MORINyann.morin.1998@free.fr2016-10-14T14:39:22+00:00urn:sha1:339e1c9500cd1057118576c51be4953c23bc7a40
Currently, it is not possible for a br2-external tree to override a
defconfig bundled in Buildroot, nor is it possible to override one from
a previous br2-external tree in the stack.
However, it is interesting that a latter br2-external tree be able to
override a defconfig:
- the ones bundled in Buildroot are minimalist, and almost always
build a toolchain, so a br2-external tree may want to provide a
"better" defconfig (better, in the sense "suited for the project");
- similarly for a defconfig from a previous br2-external tree.
But we can't do that, as the rules for the defconfigs are generated in
the order the br2-external trees are specified, all after the bundled
defconfigs. Those rule are patten-matching rules, which means that the
first one to match is used, and the following ones are ignored.
Add a new utility macro, 'reverse', inspired from GMSL, that does what
it says: reverse a list of words.
Use that macro to reverse the list of br2-external trees, so that the
latters win over the formers, and even over bundled ones.

core: move pkg-utils.mk to support/2016-08-27T14:03:35+00:00Yann E. MORINyann.morin.1998@free.fr2016-07-17T10:34:21+00:00urn:sha1:242e0087e544325cc11bd37f1125aa8b2516d8a2
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.
