* rework patch modelSimon Dawson2013-03-191-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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/<pkg>/<version>/ does exist, apply package/<pkg>/<version>/*.patch, otherwise, apply package/<pkg>/*.patch * For patches stored in the global patches directory, if $(GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR)/<pkg>/<version>/ does exist, apply $(GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR)/<pkg>/<version>/*.patch, otherwise, apply $(GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR)/<pkg>/*.patch This patch adds the new BR2_GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR configuration item, and reworks the generic package infrastructure to implement the new patch logic.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new skeleton of the manual as it has been thought: 1. About Buildroot: Presentation of Buildroot 2. Starting up: Everything to quickly and easily start working with Buildroot 3. Working with Buildroot Basics to make your work fitting your needs 4. Troubleshooting 5. Going further in Buildroot's innards Explaination of how buildroot is organised, how it works, etc 6. Developer Guidelines 7. Getting involved 8. Contibuting to Buildroot 9. Legal notice 10. Appendix It is easy to distinguish two parts in this plan: - Sections 1 to 4 mainly address people starting with Buildroot - Sections 5 to 10 are more focused on how to develop Buildroot itself Most of the existing sections have just been moved in the hierarchy, few were split and dispatch in, what i think was the relevant section, and numerous others have been created.
