Without that fix, with a very basic Trisquel 11 (aramo) installation
and after running resources/dependencies/trisquel-10, the GNU Boot
autogen.sh is broken due to the lack of libtool:
$ ./autogen.sh 2>&1 > temp
autoreconf: export WARNINGS=
autoreconf: Entering directory '.'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal --force

If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
autoreconf: error: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1
So we simply make sure that libtool is installed as part of the
dependencies.
For Arch, libtool is already in base-devel (checked with Parabola).

In GNU Boot, at the time of writing, we want to advise users to use
the GRUB images as they don't require users to modify their
distribtions.
However before the commit aec2e2f2bcf7693a05e416f9722e15b9d1854516
("Fix bug #65663 (No support for LVM2)."), most computers using LVM2
would not boot with these images.
The bug is now fixed by this commit, however since we ship a custom
grub.cfg and that it is very important to get it right, it's a good
idea to have some sort of automated testing for it.
It uses Trisquel (instead of other FSF certified distributions) for
several reasons:
- Trisquel can be used by less technical users, and so it's important
to make sure it works as less technical users tend to have harder
times finding workaround when things break.
- It's probably the GNU/Linux distribution that most current and
potential GNU Boot users use.
- It is also maintained by a community that welcome contributions, so
if we hit some issues, we can also contribute to get it fixed (we
also verified that multiple times by contributing to it).
Note that we also welcome tests that reuse other distributions as
well.

The xz compression operation can be quite long, so it's a good idea to

To do that we need to produce a tarball file first as xz doesn't have

The creation of what became grub_memdisk.cfg can be tracked back to
the grub.cfg that I published in 2013 in my build-makefiles repository
and that is available in the very first Libreboot release in
build-makefiles/grub/memdisk/boot/grub/grub.cfg.
It was then modified by leah in 2014 who removed most of my work from
it. Details can be seen in the following repository:
[1]https://notabug.org/libreboot/obsolete-repository-preserved-for-historical-purposes
It was then picked up as-is in the osbmk repository and then the lbmk
repository that GNU Boot also has the history of.
Since we now have proper copyright history in all the files in
resources/grub/config we can now safely remove the AUTHORS file.
As for the COPYING file, we already have copyright headers and we
already ship a copy of the GPLv3 in our repository.

libre branch of osbmk.
The libre branch was then used as a basis to the (first) commit

The GNU Boot project merged several repositories in its main git
repository, each with their separate histories. So far we have:
- the documentation/website that came from Libreboot
- the documentation/website pictures that also came from Libreboot
- the build system that also came from Libreboot (it's called lbmk there).
- some website autotools build system that was made from scratch by me.
The grub.cfg we use comes from the build system repository (lbmk). I
extracted the copyrights from the git commits of this repository.
However the first commit of lbmk (which we also have in our main GNU
Boot repository) is the following:
commit 89517ed6b9
Author: [Leah Rowe]
Date: [2021]
libreboot!
this is forked from the "libre" branch in osboot, which is itself a libre,
deblobbed fork of osboot, a blobbed up fork of libreboot
libreboot needed to be purged clean. this is the new libreboot development
repository. the old one has been abandoned
So I had to continue and look at the libre branch of osboot and
extract the copyrights from its commits as well.
Then I downloaded osbmk (https://notabug.org/osboot/osbmk) and
continued to look.
And here too we need to go beyond the first commit again, because
osbmk is based on 'Libreboot 20160907':
commit df76c3eb63dd8f4979d78ca262218eedb93512ed
Author: [Leah Rowe]
Date: [2020]
Fork Libreboot 20160907 build system. Large parts have been re-written.
This build system builds ROMs for X230, but they are so far untested.
Use at your own risk!
I still need to write documentation and do testing.
SOON: T60 with ATI GPU
We can find Libreboot 20160907 in
https://notabug.org/libreboot/obsolete-repository-preserved-for-historical-purposes
And then we end up with this commit:
commit cee90ae0fce6d6aee8d78969b60c952c8890abd6
Author: [Leah Rowe]
Date: [2014]
Libreboot release 6 beta 1.
Before that Libreboot only had tarball releases and the very first
tarball release was based on build scripts/Makefiles made by me, and
the git repository having the GRUB configuration can be found in
Libreboot 20131212 in X60/build-makefiles.
commit 80c37b9093be8325bf9ca8271ae4c6dba8fe81d6

Before being merged with the commit
dc6e1f32c1 ("Import website-build to
build the GNU Boot website."), website-build was a separate git
repository.
And so, even after the merge, until the commit
20d122e94a ("website-build: use website
from local git repository."), it still worked in the same way and
still downloaded the website from git.
This prevented merging the website and website-build directories
together as the GNU Boot repository also needed to be a valid Untitled
website repository as well.
Now after this commit, the website is built from the same git tree, so
we can simply adjust the build scripts to be able to move things
around.
In addition of making things more clear for contributors, it also
simplify the migration to haunt as with haunt we typically have the
haunt.cfg (and the autotools build code if needed) code in the top
directory and the markdown files in a subdirectory.

GNU Boot can be installed on some I945 ThinkPads without disassembling
them. To do that it requires both a patched flashrom and bucts.
This build them and also integrate Guix in GNU Boot as a dependency to
build them.
This will enable us to later on ship these utilities and then update
the installation instructions to use them somehow.
It also makes sure that we have proper authorship of the patch used
for flashrom and also unify the two flashrom patches not to require
two different flashrom binaries.

Without this fix, running shellcheck -x on
resources/scripts/misc/guix.sh returns many errors.
For each guix version declaration we have something like that:
In resources/scripts/misc/guix.sh line 21:
guix_v0_0="6365068393254e1131ab80eb0d68a759e7fd2256"
^-------^ SC2034 (warning): guix_v0_0 appears unused.
Verify use (or export if used externally).
and here the variables are actually used in this code:
guix_version_commit()
{
version="$1"
eval echo "$(echo \$guix_"${version}" | sed 's#\.#_#g')"
}
so we workaround by disabling that test for each version declaration.
Then shellcheck cannot find "$GUIX_PROFILE"/etc/profile:
In resources/scripts/misc/guix.sh line 91:
. "$GUIX_PROFILE"/etc/profile
^-------------------------^ SC1091 (info):
Not following: ./etc/profile: openBinaryFile:
does not exist (No such file or directory)
so we disabled that test for this line.
After that we have many issues with quoting like this one:
In resources/scripts/misc/guix.sh line 104:
eval echo $(echo \$guix_"${version}" | sed 's#\.#_#g')
^-- SC2046 (warning):
Quote this to prevent word splitting.
or this one:
In resources/scripts/misc/guix.sh line 233:
major="$(echo ${version} | awk -F . '{print $1}')"
^--------^ SC2086 (info):
Double quote to prevent globbing and word splitting.
these were fixed.
We also improved a test by using grep -q:
In resources/scripts/misc/guix.sh line 272:
elif [ -n "$(echo ${revision} | grep '\.')" ] ; then
^-- SC2143 (style):
Use grep -q instead of comparing output with [ -n .. ]
And finally in guix_version_commit a sed was avoided by using bash
replacement, and when that was not possible (in guix_next_version),
the shellcheck test for that was disabled.

The 'make release' or './build release all' commands build releases of
GNU Boot that consist of installable images and the upstream source
code used to build them.
The u-boot-libre package is instead meant to follow different release
schedules as it releases deblobbed versions of various u-boot releases
for reuse by distributions like Parabola.
Before the commit 857afa42a8 ("Switch to
packages structure.") users were expected to run the release script of
u-boot-libre separately but after it it ended up being run
automatically as part of 'make release' or ./build release all.
Renaming this script ensure that it's not run during regular releases.

Bad substitution

This happens because packages/coreboot/distclean uses #!/bin/sh and
that the default sh shell isn't using bash:

dash
and using bash instead works fine:
$ bash resources/packages/coreboot/distclean ; echo $?

all the other distclean scripts in packages/*/ have exactly the same
issue. The tests/distlean script is also affected since it also
