[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/2] apply-patches.sh: don't print anything when "-s" option is used

Fabio, All,

On 2014-07-09 13:46 +0200, Fabio Porcedda spake thusly:

OK, this patch does two things:
  - introduce the APPLY_PATCHES variable, to be used instead of
    duplicating support/scripts/apply-patches.sh everywhere,
  - add the -s option to apply-patches

So, it should be split in two.

I did not initially notice that appy-patches was not always made silent,
but that it was conditional to the user using 'make -s' in the first
place.

So, I would not oppose that patch. After all, if the user uses make -s,
and it is not really complicated to propagate that to our sub-tools,
that's pretty OK.

However, see below...

I would do:

    BR_SILENT = $(if $(findstring s,$(MAKEFLAGS)),YES)

    APPLY_PATCHES = support/scripts/apply-patches.sh $(if $(BR_SILENT),-s)

That way, we can re-use $(BR_SILENT) for other tools (I'm thinking of
graph-depends and our other custom tools in support/scripts/ .)
