* manual: restructure 'Adding packages' chapterArnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind)2012-11-271-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | The depends-on-vs-select part of the manual really deserves its own section title (especially because it is referred to and the xref gets a 'sinpara' in PDF if the section doesn't have a title). So restructure the surrounding sections to reduce the section nesting depth.

* manual: give example where _INSTALL_TARGET = NOArnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind)2012-11-272-15/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | The tutorial for autotools-package and cmake-package currently gives the bad example of setting _INSTALL_TARGET to YES, which is the default. So change this into an example with _INSTALL_TARGET = NO, and explain in which case this is relevant.

* manual: rework the whole documentation stubSamuel Martin2012-11-1531-58/+160
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* New top-level directory: systemThomas Petazzoni2012-11-041-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This directory groups the following elements: * the default root filesystem skeleton * the default device tables * the Config.in options for system configuration (UART port for getty, system hostname, etc.) * the make rules to apply the system configuration options Even though the skeleton and device tables could have lived in fs/, it would have been strange to have the UART, system hostname and other related options into fs/. A new system/ directory makes more sense. As a consequence, this patch also removes target/Makefile.in, which has become useless in the process.

* pkg-infra: add host-xxx-package macroArnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind)2012-07-173-25/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
