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:
resources/scripts/update/module/
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.

it is not necessary to have help output
similarly, listing all boards in this script is
pointless. why not just run ls -1 on the directory?

only alper and ferass have ownership of this file,
but ferass only submitted to it in 2022, not 2021
fix this
i've removed myself from the file, for now
i never touched this file before, so it's
not right that my name be here
put alper's name at the top, because alper
was the person who created this file first

i'm pretty much finished now
there might be a few more changes later,
like stricter error handling, more verbose
error messages, etc
right now, it relies on -e to kill lbmk
on error, and uses the exit command
another planned change it to support
other upstreams besides coreboot.org,
such as the dasharo codebase
the latter is *why* i refactored this
download script, for asus kgped-d16
|
|
the build_error file is obsolete
|
|
|
|
to my knowledge, this feature has never been used,
but lbmk permits resources/coreboot/boardname/extra.sh
to execute, as provided by the maintainer, with working
directory set to: coreboot/boardname
this could be used to extend lbmk in a number of ways
for example, it could be used to patch 3rdparty/
it could also be used to break coreboot in creative
and novel ways. hint hint.
|
|
the "board" variable in prepare_new_coreboot_tree()
is also declared in fetch_coreboot_trees
for the one in prepare_new_coreboot_tree, it's passed
as an argument to the function, so give it a new name
i learned that some shells have a global scope, when
using variables of the same name between functions
|
|
this should download all trees:
./download coreboot
without this patch, it doesn't
with this patch, it works
i overlooked this during earlier
refactoring. auditing revealed it.
|
|
top-down order, and *still* rfc 3676 compliant
i finished simplifying the logic, and
i split everything into smaller functions
there is still more more polishing to do
final touches will be done in new revisions
|
|
coreboot trees/patching is still handled
specifically by "./download coreboot"
command now available in lbmk:
./gitclone coreboot
this *only* creates the directory at:
coreboot/coreboot
this directory is never used in builds.
it is only used by download/coreboot to
create patched trees for each mainboard
