UI specific package

User interfaces in postmarketOS are packaged in  in pmaports.

Variables
Some  variables of UI packages have additional meaning. Furthermore there are pmbootstrap specific variables (prefixed with ) that only get used during   and. When the installation is done, the  variables are irrelevant: they are only in the   and not in the built package, so   doesn't know about them.

Keep this list in alphabetical order.

_pmb_groups

 * Groups to which the default user should be added to during the installation.

_pmb_recommends

 * Packages to install together with the UI, which can be uninstalled by the user.

_pmb_select

 * Let  display a prompt for each package in the given list of package, which provider to use for that package.

options

 * The  option is specific to postmarketOS UI APKBUILDs. See pmbootstrap specific APKBUILD options.

pkgdesc

 * The usual package description (see APKBUILD Reference). However, for UI packages it is also used in  for the UI selection.

Extras subpackage
For, we have added an extras subpackage that has additional. Other  options should work with this specific subpackage too (not with others though!). However, it's questionable how useful the extras subpackage is nowadays, as we have working graphical package managers now and just build the regular, non-extras package in official images (-extras subpackage was added before we had automated building images). So it's probably a good idea not to add more of those at least.
