util/grubpo: new util, for grub PO files

2026-02-19T12:24:47+00:00

this is the program I recently wrote, that generated
the submodule entries for the GRUB PO file fix

this utility is for reference only. i'll probably do
away with the fix at some point, replacing it with
my own git-based submodule repository, containing the
PO files. this would make things easier, and then
that repository would contain the utility instead.

i'm just putting this in lbmk for now, so that we
have it somewhere.

config/git: import suckless sbase

2025-10-04T08:20:12+00:00

i currently use the output of sha512sum in several
places of xbmk, which is a bit unreliable in case
output changes.

other cases where i use util outputs in variables
are probably reliable, because i'm using mostly
posix utilities in those.

to mitigate this, i now import suckless sbase, which
has a reasonable sha512sum implementation.

*every* binary it builds is being placed in build.list,
because i'll probably start using more of them.

for example, i may start modifying the "date"
implementation, adding the GNU-specific options that
i need as mentioned on init.sh

i'm importing it in util/ because the sha512sum
util is needed for verifying project sources, so
if sbase itself is a "project source", that means
we can into a chicken and egg bootstrapping problem.

this is sbase at revision:

util/nvmutil: use x, not ?, for random characters

2025-05-03T05:23:10+00:00

A user reported that '?' causes an error on zsh. See:

https://codeberg.org/libreboot/lbmk/issues/261

For example:

./mk inject libreboot-XXXXXX.tar.xz setmac ??:??:??:??:??:??

The user got:

 zsh: no matches found: ??:??:??:??:??:??

The mitigation here is to double-quote, e.g.:

./mk inject libreboot-XXXXXX.tar.xz setmac "??:??:??:??:??:??"

However, a lot of people won't do that. Therefore, I will
retain the current behaviour but support x/X for randomness.

Now lbmk uses x by default, instead. I will now update the
documentation, accordingly.

util/nvmutil: only set mac_updated at the end

2025-01-29T04:45:57+00:00

after setting the checksum too

this is functionally no different, but setting it
at the start didn't sit right with me.

it's more logically correct to set it at the end,
in case any error did not result in an exit.

util/nvmutil: Fix bad comparison

2025-01-29T04:10:52+00:00

We're checking if errno is ENOTDIR, not setting it;
the previous code would always return true, and then
set errno 0, which in the context of this code was
actually OK, so this patch makes no functional difference
in practise.

However, I'm a stickler for technical correctness. I caught
this when trying to compile with clang, because clang is
quite pedantic about checking for exactly this type of bug.
