Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com> a ?crit :
> Here is a set of improvements to the package infrastructure. Here is a
> quick summary of the improvements :
>
> * Add a feature to override the source directory for packages. I had
> already posted RFC patches of this feature in the past, and
> additional improvements have been made. I think the feature is
> ready for wider testing, and if enough people can test and ack this
> feature, it'd be great to have it merged for 2011.08. See the
> commit logs of patches 2 and 3 for details.
>
> * Add <pkg>-rebuild and <pkg>-reconfigure targets, for each package.
>
> * Implement a "local" site method, which allows a package to specify
> a local directory for its source code, instead of having Buildroot
> download the tarball from the Web. This can be useful for packages
> that are always local (while the override feature of the first
> point is useful for packages that are normally grabbed from a
> remote location, but that for some reason should be taken from a
> local directory).
>
> * Implement a "file" site method, which allows a package to specify a
> local tarball for its source code.
>
> * Remove the "directory" and "package name" arguments from
> GENTARGETS, AUTOTARGETS and CMAKETARGETS. Those informations are
> now automatically infered from the name of the makefile that
> contains the package recipe (package/multimedia/foobar/foobar.mk ->
> the directory is "package/multimedia" and the package name is
> "foobar"). As those patches touch basically all packages, they may
> not appear on the list due to their size.
I forgot one point: all those changes obviously require a documentation
update. I will work on it if there is an agreement to merge those
changes.
