Tip

Work around old version of KernelSU in BlissOS version 16.9.7 if necessary

• (su --shell argument is being ignored tiann/KernelSU#2523)

to get root in fully-up-to-date Termux in BlissOS version 16.9.7, first grant Termux root permission in KernelSU app, then unset LD_PRELOAD, then launch a new bash session, then directly invoke /system/bin/su (with absolute path), then set LD_PRELOAD again

unset LD_PRELOAD
bash
/system/bin/su
export LD_PRELOAD=/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/libtermux-exec-ld-preload.so

# open tray and insert CD-RW
cdrecord -eject
# erase CD-RW
cdrecord -blank=fast
# burn .iso to CD-RW
cdrecord alpine-standard-3.22.2-x86_64.iso

Closes #27346

@TomJo2000 (this is WIP and an attempt, not a final package yet. It is a fork of the current tur-on-device package)

Hi thanks for the PR and project history explanation.
I don't have any objections to packaging this current iteration of schillytools.
My prior objection in #26979 (comment) was specifically about packaging a dead branch of this project.
The current Codeberg iteration of the project fulfills all applicable packaging criteria.

[xingguangcuican6666]

I am currently encountering some issues. I found that some tools are dynamically generated during compilation, but this part uses a cross-compiler. They should be compiled using the host's compiler because they are only used at compile time.

Pull request overview

This PR adds the schilytools package (version 2024-03-21), a comprehensive collection of utilities from Jörg Schilling, historically known as "cdrtools" or "cdrecord". The package includes multiple subpackages for various tools including CD/DVD recording utilities, shells, archiving tools, and development utilities.

• Addition of main schilytools package with extensive cross-compilation configuration
• Multiple subpackages organized by functionality (cdrtools, star, bosh shell, sccs, etc.)
• Extensive patching to adapt upstream code for Termux compatibility, including renaming conflicts and fixing Android-specific issues

Yes, this part is very difficult. In case you did not find it yet, there is official documentation of cross-compiling for Android here:

https://codeberg.org/schilytools/schilytools/src/commit/e835e64f0d84a614b3c8d619ac646060ea6922a5/README.compile#L638-L754

Unfortunately, even when I tried to follow the steps given in the documentation, I was still not able to get it to work and I didn't know what to do, but it might still be helpful for you if you haven't seen it yet.

@robertkirkman I'm here to give an update on my progress. Currently, I can correctly compile smake on the host machine, but I've encountered some issues with rule files generation. I will resolve them as soon as possible, even though I've been trying for a week. If you're willing, could you help me?

Here is the logs.

CONFIG_RMTHOST=host or CONFIG_RMTHOST=user@host required for remote execution

@xingguangcuican6666 yes, I can tell you something that will progress slightly farther beyond this error.

It is this:

export CONFIG_RMTHOST=host

Then, after that, the next error will be this:

sh: 2: OBJ/aarch64-linux-clang/avoffset: Exec format error

unfortunately, once you reach the error sh: 2: OBJ/aarch64-linux-clang/avoffset: Exec format error, you will have gone pretty much as far as I ever reached.

I tried many things to bypass the error sh: 2: OBJ/aarch64-linux-clang/avoffset: Exec format error, but everything I tried failed with more errors except for tur-on-device, which was the only way I was able to figure out how to bypass that error.

Good luck with it! I hope you can figure out some way.

[xingguangcuican6666]

Okay, thank you very much for your help, I will continue to fix it.
