[Buildroot] [PATCH 0/3] core/pkg-infra: allow packages to provide permisions in a file

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

Hello All!

This series allows packages to provide a permission table in a file
rather than in-line in the .mk fiile.

That permission file can be generated. It is usefull for the SELinux
stuff and busybox, where individual applets should have a suid bit, but
we only know what applets exist at configure time, not when parsing the
.mk file.

The last patch is *not* to be applied; it serves just as an example of
how the new permisions file can be generated.


Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
