probably not actually needed, but it annoys me that it doesn't
come installed by default, and it's needed for certain git
operations

dnf reinstall package
or
dnf install package
for reinstall, do this:
./mk dependencies fedora41 re
this is an example command
the 4th argument prefixes "install" in dnf install
a bit hacky but it should work

In Debian dependencies files. These are available in
Debian Stable, but liblz4-tool is a transitional
package referring to lz4; liblz4-tool transition
package is unavailable in Debian sid, so remove it
from the dependencies files.

./mk dependencies debian --reinstall
Add --reinstall and it'll do:
apt-get install --reinstall
This can be useful when updating from a stable release
to a testing release. The variable, "reinstall" can be
configured for other distros, but it's currently only
configured for Debian-based distros.
Also, it can be anything. For example, you could add -y;
however, a 4th argument will not be accepted. For example,
you cannot do:
./mk dependencies debian --reinstall -y
If you do this, it'll only see --reinstall; similarly, if
you did this command:
./mk dependencies debian -y --reinstall
then -y would be passed, but not --reinstall. This is an
intentional design decision, in case you accidentally pasted
or subshelled something that outputted something undesirable,
to prevent possible abuse.

because if it says yes to everything, and the package
manager would otherwise ask whether you want to give
it your first born son, you are therefore agreeing to it.
so remove -y for safety

openssl-devel was split up in Fedora 41, and this package is required to build libreboot
on Fedora 41.
This was reported by "tweezers" on #libreboot.

I was build-testing gru_bob on an arm64 host, and got a
build error when compiling U-Boot.
Python.h missing - installing python3-devel fixes it.

We don't need the entire emulator, but we will be using
a specific part: src/mips/openbios
third_party/uC-sdk submodule is included, because it
contains the necessary header files when building open bios.
I will be adding Sony Playstation support to Canoeboot,
alongside a new emulator project to be announced soon.
Yes, RYF playstation is possible. A real playstation can
run this BIOS. Then disable the copy protection from the
CD controller by installing a modchip (PsNee runs free
modchip firmware), and picostation is also libre if you want
something to boot software from SD card instead of CD-R.
Very hackable 90s games console. Libre SDKs also exist that
are quite powerful, so you can actually use this machine while
avoiding all proprietary software of any kind.

cbmk 9429287 is the present canoeboot revision, on this day,
two commits after canoeboot 20231107
the cbmk revision was based on lbmk c4d90087, but lbmk
has developed a lot since, right up to f5b04fa5. lbmk
c4d90087 was four commits after libreboot 20231106
this patch brings cbmk up to date, versus lbmk f5b04fa5,
which is 135 commits after libreboot 20231106 (not 4)
therefore, the next canoeboot release shall import lbmk
changes made *after* lbmk revision f5b04fa5. good day!
In English (the above is for my reference, next time
I make a new canoeboot release):
This imports all of the numerous improvements from
Libreboot, sans the non-FSDG-compliant changes. You
can find a full list of such changes in the audit4 page:
https://libreboot.org/news/audit4.html
A full canoeboot-ised changelog will be available in
the next canoeboot release, with these and subsequent
changes. Most notable here is the update to the new
GRUB 2.12 release (instead of 2.12-rc1), and the
improvements Riku made to pico-serprog. And the build
system improvements from lbmk, such as improved, more
generic cmake and autoconf handling.
Canoeboot-specific changes: I also tweaked the deblob
logic, to make it less error-prone. The new design
changes imported into cbmk (based on latest lbmk) somewhat
broke the deblob logic; it was constantly reminding the
user that blobs.list was missing for coreboot,
at config/coreboot/blobs.list - coreboot is a multi-tree
project in both cbmk and lbmk, and the deblob logic was
tuned for single/multi, but was treating coreboot as both.
for simplicity, i removed the check for whether blobs.list
is present. this means that the operator must ensure that
these files are present, in any given revision, where they
are required on a given set of projects (and the files are
all present, in this update to cbmk)
Also of note: the grub.cfg improvements are included in this
cbmk update. The improved grub.cfg can find grub/syslinux
configs by default, not just grub anymore, also finds extlinux,
and will also find them on EFI System Partition - in addition,
UEFI-based install media is also more robust; although cbmk
doesn't provide UEFI configurations on x86, our GRUB palyoad
does still need to work with distro install media, and many
of them now use UEFI-based GRUB configurations in their
installation media, which just happen to work with our GRUB
