[V2 PATCH 0/6] Don't have hwclock init scripts for machines without rtc

[V2 PATCH 0/6] Don't have hwclock init scripts for machines without rtc

[Andrei Gherzan]

V2:
Remove: 3f88694 subversion: Add gettext to DEPENDS as msgfmt is needed at compile time
Sent as (it should be) a different pull request.

I dropped the idea of maching Busybox HW dependent. A bad idea indeed.
Now, hwclock init script is packaged separately and pulled into image
only if MACHINE_FEATURES contains rtc value. The inclusion of rtc is 
done in a BACKFILL way.

The following changes since commit af847d36375aa53f0c1ee2a00c97ba9f38837d1b:

  bitbake: bitbake: build.py: Add stampdir argument to cached_mtime_noerror (2012-08-16 12:27:41 +0100)

[V2 PATCH 1/6] utils.py: Modify and rename distro_features_backfill python function

[Andrei Gherzan]

This function was written to be used with DISTRO_FEATURES. This behavior
is usefull with MACHINE_FEATURES as well.

[Andrei Gherzan]

This function was modified in order to be used with other
variables then DISTRO_FEATURES. Use this new function name and
add the parameter needed.

[V2 PATCH 4/6] bitbake.conf: Add rtc to MACHINE_FEATURES_BACKFILL

[Andrei Gherzan]

This was done this way so that the current machine configuration
would remain unaffected.
The rtc MACHINE_FEATURE will specify if a real time clock is avalaible.

[V2 PATCH 5/6] task-core-boot: Add busybox-hwclock if MACHINE_FEATURES contains rtc

[Andrei Gherzan]

For machines with no hardware clock it makes no sense to have this
init stript. Moreover, we avoid a boot error in this way.

Why did this get added to task-core-boot? This is meant only to contain items 
that are essential for booting; I'm not sure that support for the rtc 
qualifies.

Cheers,

busybox-hwclock contains the hwclock init script. Before this change that
script was included in busybox main package which was added to this task. I
didn't want to move this package as this change would have been a different
commit - to move stuff from stuff - and because i didn't want to break
anything around.
