Unmaintained is a name which on multiple occasions have seen lead to
confusion with people having the impression that unmaintained is for all
unmaintained devices, which is not how we're really using it. Many
devices in testing do not actually have a maintainer, yet there has been
no push to move these out of there and into unmaintained.
I think this is a result of that unmaintained was introduced not to keep
unmaintained ports but rather a place to store ports that have a better
replacement but where the inferior one still holds some sort of value,
such as for debugging purposes. These ports also are not necessarily
entirely unmaintained and see more fixes than many ports in testing.
While one approach to solving this problem could be to simply moving all
unmaintained ports to unmaintained, I think this comes with some
problems: It would require an initial effort to figure out which ports
are indeed unmaintained and which just don't have a maintained noted in
the package, and given how many ports there are in testing this would be
a big endeavour. It would also require continuous work on moving ports
into unmaintained as the maintainers go silent if we are to keep testing
and unmaintained's state consistent with reality. Additionally, just
because a port doesn't have a maintainer on paper doens't mean that
there aren't people who aren't willing to fix it up if there are issues
that arise.
As such, I think the way to go is renaming unmaintained to better
reflect the original intent. Thanks to Luca Weiss for suggesting
"archive", and to Arnav Singh for suggesting that "archived" would match
the other category names better.

Heavily based on z3ntu's work on FP5, thanks for all your work!

pipewire-media-session was dropped in alpine in
4dc6a181bf590339f29a279fb7c4b9ae3c26c5fa, more than one year ago, so
this should be safe
While at it, also drop pipewire dependency, that is now a dependency
of postmarketos-base-ui

pmos-base-ui now
No longer builds, can't be bothered to investigate why as the error is
unusual and I don't understand it. See issue linked below for more
detailed information.

Device uses heimdall flash method by default, with uppercase
partition name in it's PIT file. This conflicts with flash on update,
because in Linux partitions named in lowercase. To resolve this conflict,
default flash method changed to fastboot. Heimdall still can be used with
`--method` flag: `pmbootstrap flasher --method heimdall-bootimg flash_kernel`
- enable flash on update flag.
- change default flash method to 'fastboot'
U-boot doesn't output bootscript logs, which makes it hard to debug.
Put bootscript to prebootscript section. Preboot is executed before
boot, and u-boot displays it's logs.
Enabled WiFi OOTB on some intel-based macbooks

- Drop -mesa subpackage, this is handled by postmarketos-base now
- Add 'quiet' kernel cmdline param to hide kernel messages on boot by
default
- set chassis type to 'desktop'
- re-add firmware-ath6kl, this used to be included in the old
tablet-x86uefi but was accidentally dropped when that was merged into
this generic device package
- adds kconfigcheck-containers
- adds missing kconfigcheck-community options
- adds some missing dynamic debug stuff
- also adds kconfig options required by libcamera, because why not.
