* Revert "pkg-download: remove explicit PKG_VERSION from github helper"Yann E. MORIN2017-11-141-4/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 1e5a8916b2ab4c9c99548fa6fbd4855eee323881. The idea was that the version string can be derived because we know the package name. However, this patch does not account for the fact that $(pkgname) always points to the latest pacakge scanned, which in all other situation we're using it, is the current package, because it is used inside one ot he xxx-inner macros that are $(eval)ualed. So $(pkgname) is evaluated "early" and gets the expected value. However, the github value is not in one of those macros, so it gets evaluated "late", when doing the actual download. So, by that time, $(pkgname) will expand to the last package scanned, which is actuall the manual (without a br2-external tree). That would require that the _SITE variable be assigned with the := assignment operator. This is weird, because that would make it the only variable to require that, but only when using the github helper, which is even less obvious and would cause a lot of trouble... The obvious fixup would seem to be to use $(PKG) instead, because that already contains the upper-case package name that vcan be used as a prefix to variables. However, that does not work either, because we have a check that forbids a trsailing slash in _SITE, check that is done in pacakge/pkg-generic, inside the xxx-inner macro, during the $(eval) call. And at that time, PKG is not yet defined, because it is only defined for an actual recipe. So we can't seem to have a workable solution. So, just revert the patch. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

* pkg-download: remove explicit PKG_VERSION from github helperMarcin Nowakowski2017-09-241-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently it is always required to add package version as an argument to the github helper. Since the version is always defined as PKG_VERSION, drop this argument and generate it automatically inside the helper routine. The github helper function is extended to support both 2 and 3 argument variants (ie. either use the provided package version argument or automatically substitute with PKG_VERSION if not available), which can make the transition of the package files easier as well allows using the 3-argument variant outside of package definitions.

* core/legal-info: use hash file from version sub-dirYann E. MORIN2017-07-291-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we have multiple versions for a package, and the licensing terms depend on the version actually selected (e.g. like Qt5), storing the hashes for those license files in the .hash file is broken: the infra will ensure that all hashes for a file do match, which would not be the case here. We fix that by first looking for a hash file in the version sub-dir first, and if that does not exist, then we use the main hash file. Drop the useless intermediate variable 'ret'. Update the documentation accordingly. Reported-by: Joshua Henderson <joshua.henderson@microchip.com> Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

* package/linux-tools: change method for including linux-tool sub-makefilesMarkus Mayer2017-07-191-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make inclusion ordering of all linux-tool-*.mk sub-makefiles explicit instead of relying on alphabetical sort order. This is done by renaming the Linux tools sub-makefiles to the format linux-tool-*.mk.in. This causes the top-level Makefile to ignore the Linux tools sub-makefiles. Until now, the main Makefile included all linux-tool-*.mk files, as well as linux-tools.mk, and it relied on alphabetical sorting to include them in the proper order (linux-tool-*.mk before linux-tools.mk).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We had several remarks on the mailing list of users that were surprised that patches were not applied for packages whose SITE_METHOD is local. So document this. Note that for OVERRIDE_SRCDIR itself it is already documented: When Buildroot finds that for a given package, an <pkg>_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR has been defined, it will no longer attempt to download, extract and patch the package. Instead, it will directly use the source code available in in the specified directory.

* docs/manual: update details about hashesThomas Petazzoni2017-07-031-7/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit updates the manual about hashes, fixing a number of issues: - Adding the .hash file should no longer be optional: it *must* be added. Therefore the wording "You can add ..." is changed to "When possible, you must add ...". - We are now checking hashes for Git downloaded packages, so fix this as well, and indicate more clearly which download methods have hash checking. - We no longer want to have auto-generated patches be downloaded through <pkg>_PATCH because such patches are not stable over time, and their hash can change. For example, downloading patches from github.com should no longer be done. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard <peter@korsgaard.com>
