core/legal-info: use hash file from version sub-dir

2017-07-29T20:34:41+00:00

When we have multiple versions for a package, and the licensing terms depend on the version actually selected (e.g. like Qt5), storing the hashes for those license files in the .hash file is broken: the infra will ensure that all hashes for a file do match, which would not be the case here. We fix that by first looking for a hash file in the version sub-dir first, and if that does not exist, then we use the main hash file. Drop the useless intermediate variable 'ret'. Update the documentation accordingly. Reported-by: Joshua Henderson Signed-off-by: "Yann E. MORIN" Cc: Joshua Henderson Cc: Thomas Petazzoni Cc: Luca Ceresoli Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

package/linux-tools: change method for including linux-tool sub-makefiles

2017-07-19T19:16:38+00:00

Make inclusion ordering of all linux-tool-*.mk sub-makefiles explicit instead of relying on alphabetical sort order. This is done by renaming the Linux tools sub-makefiles to the format linux-tool-*.mk.in. This causes the top-level Makefile to ignore the Linux tools sub-makefiles. Until now, the main Makefile included all linux-tool-*.mk files, as well as linux-tools.mk, and it relied on alphabetical sorting to include them in the proper order (linux-tool-*.mk before linux-tools.mk).

manual: patches are not applied for SITE_METHOD = local

2017-07-09T15:25:48+00:00

We had several remarks on the mailing list of users that were surprised that patches were not applied for packages whose SITE_METHOD is local. So document this. Note that for OVERRIDE_SRCDIR itself it is already documented: When Buildroot finds that for a given package, an _OVERRIDE_SRCDIR has been defined, it will no longer attempt to download, extract and patch the package. Instead, it will directly use the source code available in in the specified directory. Signed-off-by: Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind) Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni
