binary packages for armv7

Follow up to https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap/issues/238. We have armv7 available now, but everything needs to be manually compiled for now. As expected, not everything that has armv7 in the arch line in the APKBUILD will compile for armv7 out of the box.

• try to build everything for armv7 once
• put a list of packages that failed here
• fix all packages
  • heimdall
  • qca-qt5 (!146 (merged))
• enable armv7 for all armhf packages (partially done in !130 (merged) and !131 (merged))
• make sure all packages build again
• provide all packages for armv7 in the binary repository

For the initial build, I've quickly hacked together the following script. It makes use of pmbootstrap's new repo_missing feature.

#!/bin/sh -e

echo "calculate packages"
packages="$(pmbootstrap -q repo_missing --arch=armv7 --overview | cut -d\" -f 2)"

FAIL=""
for package in $packages; do
    # not real packages
    if [ "$package" = "]" ] || [ "$package" = "[" ]; then
        continue
    fi

    # build one package
    echo "build $package"
    if pmbootstrap -q build "$package" --arch=armv7 --strict; then
        echo " => OK"
    else
        echo " => FAIL"
        FAIL="$FAIL $package"
    fi
done

echo "---"
echo "FAILED: $FAIL"
echo "---"

The only package that failed to build is heimdall.

But as you guys have already noticed, a lot of packages don't have "armv7" (or "all") in their "arch=" line in the APKBUILD, so we would need to add it there in order to have the same packages for armhf and armv7 available.

For reference, this script adds "armv7" to all APKBUILDs that have "armhf" already (and skips the ones where it was already set).

Sometimes it makes more sense to set the arch back to "all" though, or to "all !x86" if we want to exclude x86 only (as @PureTryOut suggested in !130 (merged)).

I've compiled everything up to qca-qt5 (and depending packages) this weekend and put them up in the binary repository. It seems like when we resolved that (and potentially other packages that broke, which we did not notice yet), then we'll soon have the binary repo ready for armv7

By Oliver Smith on 2019-01-14T07:33:02

Now it was stuck at telepathy-mission-control, which is fixed with 82d9c87d. Continued the build.

...it's at kitineary right now, and I did not look into why it doesn't build yet. Could be the same python makedepend error. If somebody wants to help out, try to build all the kde packages with --strict for armv7 and fix the errors that pop up.
