* manual: rename section name of package listsThomas De Schampheleire2013-10-141-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | The original titles did no longer correspond with the actual menu names. Additionally, choose a name that better reflects the fact that this is a list.

* package: add a <pkg>_EXTRA_DOWNLOADS variableThomas Petazzoni2013-10-081-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Converting the external toolchain logic into a package raises a very special use case that wasn't handled by the package infrastructure: the Blackfin toolchain is delivered as two tarballs instead of one. Unfortunately <pkg>_SOURCE only allows to pass one tarball name. However, we really want both tarballs to be known by the package infrastructure, so that the normal 'source' and 'external-deps' mechanism work fine. In order to achieve this, we add a <pkg>_EXTRA_DOWNLOADS variable, which allows a package to list other stuff it would like to see downloaded, but that are otherwise not used by the package infrastructure itself: it is up to the package to do it by itself.

* toolchain/wrapper: add option to print one argument per lineYann E. MORIN2013-09-221-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In case there are many arguments passed to the tools, the command line can get very long, and difficult to parse visually. For example, the Linux kernel passes a lot of arguments to gcc (at least 45, which gives 53 with our hard-coded args). Looking at such a command line is daunting. So, add the possibility to print each argument on its own line. Also, enclose all args between single quotes, so the command line can be safely copy-pasted without special chars (spaces, $) being inrerpreted by the shell. Add blurb about toolchain-wrapper to documentation at the same time. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

* system: add option to pass extra args to post-build and post-image scriptsYann E. MORIN2013-07-101-7/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It can be useful to have different configuration use the same post-build and/or post-image scripts as they share a common infrastructure, but yet have minor differentiation. This option allows passing zero or more additional arguments to each post-build or post-image script. The same set of extra arguments are passed to all scripts, it is not possible to pass different arguments to each script.
