Revert "core: add the possibility to provide help for custom rules"

2016-04-17T08:55:37+00:00

This reverts commit 84c825f8e893bfb56847ab4a880c46066a41744f. Turns out that the custom help is not available when the $(O) directory has not been configure yet (i.e. when there is no .config already filled). Rather than trying to work around this limitation with dirty hacks, just revert this feature. After all, this will not prevent an external.mk from providing custom help anyway; it's just not gonna be advertised nor displayed with the main help. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

core: add the possibility to provide help for custom rules

2016-03-19T15:41:22+00:00

When using a br2-external tree, it is possible (as stated in our manual) to implement whatever arbitrary extra make rules (such as flashing a board, or extracting the rootfs in an NFS export...). Some of those extra rules might be exposed to the user as new entry points that the user can call by itself. However, there is no way for the br2-external to advertise those new rules in the help text. We add the possibility to do so, by adding a new make rule, called help-custom, advertised in our own help info. It is up to the br2-external tree to provide whatever help text is deemed necessary. The format of the help is completely free-form. Note that we need to provide an empty, dummy help-custom rule, since it is always advertised (making it .PHONY does not work). Since this rule is empty, make gently reports that there is "Nothing to be done for `help-local'", which is pretty well fitting when help-local was not provided (either because there's no br2-external tree, or when the br2-external tree does not provide it.
