package/makedevs: use the rooted /etc/passwd and /etc/group

2016-02-01T07:02:00+00:00

Currently, makedevs will query the host's /etc/passwd and /etc/group to resolve usernames and group names. This is inherently flawed, as we can never guarantee that the UIDs will be the same on the target as on the host, or even whether a particular user does exist on the host. This is because getpwnam() and getgrnam() will forcibly read the system's /etc/passwd and /etc/group, and there is no way to tell them to look anywhere else. However, we can use fgetpwent() and fgetgrent() instead, for which we can pass a FILE* stream to read from to get the entries. This means we must implement the scanning-loop ourselves, but fortunately, that's pretty trivial to do.

[Thomas: change license to be GPLv2. The header of makedevs.c is a bit unclear, as it mentions both the GPL and LGPL. But since the code seems to originally be coming from Busybox, assuming GPLv2 is the safest option.] Signed-off-by: Gustavo Zacarias Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

makedevs: change version from 'undefined' to 'buildroot-$(BR2_VERSION)'

2014-06-14T17:10:18+00:00

The sources of the makedevs package are shipped with Buildroot, rather than downloaded from an external location. As a result, no explicit version is defined, causing build messages and build directory to show 'undefined' as version. This patch sets the version for makedevs to 'buildroot-$(BR2_VERSION), which would for example expand to 'buildroot-2014.05'. Signed-off-by: Thomas De Schampheleire Acked-by: "Yann E.
