GNUtoo: Removed speculations from the commit message
Acked-by: Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli <GNUtoo@cyberdimension.org>
We need to somehow isolate the git configuration being used to build
GNU Boot from the rest of the system as otherwise things like
automatic gpg signatures can kick in and block the build because it
waits for a pinentry.
In addition:
- It enables us to simplify the build code as the git configuration is
now the same during all the build.
- Contributors don't need to setup git anymore just to build GNU
Boot. This also makes GNU Boot a bit more reproductible.
Replacing git inside the build scripts / Makefiles enable us to still
run them manually (like ./resources/packages/coreboot/download).

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").

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.
