manual: do not track generated files

2013-05-04T10:50:14+00:00

Since there is no need to edit the generated list, we don't need to keep the files under git control, so remove the existing lists. Signed-off-by: Samuel Martin Signed-off-by: "Yann E. MORIN" Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

manual: add a make target 'manual-update-lists'

packages: add ability for packages to create users

2013-04-25T20:56:42+00:00

Packages that install daemons may need those daemons to run as a non-root, or an otherwise non-system (eg. 'daemon'), user. Add infrastructure for packages to create users, by declaring the FOO_USERS variable that contain a makedev-syntax-like description of the user(s) to add. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

dependencies: remove a few useless mandatory dependencies

2013-03-24T12:51:21+00:00

awk, bison, flex, makeinfo, gettext should be built as dependencies of packages when needed. In practice, even the toolchain build doesn't need any of these, and only a few packages do require them. It is not needed to list gzip and bzip2 since they are already checked through ${DL_TOOLS}: whenever a package needs gzip or bzip2 for its extraction, the dependency is added.

rework patch model

2013-03-19T22:10:49+00:00

At the Buildroot Developers Meeting (4-5 February 2013, in Brussels) a change to the patch logic was discussed. See http://elinux.org/Buildroot:DeveloperDaysFOSDEM2013 for details. In summary: * For patches stored in the package directory, if package/// does exist, apply package///*.patch, otherwise, apply package//*.patch * For patches stored in the global patches directory, if $(GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR)/// does exist, apply $(GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR)///*.patch, otherwise, apply $(GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR)//*.patch This patch adds the new BR2_GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR configuration item, and reworks the generic package infrastructure to implement the new patch logic.
