## Relation to pmaports
For pmbootstrap to be useful, it needs to maintain a local copy of the
[pmaports](https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmaports) repository where
postmarketOS-specific packages are maintained. This is set up automatically, but
the local copy of pmaports does not automatically get updated. To update it, you
can run `$ pmbootstrap pull`.
The latest pmbootstrap version works with currently
[active postmarketOS releases](https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Releases).
Attempting to use pmboostrap with old postmarketOS versions (old pmaports
branches) may result in failures and is not supported. See
`pmbootstrap_min_version` in
[pmaports.cfg](https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Pmaports.cfg_reference) for
the oldest supported pmbootstrap version for a given pmaports revision. The
upper bound is not documented.
## Usage Examples
