--- Begin Message ---Package: esptool Version: 2.6+dfsg-1 Severity: normal esptool in Debian currently strips the flasher stub code, which limits the usefulness of the software significantly (e.g. flashing doesn't work). The reasoning stated in README.Debian is: The binary stub code has been purged [...] due to DFSG as that code statically links to Espressif SDK libraries which are under license limitation of using with Espressif systems only and/or are distributed with no source code. This made sense at the time it was written. A while ago, I raised this with upstream¹ and back in October they merged a change² which removed the dependency on the SDKs, and thus resolving those pesky license incompatibilities. A working toolchain is still required, however. Thanks to the awesome efforts of Jonathan (Cc'ed) this is now close to being a reality! There are many parts to it, but the required parts for building the stub for the ESP8266 are: * GCC/binutils, available in Debian (even buster) with gcc-xtensa-lx106 and binutils-xtensa-lx106; * A working libc. Espressif's SDK includes a patched newlib. Instead of that, we can use picolibc, which as of v1.3 (released upstream three days ago, and with a package in NEW³) supports ESP8266. Between those two, removing the -Werror from upstream's Makefile⁴ and a small patch to build the code only for the ESP8266 and not the ESP32, I managed to build a stub and include it (manually) in the source. I'm happy to report that I just tested it on a D1 Mini Pro board and it works! The Debian package will require some d/rules mechanics + esptool.py patches to fully implement this (and on a per-chip basis), and it's still not going to provide a solution for the ESP32, but... progress :) Hopefully picolibc will pass through NEW soon; as soon as that happens, please include support for building and shipping the stub in the Debian package. I'll try to provide some patches if I find the time, but please don't wait for me :) Regards, Faidon 1: https://github.com/espressif/esptool/issues/458 2: https://github.com/espressif/esptool/commit/6a5cb2debed15b19f3fca52d6580e2f2189f7a5e 3: https://ftp-master.debian.org/new/picolibc_1.3-1.html 4: https://github.com/espressif/esptool/issues/499

(Closes: #983719) - Update debian/copyright to match upstream changes. - Update build dependencies: drop python3-pyaes, and add python3-bitstring, python3-cryptography, python3-reedsolo and python3-pkcs11. * Compile and ship the flasher stub for ESP8266, as well as the ESP32 RISC-V variants (currently ESP32-C2, ESP32-C3, ESP32-C6, ESP32-H2). Notably, this does not include the ESP32 Xtensa variants (ESP32, ESP32-S2 and ESP32-S3) as there is no working toolchain in Debian for these. (Closes: #948096) * While the full test suite is stripped out and cannot be executed, add a few superficial autopkgtests: an autodep8 one, as well as smoke tests by running --help in the target environment. * Various package hygiene changes: - Revamp the build process to use dh-python, pybuild and setuptools to build and install the binaries. This means we now ship the "esptool" Python module for other packages to use. (Closes: #973031) - Drop upstream patch "shebang", as that is not necessary with pybuild. - Add Rules-Requires-Root: no, to indicate that the package does not need root to build. - Drop debian/NEWS, as it only included a news item for a version older than oldstable. - Add support for the "nodoc" build profile. - Add upstream metadata. - Bump debhelper compatibility level from 10 to 13. - Bump Standards-Version to 4.6.2. - Add gbp.conf and switch to DEP-14 branch naming. * Stop shipping CONTRIBUTING.md and its respective .html. Contributors are encouraged to look in the upstream GitHub repository for the latest information on how to contribute to the upstream project.
