* doc/manual: fix generating manual after legacy overhaulYann E. MORIN2015-05-021-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 53903a15 (*config: improve handling of BR2_LEGACY) added an option to entirely skip legacy entries, by passing a variable in the environment. However, it missed one location where that variable is also needed, which is generating the list of packages and deprecated features for inclusion in the manual. 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.

* docs/manual: update documentation about applying patchesThomas Petazzoni2015-04-062-7/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | The Buildroot manual is currently wrong when describing how patches are applied: it says that <packagename>-*.patch is applied, and that <packagename>-<seq>-*.patch is the recommended name for patches. This is incorrect, since we're now using just <seq>-*.patch. This commit adjusts the documentation accordingly.

* support/download: always fail when there's no hashYann E. MORIN2015-04-031-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At the time we introduced hashes, we did not want to be too harsh in the beginning, and give people some time to adapt and accept the hashes. So we so far only whined^Wwarned about a missing hash (when the .hash file exists). Some time has passed now, and people are still missing updating hashes when bumping packages.

* support/download: add explicit no-hash supportYann E. MORIN2015-04-031-2/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Rename BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to BR2_STATIC_LIBSThomas Petazzoni2014-12-112-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since a while, the semantic of BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB has been changed from "prefer static libraries when possible" to "use only static libraries". The former semantic didn't make much sense, since the user had absolutely no control/idea of which package would use static libraries, and which packages would not. Therefore, for quite some time, we have been starting to enforce that BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB should really build everything with static libraries. As a consequence, this patch renames BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to BR2_STATIC_LIBS, and adjust the Config.in option accordingly. This also helps preparing the addition of other options to select shared, shared+static or just static. Note that we have verified that this commit can be reproduced by simply doing a global rename of BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to BR2_STATIC_LIBS plus adding BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to Config.in.legacy.
