[Buildroot] [PATCH 0/4 v2] tools: add a directory to contain usefull user-facing tools

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

Hello All!

Currently, we provide a few user-facing utilities, like get-developers,
in support/scripts/ . But this directory also contains internal scripts
that a user should not be directly concerned with. Besides, it is
two-level deep in the hierarchy, which is not really nice.

So, we introduce tools/ as a top-level directory, with the goal to store
and expose all user-facing utilities, while keeping our internal scripts
in support/scripts/ .

The first patch in the series introduces a new utility, brmake, a
wrapper around make that stores all the output to a log file and
displays only the >>> lines.

The second and subsequent patches each move a few user-facing utilities
out of support/scripts/ and into tools/ .

Changes v1 -> v2:
  - rename contrib -> tools  (Arnout)
  - move more scripts


Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
