[Buildroot] [PATCH 0/4] pkg-infra: differentiate remote and local tarball filenames (branch yem/download)

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

Hello All!

This series introduces a new variable, FOO_UPSTREAM_SOURCE, so as to be
able to differentiate remote and local tarball filenames.

This is needed when upstream tarballs are not named the way we expect them
to be. For example, the GitHub API only provides a request like:
    GET /repos/:owner/:repo/:archive_format/:ref

So far, we're not using this API, and directly use a non-stable scheme
to retrieve the tarballs. That scheme has proven to break from time to
time, so we'll soon need to switch to the API, which is guaranteed to be
stable.

So, we need to be able to differentiate the filename remote knows the
tarball by, and the local filename we want to save that tarball as.

Changes to the GitHub helper will come in a later series, because it is
a bit more involved, and still needs some ironing out. Alternate forges
may also get added in the future, which would require such a feature.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
