Now that we can specify that the default values for the CPE_ID variables
are valid, without having to actually set one (or more) to their
default, add a check-package check that validates that the CPE_ID
variables are indeed not set to their default.
It also validates that CPE_ID_VALID is not set when another CPE_ID
variable is set to a non-default value.
Add an anchor in the manual so that we can easily point to it.

The way we handle CPE_ID variable is unusual compared to the other
variables: we mostly compute defaults for all of them, and eventually
aggregate the various CPE_ID variables to form the CPE ID name.
However, we do not consider that CPE ID to valid, unless there is one
(or more) CPE_ID variables actually set by the package; this shows that
the CPE ID has been checked to be valid against the NVD CPE database. In
that situation, we internally define the duly undocumented _CPE_ID_VALID
variable.
However, it is totally possible (and very often the case) that the
default value we set to those variables are appropriate, and do defne a
valid CPE ID. In this case, the package will define any arbitrary CPE_ID
variable to its default value, usually by setting either the VENDOR or
PRODUCT field, though there is no rule or requirement that be the case.
This is not very clean, non-obvious, and does not allow for easily
adding checks in check-package.
Add the _CPE_ID_VALID variable to the manual, to make it official that
it should be used when the default values of the others are valid.

With recent asiidoc versions (at least 10.2.0 is known to report that),
rendering the manual yields a few warnings related to ordered lists:

asciidoc: WARNING: customize-quick-guide.adoc: line 15: list item index: expected 3 got 1

asciidoc: WARNING: adding-packages-gettext.adoc: line 30: list item index: expected 2 got 1
asciidoc: WARNING: adding-packages-gettext.adoc: line 41: list item index: expected 3 got 1
The reason is that we use the same index to tell asciidoc to
automatically number items.
However, the official way to provide an automatic index is to write no
index:
https://docs.asciidoctor.org/asciidoc/latest/lists/ordered/
[...] since the numbering is obvious, the AsciiDoc processor will
insert the numbers for you if you omit them:
[...]
If you number the ordered list explicitly, you have to manually keep
the list numerals sequential. Otherwise, you will get a warning.
So, abide by the documentation, and drop the repeating indices to
ordered lists where we want automatic numbering.
Note that there is another ordered list, in adding-packages-directory.adoc,
but it does use explicit, sequential numbering. For consistency within
the whole document, we also convert it.
To avoid extra useless churn, the indentation of the items is not
changed to match the elided indices.

The section of the manual describing the makedev syntax is not
up-to-date with the current features, and does not properly describe
existing ones.
- extend the list of types with the requirements on the existence of
the target file or directory; for 'c', 'b', and 'p', the existence
requirement is inherited from mknod(2):
ERRORS
...
ENOENT A directory component in pathname does not exist or is a
dangling symbolic link.
for the other types, the existence requirements are extracted from
the source of makedev.c;
- format the types flags, so they are rendered in monospace;
- extend the 'mode' description, as it can be set to -1 for 'f', 'd',
or 'r', so that only the uid and gid are set. This is most useful
for 'r', where setting the same mode recursively for all the
sub-directories and files alike does not really make sense; indeed
in this case, the modes are usually set correctly when the package
(or rootfs overlay) installs the files, and only the uid and gid are
interesting to set;
- extend and update the examples to show-case the -1 mode use-case.

Currently, we expect and only use hash files that lie within the package
directory, alongside the .mk file. Those hash files are thus bundled
with Buildroot.
This implies that only what's known to Buildroot can ever get into those
hash files. For packages where the version is fixed (or a static
choice), then we can carry hashes for those known versions.
However, we do have a few packages for which the version is a free-form
entry, where the user can provide a custom location and/or version. like
a custom VCS tree and revision, or a custom tarball URL. This means that
Buildroot has no way to be able to cary hashes for such custom versions.
This means that there is no integrity check that what was downloaded is
what was expected. For a sha1 in a git tree, this is a minor issue,
because the sha1 by itself is already a hash of the expected content.
But for custom tarballs URLs, or for a tag in a VCS, there is indeed no
integrity check.
Buildroot can't provide such hashes, but interested users may want to
provide those, and currently there is no (easy) way to do so.
We leverage the existing global-patch-dir mechanism to look for extra
hash files. We use the same heuristic that is used for bundled hash
files, and for each global patch directory <dir>, we use the first file
to exist among:
1. look into <dir>/<package>/<version>/<package>.hash
2. look into <dir>/<package>/<package>.hash

Commit 7dd27cbe5b (support/download: add support to exclude svn
externals) departed from the usual opt-in scheme, like is done for
git submodule or large files, in an attempt to keep the previous
behaviour unchanged, that is to download externals by default.
As an afterthought, we've concluded that the chances for svn-hosted
packages with externals that are indeed required to do the build,
are relatively slim. For those cases, it even makes sense to explicitly
requested the use of the externals.
So, we change the default to not download svn externals.
Since the generated archives may change, we bump the version suffix.
This will allow users to more easily catch the situation and decide if
they really need the externals or not.
We have a single in-tree package that uses svn, and it does not use
externals, so the generated archive does not change, and we just need
to update the archive filename in the hash file.
Finally, we add a new section to the manual, in the chapter about
migrating Buildroot to a newer version.

Like git which can have submodules, subversion can have externals. The
default behaviour for subversion is to retrieve all the externals,
unless told otherwise.
For some repositories, the externals may be huge (e.g. a dataset or some
assets) and may not be required for building the package. In such a
case, retrieving the externals is both a waste of network bandwitdh and
time, and a waste of disk storage.
Like for git submodules and git lfs, add an option that packages can set
to specify whether they want externals or not.
Since we've so far been retrieving externals, we keep that the default,
and packages can opt-out (rather than the opt-in for git submodules or
git lfs).
We must only set it when the package is actually hosted on svn, to avoid
passing -r when the package is not hosted by svn; otherwise, -r would
also be passed e.g. to a git-hosted package, triggering the download of
git submodules even when they are not requested. We need to do so,
because we have a default value, which we usually do not have in other
download options.

Cmake supports multiple generators. For now, Buildroot only uses the
venerable "GNU Makefile" generator, which generates Makefiles as the
build backend.
Cmake also has support for Ninja as a build backend, and provides the
corresponding generator. Ninja is a small build system with a focus on
speed. It is mainly used with the meson build system, but also cmake has
very good support for it.
Packages that are selecting Ninja (or over time another generator),
should also use the _BUILD_{ENV,OPTS} variables instead of the _MAKE
variables.
No _INSTALL{,_STAGING,_TARGET}_OPTS used so far, so reuse as cmake install opts:
$ grep '_INSTALL_OPTS' $(git grep -l -E '\$\(eval \$\((host-)?cmake-package))')
$ grep '_INSTALL_STAGING_OPTS' $(git grep -l -E '\$\(eval \$\((host-)?cmake-package))')
$ grep '_INSTALL_TARGET_OPTS' $(git grep -l -E '\$\(eval \$\((host-)?cmake-package))')
The _MAKE_{ENV,OPTS} are copied to _BUILD_{ENV,OPTS}, involved packages:
$ grep '_MAKE_ENV =' $(git grep -l -E '\$\(eval \$\((host-)?cmake-package))')
package/netopeer2/netopeer2.mk:NETOPEER2_MAKE_ENV = \
package/racehound/racehound.mk:RACEHOUND_MAKE_ENV = $(LINUX_MAKE_FLAGS)
(qt6, webkitgtk, and wpewebkit also match, but already use -Gninja)
$ grep '_MAKE_OPTS =' $(git grep -l -E '\$\(eval \$\((host-)?cmake-package))')
package/mariadb/mariadb.mk:HOST_MARIADB_MAKE_OPTS = import_executables
package/zeek/zeek.mk:HOST_ZEEK_MAKE_OPTS = binpac bifcl
Only "musepack" seems to overwrite MAKE to enforce -j1, so replace it:

For patches that are unique to BR and do not apply to the upstream

Additionally, allow per-format depth. For example, split-html has a

Commit "45aabcddc5 utils/get-developers: really make it callable from
elsewhere than the toplevel directory" had a unforeseen side-effect:
the fact that check-developers with no arguments used to validate the
syntax of the DEVELOPERS no longer works. Indeed, the
parse_developers() call was moved *after* the check that verifies if
at least one action is passed. Due to this, the check-DEVELOPERS
verification in Gitlab CI, which invokes get-developers without
argument to validate the DEVELOPERS file... no longer does anything
useful.
In order to fix this, we introduce an explicit action in
get-developers to request the validation of the DEVELOPERS file. The
implementation is trivial, as the validation is already done by
calling parse_developers(), but at least now we have an action that
does "nothing", except execute until the validation is done.
This is also much more explicit than "invoke get-developers without
arguments to just do validation".
The initial investigation of the issue was done by Ricardo Martincoski
<ricardo.martincoski@gmail.com> and reported at
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/buildroot/patch/20220528014832.289907-1-ricardo.martincoski@gmail.com/,
but we have chosen to introduce a separate -v option rather than
making the validation part of the existing -c action, which serves a
different purpose.

As explained by Alan Kao, new customers are now all using RISC-V,
and all known nds32 users are already on longterm stable kernels
provided by Andes, with no development work going into mainline
support any more.
There has also been little to no maintenance done in Buildroot for
