Don't install /etc/os-release with pmbootstrap, this is handled by
postmarketos-base instead.

Patch by Oliver, fixes #2000

Don't try to install the recently split up packages if the pmaports
branch is based on Alpine 3.12.

Fixes: 61845c93 ("pmb.run.qemu.install_depends: add new depends (MR 2007)")

Make sure that features requiring a higher python version don't sneak in
by accident.

It would be nice to add this to test/static_code_analysis.sh, so it is
easy to run it locally. But vermin is not packaged in Alpine right now,
and given that this should be a rather rarer error, it doesn't seem
worth the effort right now.

Run silently by default and only in verbose mode if there are errors,
because if vermin isn't silent, it will not just point out errors, but
describe required python versions for everything it sees. (Copied that
part from the bpo CI script, where I had used it as pre-commit hook as
it was stuck on 3.5 for some time.)

Adds a list of locales user can choose from on init step.
If locale isn't default, then "lang" package is installed
and LANG is changed to the chosen locale.

Skip building the postmarketOS rootfs, and allow either installing a
pre-built pmOS rootfs, or even another operating system.

Allow to copy one or more files to the install chroot. It will be
possible to use this to put a non-pmOS image into the generated
installer OS.

Alpine's qemu packaging has been split up into more subpackages, so
install them too.

Hide progress bars if --details-to-stdout is used, which redirects all
output that would land in the pmbootstrap log to stdout. This caused the
progress bar output to get mixed with the apk output. A new progress bar
would get drawn whenever a new package was installed, without removing
the previous progress bar.

Many of pmbootstrap's actions require root rights. When after requesting
sudo access pmbootstrap takes longer than the sudo timeout interval to finish
execution, the password will have to be entered again on the next sudo
action.

This change adds an opt-in feature to run sudo -v in a background loop
in order to prevent having to enter the password more than once for a single
pmbootstrap run. The loop runs as a daemon timer which automatically gets
canceled when pmbootstrap exits.

Closes: #1677

Replace the "kill_as_root" argument with a much simpler "sudo" argument
and remove the now obsolete check for the output mode of "kill_as_root".

"kill_as_root" would only get set to True if both conditions are met:
a) command is running with sudo
b) command is running with an output mode ("log" or "stdout") where
   pmb.helpers.run_core would kill it if it does not output anything
   before a timeout is reached

The new "sudo" argument just indicates if the command is running with
sudo (a), regardless of the output mode (b).

Fix typo introduced in earlier commit and expand on force=True behavior

The sideload command runs the supplied names through the pmbootstrap
buildsystem to make sure they're up-to-date, then uses scp from the host
to copy the built apks to /tmp on the phone and installs them through
ssh.

If the --install-key option is set then it will also copy over the apk
key that's used for signing the packages built by pmbootstrap in case
the postmarketOS install on the device isn't build by the same machine
as you're sideloading from.

Get rid of hardcoded step numbers, even for the currently common steps.
With the upcoming --ondev --no-rootfs, we will need to skip the
hardcoded step 2 (create device rootfs).

Move related code from pmb/install/_install.py:install() to a new
create_device_rootfs() function in the same file, so it can be skipped
with the upcoming --no-rootfs parameter.

Run pmbootstrap update to test

This adds a progress bar when running apk commands both inside and
outside of the chroot.

Closes: #1700

Extract the error check to a separate function so that it can be
reused.

This adds a new output mode "pipe" that is identical to the existing
"background" mode except for that its stdout is redirected into a
pipe so that it can be retrieved.

Before this commit, pmb.helpers.run_core.sanity_checks would raise
a runtime error when pmb.helpers.run.root was called with an output
mode that did not support timeouts (like background).

This makes the output mode apparent

This makes apk use the pretty character for printing progress

Adds checks for following kernel config options:
SAMSUNG_TUI:
    TUI HW Handler - related to Samsung's security measures
    Creates "secure frame buffer", results in bootloop
SEC_RESTRICT_ROOTING:
    blocks gaining root permissions
TZDEV:
    Samsung TZ Based Secure OS interface driver
    (results in bootloops)

Create an empty home dir if /etc/skel does not exist in the target
rootfs. Due to changes in packaging, this can happen now, previously
/etc/skel would always have existed.

Closes #1991

This is needed at least on Alpine Linux, and probably on distros like NixOS as well.

Fixes: #1135

Makes argument "package" positional instead of required.
Uses codename from deviceinfo as default value.

Move the numerous "install" arguments into an own function (as it was
done with actions added later). Categorize the options and update the
help output, so the options are easier to understand.

Embed the firmware from the right chroot suffix. Previously it would
always use the rootfs_{args.device} chroot, which does not work anymore
with upcoming 'pmbootstrap install --ondev --no-rootfs' as there will
only be the installer_{args.device} chroot.

Adds QCDT templates for Spreadtrum and Exynos SoCs
When "pmbootstrap init" is executed, after the boot image analysis,
if the device is QCDT, then the user is asked about the SoC vendor.
Example:
[HH:MM:SS] SoC vendor (spreadtrum/exynos/other) [other]: exynos
After that, the corresponding template is picked.

Enforce the E501 length check of max 79 characters for all files where
this test passes already. We can add more to the list as we adjust them
and eventuelly require the check for all files.
