Besides Angelfish feels more native in Plasma Mobile (being baed
on Qt and made for mobile) and has a built-in adblocker nowadays so it
seems like the better option.
urfkill hasn't been used for quite a while, no need to keep it around
Motivation for this change is that the image builds of the UI are
currently running out of space so we need to decrease the image size
Actually package pulseaudio is needed instead of pulseaudio-utils.
Package pulseaudio-utils then gets drawn in by postmarketos-base-ui
sub-package pulseaudio.
For Xfce4 this is a cosmetic change because pulseaudio gets installed
as a dependency of pavucontol already. Keeping pulseaudio in the
_pmb_reccomends list makes sense to be clear which pieces are needed.
For MATE an explicit installation of pulseaudio is needed because it
doesn't use pavucontrol.

Since c49d84f4ab1856156d26d59f5c88387776990d24 in Alpine's aports,
the sm.puri.OSK0.desktop service no longer tries to execute
/usr/bin/osk-wayland and instead just executes /usr/bin/squeekboard
directly, thus avoiding this needless indirection. virtboard hasn't
existed in postmarketOS for years at this point and squeekboard is
a hard dependency of phosh, so it's always going to be present
(thus making this check unnecessary) and the fallback if it isn't
wouldn't work anyway.

At this point the only application preconfigured to be scaled was GNOME
Maps, which nowdays adapts just fine to narrow screens. Having it scaled
like this by default only degrades the user experience by making UI
elements tiny and hard to interact with.
Closes https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/issues/1716
This would mitigate issues where apk unexpectedly replaces packages
somewhat as this way the user will be able to see precisely what changes
will happen to their system before they are committed. Furthermore, most
users are likely accustomed to package managers like apt, dnf, pacman,
among others that all are interactive by default and as such this would
provide a more familiar experience for them.
This will not affected pre-existing installs, and advanced users who
do not like this behaviour can restore the old one by deleting
/etc/apk/interactive.

After PulseAudio support for MATE sound was enabled in Alpine Linux,
its interfaces are now available in the native MATE sound settings.
The additional PulseAudio volume control application therefore became
redundant.

Don't install the experimental gnome-mobile forks of gnome-shell and
mutter in regular GNOME. These are probably more stable, and most
importantly this prevents accidental uninstallation of gnome-shell
without installing gnome-mobile-shell.
Revert the addition of the gnome-shell dependency to
postmarketos-ui-gnome. This isn't needed anymore and caused further
issues.
Fixes: issue 1701
Since merging the gnome shell on mobile MR 3404, gnome-shell needs to be
explicitly installed or else it gets removed on upgrade.

It's broken and I currently don't have any interest in fixing it or
maintaining it in general. If somebody wants to package it later they
can always restore it
Previously only cross/gcc{4,6}-* packages were adjusted in MR 3419, but
these packages need to be adjusted as well.
Fix for error shown in upstream_compat check:
Increase 'gcc6' pkgrel (10 -> 11), missing depend(s): isl
Increase 'gcc4' pkgrel (5 -> 6), missing depend(s): isl

Firefox packaging changed upstream, renaming the desktop files. This
caused the mime applications to be stale, so update those.
