* docs/manual: fix documentation about BR2_EXTERNAL_<name>_PATH variableJerry Evans2016-11-201-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The BR2_EXTERNAL documentation improperly tells to use the BR2_EXTERNAL_<name>_DIR variable to reference the location of the BR2_EXTERNAL directory. But in fact the variable is named BR2_EXTERNAL_<name>_PATH. In addition, some closing double quotes were missing. This commit fixes both of those issues.

* docs/manual: document both user-facing br2-external variablesYann E. MORIN2016-10-191-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While BR2_EXTERNAL_<NAME>_PATH was already documented, it was not made obvious that it could be reused in post-biuld, post-image and in-fakeroot scripts. The BR2_EXTERNAL_<NAME>_DESC variable was not documented at all. Update the manual to fix this. Note: a2x chokes on this: .Note: Both +BR2_EXTERNAL_$(NAME)_PATH+ and +BR2_EXTERNAL_$(NAME)_DESC+ are available [...] and spits out a totally useless error message: a2x: ERROR: "xsltproc" --stringparam toc.section.depth 1 --stringparam callout.graphics 0 --stringparam navig.graphics 0 --stringparam admon.textlabel 1 --stringparam admon.graphic 0 --stringparam chunk.section.depth 0 --output "/home/ymorin/dev/buildroot/O/docs/manual/manual.html" "/etc/asciidoc/docbook-xsl/xhtml.xsl" "/home/ymorin/dev/buildroot/O/docs/manual/manual.xml" returned non-zero exit status 6 So, we had to resort to using different quoting styles for each variables. They are not semantically equivalent, but the rendering is the same with the default CSS (which we are using). That's gonna be good-enough for now...

* core: allow a br2-external tree to override a defconfigYann E. MORIN2016-10-161-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We currently have four lists of packages in the manual: - the non-virtual target packages, - the virtual target packages, - the host packages, - the deprecated features. Those list take more than half of the manual. They do not serve much purpose except to show off. After the recent discussion on the list [0], remove them all. We can now get rid of our biggish and complex generating script (and its companion library kconfiglib).

For our own manual, this will come in handy when we introduce a generated kconfig snippet, so we can actually make the manual depend on that snippet being generated first. For external documents, it can be used to depend on host-packages if need be (e.g. a custom host packages that generates specific media files included in the manual). Signed-off-by: "Yann E.
