[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1 v1] new package: autofs

[Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com>]

Dear Jonathan Ben-Avraham,

The commit title for a new package should be:

	<package>: new package

It took me a bit of time to understand this. What you meant is that:
"The autofs package builds only with native RPC implementations and not
with TI-RPC, because it requires the nfs/nfs.h header which is
currently not provided by TI-RPC."

netowork -> network

if nfs-utils and rpcbind are only needed for network use, then maybe we
should not make them mandatory dependencies. People wanting to do NFS
will anyway need to enable those two packages.

This isn't really a great home page, but the project doesn't seem to
have any, so OK.

You need a Config.in comment here about the RPC dependency.

So you can't build with tirpc, but you add some special CFLAGS for it ?

This is commented, so unneeded ?

Other than that, looks good. Can you fix and resubmit ?

Thanks!
