| | | | | | | | | We only have one Linux kernel package, and "linux26-" is an anachronism in today's world. So add useful "linux-%" shortcuts to the "linux26-%".

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | * ccache is now a normal package (both for the host and the target). * ccache option is now part of the "Build options" menu. It will automatically build ccache for the host before building anything, and will use it to cache builds for both host compilations and target compilations. * bump ccache to 3.1.3 Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard <jacmet@sunsite.dk>

* Remove support for shared configuration cacheThomas Petazzoni2010-11-051-7/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The configuration cache shared between packages, while being in principle a nice idea to speed-up the configuration of packages by avoiding repetitive identical checks, turned out to be unreliable due to the subtle differences between similar but not identical checks in different packages. After spending some time trying to fix those, we concluded that supporting the shared configuration cache is definitely too hard and too unreliable, and that we'd better get rid of it altogether. This patch therefore removes the shared configuration cache infrastructure and usage.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current DocType declaration was incorrect. It is neither xhtml strict nor xhtml transitional. So, instead of dealing with that issue, converted it to validated Html5. Fixed white-space errors. Removed validator html4.01 code. Color corrected the code sections. Removed redundant or useless html code. Changed foo to libfoo, for consistency. Changed page bookmarking to use header id's. Re-flowed paragraphs to line break at 80 characters. Re-formatted the code sections for consistency and correctness. Kept all list items, headings, and href's on a single line (where possible).
