- completely remove support for building under `buster` -- that's way too old, sorry.
- de-hardcode `python3` invocations, instead use `python3_binary_path` set by `prepare_python3_binary_for_python_tools()`
- juggle `$HOSTRELEASE`: read from actual host, or determined from Docker image name (during Dockerfile build)
- TL;DR: include and use `python3.9` for focal-like host OS's
- introduce `do_with_conditional_logging()` which only starts logging sections if `do_logging=no`
- with this we should get complete logs (ofc except for the interactive sections)
- config might run on a non-Linux, bash-capable, GNU coreutils enabled machine, so avoid `linux-version`
- use `declare -g` instead of `export` for most of `prepare_and_config_main_build_single()`
- Python patching: tune some logging all-around
- Python patching: *FINALLY* set the dates on the patched files to `max(patch_date, root_makefile_date)` thus making lighting-fast rebuilds again
- new EXTRAWIFI patch generator harness; Python patching EXTRA_PATCH_FILES_FIRST
- Python patching: use temp file for patching rejects; clean it up
- new EXTRAWIFI patch generator harness; Python: mark drivers as autogen, don't split or parse them, read as bytes, apply bytes directly
- new EXTRAWIFI patch generator harness; somewhat-works, but patches are per-family
- Python patching: add the `cache/patch` as a mountpoint
- Darwin Docker performance is 20x with namedvolume; the cached patches are very large
- Python patching: hopefully better Markdown: split series dir; detect more status/problems; arche only for missing Subject
- Python patching: archeology only for missing Subject:, not description; clarify CLI pushing
- Python patching: use `{file_base_name}.patch` for archeology as `file_name` might include a dir
- Python patching: fix: don't skip board/target patches for no reason
- Python patching: fix for series.conf patches (sunxi/sunxi64): don't sort; mark as series and show on summary
- Python patching: don't fail if archeology found no commits (but add warning)
- Python patching: CLI command `kernel-patches-to-git` with archeology summary, and git pushing of results & summary
- Python patching: patches-to-git small fixes, auto-push if it's rpardini
- Python patching: add `patch-kernel` CLI command
- Python patching: commit README.md & gh-pages workflow when apply_patches_to_git
- Python patching: hopefully better markdown
- Python patching: `git add` everything all at once, for speed
- armbian-next: fixes to ORAS-related logging
- armbian-next: actually enable ORAS-based kernel git bare tree seeding/bundles; enable cleaning of bundle articfacts after confirmed working
- armbian-next: introduce ORAS-based kernel git bare tree seeding/bundles (although it is a .tar, not a bundle); this is 20x faster than cloning
- armbian-next: introduce `ORAS` tooling; pull and push functions & downloader/launcher
- WiP: Python patching delusion, pt 1: finding & parsing patches; apply & git commit with pygit2; Markdown summaries (also for aggregation); git-to-patches tool
- Python: Markdown aggregation and patching summaries; collapsible; SummarizedMarkdownWriter
- Python: Markdown aggregation and patching summaries
- Python: reorg a bit into common/armbian_utils; define the `ASSET_LOG_BASE` in preparation for Markdown delusion
- Python patching: initial apply patches & initial commit patches to git (using pygit2)
- Python patching: add basic `series.conf` support
- Python patching: force use of utf-8; better error handling; use realpath of dirs
- Python patching: `git-to-patches` initial hack. not proud. half-reused some of the patches-to-git
- Python patching: "tag" the git commits with info for extracting later; introduce REWRITE_PATCHES/rewrite_patches_in_place
- Python patching: commented-out, recover-bad-patches hacks
- Python patching: shorten the signature
- Python patching: allow BASE_GIT_TAG as well as BASE_GIT_REVISION
- Python patching: git-archeology for patches missing descriptions; avoid UTF-8 in header/desc (not diff)
- Python patching: use modern-er email.utils.parsedate_to_datetime to parse commit date
- Python patching: unify PatchInPatchFile; better git-commiting; re-exporting patches from Git (directly)
- Python patching: switch to GitPython
- GitPython is like 100x slower than pygit2, but actually allows for date & committer
- also allows to remove untracked files before starting
- Python aggregation: fix missing `AGGREGATED_APT_SOURCES_DICT`
- Python patching: add `unidecode` dependency to pip3 install
- Python patching: don't try archeology if SRC is not a Git Repo (eg, in Docker)
- Python patching: don't try archeology if not applying patches to git
- WiP: Python patching delusion, pt2: actually use for u-boot & kernel patching
- Python patching: much better problem handling/logging; lenient with recreations (kernel)
- Python patching: don't force SHOW_LOG for u-boot patching
- Python patching: don't bomb for no reason when there are no patches to apply
- Python patching: fully (?) switch kernel patching to Python
- Python patching: more logging fixups
- Python patching: capture `kernel_git_revision` from `fetch_from_repo()`'s `checked_out_revision`
- Python patching: fully switch u-boot patching to Python
- Python aggregation/patching: colored logging; patching: always reset to git revision
- Python aggregation/patching: better logging; introduce u-boot Python patching
- Python patching pt3: recovers and better Markdown
- Python patching: detect, and rescue, `wrong_strip_level` problem; don't try to export patches that didn't apply, bitch instead
- Python patching: Markdown patching summary table, complete with emoji
- Python patching: include the problem breakdown in Markdown summary
- Python patching: sanity check against half-bare, half-mbox patches
- Python patching: try to recover from 1) bad utf-8 encoded patches; 2) bad unidiff patches; add a few sanity checks
- Python patching: try, and fail, to apply badly utf-8 encoded patches directly as bytes [reverted]
- Python patching: try to recover from patch *parse* failures; show summary; better logging
- set `GIT_ARCHEOLOGY=yes` to do archeology, default not
- armbian-next: Python `pip` dependencies handling, similar to `hostdeps`
- same scheme for Dockerfile caching
- @TODO: still using global/shared environment; should move to a dir under `cache` or some kinda venv
- WiP: add `python3-pip` to hostdeps; remove `python-setuptools`
- remove `python-setuptools` (Python2, no longer exists in Sid) from hostdeps
- add `python3-pip` to hostdeps; part of virtualenv saga
- WiP: split `kernel.sh` a bit, into `kernel-patching.sh`, `kernel-config.sh` and `kernel-make.sh`
- `advanced_patch()`: rename vars for clarity; no real changes
- Python patching: introduce FAST_ARCHEOLOGY; still trying for Markdown links
