  Don't copy the incorrect coding style :-) Use = instead of := and put 
spaces around it.

  This line could really use some splitting... But maybe that's not the 
responsibility of this patch.

[Buildroot] [PATCH] getty: add the ability to pass options to getty

[Assaf Inbal]

Hey,

 Don't copy the incorrect coding style :-) Use = instead of := and put
> spaces around it.


Just out of curiosity, why would you rather I use =? Is it because that
macro won't always be evaluated, or is there something else I'm missing?

BTW - Would you like me to submit an updated patch?

Good day,
Assaf

Technically, in this case, both := and = are fine, and both produce
the same result because the right-hand side is fixed and does not
reference any other make variable.
The more unusual := is thus not really needed, and therefore it has
become buildroot policy to use the simple = in all cases, with spaces
as delimiter. This is also visually the most attractive.

Yes please. Review the comments provided and send an updated patch
marked as 'PATCH v2'.

Sadly, it seems that my git-send-email-foo isn't that good since it didn't
attach my new patches to this thread.
In any case, I sent out two patches, one for cleaning up getty a bit as
discussed, and the other for adding the original command line options that
started this thread.

Good day,
Assaf

I would remove the 'random': options you pass here are not random but
probably well-chosen.

There are now a number of getty-related config options in
system/Config.in, but without any structure.
When the getty port is empty, no action is taken.
What about introducing a new bool option to determine if a getty needs
to be started, with suboptions for port, baudrate, term, and
user-configurable options?
Something like:

config BR2_TARGET_GENERIC_GETTY
        bool "Run a getty (login prompt) after boot"

config BR2_TARGET_GENERIC_GETTY_PORT
        bool "tty port"
        depends on BR2_TARGET_GENERIC_GETTY

choice
        prompt "baudrate"
        depends on BR2_TARGET_GENERIC_GETTY

[baudrate options]
endchoice

config BR2_TARGET_GENERIC_GETTY_TERM
        bool "TERM environment variable"
        depends on BR2_TARGET_GENERIC_GETTY

config BR2_TARGET_GENERIC_GETTY_OPTIONS
        string "other options to pass to getty"
        depends on BR2_TARGET_GENERIC_GETTY


This creates some structure, and hides all non-relevant options when
the user does not want a getty.
In this case, system/system.mk will need a few adaptations to check
the new symbol instead of for the emptiness of _PORT.

Best regards,
Thomas

  Sounds like a good plan. Except that the sub-options should be wrapped 
in a if...endif construct instead of repeating 'depends on'.
