New stuff:

• [buildarmimg] Fixed a typo, resulting in no services being enabled on non-pinephone images.
• [buildarmpkg] Only copy over the aarch64 qemu binary, if the host is not on aarch64 architecture.
• New command signarmpkgs now signs all packages in current folder, with the GPGKEY defined in /etc/makepkg.conf.

New stuff:

• [deployarmimg] now also uploads pkglist files together with all the other files.
• [buildarmimg] enable services one at a time, to prevent all services from being disabled if one is missing in profile.
• [buildarmimg] add BMAP support, which should make it faster to flash the images that have it.
• [README] add bmap-tools as an optional dependency for bmap support.

Fixes:

• [buildrootfs] Now uses a provided pacstrap script, instead of relying on manjaro-arm-base's basestrap. (oversight from last release)
• [buildarmpkg] Now also prunes package cache, if the build fails. Before it would not unmount the package cache because the prune function was not run.
• [buildarmimg] Now uses the functions of pacman-mirrorlist in the chroot to generate a mirrorlist, but not ranking them. Shaves of a few minutes of image build time.
• [buildarmimg][buildarmpkg] Change branch names accepted by -b argument. Not only accepts stable, testing and unstable to be in line with Manjaro x86 branch names.

Feature release

• buildarmimg now respects >pinephone tags in profiles. (thanks to philm)
• buildarmimg now also generates a list of all packages installed on the created image. (thanks to oberon)
• Both buildarmpkg and buildarmimg now cleans up the pkg-cache used by the tools, so only the last 3 versions of packages gets saved. (thanks to oberon)
• Split out rockpi4 support into rockpi4b and rockpi4c.
• Add support for Odroid N2+
• buildarmpkg now has a -n option, to install the newly built package into the build rootfs. This is useful if you are building lots of packages that depends on the previously built one. (thanks to oberon)
• Add basic error handling across the tools. It does not catch all yet. (thanks to oberon)

Some new stuff:

• Fix some issues with handling Phosh profile
• Ignore architectures in PKGBUILDS when using buildarmpkg
• Add a pacstrap script and use it, instead of manjaro-tools-base in buildarmpkg
• Add a -u flag to deployarmimg, which is used to specify an OSDN username, in cases where it's different than your local username
• Make buildarmpkg use the new fakeroot-qemu package instead of regular fakeroot, since that seems to be broken when used in a qemu chroot
• buildarmpkg will also now use all cores available when compressing the finished package

New stuff:

• Add support for pine-h64, roc-cc and oc4 devices.
• Add a text file on images created with buildarmimg that contains $DEVICE, $EDITION and $VERSION information about the image.
• Query all mirrors when generating images, but hide the list.
• When using another branch with buildarmpkg it now changes the branch used for creating the rootfs too, so also the build tools are the versions of that branch.

New stuff:

• buildemmcinstaller will now use a local image from $IMGDIR if it exists.
• buildarmpkg now force updates package databases before downloading dependencies.

Notice We recommend removing your previous package caches, rootfs download and profiles when installing this release. Do so, by running these commands:

sudo rm /var/cache/manjaro-arm-tools/pkg/pkg-cache/*
sudo rm /var/lib/manjaro-arm-tools/img/manjaro-ARM-*
sudo getarmprofiles -f

Improvement release:

• [buildarmpkg] move the installation of local package to later function, so you can "chain" install multiple packages over multiple tries.

Bugfix Release

Fixes and changes:

• buildarmpkg and buildrootfs now uses basestrap, since pacstrap is getting removed from Manjaro repositories. To get basestrap please install manjaro-tools-base package. Dependency has also changed because of this.
• Updated some help sections. Like for buildemmcinstaller and getarmprofiles.
• Disabled buildarmimg for the time being. It was broken and not really used. Might get removed at some point.
• buildarmpkg now uses the hosts pkg-cache folder instead of the rootfs cache. This results in a lot fewer packages being downloaded when a package gets build, because it might have been used before.
