package: add generic support for lz archives

2017-02-15T21:11:11+00:00

This commit teaches the generic package handling code how to extract .tar.lz archives. When lzip is not installed on the host, host-lzip gets built automatically. Signed-off-by: Baruch Siach Reviewed-by: Thomas De Schampheleire Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

package: refactor listing of extractor dependencies

2017-02-15T21:11:11+00:00

Don't special case $(XZCAT) when constructing DL_TOOLS_DEPENDENCIES. The next commit will introduce another extractor that automatically builds when not installed. Introduce EXTRACTOR_DEPENDENCY_PRECHECKED_EXTENSIONS that lists archive extensions for which the extractor is already checked in support/dependencies/check-host-foo.mk. Use this in the newly introduced extractor-dependency to populate DL_TOOLS_DEPENDENCIES.

core/legal-info: don't generate big file with all license texts

2016-10-15T10:52:42+00:00

By aggregating all the license files into a single big text-only file means we have no way to use license files that are binary blobs (e.g. pdf, rtf...). Just do not generate that big file; if the user still wants it, it is very easy to create it afterwards. Reported-by: Thomas Petazzoni Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

core: move pkg-utils.mk to support/

2016-08-27T14:03:35+00:00

pkg-utils.mk contains various definitions that are used in the package infrastructures and packages themselves. However, those definitions can be useful in other parts of Buildroot, and are already used in a few places that are not related to the package infrastructure. Also, $(sep) will be needed early in the Makefile when we eventually support multiple br2-external trees. Since this file only contains definitions, we can include it anytime. So, consider that file to no longer be specific to the package infras: - move it to support and rename it, - move a few similar definitions from the main Makefile to that file.

core/pkg-utils: add macro to escape-and-printf

2016-06-07T20:20:53+00:00

In some cases we need to escape make variables and pass them to printf(1). This is the case in our fs infra, where we want to shoe-horn the commands to generate the filesystems in the fakeroot script, or the devices, permissions and users tables to their respective files. We currently do so by replacing $(sep) with the literal '\n' but that's not enough. This does not protect against strings with an embedded '%' or a backslash. Add a new macro that properly escapes a string and calls printf(1), so that we get the expected output. Signed-off-by: "Yann E. MORIN" Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

pkg-utils: mask tput failure for non-interactive sessions

2016-02-21T17:30:09+00:00

When invoking a build from a non-interactive session (for example, a Jenkins build), there is no terminal session to modify. When preparing variables to track the bold and boldoff mode sequences, the `tput` command will always fail as there is no terminal to query. The following change masks the error message when `tput` fails; leaving the TERM_BOLD and TERM_RESET variables empty. Signed-off-by: James Knight Acked-by: "Yann E.

pkg-generic: substitute colon and space out of PKG_VERSION

2015-04-25T08:30:52+00:00

Using a colon or a space in a make target doesn't work, so they have to be filtered out of the PKG_VERSION variable just like the / currently already is. This will be needed for date-based CVS versions. Add a helper macro 'sanitize' in pkg-utils.mk to implement this. This also moves the strip to the inner level for the target branch.

pkg-utils: update comments after renaming of package infra macros

2015-04-13T20:25:45+00:00

The package infrastructure macros have a long time ago been renamed from GENTARGETS, AUTOTARGETS to generic-package and autotools-package. However, one comment in pkg-utils.mk keeps a reference to these *TARGETS macros. This commit updates this comment to match the new name of these macros.

pkg-utils: describe the case conversion macros in more detail.

2014-10-16T17:04:18+00:00

After the refactoring of the case conversion macros in dd5e620ac, the macro became even harder to understand. Improve this explanation a little so future generations can make sense of what we're doing here. Signed-off-by: Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind) Cc: Thomas De Schampheleire Reviewed-by: "Yann E.
