core/br2-external: fix use of relative paths

2017-01-23T15:33:55+00:00

Fixes #9576 When the path to a br2-external tree is relative, make enters an endless recursive loop (paths elided for brevity): $ make BR2_EXTERNAL=.. foo_defconfig make[1]: stat: ../configs/../configs/../configs[...]/toto_defconfig: Filename too long make[1]: *** No rule to make target '../configs/../configs/../configs[...]/toto_defconfig', needed by '../configs/../configs/../configs[...]/toto_defconfig'. Stop. Makefile:79: recipe for target '_all' failed make: *** [_all] Error 2 It is a bit complex to understand the actual technical reason for this never-ending expansion; it seems it happens in the code generated by the percent_defconfig macro. Not sure why, though... But the root cause is the relative path. Just use absolute, canonical paths to br2-external trees. Always.

core/br2-external: restore compatibility with old distros

2016-11-23T22:31:20+00:00

Currently, the br2-external script uses bash-4's associative arrays. However, some oldish enterprise-class distros like RHEL5 still use bash-3.1 which lacks associative arrays. We restore compatibility with those oldish distros using 'eval' to emulate associative arrays, as suggested by Arnout. Reported-by: Ricardo Martincoski Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

core/graph-depends: add option to graph reverse dependencies

2016-10-25T20:59:05+00:00

Now that we can dump the reverse dependencies of a package, add the ability to graph those. It does not make sense to do a full reverse graph, as it would be semantically equivalent to the direct graph. So we only provide a per-package reverse graph. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

scripts/get-developers: correct type of patches argument

2016-10-25T10:43:27+00:00

Current type for 'patches' argument is str. It supposed to only contain names of files. If we specify FileType as type, then we don't need to open file ourself and it allows script to read patch from standard input as well. e.g. $ git show -1 | ./support/scripts/get-developers - Cc: Thomas Petazzoni Signed-off-by: Rahul Bedarkar Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

get-developers: use --cc instead of --to for developers

2016-10-19T21:38:16+00:00

Output of get-developers script in our manual uses --cc for developers, but actual output of get-developers script uses --to. This patch makes code consistent with documentation, by using --cc for developers. Signed-off-by: Rahul Bedarkar Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

core/br2-external: fix link to manual for converting old trees

core/br2-external: export paths and descriptions

2016-10-19T21:19:14+00:00

Now that we support multiple br2-external trees, BR2_EXTERNAL is no longer exported in the environment. This means that post-build scripts in a br2-external tree can no longer find their own files (well, they could re-invent the path by stripping their known-relative path, but that'd be ugly, especially since we can very well provide it). Export the path for each br2-external trees as environment variables. Do so for the description as well, as a courtesy. Also, re-order variable definitions to be more logical: first, purely internal variables, then exported variables. Reported-by: Benoît Allard Signed-off-by: "Yann E.
