[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] uboot-tools: add missing dependency on host-dtc for the host package

[Carlos Santos]

The mkimage utility needs dtc when the input is in Flat Image Trees (FIT)
format. If dtc is not available mkimage fails. Example:

    $ mkimage -f firmware.its firmware.im
    sh: dtc: command not found

I am not sure I like the idea of having host-uboot-tools always depend
on host-dtc, as it adds build time while host-dtc is only needed for
some specific use cases of mkimage (generating FIT images).

There are really three options I believe:

 (1) What you did, i.e have host-dtc as an unconditional dependency of
     host-uboot-tools. Everybody pays the price of building host-dtc
     even if it's not needed.

 (2) Add a sub-option to host-uboot-tools so that people can say "I
     need it with FIT image support", which will add host-dtc as a
     dependency.

 (3) Just do nothing, and let our users be smart enough to realize that
     when mkimage complains that dtc is missing, they should enable
     host-dtc.

Agreed, it's quite similar to the issues with genimage and
dosfstools. Either option 2 or 3 sounds good to me.

I'm always a bit uneasy speaking about genimage, as I don't use it.

However, I would contend that we should try to provide as much a "works
out of the box" experience as possible, so I'd lean on the side of
always enable optional packages to make genimage always happy.

But then, genimage being so versatile, it would be perfectly possible to
ask it to build all sorts of filesystems, or aggregate all sorts of
blobs (e.g. DTB), and so on. Should we forcibly enable all those tools
when genimage is enabled?

I guess not.

Granted, most of the boards we currently have use a VFAT partition
(except those from boundary devices, the wandboard and the
a20_olinuxino, i.e. 4 boards).

So, I'm completely undecided for genimage.

On the one side, there the "out of the box" experience; on the other
side, there's the build time...

But dosfstools has no dependency, and it does build quite fast, so we
could at least enable that one...

> Either option 2 or 3 sounds good to me.

Hmm... See my other reply for why I think option #1 is better. ;-)

Yann E. MORIN.

The extra time needed to build host-dtc is negligible. This is what I get when I build it on my Core i5 notebook, including download time:

	$ time make host-dtc-dirclean host-dtc
	[...]
	real	0m8.387s
	user	0m7.552s
	sys	0m2.231s

It builds in a few seconds and does not have any impact on the size or performance of the target system, since it is a host tool.

The user would spend more time choosing the extra option than downloading and building host-dtc.

The poor user would waste even more time attempting to find what broke the build.

This is just the time for host-dtc. But host-dtc depends on host-bison
and host-flex, which in turn bring host-m4. In total, on my machine,
the time to build host-dtc from a clean build is almost one minute.

Not a big amount of time. But FIT images are not that common, and one
key aspect of Buildroot is its build time, which we try to keep low by
making sure we don't rebuild the whole world needlessly.

You forgot that dtc (and thus host-dtc) depends on host-bison and
host-flex, and host-bison pulls in host-m4. So you'd have to account for
the build time of those, too (but of course, only in case they were not
otherwise needed).

Right, I'm not too fond of proposal #3 either.

I thought we were striving to "make it work out of the box" as much as
possible, goal that option #3 completely defeats.

Option #2 is not much better however, since it would probably not be
easy to match the build failure to that option...

Option #1 will make it just work in every cases, at the expense of a bit
longer build time (mostly because of dependencies of host-dtc).

However, given how pervasive DTC is becoming, I think it would kinda
make sense to have a mkimage that supports DT every time (I hope that
adding DT support to mkimage does not remove functionality, does it?)

So my vote would be with option #1.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.

Read again in which cases mkimage needs host-dtc. It is *NOT* related
to Device Tree at all. It is related to the FIT image format, which
happens to rely on the Device Tree syntax and compiler, but has
*nothing* to do with the Device Tree being used by the kernel to get a
description of the HW.

Oh, OK.

/me unconsciously associated dtc with generating DTB. But if it can be
used for other things as well...

Then option 2 is the best solution IMHO.

Thanks for this new version. Unfortunately, this patch is incorrect, as
it badly mixes things for the target version of uboot-tools with things
for the host version of uboot-tools.

> -if BR2_PACKAGE_UBOOT_TOOLS_MKIMAGE

Please keep this "if BR2_PACKAGE_UBOOT_TOOLS_MKIMAGE" rather than using
a depends on.

> +config BR2_PACKAGE_UBOOT_TOOLS_MKIMAGE_FIT_SUPPORT

This option affects the *target* version of uboot-tools.

So selecting host-dtc here doesn't make any sense (unless you need
host-dtc to *build* uboot-tools for the target, but my understand is
that what you need is dtc on the target!).

So this has not changed since v1, and was specifically the problem that
we discussed.

Option BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_UBOOT_TOOLS_FIT_SUPPORT does not exist, so this
piece of code is useless.

And here you're using a target option
(BR2_PACKAGE_UBOOT_TOOLS_MKIMAGE_FIT_SUPPORT) to configure the build of
the host version of uboot-tools.

Note that there is already something wrong in the package:

define HOST_UBOOT_TOOLS_BUILD_CMDS
        $(MAKE1) -C $(@D)                       \
                CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE=$(BR2_PACKAGE_UBOOT_TOOLS_MKIMAGE_FIT_SIGNATURE_SUPPORT) \

should be:

define HOST_UBOOT_TOOLS_BUILD_CMDS
        $(MAKE1) -C $(@D)                       \
                CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE=$(BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_UBOOT_TOOLS_MKIMAGE_FIT_SIGNATURE_SUPPORT) \

What you want to do is:

 *) One patch that fixes the existing bug in uboot-tools.mk that I
    mentioned.

 *) One patch that adds an option
    BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_UBOOT_TOOLS_FIT_SUPPORT, which will 1/ add host-dtc
    to HOST_UBOOT_TOOLS_DEPENDENCIES and 2/ pass
    CONFIG_FIT=$(BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_UBOOT_TOOLS_FIT_SUPPORT) in
    HOST_UBOOT_TOOLS_BUILD_CMDS. This will solve the problem for the
    host version of uboot-tools.

 *) One patch that adds an option BR2_PACKAGE_UBOOT_TOOLS_FIT_SUPPORT,
    which will 1/ add dtc to UBOOT_TOOLS_DEPENDENCIES and 2/ pass
    CONFIG_FIT=$(BR2_PACKAGE_UBOOT_TOOLS_FIT_SUPPORT)  in
    UBOOT_TOOLS_BUILD_CMDS. This will solve the problem for the target
    version of uboot-tools.

Thanks!

Thanks for the review. After analyzing the package deeply I noticed that it has additional problems and that U-Boot needs an additional patch to allow turning FIT support on/off. I will send a new patch to solve these problems.

[Buildroot] [PATCH v3] uboot-tools: fix FIT support and make it optional

[Carlos Santos]

Fix several issues regarding the support for Flat Image Trees (FIT).

- Add a dependence on the dtc utilities because mkimage needs it when
  FIT is enabled; otherwise mkimage fails like this:

    $ mkimage -f firmware.its firmware.im
    sh: dtc: command not found

- Turn FIT support an independent switch for host and target controlled
  by BR2_PACKAGE_{HOST_,}UBOOT_TOOLS_FIT_SUPPORT

- Dettach FIT signature support from mkimage installation by means of a
  BR2_PACKAGE_{HOST_,}UBOOT_TOOLS_FIT_SIGNATURE_SUPPORT, subordinated to
  ...TOOLS_FIT_SUPPORT.

- Improve the descriptions of the knobs to install mkimage, mkenvimage,
  dumpimage, fw_printenv and fw_setenv.

- Use $(TARGET_STRIP) to control stripping of the target utilities,
  otherwise they are always stripped.

- Add a patch to really allow turning FIT support on/off, which was not
  possible due to bugs in the code and in the tools Makefile.

Changes v2 -> v3:

Turns out that the state of uboot-tools was even worst than initially
thought. Due to some mistakes in the source code, it was not possible
to really turn FIT support off. This required an additional patch that
fixes the code and the tools Makefile. This patch was already sent
upstream.

Moreover the package had many errors that needed to be fixed, as
described above.

Changes v1 -> v2:

First attempt to allow turning FIT support on/off.

[Buildroot] [PATCH v3] uboot-tools: fix FIT support and make it optional

[Carlos Santos]

Fix several issues regarding the support for Flat Image Trees (FIT).

- Add a dependence on the dtc utilities because mkimage needs it when
  FIT is enabled; otherwise mkimage fails like this:

    $ mkimage -f firmware.its firmware.im
    sh: dtc: command not found

- Turn FIT support an independent switch for host and target controlled
  by BR2_PACKAGE_{HOST_,}UBOOT_TOOLS_FIT_SUPPORT

- Dettach FIT signature support from mkimage installation by means of a
  BR2_PACKAGE_{HOST_,}UBOOT_TOOLS_FIT_SIGNATURE_SUPPORT, subordinated to
  ...TOOLS_FIT_SUPPORT.

- Improve the descriptions of the knobs to install mkimage, mkenvimage,
  dumpimage, fw_printenv and fw_setenv.

- Use $(TARGET_STRIP) to control stripping of the target utilities,
  otherwise they are always stripped.

- Add a patch to really allow turning FIT support on/off, which was not
  possible due to bugs in the code and in the tools Makefile.

thought. Due to some mistakes in the source code, it was not possible
to really turn FIT support off. This required an additional patch that
fixes the code and the tools Makefile. This patch was already sent
upstream.

Moreover the package had many errors that needed to be fixed, as
described above.

Changes v1 -> v2:

First attempt to allow turning FIT support on/off.

+Subject: [PATCH 4/4] Make FIT support really optional
+
+Due to some mistakes in the source code, it was not possible to really
+turn FIT support off. This commit fixes the problem by means of the
+following changes:
+
+- Enclose "bootm_host_load_image" and "bootm_host_load_images" between
+  checks for CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE, in common/bootm.c.
+
+- Enclose the declaration of "bootm_host_load_images" between checks for
+  CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE, in common/bootm.h.
+
+- Condition the compilation and linking of fit_common.o fit_image.o
+  image-host.o common/image-fit.o to CONFIG_FIT=y, in tools/Makefile.

[Buildroot] [PATCH v3] uboot-tools: fix FIT support and make it optional

I was about to apply this, but spotted a few minor issues. In addition,
another concern is that this patch is doing many different things.
Those things are related, but could be done in separate patches:

 1/ Pass TARGET_STRIP should be one patch

 2/ Improving the help text of existing options should be one patch

 3/ Improving FIT support for the host variant

 4/ Improving FIT support for the target variant

Please generate the patch with "git format-patch -N" so that there is
no "4/4" in the patch title.

Has this patch been submitted upstream?

So essentially, this option gets renamed from
BR2_PACKAGE_UBOOT_TOOLS_MKIMAGE_FIT_SIGNATURE_SUPPORT to
BR2_PACKAGE_UBOOT_TOOLS_FIT_SIGNATURE_SUPPORT. You therefore need to
add BR2_PACKAGE_UBOOT_TOOLS_MKIMAGE_FIT_SIGNATURE_SUPPORT to the
Config.in.legacy file.

It's not clear why this option is moved around. Any reason for this?

I think we should instead have a UBOOT_TOOLS_MAKE_OPTS, and replace
this with:

	UBOOT_TOOLS_MAKE_OPTS += CONFIG_FIT=y

And here:

		$(UBOOT_TOOLS_MAKE_OPTS)

and you can probably move into UBOOT_TOOLS_MAKE_OPTS a few other
variables.

[Buildroot] [PATCH v3] uboot-tools: fix FIT support and make it optional

OK. I noticed that I would need to rebase the changes, anyway, because uboot-tools was upgraded to use version 2016.05.

> 3/ Improving FIT support for the host variant
> 
> 4/ Improving FIT support for the target variant

Tasks 3 and 4 can not be separated because both depend on the new patch that makes FIT support really optional.

Probably because I pasted the block at the wrong place when was editting the file. I will move it to the original position.

OK, I will make these changes. I'd like to emphasize, however, that currently uboot-tools is broken. FIT support is always compiled, so run-time dependence on "dtc" persists but dtc is not selected in Config.in{.host,}. This is the problem that my initial patch intended to fix.

Of course they can be separated. Just include the patch that makes FIT
support really optional into patch (3) from my list.

Sure, that's why I reviewed your patch, and suggested a few
improvements that should be made to allow us to apply the patch. Once
the improvements are made, I believe we should be able to apply it
pretty quickly.

Thanks!

Step 3 would make the ...MKIMAGE_FIT_SIGNATURE_SUPPORT option useless. Once the patch is applied, FIT support depends on passing CONFIG_FIT=y in the make command line, which would be made done only in step 4.

Gaah, right, you're correct. Fair enough. Please split into separate
patches what can be separated, and keep (3) and (4) in a single patch.

[Buildroot] [PATCH next 0/4] uboot-tools: fix support for Flat Image Trees (FIT).

[Carlos Santos]

The current package is partially broken due to a bug in Das U-Boot. FIT
support is always built but requires the "dtc" utility, which is not
available because uboot-tools does not depend on it. Additionally, the
BR2_STRIP_xxxx setup is ignored and the utilities are always stripped.

This series fixes the bugs and introduces a more fine-grained selection
of features for both host and target packages,

Carlos Santos (4):
  uboot-tools: use $(TARGET_STRIP) for target utilities
  uboot-tools: improve the help text of existing options
  uboot-tools: re-generate patches to match v2016.05
  uboot-tools: fix FIT support and make it optional

[Buildroot] [PATCH next 4/4] uboot-tools: fix FIT support and make it optional

[Carlos Santos]

Fix several issues regarding the support for Flat Image Trees (FIT).

- Add a patch to really allow turning FIT support on/off, which was not
  possible due to bugs in the code and in the tools Makefile. This patch
  has been sent upstream but not applied there, yet.

- Use independent options to control FIT support on host and target
  packages.

- Subordinate FIT signature support to the activation of FIT support, in
  the target package, not to mkimage installation.

- Add a dependence on the dtc utilities because mkimage needs it when
  FIT is enabled; otherwise mkimage fails like this:

    $ mkimage -f firmware.its firmware.im
    sh: dtc: command not found

- Add BR2_PACKAGE_UBOOT_TOOLS_MKIMAGE_FIT_SIGNATURE_SUPPORT to the
  Config.in.legacy file.

I did not review the entire patch, but those last two lines look
incorrect. The purpose of the
BR2_PACKAGE_UBOOT_TOOLS_MKIMAGE_FIT_SIGNATURE_SUPPORT option was to
enable support for FIT signature in the *target* variant of
uboot-tools. Hence, I don't see why you are selecting host-dtc and FIT
support in the host variant of uboot-tools.

It would be good to mention the upstream status of this patch. At least
so that I remember instead of asking you again and again if it has been
sent upstream :-)

I'll do a full review later on. Thanks!

[Buildroot] [PATCH v4] uboot-tools: fix FIT support and make it optional

[Carlos Santos]

Fix several issues regarding the support for Flat Image Trees (FIT).

- Add a patch to really allow turning FIT support on/off, which was not
  possible due to bugs in the code and in the tools Makefile. This patch
  has been sent upstream but not applied there, yet.

- Use independent options to control FIT support on host and target
  packages.

- Subordinate FIT signature support to the activation of FIT support, in
  the target package, not to mkimage installation.

- Add a dependence on the dtc utilities because mkimage needs it when
  FIT is enabled; otherwise mkimage fails like this:

    $ mkimage -f firmware.its firmware.im
    sh: dtc: command not found

- Add BR2_PACKAGE_UBOOT_TOOLS_MKIMAGE_FIT_SIGNATURE_SUPPORT to the
  Config.in.legacy file.

Changes v3 -> v4:

Fix Config.in.legacy.

The purpose of the BR2_PACKAGE_UBOOT_TOOLS_MKIMAGE_FIT_SIGNATURE_SUPPORT option
was to enable support for FIT signature in the *target* variant of uboot-tools.
There is no reason to select host-dtc and FIT support in the host variant.

Changes v2 -> v3:

Turns out that the state of uboot-tools was even worst than initially
thought. Due to some mistakes in the source code, it was not possible
to really turn FIT support off. This required an additional patch that
fixes the code and the tools Makefile. This patch was already sent
upstream.

Moreover the package had many errors that needed to be fixed, as
described above.

Changes v1 -> v2:

First attempt to allow turning FIT support on/off.

[Buildroot] [PATCH v5] util-linux: rework utilities menu for finer control

[Carlos Santos]

When even a single extra util-linux utility is enabled, the
default build and install will install many more programs,
including many that overlap with those offered by busybox.

Fix by reworking the install-utilies menu to take advantage
of the new --disable-all-programs config option.  This option
make it possible to disable the basic set of apps, and then
enable only the desired apps.

---

Changes v1 -> v2:
  - Rework to incorporate ideas and suggestions from Thomas Petazzoni
    and Arnout Vandecappelle.  At least, in spirit.

Changes v2 -> v3:
  - Change BR2_PACKAGE_UTIL_LINUX_SELECTED_BINARIES to
    BR2_PACKAGE_UTIL_LINUX_BINARIES, to conserve backwards-
    compatibility without need for a legacy option.
  - Enable 'Basic set' by default to match output of previous
    build when binaries were selected.

Changes v3 -> v4:
  - Rework to apply on top of master branch

Changes v4 -> v5:
  - Add option to control installation of libfdisk.
  - Fine-grained selection of libraries in custom selection of
    utilities.
  - Document that linux32, linux64, uname26, i386 and x86_64 are
    setarch aliases.
  - Add options to instal cal, ipcrm, ipcs, logger, lslogin and pg.
  - Remove options to install findfs and lsblk because there are no
    corresponding --enable- and --disable- configure options.

Lowercase options correspond to package/utility/library names. I will change the other options to match this criterion.

OK, I will fine-tune the declaration of these dependencies.

[Buildroot] [PATCH v6] util-linux: rework utilities menu for finer control

[Carlos Santos]

When even a single extra util-linux utility is enabled, the
default build and install will install many more programs,
including many that overlap with those offered by busybox.

Fix by reworking the install-utilies menu to take advantage
of the new --disable-all-programs config option.  This option
make it possible to disable the basic set of apps, and then
enable only the desired apps.

Changes v1 -> v2:
  - Rework to incorporate ideas and suggestions from Thomas Petazzoni
    and Arnout Vandecappelle.  At least, in spirit.

Changes v2 -> v3:
  - Change BR2_PACKAGE_UTIL_LINUX_SELECTED_BINARIES to
    BR2_PACKAGE_UTIL_LINUX_BINARIES, to conserve backwards-
    compatibility without need for a legacy option.
  - Enable 'Basic set' by default to match output of previous
    build when binaries were selected.

Changes v3 -> v4:
  - Rework to apply on top of master branch

Changes v4 -> v5:
  - Add option to control installation of libfdisk.
  - Fine-grained selection of libraries in custom selection of
    utilities.
  - Document that linux32, linux64, uname26, i386 and x86_64 are
    setarch aliases.
  - Add options to instal cal, ipcrm, ipcs, logger, lslogin and pg.
  - Remove options to install findfs and lsblk because there are no
    corresponding --enable- and --disable- configure options.

CHanges v5 -> v6:
  - Make 'bool "lib<foo>"' the first item in each block
  - Add several missing dependencies on BR2_USE_MMU, for fork()
  - Options corresponding to package/utility/library names in
    lowercase (do the same for "none", "all" and "custom")
  - Improve help for cramfs utilities and login utilities

[Buildroot] [PATCH v6] util-linux: rework utilities menu for finer control

[Yann E. MORIN]

Carlos, All,

On 2016-07-05 23:55 -0300, Carlos Santos spake thusly:
> When even a single extra util-linux utility is enabled, the
> default build and install will install many more programs,
> including many that overlap with those offered by busybox.
> 
> Fix by reworking the install-utilies menu to take advantage
> of the new --disable-all-programs config option.  This option
> make it possible to disable the basic set of apps, and then
> enable only the desired apps.

Thanks for respining this patch.

I know this is already version 6 of the patch, yet, there are still
issues with this patch. It lacked more reviews so far becasue it is too
big.

First, it is too big because it groups together at least three different
changes:

  - cleanups in the libraries and tools selections: this should be a
    patch on its own (but see more comments below);

  - addition of new libs and tools: this should be a second, separate
    patch too;

  - addition of the biggish choice: this should be done as a separate
    third patch, on its own. Furthemore, it should default to installign
    everything (or at least, as much as possible), otherwise the
    autobuilders would default to installing nothing, and thus we would
    never exercise this package at all.

Basically, the idea is that each patch is a separate, autonomous, atomic
and semantically-unique change. In your big patch, there are things that
are not controversial (fixing dependencies, adding new libs and tools),
whiel the choice is more prone to discussion.

Having the non-controversial changes as separate patches means those can
be applied (relatively) quickly, thus reducing the amount of maintenance
of the changes on your side.

While you are at it, move the depends before the selects:

    config BR2_PACKAGE_UTIL_LINUX_LIBBLKID
        bool "libblkid"
        depends on BR2_USE_MMU # fork()
        select BR2_PACKAGE_UTIL_LINUX_LIBUUID

This kind of fixups should be in the first patch.

>  	help

>

Here, you ar adding a new library: it should be part of the second
patch.

As said above, this choice would default to "none", which is not nice
for the user (if util-linux is selected, surely the user wants things
from it). It laso means the autobuilders (which can't randomise the
choices) would never really test util-linux.

So, it should default to "all". And I think the entries should be
re-orderd, like that:

    all
    none
    custom

>  if BR2_PACKAGE_UTIL_LINUX_BINARIES

Would it make sense to have this in the choice?

    basic set

Is this list supposed to change between version of util-linux?
I don't think we should assume it would not.

This will make it rather difficult to maintain that list when bumping to
a new version.

I would suggest that we do not mention that list at all (unless there is
a super-easy way to get it just by extracting the source of util-linux).

I've stopped reviewing here, becasue all the following changes are
partly due to each of the three changes your patch does.

Could you please split it on three, as explained above, and respin?

To be honest, I'm not sure if the biggish choice will eventually land,
but at least the fixups and the additions of new libs and tools will.

Thanks!

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.

I can make "basic set" the default but this will be different from the current default and potentally conflict with busybox. Remember that installing only the libraries is a valid option because other packages require them (bcache-tools, btrfs-progs, e2fsprogs, efl, eudev, systemd and xfsprogs select BR2_PACKAGE_UTIL_LINUX_LIBBLKID).

The problem is that both "all" and "custom" are supersets of "basic set". I will look for a better way to group them.

It is easy to obtain. Just choose the basic set, make run

    $ make util-linux-dirclean util-linux
    $ make util-linux-reinstall TARGET_DIR=/tmp/util-linux-target
    $ echo $(find /tmp/util-linux-target/{usr/,}{s,}bin -type f | sed -e 's:.*/::g'|sort)|sed 's/ /, /g'

Hmm... So it is not possible to install a custom list that does not
include the basic set?

> I will look for a better way to group them.

Well, in light of what you explained above, I'm indeed no longer so sure
what should be the default.

However, I would argue that we add new options to existing packages
every now and then, especially implicit options.

For example, consider an hypotetical package bar that has an optional
dependency on libfoo. We first package bar but not libnfoo, so we have
--disable-libfoo (e.g. because there is a bug or whatever) and we do a
release of Buidlroot with just bar. Now, months later, someone fixes
that bug (or bumps the pcakges or whatever) and adds this optional
implicit dependency of bar to libfoo and passes the correct
--enable-libfoo, then we do a new release of Buidlroot.

Someone with a configuration for the previous release will see a
different behaviour of bar, possibly with an extra size impact on the
rootfs, when updating to the next release.

Yes, we do change such things between releases. No, we do not guarantee
exact (feature-wise) reproducible builds between releases (not that we
could, even if we wanted).

All we try to guarantee is that we only "add", and not "remove",
features and behaviour. Yes, we _try_, which means sometimes we can't
(or fail to).

So, I for one would be rather fine if the default would change over to
"all" (as long as BUSYBOX_SHOW_OTHERS is enabled, of course).

Meh...

When I said "super-easy" I really meant it, like:

    sed -e -r '/^BASIC_SET = (.*)/!d; s//\1/' configure.ac

(or whatever, something really trivial)

[Buildroot] [PATCH v7 0/3] util-linux: cleanups, additions and reworked utilities menu

[Carlos Santos]

Original patch by Danomi Manchego <danomimanchego123@gmail.com>

Changes v1 -> v2:
  - Rework to incorporate ideas and suggestions from Thomas Petazzoni
    and Arnout Vandecappelle.  At least, in spirit.

Changes v2 -> v3:
  - Change BR2_PACKAGE_UTIL_LINUX_SELECTED_BINARIES to
    BR2_PACKAGE_UTIL_LINUX_BINARIES, to conserve backwards-
    compatibility without need for a legacy option.
  - Enable 'Basic set' by default to match output of previous
    build when binaries were selected.

Changes v3 -> v4:
  - Rework to apply on top of master branch

Changes v4 -> v5:
  - Add option to control installation of libfdisk.
  - Fine-grained selection of libraries in custom selection of
    utilities.
  - Document that linux32, linux64, uname26, i386 and x86_64 are
    setarch aliases.
  - Add options to instal cal, ipcrm, ipcs, logger, lslogin and pg.
  - Remove options to install findfs and lsblk because there are no
    corresponding --enable- and --disable- configure options.

CHanges v5 -> v6:
  - Make 'bool "lib<foo>"' the first item in each block
  - Add several missing dependencies on BR2_USE_MMU, for fork()
  - Options corresponding to package/utility/library names in
    lowercase (do the same for "none", "all" and "custom")
  - Improve help for cramfs utilities and login utilities

Changes v6 -> v7:
  - Split big patch into 3 patches, as suggested by Yann E. MORIN
  - Leave the default utilities choice as "none", which is controversial
    but is the less harmful (it can be changed in a future patch, if we
    change our minds, without breaking backwards compatibility)
  - Add a compatibility entry to Config.in.legacy that selects the basic
    set of utilities, as BR2_PACKAGE_UTIL_LINUX_BINARIES=y would do, so
    existing defconfigs will not fail

Carlos Santos (3):
  util-linux: clean up libraries and tools selections
  util-linux: expand selection of libraries and utilities
  util-linux: rework utilities menu for finer control

[Buildroot] [PATCH v7 1/3] util-linux: clean up libraries and tools selections

[Carlos Santos]

Fix several problems in the package recipe:

- Make 'bool "lib<foo>"' the first item in each block
- Move the depends before the selects
- Add missing dependencies on BR2_USE_MMU, for fork()
- Put option names corresponding to package/utility/library names in
  lowercase, others start with capital letter
- Improve help for cramfs utilities and login utilities

     - remove capitalization of prompts, for consistency
     - add missing dependencies on libsmartcols, and therefore !MMU]

[Buildroot] [PATCH v6] util-linux: rework utilities menu for finer control

[Carlos Santos]

When even a single extra util-linux utility is enabled, the
default build and install will install many more programs,
including many that overlap with those offered by busybox.

Fix by reworking the install-utilies menu to take advantage
of the new --disable-all-programs config option.  This option
make it possible to disable the basic set of apps, and then
enable only the desired apps.

Changes v1 -> v2:
  - Rework to incorporate ideas and suggestions from Thomas Petazzoni
    and Arnout Vandecappelle.  At least, in spirit.

Changes v2 -> v3:
  - Change BR2_PACKAGE_UTIL_LINUX_SELECTED_BINARIES to
    BR2_PACKAGE_UTIL_LINUX_BINARIES, to conserve backwards-
    compatibility without need for a legacy option.
  - Enable 'Basic set' by default to match output of previous
    build when binaries were selected.

Changes v3 -> v4:
  - Rework to apply on top of master branch

Changes v4 -> v5:
  - Add option to control installation of libfdisk.
  - Fine-grained selection of libraries in custom selection of
    utilities.
  - Document that linux32, linux64, uname26, i386 and x86_64 are
    setarch aliases.
  - Add options to instal cal, ipcrm, ipcs, logger, lslogin and pg.
  - Remove options to install findfs and lsblk because there are no
    corresponding --enable- and --disable- configure options.

CHanges v5 -> v6:
  - Make 'bool "lib<foo>"' the first item in each block
  - Add several missing dependencies on BR2_USE_MMU, for fork()
  - Options corresponding to package/utility/library names in
    lowercase (do the same for "none", "all" and "custom")
  - Improve help for cramfs utilities and login utilities

Applied to master, with the following changes:

    [Thomas: add missing dependency of the new lslogins option on
    libsmartcols, and therefore !MMU.]

Also, I added a patch that adjusts the way the license string is
formatted, to match with what we do in the rest of Buildroot.

[Buildroot] [PATCH v7 3/3] util-linux: rework utilities menu for finer control

[Carlos Santos]

When even a single extra util-linux utility is enabled, the
default build and install will install many more programs,
including many that overlap with those offered by busybox.

Fix by reworking the install-utilies menu to take advantage
of the new --disable-all-programs config option.  This option
make it possible to disable the basic set of apps, and then
enable only the desired apps.

Original patch by Danomi Manchego, visible at
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/494866/

We've applied your patch, but after doing some fairly significant
change. Namely, we have removed the choice...endchoice entirely. It is
indeed not necessary at all: simply make the per-tool options visible
even if the "basic set" option is disabled. It allows the same
flexibility, with less options, no legacy, etc.

Thanks!

Thanks, I've applied your patch, with some minor tweaks, see below.

Nesting the two conditions is not needed, since the Config.in options
already depend on each other. So I've "un-nested" the conditions.

These lines were a bit too long, so I've split them.

Thanks again!

I need a bit of time to review that one.
