reform-debian-packages

The build sources for custom Debian packages which end up at https://mntre.com/reform-debian

You need to have the following packages installed to run all of this:

curl debhelper debian-archive-keyring debian-keyring devscripts faketime git mmdebstrap pristine-tar python3 python3-debian python3-jinja2 quilt reprepro rsync sbuild uidmap

You need to have sbuild set up to build packages (including linux). If you have never set up sbuild before, the easiest way is to set it up to use unshare mode like this (assuming you run this on the Reform):

echo '$chroot_mode = "unshare";' > ~/.sbuildrc
mkdir -p ~/.cache/sbuild
mmdebstrap --variant=buildd unstable ~/.cache/sbuild/unstable-arm64.tar

We currently are building the following packages:

ffmpeg

With the patches from [1] for hardware accelerated video playback:

[1] https://community.mnt.re/t/notes-on-building-ffmpeg-and-mpv-to-use-the-hardware-h-264-decoder/305

flash-kernel

With a new entry for the reform to its database so that it can create u-boot compatible images.

fontcontig

Making its installation reproducible: https://bugs.debian.org/864082

xwayland

Adding a patch calling glFinish()

blender

Compiling an old blender version because everything after 2.79b requires opengles 3.2.

linux

A patched 5.12 kernel until the patches are rebased onto newer versions or upstreamed.

neatvnc and wayvnc

Both packages are still waiting in the Debian NEW queue: https://ftp-master.debian.org/new/neatvnc_0.4.0+dfsg-1.html https://ftp-master.debian.org/new/wayvnc_0.4.1-1.html

reform-tools

Scripts for running the reform.

linux

To just rebuild the kernel and not the rest, you can run this:

sh -xc '. ./setup.sh; cd linux; . ./build.sh'
