The clipboard javascript code causes an error:
Uncaught TypeError: Illegal constructor
at buildroot.js:58
Which is caused by a recent change in upstream clipboard.js:
https://github.com/zenorocha/clipboard.js/releases/tag/v2.0.0
Changes constructor from new Clipboard() to new ClipboardJS()
The issue was that we were using the master version of clipboard.js instead
of a specific release. Fix it by using the 1.7.1 version (latest release
before the constructor change) instead.

The graph-depends was not very consistent in colors vs. colours: some
parts were using colours, some parts were using colors.
Let's settle on the US spelling, colors.
This change the user-visble option --colours to --colors, but it is
unlikely that a lot of users customize the colors through
BR2_GRAPH_DEPS_OPTS, so this user interface change is considered
reasonable.

This allows using <PKG>_SRCDIR_OVERRIDE_RSYNC_EXCLUSIONS in local.mk to
skip copying parts of source trees unneeded for building. For example,
when developing WebKitGTK+, it's handy to skip copying all the tests and
other build directories, which are huge:
WEBKITGTK_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR = /home/aperez/WebKit
WEBKITGTK_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR_RSYNC_EXCLUSIONS = \
--exclude JSTests --exclude ManualTests \
--exclude PerformanceTests --exclude WebDriverTests \
--exclude WebKitBuild --exclude WebKitLibraries \
--exclude WebKit.xcworkspace --exclude Websites \
--exclude Examples
This saves a good chunk of time when rsync is used for the first time to
copy the source tree over before building.

So far, we were using the 'go install' mechanism to build a package
and have its binary installed in
$$($(2)_WORKSPACE)/bin/linux_$$(GO_GOARCH). This worked fine when
building on x86-64 for ARM, but failed when building on x86-64 for
x86-64 because the binaries were installed in $$($(2)_WORKSPACE)/bin/.
Instead of doing some complicated logic to guess whether Go is going
to put our binaries in $$($(2)_WORKSPACE)/bin/ or in
$$($(2)_WORKSPACE)/bin/linux_$$(GO_GOARCH), we revert back to using
"go build", as it was done before the introduction of the golang
package infrastructure. "go build" lets us pass explicitly the
destination path of the binary to be generated.
There's just one complexity with how to decide on the name of the
binary that should be produced, and we have two cases:
- <pkg>_BUILD_TARGETS is the default, i.e ".". In this case we assume
a single binary is produced by "go build", and we name if after the
lower case package name. We allow this to be overridden thanks to
<pkg>_BIN_NAME.
- <pkg>_BUILD_TARGETS is non-default, and typically contains
something like "foo bar" or "cmd/foo cmd/bar". In this case, we
assume the binaries to be produced are "foo" and "bar", i.e we take
the non-directory part of the build target to name the binaries.
Because we're using this -o option, we no longer need to explicitly
create the binary directory, it is done by "go build".

Extract dependencies are dependencies that must be ready before the
extract step of a package, i.e for tools that are needed to extract
packages themselves. Current examples of such tools are host-tar,
host-lzip and host-xz.
They are currently handled through DEPENDENCIES_HOST_PREREQ. However,
this mechanism has a number of drawbacks:
- First and foremost, because host-tar/host-lzip/host-xz are not
listed in the dependencies of packages, the package infrastructure
does not know it should rsync them in the context of per-package
SDK.
- Second, there is no dependency handling *between* them. I.e, we
have no mechanism that says host-tar should be built before
host-lzip, while it is in fact the case: if you need to build
host-lzip, you need to extract a tarball, so you may need host-tar
if your system tarball is not capable enough.
For those reasons, it makes sense to add explicit support for "extract
dependencies" in the package infrastructure, through the
<pkg>_EXTRACT_DEPENDENCIES variable. It is unlikely this variable will
ever be used by a package .mk file, but it will be used internally by
the package infrastructure.

This reverts commit 1e5a8916b2.
The idea was that the version string can be derived because we know the
package name.
However, this patch does not account for the fact that $(pkgname) always
points to the latest pacakge scanned, which in all other situation we're
using it, is the current package, because it is used inside one ot he
xxx-inner macros that are $(eval)ualed. So $(pkgname) is evaluated
"early" and gets the expected value.
However, the github value is not in one of those macros, so it gets
evaluated "late", when doing the actual download. So, by that time,
$(pkgname) will expand to the last package scanned, which is actuall the
manual (without a br2-external tree).
That would require that the _SITE variable be assigned with the :=
assignment operator. This is weird, because that would make it the only
variable to require that, but only when using the github helper, which
is even less obvious and would cause a lot of trouble...
The obvious fixup would seem to be to use $(PKG) instead, because that
already contains the upper-case package name that vcan be used as a
prefix to variables.
However, that does not work either, because we have a check that forbids
a trsailing slash in _SITE, check that is done in pacakge/pkg-generic,
inside the xxx-inner macro, during the $(eval) call.
And at that time, PKG is not yet defined, because it is only defined for
an actual recipe.
So we can't seem to have a workable solution. So, just revert the patch.
