[Buildroot] [PATCH v5 2/2] package/libssh2: Add selectable crypto libraries

[Yann E. MORIN <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>]

Sam, All,

On 2017-10-31 12:56 -0500, Sam Voss spake thusly:
> Add functionality to allow crypto libraries for libssh2 to be selectable
> by a choice instead of a fallback that may not work in all cases.
> Previous fallback is maintained from within the "defaults" of the choice
> menu, but can be overridden by making a choice.
> 
> This fixes issues where two crypto libraries are present on the system,
> but the fallback order picks the wrong one.

As seen on IRC, you have to explain a bit more why one would want to
select a specific backend rather than the "priority" choice we have now.

Ordering of options is type, depends, then select:

    config BR2_PACKAGE_LIBSSH2_MBEDTLS
        bool "mbedtls"
        select BR2_PACKAGE_MBEDTLS

> +config BR2_PACKAGE_LIBSSH2_LIBGCRYPT
> +	select BR2_PACKAGE_LIBGCRYPT
> +	depends on BR2_PACKAGE_LIBGPG_ERROR_ARCH_SUPPORTS # libgcrypt -> libgpg-error
> +	bool "gcrypt"

And here:

    config BR2_PACKAGE_LIBSSH2_LIBGCRYPT
        bool "gcrypt"
        depends on BR2_PACKAGE_LIBGPG_ERROR_ARCH_SUPPORTS # libgcrypt -> libgpg-error
        select BR2_PACKAGE_LIBGCRYPT

Yann E. MORIN.
