Gstreamer enables hw de- and encoding by default for the most common APIs,
including V4L2-stateful. Unfortunately the venus driver is still quite
unstable, reliably crashing in very common scenarios, triggering apps
like Snapshot, Showtime or Tuba to show error messages or not working
properly - partly because of non-optimal error-handling.
Until the kernel driver situation improves, set environment variables
that demote the decoders to fallbacks in case nothing else is available,
and disable the hw-encoders completely as they tend to destabalise the
whole system if something goes wrong.
Useful command for env variables:
systemctl --user show-environment
This MR adds the boilerplate packaging needed for Mediaberry.
mbrt and sysapps are not included in this MR because Alpine Linux does not (yet?) package CEF.
For transparency: The packages here are based on the code from https://codeberg.org/lasagna/lasagna-pmaports.

Pretty sure when you already have a-z specified as range, second one
should be A-Z and not A-z.

Since 1.15.11 this is supported (see
https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/pull/5688/files). According
to the docs:
System-wide remotes can be statically preconfigured by dropping
flatpakrepo files into /usr/share/flatpak/remotes.d/ and
/etc/flatpak/remotes.d/. If a file with
the same name exists in both, the file under
/etc will take precedence.
This allows us to move the file without fear that if users disabled
or modified the repo, apk will keep the file in /etc and we won't
override it.
This is part of a wider effort to move things out of /etc and
into /usr

It is needed by udev, which is in initfs-extra. If libkmod and its
dependencies are put in the first initfs then the boot.img size
increases by roughly 2 MB, which is a problem for devices with small
boot partitions.

The current OOTB Gstreamer experience on Gnome DEs can be disappointing as
a lot of default codecs and elements are missing. This is often not obvious
for users as Gst in various cases has less optimal fallbacks, easily leaving
the impression that either an app, drivers or hardware are at fault.
Add the most important packages to pmb_recommends so users have a better time.
Notes:
- Many images already ship ffmpeg-libavcodec, so this shouldn't worsen the
legal situation.
- '-bad' is usually already pulled in indirectly while '-good' at least for
GS variants is already required. Both are strongly recommended for apps
like Showtime, Snapshot and many more mobile-friendly apps from the
ecosystem.
- '-bad' really isn't bad any more these days and various elements in it
are used by default if available. That is, many elements there should have
long moved to '-good'.
This was done in 7 steps:
* prepare by running pmbootstrap kconfig migrate
* fix up kconfig category:uefi
* fix up kconfig category:zram
* fix up kconfig category:default
* fix up kconfig category:default (NULL_TTY)
* fix up kconfig category:input
* bump pkgrels

The null TTY driver provides a proper (dummy) TTY interface when
console=null is set on the kernel cmdline. This fixes certain
applications which don't correctly handle read() immediately returning
with 0 bytes (e.g. busybox syslogd).
Most normal EFI devices don't boot with console=null and as such there
are various foot-guns littered all over Linux userspace and even in our
own initramfs. However some android devices even enforce console=null,
so it's something we have to deal with.
NULL_TTY should reduce the chance of folks running into strange problems
because of this.

The Xfce4 power manager can control the display brightness. It doesn't
save and restore it over boots, however. In distributions with systemd
this is handled by "systemd-backlight@.service". For OpenRC the package
brightnessctl offers a service saving the state of the brightness at
shutdown and reboot.
As brightnessctl is a rather simple tool and not specifically adapted to
Xfce4, it can get confused when the power manager e.g. lowers the display
brightness when on idle. To avoid such a hassle, the display power settings
were simplifyed in repository "xfce4-phone" version 0.5.3 (and needed a
correction in version 0.5.4). Users nonetheless can change them if desired.
The package was named tinydm instead of tinydm-systemd accidentally.
This will cause tinydm-start-session to vanish after upgrading,
completely breaking booting into any GUI that depends on tinydm.
(only systemd installations are affected)
when stdin is /dev/null (e.g. when console=null is on the kernel
cmdline) syslogd will call read() over and over and never handle the
SIGTERM we send it, pinning a CPU core on every boot.
Hooking up syslogd std I/O to /dev/zero prevents this.

This new version includes initial support for systemd (for bluetooth
only atm). udev rules are only installed for openrc systems, bt config
on systemd was replaced by a unit file and using bootmac for wifi has
