Further adjustments. It would have been better if I tried to build
it first, sorry for that. Another patch is coming in the pmbootstrap
repo, which makes it work even without the gcc6 pmaport.
Copy Alpine's gcc6 aport to temp. They don't have it built for aarch64
and armhf at the moment. Due to dependency checks, this means we can't
build the kernels that need gcc6, even when cross compiling with
gcc6-armhf etc. See #138 for details.
Do not add --pixman-type to the commandline, when
deviceinfo_weston_pixman_type is filled out.
--pixman-type was enabled in Weston with a custom patch, that currently
prevents us from upgrading Weston (#136).
The option allowed working around broken framebuffer drivers in
Android downstream kernels, which reported the wrong color format.
But it only works for Weston, the right way to patch this would be
patching the kernels, and we have some approaches here:
https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Troubleshooting:display#My_screen_is_red.21
When rendering on framebuffer, always do software rendering. This
should make it possible to boot up Plasma Mobile on most devices with
downstream kernels, although terribly slow. Still better than a black
screen though. Tested and working on the samsung-i9100.
We can improve the code and possibly make the rendering mode
configurable per device once we experimented more with:
* llvmpipe vs. softpipe on various devices
* armv7 (around the corner in Alpine)
* a proper display manager like lightdm
This is a simple backport of the getrandom syscall. It does not
include other changes to the random interface like periodic or
late re-seeding which might be necessary to get good random numbers.
Both depend on qt5-qtwebengine, which needs to be rebuilt in Alpine
after the soname bump of libavformat [1]. Disable them for now, so
plasma mobile can still be installed, and the pmbootstrap test case
that installs it runs through again.

These can be manually generated when one really wants to cross compile
from arm to x86_64. Usually this is not needed, so let's save the
compile time. [skip ci]
This covers most use cases and saves a lot of build time. Can be
changed on demand. Again, this simplifies package building as part of
the new build infrastructure effort. [skip ci]
Adjust the mime-type that gets used to find executables to
application/x-pie-executable and change the APKBUILD logic to print out
a meaningful error when the executables can not be found.
Also fix the broken patch logic (doesn't display an error anymore).
Check if all device packages have the same arch in their device
APKBUILD as they have in their deviceinfo. And that they have
!archcheck set in the options.
Use the device's architecture instead of noarch. Because the device
packages should never be built for other architectures, even if all
depends can be built for other arches as well.
This simplifies package building as part of the new build
infrastructure effort.
pmbootstrap has also been changed to output this by default in
aportgen.
