Launchpad offers HTTPS downloads, whereas other more obvious mirrors
(like the one used originally, as well as rpm5.org) do not.
Note: it is unclear to whether Launchpad's tarballs will always match
the checksum from upstream tarballs. However, at least for 1.16, this
condition does indeed seem to hold true. Homebrew, FWIW, lists OpenBSD
as a mirror:
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/popt.rb
The new URL automatically redirects to a nearby, current GNU mirror.
Also, the fact that it's HTTPS helps with restrictive outbound
firewall policies that disallow plaintext traffic (for example,
using Qubes' firewall functionality).
There are cases when grepping for an option in the config file where
grep will not find it, which is fine in this case, but without adjusting
the exit code in that case it can make an entire script bail out.
We need to handle the case where the specific config file doesn't exist,
or else grep fails, so we touch the file ahead of time. Mounting the usb
storage caused problems when you re-enter the menu a second time, so we
will just load the storage module.
As part of the config gui we want to be able to have the system define
new config options without them being lost if the user makes their own
changes in CBFS. To allow that this change creates a function initiated
in init that combines all /etc/config* files into /tmp/config. All
existing scripts have been changed to source /tmp/config instead of
/etc/config. The config-gui.sh script now uses /etc/config.user to hold
user configuration options but the combine_configs function will allow
that to expand as others want to split configuration out further.
As it stands here are the current config files:
/etc/config -- Compiled-in configuration options
/etc/config.user -- User preferences that override /etc/config
/tmp/config -- Running config referenced by the BIOS, combination
of existing configs
This change will add a new GUI script that will allow users to change
their running configuration (currently just /boot and USB boot options)
and optionally persist that modified configuration with reflashing the
BIOS with a modified cbfs.
The Librem coreboot is labeled with the current version and is visible
from dmidecode and is supposed to reflect the current version of
coreboot, however it was out of date and reflected 4.7 when Heads has
moved on to 4.8.1.
I've also added a simple change to further simplify onboarding by
warning users who have Librem Key configured when they boot without it
being inserted.
We want to catch the missing GPG keyring error regardless of TPM failure
or even in the case of a system without a TPM at all so we need to move
that section up above the TPM check.
To help with onboarding new users to Heads, this change will detect when
Heads does not have any keys in its keyring and will guide the user
through adding a key to the running BIOS. It's important that this
happen *before* guiding them through setting up an initial TOTP/HOTP
secret because adding a GPG key changes the BIOS, so the user would have
to generate TOTP/HOTP secrets 2x unless we handle the keyring case
first.
In addition to this change I've simplified the main menu so that the
majority of the options appear under an 'advanced' menu.
The install directly should basically behave like the "build" directory.
Since it's tracked by git, containing a gitignore file, we shouldn't
have it in the toplevel gitignore (just like the build directory).
But then, the toplevel Makefile's real.clean target removes the install
directory. This is changed so that only it's content is being removed.
When the Librem Key is enabled, the kernel loads USB modules at boot,
this causes PCR5 to change and breaks unsealing the LUKS key (if set).
This change retains the protection of the PCR5 check unless Librem Key
is enabled.
crossgcc is now using gcc 8.1.0 which will compile without issues
if your host system has gcc 8.x
This is required if we are to build on a new system (such as latest Fedora)
The current source URL is not available anymore.
kakaroto changed his copy of heads to point to his own github account's fbwhiptail:
b13cc5e68d
But it seems that source.puri.sm/coreboot is a more accessible home for the
project.
