Warn the user about the usage of output/target as the root filesystem

2012-11-17T16:12:49Z

A very common mistake done by our users is that they use output/target/ directory as their root filesystem. Even though this is loudly documented in our Buildroot manual, people don't read documentation, so it is not sufficient. This patch adds a text file named output/target/THIS_IS_NOT_YOUR_ROOT_FILESYSTEM which explains why output/target isn't appropriate to use as the root filesystem. The process is: * At the beginning of the build, right after the skeleton has been copied, support/misc/target-dir-warning.txt is copied to output/target/THIS_IS_NOT_YOUR_ROOT_FILESYSTEM * In the filesystem images creation code, this file is removed before launching fakeroot, and restored right after that, so that this file is not present in the generated root filesystem images. Note that the file has not been added to the default skeleton for two reasons: * It would have annoying to have in our source tree a file named in capital letters inside system/skeleton/ * The proposed way works even if the user uses a custom skeleton.

support/gnuconfig: update config.{guess, sub} to a newer version

2012-11-15T20:30:32Z

We need more recent versions of config.guess and config.sub in order to support the aarch64 architecture. Otherwise, all autoconf packages fail to build with failures like: http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/abcdbe1aaf1c203c82dc3e4ec8c002b9b9e550e0/build-end.log We take this opportunity to turn the config.* patches into proper Git patches, and note which Git commit of the config.git repository we used as the original source.

support/graph-depends: fix out-of-tree usage

2012-08-14T13:09:21Z

graph-depends calls make to get the list of packages, and the dependencies of each package. When called out-of-tree, the Makefile is a wrapper that calls the real Makefile, so make will spit out a line like: make -C /path/to/buildroot O=/path/to/build-dir show-targets which graph-depends wrongly believes is part of the target list. Be silent when calling make, as we really only want the target and dependency lists. Signed-off-by: "Yann E. MORIN" Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

pkg-stats: statistics about license files information

2012-08-05T09:50:10Z

Since on some packages we are adding _LICENSE but not necessarily _LICENSE_FILES, let's add a separate statistic to track these informations. This will allow us to improve both the number of packages covered by _LICENSE and _LICENSE_FILES. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

pkg-stats: support _LICENSE = lines with spaces

2012-08-05T09:44:52Z

For alignement reasons, we sometimes add spaces between _LICENSE and the equal sign. Take this into account in pkg-stats. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

pkg-stats: add license information, rework information displayed

2012-07-31T19:32:25Z

Now that most packages have been converted over to package infrastructures, keep only one column to show the package infrastructures. A new column, showing of the package has license information, has been added. This will help in increasing the number of packages having license metadata. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

Rename XXXTARGETS to xxx-package

2012-07-17T18:22:41Z

With the introduction of a specific macro for host targets, it was decided to also make the names of the macros more intuitive: generic-package, autotools-package and cmake-package. Signed-off-by: Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind)

pkg-infra: add host-xxx-package macro

2012-07-17T18:17:33Z

Create host-generic-package, host-autotools-package and host-cmake-package macros. Such a macro is more intuitive to use than the $(call ...,host) construct. Also it speeds things up by having one less $(call ...) evaluation. Also includes documentation update, but not for buildroot.html. This brings the time for 'make -qp' (which is used by bash-completion) down from 1.85s to 1.35s on my laptop. Signed-off-by: Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind) Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni
