[Buildroot] github download helper question

[Waldemar Brodkorb]

Hi Developers,                                                                  
                                                                                
for ARC C library testing I would like to use                                   
a special branch of                                                             
https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/gcc.                    
How I can do this with buildroot?                                               
I need the arc-4.8-tls branch to test the uClibc NPTL port                      
for ARC.                                                                        
                                                                                
The manual is empty:                                                            
http://nightly.buildroot.org/manual.html#download-infra                         
                                                                                
Unfortunately I do not understand the involved make                             
magic to download stuff from github.                                            
                                                                                
Thanks for any hints,

Just set the right sha1 as version, further details at [1].

As Samuel said, the version can be a sha1. But as stated in the manual,
it can also be a tag.

So, you write something like:

    FOO_VERSION = v1.2.3
    FOO_SITE = $(call github,<user>,<package>,$(FOO_VERSION))

And replace <user> and <package> with the approriate values.

For example, to use their gcc, you'd write something like this:

    GCC_VERSION = arc-2014.08-rc1
    GCC_SITE = $(call github,foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors,gcc,$(GCC_VERSION))

Yann E. MORIN.
