Update ov5640 autofocus related patch. We had it working with Martijn's
patch in 5.9.1_git20201019-r2 (MR 1654), but then dropped the patch in
favor of the patch that was added to megi's tree in 5.9.3_git20201101
(MR 1678).
It turns out that the patch added to megi's tree was different than the
patch we were carrying, it was a WIP version where loading the autofocus
firmware did not work anymore.
Megi decided to drop the autofocus patch from his tree for now, as the
firmware uploader takes more time in Martijn's proper patch. According
to Martijn it takes about a second, which seems reasonable for the
postmarketOS use case. I've added the previous version again as
out-of-tree patch.
Martijn found that for some reason the continuous autofocus still
doesn't want to start with this kernel and current patch version, as for
some reason the firmware load fails. But he extended the patch to make
autofocus work again with "tap to focus" at least.
0005-dts-pinephone-Disable-flash-led-in-OV5640-node.patch is not needed
anymore, the same change is in megi's tree.

The devices supported by this package are Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300, GT-I9305,
SHV-E210K/L/S) and the Galaxy Note 2 (GT-N7100, GT-N7105) - a family of
boards also known by the codename "Midas" - and the Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100)
From this list, only the i9100 doesn't support the bootimg method.
Because of this, this kernel package is using the isorec method for all
the devices on the list. Additionally, for the midas devices, there is
no problem with this because the boot.img file is, in fact, a copy of
the kernel+initramfs on the pmos boot partition and what the isorec
initramfs does is actually to load the initramfs on that partition
directly (at least on my understanding).
Use the dtb-appended kernel file, e.g. postmarketos-exynos4-dtb instead
of postmarketos-exynos4, if it is available. This is needed to flash a
mainline kernel with appended dtb to isorec devices.
This patches from the megi solves the issue of the MIPI-DSI panels
framerate being at 2/3rd of actual or expected rate.

Squeekboard >= 0.10.0 looks for an a11y setting to determine if it
should show up on the screen. This sets the config setting to 'true' so
that it shows up by default. It can apparently be toggled off in Gnome
Settings, but I haven't found the UI switch to do that yet..
Switch from the 5.8.x kernel with allwinner specific patches to megi's
5.9 based tree. He drives the PinePhone related kernel development
forward like no other, his tree and changes are well documented on
xnux.eu, and he frequently publishes tested "build this one" commits with
the latest improvements. It makes a faster and less time consuming
workflow to simply package these versions (after a smoke test) into
postmarketOS edge, and after some time to catch possible regressions
ship the same version in postmarketOS stable.
This kernel should make HDMI work for most people, and improve call
quality (thanks to smaeul's patches, which are integrated into megi's
tree).
Kernel config changes:
* Enable MODEM_POWER in the kernel config, among other improvements this
allows us to get rid of the 30s delay on power off.
* Enable CONFIG_DRM_PANEL_ILITEK_ILI9881C (new PineTab panel)
* Enable CONFIG_ZRAM
* Enable CONFIG_HID_MULTITOUCH

Thanks @vurpo for the tip.
We have tried out lightdm-mobile-greeter for three weeks, but let's remove
it again from the default install.
The greeter behaves completely different from the Phosh (or any other
UI's) lockscreen, therefore it provides a bad user experience. Not only
the design is different, but it also can't display the same information
as the Phosh lockscreen. You can't accept a call coming in while the
greeter is displayed, and whatever other features will be added to the
lockscreen in the future would not be in the greeter (e.g. making a photo
without logging in, emergency calls without login, ...).
It's clear to me now, that postmarketOS in the default installation
should install one UI in single-user mode, and that UI should use its
lockscreen to display all login screens. The case of having multiple UIs
installed at the same time is used rarely, so instead of optimizing for
it, document how to enable a greeter after the installation in the wiki:
https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Configure_postmarketOS_for_multiple_UIs_or_users
Besides the strong reasons above to ship with no greeter at all, we had
problems with lightdm-mobile-greeter in particular:
* It did not work with Plasma Mobile
* When HDMI was plugged in, the greeter was not usable (especially
annoying, because Phosh tends to crash after plugging in HDMI, so it
would go back to the greeter which then means you need to reboot)
This reverts commit be693339ec.
cpio expects a newline-separated list of files from stdin by default,
and you can change that to a NULL-terminated list of files by using the
'-0' switch.
Previously we were passing a NULL-terminated list ('-print0') and using
cpio with the default setting. For some reason busybox cpio works with
that but GNU cpio doesn't like that and generates an initramfs without
any files (as it only gets "a single file").
With this change the initramfs generation works fine with both busybox
cpio and gnu cpio.

Since
https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/merge_requests/12086 the
Cheese application won't be installed anymore unless explicitely
specified. Applications that usually depend on it now depend on
cheese-libs instead.
This means we can stop hiding it and allowing people to install it
themselves if they want too
This application doesn't work 100% when launched from the 'desktop', but
it is still useful as a handler for opening image files from a file
browser, so the icon is hidden.
eog is a nice image viewer that works pretty well on a
touchscreen/mobile display.
Nemo is a file manager from the Cinnamon desktop project, which forked
from Nautilus some time ago. It is much more usable than Nautilus on a
touchscreen/mobile display.
Set eog as default app in mimeapps.list, so it even works when hiding
the launcher with postmarketos-hidden-desktop-entries (we'll hide it,
because it doesn't work when opened directly; no image is shown and
opening a file does not work either). The list of associated mimetypes
is taken from here:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/eog/-/blob/master/data/org.gnome.eog.desktop.in.in
We now trigger on files in /usr/share/postmarketos-mkinitfs-triggers.
This can be used by other packages like osk-sdl for which an updated
version would otherwise never be used in the initramfs
Enable the freezer cgroup. This allows a user to start a large application like
firefox, freeze it to save some power, and unfreeze it to continue using it,
without having to restart the application completely. Stopping and restarting
the application completely results in more battery usage as well as lost state.

plasma-camera does not build for x86, because mpg123-libs-1.26.3-r0 is

Pressing power button should not power off a device. Although it is
expected on desktops and laptops, it isn't expected on phones and
tablets. Instead it should just turn off the screen or go into a deep
sleep, but that isn't handled by elogind. So let elogind just ignore the
button altogether.
Also re-order the dependencies alphabetically while we're touching the
package anyway
Previously we added the header in the kernel packages but as we already
add the ramdisk header here and to simplify the process we also add the
addition of the kernel header into mkinitfs.
With the new mobile-config-firefox, the window width is small enough
that the window does not need to be scaled. This looks better overall,
and avoids scaling glitches.
New version does not just support Firefox 68 (firefox-esr in Alpine 3.12),
which is going to be EOL soon. It also supports the new ESR 78
(firefox-esr in Alpine edge, soon also in 3.12, supported until ~2021-04)
and 79 (current stable "rapid release" version; firefox in Alpine edge).
The source was moved to a dedicated git repo, so other distributions can
also use it. Keep the distro-specific links here in a separate HTML
file, so they can be modified without changing
mobile-config-firefox.git.

Disable the first run screen in GNOME software, which invites the user
to browse and install apps. We do not want people to use GNOME software to
do that when they open it for the first time in postmarketOS after
installing, we want them to do updates. So this dialog is misleading for
our users, and will lead to a bad experience for those who follow what
it suggests.
I think there's more wrong with that dialog (in context of postmarketOS),
more detailed reasoning and screenshot in:
https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/merge_requests/1449#note_385456592
Replace firefox with firefox-esr, remove epiphany. With the current
version of epiphany, the postmarketOS wiki doesn't even load every time,
so that's not something we want to ship.
Add policies.json and prefs.js to configure Firefox (yes, you need both
to be able to control all this):
Mobile improvements:
* Enable zooming with fingers
* Mobile user agent (from tor browser for android)
Privacy improvements:
* Disable search suggestions, so URLs do not get sent to search engines
as they are getting typed.
* Disable Firefox studies
* Disable Telemetry
* Set DuckDuckGo as default search engine, not Google
Uncluttering (screen space, remove broken features, less distractions):
* Move all buttons to the overflow menu and remove spacers around the
address bar
* Empty "new tab" page (loads faster, no annoying "top sites" etc.)
* Disable developer tools, so the hamburger menu fits the screen of the
pinephone. These aren't really useful on phones anyway.
* Disable "Firefox Screenshots": the feature did not work with the mobile
resolution in Phosh.
* No default bookmarks from Firefox
* Disable First Run Page
* Disable Post Update Page
* Disable "User Messaging" (What's new, Extension/Feature
Recommendations, Urlbar Interventions)
Add a local html file that serves as lightweight default homepage. It
links to the postmarketOS blog and wiki, explains that this is desktop
firefox with mobile configuration and explains how to change settings
and install addons (with a direct link to ublock origin). Users can
override the homepage, new tab page, search engine, search suggestions
pre-configured by this package directly in the UI.
I chose Firefox ESR, because:
* It fits the screen better: the "new tab" button is bigger, the menu
opening when you click the top-right button actually fits the screen,
with all its submenus. There are zoom controls in the same menu, which
make the preferences pages very usable.
* It's possible to override the default search engine with a policy
file; that's not possible in non-ESR firefox (we'd probably need to
change it in the sources).

In phosh, we have broken Cheese (Camera) and Extensions (from GNOME shell)
icons in the launcher. They get dragged in via dependencies, so the
easiest way to disable them is just overruling the .desktop icon. We can
make Cheese visible again in a post-install script (just check if it
points to nodisplay.desktop and delete the link) once we have it working.
Hide icons for terminal programs (htop, nvim, vim) as well as "Firefox
Safe Mode" too. If somebody really wants to use the FF safe mode, they
can do so via terminal.
Have a simple initial version, maybe make it more sophisticated with
UI-specific hidden icons later (right now, it doesn't make sense to
install this in normal GNOME, because there you would need
org.gnome.Extensions). (There is "NotShowIn=phosh" (untested), but using
this would mean that we need to keep all the information of the original
desktop file for the UIs that will display them; we can't just use the
symlink trick. I'm not sure if we want that at all, but it's
definitively over-engineered for now.)
The p? is not redundant. Without it, the p in mmcblk0p2 for example does
not get cut off, meaning the resulting device is not "mmcblk0" but
"mmcblk0p". My bad, sorry for the breakage.
Fixes: 9f6600ba ("main/postmarketos-mkinitfs: rm pmOS_deleteme")
Fixes: 9d86f6fe ("main/postmarketos-mkinitfs: resize: unallocated space check, even if forced")
Remove the "pmOS_deleteme" partition left behind by the on-device
installer, if it exists. Let the existing resize_root_partition() extend
the root partition over the newly gained space (and rest of the storage
device) right afterwards.
In resize_root_partition(), put the unallocated space check into an
extra function has_unallocated_space(). Run it even if
PMOS_FORCE_PARTITION_RESIZE is used, so we don't attempt to resize the
partition if there is no free space.
While at it, change "sed 's/p?2$//'" to "sed 's/2$//' in an already
modified line, because it means the same thing and is less confusing
(? in regex means: 0 or 1 time).
Enable CONFIG_CRYPTO_XTS for each kernel, so we can switch to using
aes-xts-plain64 as default cipher for cryptsetup (override with
"pmbootstrap --cipher"), instead of aes-cbc-plain64 (pmbootstrap#1940).
I have executed "pmbootstrap kconfig edit" on each kernel, and manually
toggled the option. The diff is not always clean, because for some
kernels it is apparently the first time, that menuconfig was executed on
the configs like that. In a few instances, it turned out that
CONFIG_ANDROID_PARANOID_NETWORK needed to be disabled too (this is
already a requirement, but as the config was incomplete, it was not
visible that this option was enabled). Very few times, I had to enable
CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL in order to see and enable CONFIG_CRYPTO_XTS.
It would be great if we could automate such mass kconfig edits in the
future, see pmbootstrap#1942.
[skip ci]: I have verified, that every single one of these kernels builds.
CI will likely run out of time while downloading source tarballs.
Seems like "pmbootstrap kconfig edit" causes unrelated kernel config
changes for some reason (probably because pmbootstrap does not install
a cross compiler for it). For now let's just edit the config manually
with the new options so everything else stays as-is.
Only add a comment, do not try to mount the root or boot partitions
anymore. The initramfs is doing this already.
Related: https://postmarketos.org/fstab
Mount the boot partition at /sysroot/boot and keep it mounted, when
running the switch_root command. This way, OpenRC doesn't need to mount
it and possibly use the wrong partition. The OpenRC service does not use
the same logic to find the boot partition, in particular it does not
support the pmos_boot kernel parameter.
While at it, print the mountpoint and read-only/read-write arguments in
the mounting log message for both root and boot.
Fixes: #664
Get rid of the "write_unless_modified" code, which was supposed to only
change /etc/fstab, /etc/issue, /etc/motd if the user did not modify it.
This is nice in theory, but we have a bug report where the code did not
do what it should (apk audit possibly failed due to a qemu bug?), and
then it lead to strange bugs related to not having the expected
/etc/fstab installed.
Fixes: #661, #258
This enables mult-sensor support in sun6i-csi, support for the
gc2145 front camera, the new panel driver from mainline linux
and a small fix for the anx7688 that prevents it spamming the
kernel log when no cable is plugged in on 1.2a hardware.
gitlab.com had a service disruption, so it was not possible to "git
clone" from gitlab.com from some regions, like where the sourcehut
infrastructure is located. Since we are building our packages on
builds.sr.ht, this caused all packages that should be built at that time
to fail. It is working again, so bump the pkgrels to restart the builds.
This switch has happened in the Alpine repos quite a while ago and most
of the pmOS packages were using it already too, so let's switch over the
last ones as well.
This also cleans up the APKBUILDs where necessary
In the Linux kernel, the ST-Ericsson NovaThor U8500 SoC is barely
ever mentioned under the "NovaThor" name, more common are names like
U8500, Ux500, ST-Ericsson, STE, ...
Let's rename the kernel package to linux-postmarketos-stericsson
to make that more clear. Also cleanup the APKBUILD a bit while we're
at it, HOSTCC is unneeded, remove unnecessary depends, ...
We cannot have two of them at the same time, most compiler would fail here
but for some reason our didn't.
However, it's better to just use one (the new one, or the old one). Enable
CONFIG_RTL8723CS_NEW, which is the new driver that made it to pine64
kernel since 5.5.

At the moment we have Contributor: lines on some packages (but not all of them),
but often they don't represent the actual contributors to the package very well.
E.g. when we added them retroactively to the device packages we only added
the initial contributor (which isn't necessarily the person
who made most of the work for a device...)
The Git history is the most representative source for figuring out
who contributed to a package, so there is no reason to duplicate that

Read kernel module names from files in
/etc/postmarketos-mkinitfs/modules and print out which modules are
required by which of these files as the initramfs gets generated. Put
the default modules into a new 00-default.modules. This allows mkinitfs
hooks to add modules to the initramfs.
Parse the modules from a file similar to modules-load.d, with commented
lines and empty lines ignored. Add a simple test script for that and run
it in check().
Split mkinitfs.sh into two files, so the functions (now in
mkinitfs_functions.sh) can be sourced in a test. Such a test will be
added in the next commit.
Move $BINARIES_EXTRA into the get_binaries_extra() function, so its
$(find...) does not get executed when sourcing the functions file. Move
$BINARIES into get_binaries() too for consistency.
Make it pass shellcheck by fixing obvious mistakes like '==' instead of
'='. Add "shellcheck disable" lines for things that are intentionally done
or would be a bit more complicated to rewrite. It would be nice to
refactor some things like '${outfile/initramfs-/uImage-}', but this should
be done in a separate change (patches welcome).
Remove unused variable "modules_path". While at it, add two new fatal
error messages instead of just "exit 1" without any comment and remove
redundant mkdir in APKBUILD.
We'll use the new RTL8723CS driver in the kernel tree instead
of using the one that we have to fetch from GitHub.
