creating packages in the armbian build system

The answer is NO. This script is intended for actions after installing the package.

 

To do this, we have a special file "changelog".
This file contains a list of the changes made by the debian maintainer, the person who made the package packaging.
Here is an example of my first proper library package:

libevl (0~210316-1) UNRELEASED; urgency=low

  * Initial release (Closes: #7777)
  * This is my first Debian package.
  * Adjusted the Makefile to fix $(DESTDIR) problems.

 -- The-going <48602507+The-going@users.noreply.github.com>  Tue, 16 Mar 2021 12:42:00 +0300

 

libevl - Source package name

0~210316 - Source package version

1 - Debian package version

UNRELEASED - is replaced by xenial|bionic|focal|groovy|hirsute, armbian-current

 

P.S. Or am I wrong somewhere?

I actually don't mind where ...  I want to attach "legacy" "current" and "edge" information to the kernel package. Anywhere, any way.

Good. I never went very deep with Debian packaging and I do understand we need to fix those things. Step by step.

This file should be filled in according to the template by the build system itself and enter the current data in it.


Understand. Well, (to build) this file is IMO deprecated since it probably only works in a combination with kernel 3.4.y / 3.10.y which we abandoned some time ago.

My God, with this reworking of patches, I completely forgot about the main task of building kernel packages.

Experience in rpmbuild suggests that you need to take the native kernel build system and fix it a little for our tasks.

 Yes, it is an independent build system for building packages from kernel sources.
Documentation:

.https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelMaintenance

Based on this git repository.

I'll see what happens tomorrow.

BRANCH information on the board is needed at least for showing warnings that user is on "EDGE" kernel ... New BSP packages will be one for all, so it can't hold this information. Is it possible to add to postinst to create some file containing that info?

 

 

 


We have to store branch information to those packages

 

In the previous answer, I seem to have overreacted.

Here it matters in which case we want to give the message to the user.

If only when installing the package, then the postinst script is possible.

But, but I don't remember today what I installed in the system yesterday and check using the package manager.

For example, now there is a ubuntu or debian system on the board. How can I find out what is installed from the provided armbian?

Armbian tweaks for focal on orangepipc2 (current branch) - Probably this line is the correct option.

In other packages, the keywords 'edge current armbian' must be present in this I agree with you.

... has been changed to https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/lib/main.sh#L395-L396 so this package is only board specific now. Similar variant will come for desktop.

Anyway, since release days are over, this can be moved in - if ready. FYI, there is another larger chunk of additions by @rpardini which needed review, understanding and integration. Not directly related, but imo it's wise not to merge both at once. @lanefu

Today I'm testing a few different options for the kernel. File control of the last option:

Package: linux-image-5.10.33-sunxi64
Source: linux-5.10.33-sunxi64
Version: 21.05.6
Architecture: arm64
Maintainer: Igor Pecovnik <igor.pecovnik@****l.com>
Installed-Size: 124084
Provides: linux-image, linux-image-armbian, linux-image-sunxi64
Section: kernel
Priority: optional
Homepage: https://www.kernel.org/
Description: Linux kernel, armbian version 5.10.33-sunxi64 current
 This package contains the Linux kernel, modules and corresponding other
 files, version: 5.10.33-sunxi64.

 

The description field contains information about $BRANCH, but apt will not respond to it, it just outputs the first line as text information for the user.

If the "Provides:" field is in this version:

Provides: linux-image, linux-image-sunxi64, linux-image-armbian, linux-image-armbian-current

 

We will be able to search by tags like this:

sudo apt search linux-image-armbian-current

Thanks.
 

I am a regular ubuntu user. I built or downloaded a mini system image for the board.

What other packages does armbian provide?

What versions do these packages have?

How can I find out this information in a simple way using the apt service?

We need to add key tags to the "Provides:" field. In all packages provided by armbian.

 

Logically, this implies another point - the Version field.
How justified is Version: $REVISION ?

armbian-bsp-cli-BOARD

armbian-bsp-desktop-BOARD

armbian-firmware

armbian-RELEASE-desktop-xfce, armbian-RELEASE-desktop-gnome, ...

 

then repacks of hostapd, mmc-utils, htop, ...

So you want that we have separate versioning for those internal packages?

I'm sorry. These are rhetorical questions.

I can't get used to articulating thoughts in the style of English grammar so that the automatic translation looks correct.
In fact, I am an experienced user and will find any information.

But if we give the user the ability to search, update, or reinstall by key tags, it will be very good.

 

sudo apt search armbin

This command will display the full list of packages provided by armbian.

sudo apt search armbin-edge

This command will only show packages for $BRANCH

It is the word combination that is important here armbian-$BRANCH

sudo apt reinstall armbian-current

This command will actually do a package update for the $BRANCH

 

Here we not only take care of the user, but also improve the armbian.

@Igor Yes, but only for those packages that contain programs, libraries that have their own version.

This is necessary to correctly register the mutual dependencies.

And this is especially true for the kernel and libraries that use the functionality of this particular kernel.

The final version can be formed by concatenating the original version and the armbian version.

Looking ahead a bit, I want the build system to learn how to build complex projects.

Such as Xenomai and Evl. Example of evl core latency:

To date, this is the only option for the arm architecture.

OK. While we don't pack many of such apps atm.

 

FYI. Since kernel 5.12.y our current packaging system doesn't function properly anymore. DTBs are not packed. Haven't got a chance to investigate why.

In AR-746

For packages linked by the same variable '$BRANCH', the three fields look like this:

debs> for file in linux-*; do echo "$(dpkg -f $file | awk -v f=$file '/Package:|Version:|Provides:/{printf " %-31s", $2" "$3" "$4}')"; done

 linux-u-boot-orangepipc2-edge   21.08.0-trunk                   armbian-u-boot

 

I think it will be good to bring this to a single unified style.

FYI. Packaging seems to work, but it runs very slow / it stalls for some time (10-15 minutes at our build server running Ubuntu hirsute, a minute or two on my slower desktop hw running Linux mint) at the point below.

I ran a test build to check it.

Just compare the sizes for 5.10 and 5.12
I don't need it. I use the linux-headers-*package. That's the reason I didn't pay attention.
I'll try to figure it out. The first suspicion is that in addition to archiving, there is also a process of recompilation for the target architecture in the scripts folder in one thread.

With the patch, some of the archiving processes fail with an error and this can be seen in the compilation log. Somewhere at the very end.

I can't speak for anything else, but in my experience with 5.12.y and cross compiling, moving the patching of the headers-byteshift.patch and make M=scripts clean process into the postinst script corrects the problem. 

 

Example:
cp headers-byteshift.patch $destdir/
if ls $destdir/scripts/module.lds > /dev/null 2>&1;
    then install -m 0644 $srctree/scripts/module.lds $destdir/ > /dev/null 2>&1;
fi

 

    mkdir -p $kernel_headers_dir/DEBIAN
    cat > $kernel_headers_dir/DEBIAN/postinst <<EOT
#!/bin/bash
# compile headers
CORES=$(grep -c 'processor' /proc/cpuinfo)
clean_headers(){
echo 'y' | make M=scripts clean
if ls headers-byteshift.patch; then patch -p1 < headers-byteshift.patch; fi
if ls module.lds; then install -m 0644 module.lds scripts/; fi
rm -f headers-byteshift.patch module.lds
}

 

set -e

cd /usr/src/linux-headers-$version
echo -e "\e[1;37mCompiling headers\e[0m ..."
find -type f -exec touch {} +
clean_headers > /dev/null 2>&1
echo 'y' | make -j${CORES} -s scripts >/dev/null

As for the module.lds file, this needs to be moved as make M=scripts clean now removes it for some reason? But this started happening at some point in 5.10.y.

The main problem with the linux-headers-* package is that it has a libc6-dev dependency, and it depends on the linux-libc-dev package without a version. During the installation and subsequent compilation, the distribution version "linux-libc-dev"is installed. That is, not the one that is relevant for us. I have to do it manually. on top of the already installed distribution version of "linux-libc-dev", I install my own, which I just built.

Yes, I mean usable headers when Cross Compiling. As for the linux-libc-dev package, this doesn't even need to be installed on Armbians end. This should just be a depends during the creation of an img and should be dragged in regardless. It doesn't need to exactly be reflective of the kernel installed on the system.

 

As an aside, if one were to compile kernels native the headers-byteshift.patch and that whole postinst script isn't even needed.

@Cornelius Thank you for the discussion. Today, for the 5.12 kernel, the build involves these two scripts.

They are simply copied to the target directory here.
I will ask you to look carefully at these two scripts. Maybe I don't see some error?

 

These two scripts collect kernel packages normally on my local VM (focal) and on @Igor local VM.

But the build on the VM that collects all the packages for armbian takes a very long time.

It slows down at the end of the compilation process at the "make kernel headers as a kernel module" stage.

Other than the suggestion I made before I see nothing really wrong with it. It's way more complicated than my approach and written better, but that would be expected. This is Armbian after all. :)

I see some variables I don't understand such as $MAKE and $SRCARCH, but I'm going to assume that makes sense in the builder somewhere.
 

I also notice that none of the pre/post scripts define what they are..? Such as #!/bin/bash or #!/bin/sh, but that would only be relative during the kernel install and have nothing to really do with creation.

 

Only major difference I see, is you appear to be using the builddeb/mkdebian files from 5.10.y, where as I use the 5.4.y files and patch them accordingly to the SoC I am building for. I find it to be a more simplistic builddeb script and less of hassle to deal with and the kernel doesn't complain when I replace the ones it comes with. 

 

Example packaging I use for my test builds. https://github.com/pyavitz/debian-image-builder/tree/feature/patches/packaging

Disclaimer: I don't recommend anyone using that builder, it's mostly a pet project and learning tool for myself. 

 

As for the slow down you are getting in the VM, I really have no ideas as to why that would be. I never use a VM when building, although I do use Docker sometimes.

The kernel build is absolutely the same. In a clean system, only the script worked
compile.sh Reassembly, when the compiler cache is full, takes 9 minutes.

[ o.k. ] Runtime [ 9 min ]
[ o.k. ] Repeat Build Options [ ./compile.sh  BOARD=bananapim64 BRANCH=edge BUILD_MINIMAL=no BUILD_DESKTOP=no KERNEL_ONLY=yes KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no  ]

 

I watched the processes in the VM using htop.

These processes go in a single thread:

make KERNELRELEASE=5.12.6-sunxi64 ARCH=arm64        KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION=trunk -f ./Makefile
  CALL    scripts/atomic/check-atomics.sh
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  CHK     include/generated/compile.h
  UPD     include/generated/compile.h
  CC      init/version.o
  AR      init/built-in.a
  CHK     kernel/kheaders_data.tar.xz
  GEN     .version
  CHK     include/generated/compile.h
  LD      vmlinux.o
  MODPOST vmlinux.symvers
  MODINFO modules.builtin.modinfo
  GEN     modules.builtin
  LD      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1
  KSYMS   .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1.S
  AS      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1.S
  LD      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2
  KSYMS   .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2.S
  AS      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2.S
  LD      vmlinux
  SORTTAB vmlinux
  SYSMAP  System.map
  OBJCOPY arch/arm64/boot/Image
  MODPOST modules-only.symvers
  GZIP    arch/arm64/boot/Image.gz
  GEN     Module.symvers
make KERNELRELEASE=5.12.6-sunxi64 ARCH=arm64        KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION=trunk -f ./Makefile
  CALL    scripts/atomic/check-atomics.sh
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  CHK     include/generated/compile.h
  CHK     kernel/kheaders_data.tar.xz

 

CHK     kernel/kheaders_data.tar.xz - 6 cpus are loaded at 15-30% each.

But when the linux-headers, linux-source package is created, archiving is done in multithreaded mode. 6 CPUs are 100% loaded.
