2022-05-08libreboot-utils: Add me_cleanerDenis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
Recent (post 2006) Intel computers typically have a flash chip that contains several partitions: - A partition that contains a partition table, permission settings for read/write access to these partitions. various configuration settings like the flash chip speed, and so on. - A partition for the BIOS that contains the BIOS, Coreboot, EFI, Libreboot, UEFI, etc. - A partition for the Management Engine firmware. - A partition for some Gigabit Ethernet settings (the MAC address, LEDs settings, etc). - A partition named "Platform data" that probably contains some serial numbers or other data on some computers. The Management Engine firmware is signed, so its code cannot be modified. However the Management Engine firmware also contains its own partitioning scheme, and it's possible to remove some of its partitions in a way that enable computers to still boot and function normally. The me_cleaner utility can do that (so it still lives part of the Management Engine code or Operating system). The me_cleaner can also tell the Management Engine OS (with --soft-disable), that once its booted, it should not try to load additional applications. In addition me_cleaner can also verify the Management Engine firmware signatures. Note that me_cleaner cannot be used to completely remove the Management Engine firmware. To do that you need to use Libreboot instead. Libreboot removes completely the Management Engine firmware. However the method used by Libreboot only works with computers with the Intel GM45 chipset.

2022-05-07libreboot-utils: Add inteltoolDenis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
This utility enables to dump the registers of various chips (CPU, chipset, etc) on Intel computers. Signed-off-by: Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli <GNUtoo@cyberdimension.org>
2022-05-07libreboot-utils: Add cbmemDenis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
The cbmem utility enables to retrieve the Coreboot and Libreboot boot logs. This requires Coreboot or Libreboot to be built with CONFIG_CONSOLE_CBMEM=y to work. In addition cbmem also supports retrieving additional boot information like timestamps (which requires CONFIG_COLLECT_TIMESTAMPS=y), and so on. GRUB also has a cbmem console, so if configured to use it we can also retrieve the GRUB boot log. Signed-off-by: Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli <GNUtoo@cyberdimension.org>
2022-05-07pcr: libreboot-utils: Add bincfgDenis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
The bincfg utility enable to convert various binary formats to text file and vice-versa. It supports the GM45 Intel Flash Descriptor (IFD) which is contains the flash chip partition table and various settings including read/write permissions for the various flash partitions. Beware when changing the values in ways that have not been tested before as it could lead to non-booting computers. This is for instance the case when trying to set the BIOS partition read-only for all "CPUs" (Management Engine, main CPU, and Gigabit Ethernet).

2022-05-07pcr: libreboot-utils: Add spkmodem_recvDenis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
When building Coreboot or Libreboot with CONFIG_SPKMODEM, the boot messages data is encoded as sound and sent to the sound card. To receive them you can record them with another computer (and ideally you need an audio cable for that and to make sure that the volume is not too low or not too high), and you can then decode them in real time with a command similar to that one: parec --channels=1 --rate=48000 --format=s16le | spkmodem-recv This also works with grub spkmodem console output. Note that the messages speed is relatively slow, so if you build Coreboot or Libreboot with that option, your boot might take a long time (like 30min for instance) if you have a lot of messages.

2022-05-06pcr: libreboot-utils: switch to make installDenis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
This makes sure that all the tools are installed. Some tools like cbfstool also have other tools like fmaptool that are really useful. fmaptool can be used to work with Chromebook images for instance. Signed-off-by: Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli <GNUtoo@cyberdimension.org>
2022-05-06pcr: libreboot-utils: armv7h: skip remaining tools requiring port mapped I/ODenis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
The warning about bucts was removed as in fact most of these tools are probably dangerous in one way or another if used improperly. Flashrom which is packaged in most GNU/Linux distributions is also very dangerous if used improperly, though it comes with warnings and safe defaults.

2022-05-06pcr: libreboot-utils: fix cbfstool compilation on 32bit architecturesDenis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
On i686, cbfstool wasn't build because it failed to compile, and on armv7h, the build fail with an error similar to this one: host/lib/extract_vmlinuz.c: In function ‘ExtractVmlinuz’: host/lib/extract_vmlinuz.c:67:9: warning: ‘memcpy’ specified bound between 2147483648 and 4294967295 exceeds maximum object size 2147483647 [-Wstringop-overflow=] 67 | memcpy(vmlinuz, kpart_data + vmlinuz_header_offset, | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 68 | vmlinuz_header_size); | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This fixes that build error and enables cbfstool to be built on all the architectures supported by Parabola.

2022-05-04pcr: libreboot-util: rename to libreboot-utils and fix headerDenis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
Since there is more than one utility in this package it's more clear if it is named libreboot-utils. In addition, this packages has part from the nvramtool I made from scratch so I added myself in the header in addition of Wael Karramas who is the main author of this package. I also fixed the Maintainers line as more than one person involved in Parabola has some knowledge about Libreboot and Coreboot. Signed-off-by: Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli <GNUtoo@cyberdimension.org>

The cglib project has the following in its README.md: IMPORTANT NOTE: cglib is unmaintained and does not work well (or possibly at all?) in newer JDKs, particularly JDK17+. If you need to support newer JDKs, we will accept well-tested well-thought-out patches... but you'll probably have better luck migrating to something like ByteBuddy.

2022-05-02libre: add java-resolver from ArchDenis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
We need java-resolver for building (new versions) of java-xmlgraphics-commons. However Arch Linux removed it, so we need to import it to build it. As for the reason why it was removed in Arch, it's not clear: the last two commits removing it do not really contain any explanations: commit e066cffa541c37d1bca201128bd862118bf0da54 Author: arojas <arojas@eb2447ed-0c53-47e4-bac8-5bc4a241df78> Date: Sat May 8 08:55:46 2021 +0000 Spring '21 cleanup git-svn-id: file:///srv/repos/svn-packages/svn@414619 eb2447ed-0c53-47e4-bac8-5bc4a241df78 commit 880fca2ca92074d126c313338634e2468a20ad0e Author: arojas <arojas@eb2447ed-0c53-47e4-bac8-5bc4a241df78> Date: Sat May 8 08:55:43 2021 +0000 db-remove: java-resolver removed by arojas git-svn-id: file:///srv/repos/svn-packages/svn@414618 eb2447ed-0c53-47e4-bac8-5bc4a241df78 Signed-off-by: Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli <GNUtoo@cyberdimension.org>

2022-04-28COPYRIGHTS: clarify licenses more, and add license for new contributionsDenis 'GNUtoo' Carikli
- If new contributions are under CC0 we don't need to state that people also agreed to use CC0 for new contributions. - Before, I forgot to use git commit -a --amend before pushing, so PKGBUILDs went in instead of packages. I'm using packages to enable to add scripts (for instance scripts to check the licenses of the PKGBUILDs) under other licenses. In addition many packages have more files (like .install files for instance) than just PKGBUILDs and patches, and the other packages files are also under the CC0 license.
