- `meson64`-`edge` (6.2.y): drop old/unused/pre-armbian-next builddeb patch that was leftover
- `meson64`-`edge` (6.2.y): pick & squash from chewitt's tree; new t95z board and its tm1628 driver, fixes for odroidc2, vim3, gxl/gxm SDIO
- `meson64`-`edge` (6.2.y): reword the `-spi` extra DTBs for the N2(+) into more generic for g12; add VIM3/VIM3L which also have same SPI NOR scheme
- `meson64`-`edge` (6.2.y): update .config to 6.2.16; enable `CONFIG_TM1628`
- `meson64`-`edge` (6.2.y): rebase to 6.2.16 after picking chewitt
- bsp-cli: now depends on `base-files (>= ${REVISION})`, this way upgrading the bsp-cli causes our base-files to be installed
- bsp-cli no longer does gymnastics with /etc/os-release et al, all done in armbian-base-files now
- general/apt-utils.sh: introduce `apt_find_upstream_package_version_and_download_url()`
- base-files: add release to version, in order to comply with repo restrictions (valid repos can't have two different debs with same name and version, md5 must match)
- rationale: we don't want an eternal chicken-egg problem with rootfs vs repo.
- but, desktop rootfs require some parts of repo. case in point: `system-monitoring-center`
- so only add certain components of repo (-desktop, -utils) to rootfs so that is honored
- introduce `custom_apt_repo()` hook for extensions to add their repos as well
- same chicken-egg-avoiding is possible via param `CUSTOM_REPO_WHEN`
- materialized overwrites:
- `add-board-helios64.patch`
- `add-board-orangepi-r1-plus.patch`
- `add-driver-for-Motorcomm-YT85xx+PHYs.patch`
- `add-board-rk3328-roc-pc.patch`
- not touched: wifi patches, those still require work before rebase is consistent.
- `wifi-4003-uwe5622-adjust-for-rockchip.patch`
- this patch is done on top of the wifi drivers patches exclusively, and fails to apply out of tree.
- we should probably consider moving this into the wifi drivers patch harness, not in the rockchip tree.
- otherwise we get 4 errors for each "error" in CI
- one for the real error
- one for "wait for cleanups"
- one for "Docker build failed"
- one from GHA itself since command failed (we can't get rid of this)
- `odroidxu4`'s firmware hook for vendor kernel. such is life, no use warning.
- `sun50iw9`: vendor kernel with extension, proven working, stop warning
- old kernels don't have working headers, it's a fact of life, remove warning
- `PACKAGE_LIST_BOARD_REMOVE` is used only in `helios64` board
- the fact is `PACKAGE_LIST_BOARD_REMOVE` removes the packages _from the rootfs_ and not _from the image_
- this only accounts for that fact, but in the future we should actually change how this works
