The U-Boot download script is designed to help with releasing
u-boot-libre and it can only prepare a generic U-Boot v2021.07 tree.
However, we will need to build board-specific versions of U-Boot to be
able to use it as a coreboot payload effectively.
As a first step toward that, make the download script prepare per-board
copies of U-Boot v2021.07. Then, add a 'v2021.07' pseudo-board for the
u-boot-libre release script to work on.
The u-boot-libre deblob script hash ends up chaning due to copying my
author attribution from the download script, update its hash.

When running ./download all, we have the following error:
resources/scripts/download/coreboot: Line 52: $1 is not set.
The ./download all command was broken by the following commit:
2bb805e2e07a7d3e1268a09d720ecd13e26af418 (download: Add --help in the
individual download scripts).

Without that fix we have the following warning during the download:
Cloning into 'u-boot/u-boot'...
warning: redirecting to https://source.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot.git/

This should enable various distributions and build system to reuse
the generated script to deblob u-boot releases themselves.

This doesn't change the existing usage of the scripts:
- For the Coreboot script, before this change, all arguments that were
passed were considered as board to download the Coreboot source code
for.
Here we added the '--help' and '--list-boards' arguments, so it
should not be an issue as it is extremely unlikely that a board
would be called '--help' or '--list-boards'.
- All the other scripts don't use any arguments so passing --help
should not conflict with the existing usage.

Once the tarball are released, it will enable distributions to use
these tarballs to produce deblobbed u-boot packages.
Note that the produced tarball is not reproducible yet. Because of
that it has to be trusted.
During a release, it's a good idea to sign the uncompressed tarball as
the various compression formats and associated tools make different
tradeoffs.
For instance with xz, xz -9e tends to compress really well with the
the most used xz[1] implementation, and most GNU/Linux users probably
already have it installed, but and the drawbacks is that the format is
very fragile[2].
The lzip format is more suited for long term archiving but its most
packaged implementation[3] is less likely to be already installed by
users than more well known formats like xz, bzip2 or gzip.
Being able to add more compression formats after the release is also
useful, for instance to accommodate different build systems or use
cases (like being able to build u-boot with less dependencies in
distributions like Guix, or building u-boot directly on devices which
don't have enough RAM for xz for instance).

build_error is supposed to be a file since it's created with touch.

tianocore is a liability for the libreboot project. it's a bloated mess, and
unreliable, broken on many boards, and basically impossible to audit.
i don't trust tianocore, so i'm removing it.

works around a build error with gcc 7.5. the patches being removed
from memtest86+ aren't really necessary for the average user anyway
|

|
|
it is superior

This reverts commit 84a1bc502b1f296d8ad6389b9e38aa3e0ca94958.

mitigate missing characters in unifont for border/arrow characters. this saves
space because now it is no longer necessary to add a custom font
the background added has the libreboot logo on it, and it's 10kb in size unlike
the old gnulove background that was hundreds of KB
|
|
|
|
it's exactly the same anyway

this is forked from the "libre" branch in osboot, which is itself a libre,
deblobbed fork of osboot, a blobbed up fork of libreboot
libreboot needed to be purged clean. this is the new libreboot development
repository. the old one has been abandoned
