This has several goals:
- It checks if the test works fine and if someone forgot to add some
files.
- It checks if the build system produces files that it should not
produce due to some bugs.
- It can also check if some leftover files are there from previous
builds. This can help avoiding pushing wrong files as part as a
release.

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.

Without that fix we have the following issue on PureOS byzantium:
$ resources/packages/coreboot/distclean
resources/packages/coreboot/distclean: 19:
resources/packages/coreboot/../../scripts/tasks/distclean.sh:
Bad substitution
resources/packages/coreboot/distclean: 20: .:
cannot open /../../..//resources/scripts/misc/sysexits.sh:
No such file
This happens because packages/coreboot/distclean uses #!/bin/sh and
that the default sh shell isn't using bash:
$ readlink $(which sh)
dash
and using bash instead works fine:
$ bash resources/packages/coreboot/distclean ; echo $?
0
all the other distclean scripts in packages/*/ have exactly the same
issue. The tests/distlean script is also affected since it also
sources the distclean task.
So we use #!/usr/bin/env bash as it work with both Guix and regular
more or less FHS compliant distributions.
This issue was introduced by the commit
c7e28dc660 ("packages: Add distclean").

We can't require contributors to install Ubuntu as it has freedom
issues[1] but for contributors, installing Trisquel is easier since
it's at least FSDG compliant[2]. So it makes sense to show that
Trisquel is the primary target here.
This is also reflected in the reality as the current GNU Boot
maintainers already installed Trisquel 10 inside virtual machines
and/or containers to test this script.

It is possible to install GNU Boot on I945 Thinkpads without opening
the computer even if the nonfree bios sets the bootblock region (the
last 64K of the flash chip) read-only.
The flash chip looks like that:
+----- -----+---------------------------+-------------------------+
| ... | Secondary bootblock (64k) | Primary bootblock (64k) |
+----- -----+---------------------------+-------------------------+
0 0x1e0000 2MiB
To bypass the read-only restriction we use an utility (bucts) that
tells the hardware to swap the primary bootblock with the secondary
one for the next boot. We then have to disable that swap and reflash
again.
CONFIG_INTEL_ADD_TOP_SWAP_BOOTBLOCK generates the two bootblocks
directly in coreboot so we don't need to use special commands to do
that anymore.
In addition the MacBook 1.1 and 2.1 are known not to have such
read-only restrictions so they don't need to have
CONFIG_INTEL_ADD_TOP_SWAP_BOOTBLOCK enabled.

The various scripts present in GNU Boot are very fragile, so it's a
good idea to have a pristine GNU Boot source code for making releases.
The issue is that 'git clean -dfx' doesn't remove existing git
repositories like coreboot/ grub/ etc, so we need additional code to
take care of that.

The various build scripts are scattered around in multiple
places. This make it hard for contributors to understand what they
need to modify.
Most GNU Boot users are interested in running GNU/Linux or BSD
operating systems. And the way to install software on these
operating systems is through a package manager. So most users and
contributors already know the package manager abstraction.
So using that abstraction makes it easier to find where things are.
The scripts to install dependencies don't really fit the new structure
but for now we move them in to make sure that everything works
fine. This could be fixed later on and migrated to a single
dependencies packages by auto-detecting the distribution with
/etc/os-release.
