* docs/manual: do not override BR2_EXTERNALYann E. MORIN2015-11-031-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, we forcibly override BR2_EXTERNAL when building the manual, so as to avoid referring to packages therein from the manual. However, when generating the lists of packages, we limit ourselves to scanning for packages in (Buildroot's) TOPDIR and never search in BR2_EXTERNAL. So, we do not really need to override BR2_EXTERNAL when generating the manual to achieve the same result. Furthermore, we're only looking for packages that are defined in the sub-menu "Target packages", and never anywhere else, and especially not in the sub-menu "User-provided options". Finally, we're soon to completely eliminate use of BR2_EXTERNAL in Kconfig altogether, so that would no longer have any impact anyway. So, just leave BR2_EXTERNAL alone when generating the manual.

* core/pkg-generic: allow packages to exclude files when extractingYann E. MORIN2015-11-031-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, packages that need to exclude parts of the archives when extracting (e.g. to gain space), like gcc or toolchain-external, have to provide custom extract commands, just for the sake of adding a bunch of --exclude directives when calling tar. Add a new variable that packages may set, to provide a space-separated list of patterns to exclude. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

* ccache: support changing the output directoryArnout Vandecappelle2015-10-041-0/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When building in a different output directory than the original build, there will currently be a lot of ccache misses because in many cases there is some -I/... absolute path in the compilation. Ccache has an option CCACHE_BASEDIR to substitute absolute paths with relative paths, so they wil be the same in the hash (and in the output). Since there are some disadvantages to this path rewriting, it is made optional as BR2_CCACHE_USE_BASEDIR. It defaults to y because the usefulness of ccache is severely reduced without this option. In addition to CCACHE_BASEDIR, we also substitute away the occurences of $(HOST_DIR) in the calculation of the compiler hash. This is done regardless of the setting of BR2_CCACHE_USE_BASEDIR because it's quite harmless.

* docs/manual: makedevs only accepts numerical valuesYann E. MORIN2015-08-291-4/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because of a limitation in how makedevs resolves names [0], usernames and groupnames would be resolved with UIDs and GIDs from the host, not the target. Fixing makedevs would involve us rewriting a /etc/passwd and /etc/group parser (not too complex, still not trivial). Document that the user and group fields should only be numbers, not names. Also, the manual is currently misleading, as an example indeed uses names for the user and group fields. Fix that and expand the explanations. The mode field should also be numbers, not a rwx combo. Slight typographical eye-candy about major/minor fields. [0] it uses getpwnma(3) and getgrnam(3) to resolve names to IDs, and those only resolve names on the host (i.e. there is no way to specify a chroot-like feature) Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following allows a user definition to specify that a created user entry should not have a password value set. Original implementation allowed a user definition to provide a password value of "=" (no quotes) to generate a crypt-encoded empty string value. In some cases, it may be desired to have no value specified for a user's password. By using a value "-" for a password, no value will be set in the shadow value. An example when this can be used is when logging into a terminal. Logging into a session with an encoded empty password will prompt a user to enter a password since it does not know the password is empty. If the password field blank, a login session will not prompt for a password. Signed-off-by: James Knight <james.knight@rockwellcollins.com> Acked-by: "Yann E.

Fix that by re-using the global $(COMMON_CONFIG_ENV) variable, overriding just what we don't want (i.e. br2-external location and defconfig path). Also, slightly re-order variables so the ones we override come right after the common settings, moving the specific ones at the end, one variable per line. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add support to explicitly state that an archive has no hash. This can be used for archives downloaded from a repository, like a git-clone or a subversion checkout, or using the github helper. This will come in handy when we'll eventually make hashes mandatory as soon as a .hash file exists: for some packages, like gcc, some versions are downloaded as archives from upstream, while other versions may come from a GitHub repository (via the github herlper). In this case, a .hash file would exist, that contains hashes for the downloaded tarballs, but archives downloaded from the repository would not have a hash (since it is currently not possible to have reproducible such archives). So, we'd need a way to explicitly state there is no hash, on purpose, for those archives. So, add 'none' as a new type of hash. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.
