[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] sdbus-cpp: new package

[Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@bootlin.com>]

Hello Sergey,

Thanks for this contribution. First just to make sure: this is really a
different library than package/sdbusplus/ that we already have in
Buildroot ?

The commit title should be:

	package/sdbus-cpp: new package

It's only the host package that needs host-expat. Selecting
BR2_PACKAGE_EXPAT means "I need the target expat", which is not the
case here.

No, your package as it is written today will not build the host side.

These are auto-generated archives. In this case, please use our $(call
github,...) macro instead.

I know LGPL-2.1-or-later is the correct SPDX encoding, but we use
LGPL-2.1+ in Buildroot, for historical reasons.

Could you rework your patch and send an updated version?

Thanks!
