Previously it was assumed that with the counter and the sleep 0.1 the
process would take about 10 seconds to complete. On newer devices with
tens or even hundreds of partitions going through all partitions already
takes a significant amount of time, so change the logic to measure the
time elapsed instead.
This fixes DNS when a system is connected to a pmOS device as a hotspot.
The rule is in the default set of firewall rules, instead of a
subpackage.. I think this is OK. I don't believe anything should be
listening on port 53 except when the hotspot is running...
This directory is specified by the XDG Base Directory specification
(https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html).
Quoting:
> User-specific executable files may be stored in $HOME/.local/bin.
> Distributions should ensure this directory shows up in the UNIX $PATH environment variable, at an appropriate place.
So let's actually do this. This way also binaries installed by e.g. Pip
or Cargo will be usable out-of-the-box rather than that the user has to
figure out why it's not appearing in their PATH.
With Phosh 0.13.0, Logind is used without patches for the torch
as UPower doesn't want to handle this. Therefore, we can drop
the torch patches to UPower.

I believe everything here has been merged in master, so let's build that
for now (since it includes at least 1 additional fix not in the patches
that were dropped here)
Disable debug options and SMP, and remove support for other platforms.
Unixbench reports a speedup for process creation and syscalls, from
Process Creation 126.0 1043.8 82.8
System Call Overhead 15000.0 235497.3 157.0
to
Process Creation 126.0 1826.7 145.0
System Call Overhead 15000.0 421030.2 280.7
Updated the kernel to the latest version from LineageOS [1] (branch
`cm-14.1`), copied their configuration file and updated it according
to `pmbootstrap kconfig check`. Previous kernel was from `cm-12.1`
branch.
Fixed firmware package. Switched firmware source to
LineageOS/TheMuppets and install only the Wi-Fi firmware, but into the
correct directory. Previously all available firmware was simply copied
into wrong directories.

The flavor string was naively parsed using sed by removing everything
before the first hyphen, this breaks for -rc kernels. Instead lets glob
/usr/share/kernel for the installed kernel flavor. This will also
prevent the kernel being flashed if the running kernel has a different
localversion than the updated one.

Add ttyescape, a script and triggerhappy configuration to allow mobile device
users to access and use a shell without having to plug in to a computer.
One of the largest limitations with a mobile device is the lack of keyboard, for
mainstream OSs like Android and iOS, this is a non-issue as the whole OS stack
is built to automatically recover in case of a crash / hang, hiding the internal
state of affairs from users and making use of careful design to minimise the
impact. When bringing Linux to mobile, we carry not only the benefits of the
Linux desktop but also it's limitations. In the event that your desktop manager
goes haywire or hangs completely, or your graphics drivers get unhappy, the
ability to quickly jump to a tty and start killing bad behaving programs or
reset your display manager is one that most of us take for granted. But when
hit by similar errors on a mobile device there is no such recourse available,
users either have to reboot and hope that the issue doesn't occur again, or pull
out a laptop and pull up a shell (assuming ssh is enabled and the rndis
interface comes up).
ttyescape proposes to solve this issues by pieceing together several already
available tools, notably:
- triggerhappy, a tool used to perform actions when
certain buttons or key combinations are pressed with no dependencies on the
display manager in use.
- fbkeyboard, a framebuffer keyboard for tty's, it
renders on top of the current tty and uses the device touchscreen as input.
This device runs on linux-postmarketos-rockchip which at the moment of
writing is 5.13.0 with (only) 6 patches applied, so close-to mainline.
I personally use 2 of these devices with postmarketOS installed daily as
my homeserver setup and it has worked really well. It's also a good
target to run Plasma Bigscreen on as a TV setupbox
gzip results in a boot.img that's too big (over 8 MB) for e.g.
samsung-i9300, so let's replace it with something that produces
smaller kernels. With this, the entire boot.img is 6,3 MB (down
from 8MiB, or 8.5458944 MB) which leaves plenty of space on the
8 MB partition and prevents the recovery from being overwritten
when this kernel is flashed.
Tested and works on samsung-i9300.

The networkmanager hotspot needs to have DHCP input enabled on the wifi
interfaces so the temporary dnsmasq instance can work. The
networkmanager backend is also switched to the nftables one so it can
create the ad-hoc hotspot forwarding/masquerade table.
Proper fix for the monospace fonts seen when postmarketos-ondev is
installed without also installing osk-sdl. This doesn't happen anymore
with pmbootstrap install --ondev, because it will always pull in osk-sdl
again for other reasons. However, since postmarketos-ondev is using this
font, let's directly depend on it instead of having it pulled in as side
effect of also having osk-sdl installed.
And extend bootloader CMDLINE per default, giving us the option to
change the CMDLINE both via the kernel config and from samsung's
S-BOOT shell.
Note: the default console in exynos_defconfig (which this config is
based on) is ttySAC1, but all midas devices uses ttySAC2, so set it to
ttySAC2 instead. Also remove all other variables. They are not needed,
and (at least) root=/dev/ram0 seem to prevent us from booting pmos.
