ME extraction didn't support unar (RAR format), for regular
extraction, after downloading a vendor file.
For bruteforce ME extraction, after extracting a vendor
archive, unar(RAR) and inno(innoextract) was not supported.
This patch fixes both issues. It should be noted that as of
now, the unar method has only been tested with certain HP
vendor updates, and it's currently not used on any of those.

I messed up the string, when I first did this.

Immediately after the last revision, which was a hacky
workaround to the problem, I realised the actual problem,
and the real solution:
In the switch block, check *backup* first. Then it breaks,
continuing on the iteration.
If it's variable for a main URL, it'll reliably go to the
next check in the block, whereas if it's backup, it'll
default to the first one in each case.
This bug has been annoying the sh*t out of me for ages,
and I've finally nailed it.

The script was actually downloading the backup, at
all times, for each given URL. The way we handle
this is quite buggy.
This patch is a workaround, a dirty hack in fact, but
it will do for now, because our backup URLs are always
wayback links where the original URL (matching the
correct main URL in the sources file) is always present,
in the URL.

Make it look like a normal web browser, downloading files.
Some HTTP servers might block Wget unless this is done.

This was an oversight on my part.
Should extraction fail, we must abort. This is in preparation
for addition of future mainboards, where further tweaking is
required in blobutil. This error check will warn us about it.

this means coreboot can now be distcleaned safely,
before and after each build of a rom image

fixes ./build boot roms all
in detect_firmware(), "set" is used to get values from
configs, to know if things like ME/MRC are needed
on some "board" configs under resources/coreboot/, no
actual coreboot configs are provided, because they are
used as a reference (coreboot revision, tree name etc)
for actual boards, with actual coreboot configs
when attempting to build for such a board, running "set"
on such non-existent files would cause a non-zero exit,
when we want zero. the non-zero exit then caused the
build/boot/roms command to fail, when running "all" if
it found, for example, resources/coreboot/cros/ which
has the above problem, in this context
work around it by verifying that coreboot configs exist
for the given target name, in the blobutil download script.
if no such configs exist, then exit zero (success)
doing so is correct, because the script is intended to
do just that, erroring only if it is detected that blobs
are needed for a given board, but other errors occur; if
no coreboot configs exist, then no roms will be built and,
therefore, no blobs are needed

Since many boards use the same ME firmware, we could save
everyone's bandwidth and time by caching the update files.

This reverts commit a4ea2867319471d9fe7d4ee540881e0286b4d3cf.
The licensing audit has been abandoned. I will not be re-licensing
in bulk to MIT.
I can still use MIT license on new works, e.g. utilities, but there's
really no pressing need to re-license lbmk. It's just shell scripts,
and most of what it interacts with (coreboot, grub, seabios) is GPL
anyway.
So who cares?
Ferass's patch was removed due to refusal to re-license, but the
decision to re-license has been canceled.
I'm now aiming for a quick stable release.

make blobutil a symlink. Example of command changes:
./blobutil download x220_8mb
is now:
./update blobs download x220_8mb
The old command still works, for compatibility.

move resources/scripts/download/ to:

This: ./download coreboot
Is now: ./update module coreboot
However, running "./download coreboot"
still works, via backwards compatibility.

The primary purpose of my intense auditing has
been to improve lbmk's coding style and fix bugs
but there is a secondary purpose: know precisely
who owns what, because I want to re-license as
much as possible of lbmk under *MIT*, instead of
the current GNU licensing. MIT is vastly superior,
because it grants *actual* freedom to the user,
permits *sublicensing* and it is vastly more
compatible with other GPL combinations; for
example, MIT license is compatible with GPL2-only
whereas lbmk's current mix of GPLv3-or-later and
GPLv3-only is legally incompatible with GPLv2-only.
Re-licensing under MIT will most likely result in
more contributions to Libreboot's build system in
the future, especially as it will attract a lot
more commercial interest. Contrary to the popular
arguments, copyleft is a liability to the free
software movement and results in less code being
written; in practise, permissively licensed code
gets more public contributions, including from
commercial entities, even if companies can
theoretically make something proprietary out of
it (in practise, anyone inclined can just use the
upstream and proprietary forks almost always die).
Copyleft propaganda is fundamentally flawed. See:
<https://unixsheikh.com/articles/the-problems-with-the-gpl.html>
Anyway, I've been doing a combination of:
* Seeking permission from other copyright holders,
for re-licensing
* Deleting, or moving, other contributions; for
example, splitting certain contributions into
separate files so that originally modified files
become unencumbered. This latter solution is a
result of *code cleanup* arising from the audit.
For Ferass's contributions, I opted to seek
*permission*, and permission was denied. In full compliance
with this legal imperative, I'm acting accordingly; this
commit removes all of Ferass's changes that converted lbmk
to posix shell scripts, thus removing his copyright on the
affected files, bypassing his authority entirely. Therefore,
lbmk is largely now bash-dependent. In practise, nobody is
going to use anything other than a GNU system to build
Libreboot, because many projects that Libreboot makes use
of rely heavily on GNU; for example, coreboot's build
system makes heavy use of GNU-specific extensions in *GNU
Make*, and likely contains many bashisms. Of course,
Libreboot also compiles GNU GRUB.
I would much rather have MIT-licensed Bash scripts
than GPL-licensed posix SCL scripts.
This reverts the changes from Ferass El Hafidi,
for the following commits, with some exceptions:
* 7f5dfebf7d37c56d9c7993aaa17c59070cb5aec9
* f787044642236917c9c4dbcaa48a6b0648097db0
Exception:
download/mrc not reverted, because that was
already a fork of an existing script under
coreboot's build system, and their script was
GPLv2. i cannot/will not re-license this file
(ergo,
7f5dfebf7d37c56d9c7993aaa17c59070cb5aec9
change remains intact, on this file)
resources/scripts/build/boot/roms_helper, these changes
have been kept:
* 7e6691e9 - Add ARMv7 and AArch64 support
* dec2d720 - add myself in the build/roms_helper script
(added 2021 copyright for the change below)
* b7405656 - Workaround for grub's slow boot
^ these changes will be re-factored, splitting them
out of the file into a new file. This will be done in
a future lbmk revision. (in some cases, it makes sense
to keep a change but split it, allowing the main file to
be re-licensed without the change in it)
This is part of a much larger series of
licensing audits. It's likely that lbmk will
be posix-compliant (in its shell scripts)
again some day, because I'm planning to rewrite
most of these scripts (the ones modified in this
patch), and many of them (e.g. individual download
scripts) are subject to future deletion in a planned
overhaul of the download logic for third party
projects.
In addition: these changes are being kept (no attempt
to re-license them will be made):
* cff081c6 - Fix grub's slow boot (1 year, 5 months ago) <Vitali64>
* 4c851889 - Add macbook*1 16mb configs (1 year, 6 months ago) <Vitali64>
Ferass's work that remains will be split into dedicated
files containing them, where feasible.
In the case of grub.cfg (for GNU GRUB), I don't care
because it's a script for an engine (GRUB shell) that's
under GPL anyway, so who really cares about MIT license.

By making lbmk fully POSIX-compliant, it will be easier to port lbmk to
other systems implementing POSIX such as Alpine Linux and FreeBSD.

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.

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
