powerpc-utils: bump to v1.3.1, change upstream location and license

2016-03-30T14:38:01+00:00

This patch makes below changes to powerpc-utils package: - Update to latest upstream version (v1.3.1) - Update License (from CPL to GPLv2) - Update source link (from SF to github) - Disable librtas by default - Finally make necessary adjustment to compile the source (run autogen.sh before ./configure as we don't have configure in new tarball). RTAS: This package contains few tools (like nvram, ppc64_cpu, etc) which are not dependent on RTAS support. Traditionally we always had RTAS support (at least on IBM Power system). But now a days we do have environments like PowerNV host where we do not have RTAS support. Instead we use OPAL for runtime service [1]. Hence lets disable RTAS by default. If someone wants to build powerpc-utils with RTAS they can enable it.

powerpc-utils: optionally use librtas

2015-07-13T16:40:08+00:00

Now that librtas is available, optionally use it with powerpc-utils to enable it's RTAS dependant functionality. It is used by default, as most distros do, but made optional because it adds several new programs and significantly increases the size of the installed package.

powerpc-utils: security bump to 1.2.24

2015-03-20T13:04:14+00:00

Fixes CVE-2014-4040: A local attacker could obtain sensitive information from the generated archive such as plain text passwords. Yes, version 1.2.24 seems to be newer than 1.4, which is equivalent to 1.2.20. Also, switch from git clone to tarball download , and add a .hash file. The configure script seems to misdetect stack smashing protection support in the toolchain. gcc accepts -fstack_protector_all, but the linker complains: "ld: cannot find -lssp".

package/powerpc-utils: Add powerpc hardware utilities

2014-07-17T21:06:13+00:00

This change adds a package definition for the powerpc-utils project, containing a set of powerpc-specific hardware management utilities. We're using a git tag from upstream, which contains a few build-system fixes.
