- killed `[[ $ROOTFS_TYPE != ext4 ]] && display_alert "Assuming ${BOARD} ${BRANCH} kernel supports ${ROOTFS_TYPE}" "" "wrn"`
- which definitely didn't belong in rootfs
- disable usage of run_host_command_logged_long_running for kernel-make
- stop lying about long_running stuff being any different from non-long_running versions
- stop lying about 'set -e' when there's still a bunch of pipes for "pv" and stuff all around
- allows using pre-shallow-ed bare trees, specific to the KERNEL_MAJOR_MINOR
- uses shallow by default if storage is "slow" (mmc), or free disk space < 32g (@TODO tweak this)
- if full tree already there keeps using it
- allow forcing decision with `KERNEL_GIT=full` or `KERNEL_GIT=shallow`
- countdown to confirm if decision based on storage type/free space and user is interactive
- this has some of the worst copy ever written
- @TODO refactor the device type / free space code, reuse across codebase (3-4 other spots detect free space)
- @TODO GHA self-hosted (full) vs hosted (shallow) runners decision
- sprinkle with `wait_for_disk_sync()` around clean/download/extract
- sprinkle git with debugs, and an info between fetch and checkout (otherwise it seems "fetch" takes a long time)
- wait 10s for sync call; otherwise warn user to be patient
- wait_for_sync "reason for sync" everywhere
- add @TODO for /run/user/0 etc and XDG_RUNTIME_DIR in chroot
- move `fakeroot_dpkg_deb_build()` from runners.sh to new utils-dpkgdeb.sh
- and make it debug show the size of the source
- clean off `.git` directory earlier for full build
- @TODO: get rid of the "hardlinks" funky biz in there and not-copy `.git` to begin with
- introduce generic `prepare_tmpfs_for()`, which manages it's own cleanup/dir removal
- use it for `WORKDIR` (which is `TMPDIR`) and `LOGDIR`
- adapt previous cleanup handlers for those, so they delete their contents but not the dir itself (which might be mounted)
- also: make `ARMBIAN_LOG_CLI_ID` readonly together with other superglobals
- set `XDG_RUNTIME_DIR` & `XDG_RUNTIME_DIR` together with `TMPDIR`
- kernel-make.sh: pass `CCACHE_TEMPDIR` down to Kernel make (thanks @the-Going)
- consolidate at `prepare_python_and_pip()`
- sanity check for Python version 3.9+ regardless of HOSTRELEASE
- TODO: pip vs sudo/root: need pip 22.2+ to curb warning, not doing it
- .config is now compared with previous one byte-wise, diff shown, and mtime preserved directly via `cp -p`
- this does away with the previous mtime-based BS I had written during the fasthash era (and thus remove file-mtime.sh, regen lib)
- split some functions, to better control the interactive piece in the _middle_ of kernel config process
- no more `kernel_config_maybe_interactive()`, now `kernel_config()` that controls its own logging sections
- extract `kernel_determine_toolchain()` out of config into make
- introduce internal hook `armbian_kernel_config()` that runs before custom version (for .config defaults, coming soon)
- remove a lot of hopefully / hardly confirmed, unused dependencies
- don't use crossbuild-essential-xxx; avoid the c++ compiler that comes with it, install gcc-only instead
- hostdeps: use `libc6-dev make dpkg-dev gcc` (without `g++`) instead of `build-essential`
- drop `btrfs-progs` and `f2fs-tools` (@TODO add in extension when/whereused)
- more: drop `cryptsetup` (@TODO add in extension when/whereused)
- don't be too quiet when doing apt-update for hostdeps
- 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
