* docs: rework LIBFOO_SITE_METHOD documentationNathan Lynch2012-07-021-17/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The current structure of the LIBFOO_SITE_METHOD paragraph would make it difficult to add documentation for the "file" and "local" methods. There are enough possible values for LIBFOO_SITE_METHOD that describing them in a sub-list seems to work well, which makes it easier to add documentation for new methods.

* docs: update LIBFOO_SITE to describe use of filesystem pathsNathan Lynch2012-07-021-7/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | Buildroot supports the use of local filesystem paths in LIBFOO_SITE since the 2011.11 release, but this is not documented in the manual. Fix this and slightly reword the surrounding doucmentation accordingly.

* Add documentation for <pkg>-rebuild and <pkg>-reconfigureStephan Hoffmann2012-04-071-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | Since these two special make targets are very useful but not yet mentioned in the documentation I added them to the make help and the manual. Signed-off-by: Stephan Hoffmann <sho@reLinux.de> Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard <jacmet@sunsite.dk>
* DOWNLOAD: change $1=DIRECTORY_URL, $2=FILE_NAME to $1=FULL_FILE_URL, ↵Alvaro G. M2012-03-181-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | $2=FILE_NAME This modifies the definition of DOWNLOAD to receive two arguments: the first one is the full URL of the file to download, whereas the second (and optional) is the name the file will have once downloaded. Same thing with the SOURCE_CHECK_WGET and SCP functions. All calls to these functions have been changed to the shortest form of the new API, except for toolchains acquisition. Since there is quite a number of different toolchains this call to DOWNLOAD is better set to the generic one. Signed-off-by: Alvaro G.
