MORIN Date: Sun, 13 Dec 2015 19:35:18 +0100 Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH 0/13 v2] legal-info improvements and completeness (branch yem/legal-2) Message-ID: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: buildroot@busybox.net Hello All! This series brings improvements to the legal-info infrastructure, so that we provide the most complete and correct content in the output of legal-info. Currently, our legal-info ouput is missing two types of files that might be important to have: - patches - extra downloads The first 9 patches in the series take care of saving patches we apply to packages: So far, we've shuffled the patches under the rag, assumong the user would provide the Buildroot source tree with the compliance delivery, so that our bundled patches would automatically be included. However, that's not enough, as not all patches may be in the Buildroot source tree. That's the case for at least two types of patches: - patches that are downloaded, - patches from a global patch directory. In either case, those patches must be provided in the output of legal-info, because they are not part of Buildroot, so distributing Buidlroot would not be enough. Patches that are referenced from Buidlroot woudl probably be OK-ish, even if not to the letter of the compliance requirements. That's not much so the case for patches from a global patch dir, since those would be completely ignored and usually unreachable from a recipient of the complaince delivery. So we must save those two types of patches in the output of legal-info. Because it would be a bit silly to only save those patches, we just save all of them, whether bundled in buildroot, downloaded or from a global patch dir alike. Second, a single patch (#10) takes care of saving extra downloads: Second, some packages are using extra-downloads to complement the content of the main archive. That's the case for Perl, for which the cross-compilation "enabler" is downloaded as a secondary archive via extra downloads. The Blackfin external toolchains also use extra downloads to download a secondary archive with the sysroot. Even though the Blackfin sysroot archive is not really a source, we still need to provide it along with the main archive, otherwise it's completely impossible to compile code. As for the Perl case, however, we're "only" downloading a buildsystem infrastructure (AFAIU), but without it, it is completely impossible to cross-compile Perl at all. So, in both cases, we also need to save the extra downloads. We then have a patch (#11) that generates a sha256 hash of all the fines in the legal-info output. It's handy when delivering legal-info/ directly as-is so that the recipient can check the integrity of the files her received. Finally, the last two patches add the possibility to indicate that a package should be completely ignored from the legal-info output, not even be mentionned in the manifest. This is useful when the content of legal-info is used as-is to provide a compliance delivery. Changes v1 -> v2: - keep only the core legal-info patches, drop the gcc/binutils/gdb changes (they'll be reworked later, let's focus on the important and easier parts first) - drop the tristate REDISTRIBUTE, introduce another boolean _LEGAL_IGNORE (Thomas, Peter, Luca) - drop the post-legal-info Perl hook, it's no longer needed thanks to saving extra downloads (Thomas, Luca) - compute the rwaname-version tuple only once, instead of five times (Luca) - reorder patches (Luca) - slight commit log rephrasing and corrections (Luca) Regards, Yann E.
