SMACK stands for Simplified Mandatory Access Control Kernel. It is a Linux
Security Module which provides a Mandatory Access Control mechanism,
like SELinux, but aiming towards simplicity.
This package provides the tools to load/unload the policy from the
kernel as well as a library allowing applications to interact with
SMACK. The proper kernel options are also set.
[Thomas:
- fixed license to be LGPLv2.1 instead of LGPLv2.1+. Even though the
debian/copyright file has the "or later" indication, none of the .c
source files carry it, so I suppose LGPLv2.1 is more correct.
- added !BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB dependency.
- added dependency on host-pkgconf, since Smack configure.ac uses
PKG_CHECK_MODULES.]

There is no reason to always depend on host-lzop, even when the kernel
compression is not LZO.
Since LZO is not the default compression option in the kernel (and there
is not sign that will change in the foreseeable future), it will always
appear in a config file, whether it is a complete config file or it is
only a defconfig.
So, only depend on host-lzop if the LZO compression is enabled in the
kernel config file (either the defconfig or the custom config file).
This includes:
- kernel compression itself
- initrd compression
- initramfs compression

This patch bumps systemd to v207 but also declares it as a provider for the
udev virtual package.
Starting with systemd 183, udev has been merged into
systemd. The udev daemon is now installed as /lib/systemd/systemd-udevd.
This means that /dev management using udev is only available if systemd
is chosen as init system.
When configuring systemd, the following options are available:
- activation of systemd-journal-gatewayd, to access the journal via
HTTP.
- activation of extra features like journal compression and sealing.
Support for uClibc has also been removed because:
- upstream has no interest in supporting uClibc.
- using a shrinked libc brings no advantage, given the size of all the
programs included in Systemd. So using glibc does not matter.

This patch converts udev to a virtual package. For the moment, there is only
one provider for the udev features: eudev.
Packages meant to provide udev-like features must select the symbol
BR2_PACKAGE_HAS_UDEV.
Packages depending on BR2_ROOTFS_DEVICE_CREATION_DYNAMIC_UDEV or
BR2_PACKAGE_UDEV have been converted to use the new symbol.

eudev is a userspace device management daemon. It is a standalone
version, independent from systemd. It is a fork maintained by Gentoo.
Features:
- No extra configuration options are available: Gudev is build if
libglib2 is selected.
- No dependency on hwdata as the package uses its own hardware
database (as does systemd).
eudev 1.3 is in sync with systemd v207.

When mdev /dev management is chosen in the buildroot configuration, the
Linux configuration is updated automatically to set option
CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH to "/sbin/mdev". However, the help text of this
option explicitly recommends not setting this option due to large
performance impact during boot (experienced first hand by the reporter ánd
author).
The mdev startup script S10mdev already sets the helper during userspace
boot, which will make sure mdev is working correctly.

When one enables the generation of a cpio archive of the root
filesystem, the most likely usage is as an initramfs for the
kernel. This commit ensures that the kernel has initramfs support when
the rootfs cpio image format is chosen.
This will for example ensure that if the user selects the ISO9660
filesystem format (which uses a cpio initramfs), the kernel will have
proper support to load and use the initramfs.
It is worth mentionning that when BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_INITRAMFS is
enabled, then BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_CPIO is always enabled. That's why we
move the enabling of CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD from the initramfs case to
the cpio case.
