MORIN Date: Fri, 27 Dec 2013 14:14:09 +0100 Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH] package: deprecate some more development tools In-Reply-To: <1388145020-2082-1-git-send-email-thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com> References: <1388145020-2082-1-git-send-email-thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com> Message-ID: <20131227131409.GA4122@free.fr> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: buildroot@busybox.net Thomas, All, On 2013-12-27 12:50 +0100, Thomas Petazzoni spake thusly: > Since some time, we have removed the support to build a toolchain for > the target, and therefore the support for several development tools on > the target. > > This commit deprecates a few additional development tools: m4, bison, > flex and gob2. For flex, we retain the ability to build libfl, we only > deprecated the ability to build the flex binary itself. > > The original motivation for this patch is that m4 is causing build > issues in some configurations, but there isn't really much incentive > to fix this package for the target, since it is not really useful for > embedded Linux systems. > > Bison, Flex and Gob2 are deprecated because they are reverse > dependencies of m4. > > Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni Acked-by: "Yann E.
