This repository consists of a Debian source package that builds multiple binary packages. These packages simplify the organisation and structure of packages in pi-topOS.
It is used as a convenient way of installing all of the component parts required for pi-topOS, and smoothly handling changes in packages during system updates.
Simple systemd services are managed via the pt-os-notify-services package. More advanced services are provided as part of separate source packages.
pt-os is the root Debian package. Installing this package will install ALL packages that pi-topOS uses on top of Raspberry Pi OS.
Required dependencies:
pt-os-sys-mods(Provides a package-updatable method for providing OTA updates/fixes)pt-os-version(Used to identify pi-topOS version)
neofetch is a recommended dependency for SSH login message in the OS build.
The remaining dependencies are dummy packages for installing the various parts of the OS:
pt-device-supportpt-os-appspt-os-desktoppt-os-dev-toolspt-os-networkingpt-os-onboardingpt-os-uipt-os-user-libs
See debian/control for more detail about what packages are installed.
Adds /usr/bin/sonic-pi-server for starting Sonic Pi without frontend GUI.
Adds first-time init logic:
Handles modifying cmdline.txt for handling first time boot.
During first boot:
- prevent pi-top [4] from showing 'connect SD card' animation
- expand file system
- enable wifi card
- disable text redirect
Additional files:
/usr/lib/pt-os-init/pt-hub-handshake/usr/lib/pt-os-init/source
Simple utilities used by pi-topOS, provided by systemd services. This package contains a background memory usage monitor, a service to notify users when they are using a preview build of pi-topOS and a service to ensure that Raspberry Pi 4s that are in use with a pi-top [4] have their EEPROM configured correctly.
Services:
pt-os-memory-monitorpt-wifi-ap-warningpt-eeprom-managerpt-os-version-notify
A simple text file containing the OS version: /etc/pi-top_os_version.
