Currently, we define the so-called "overflow group" as 'nogroup'.
However, one practical issue is that systemd-sysusers will otherwise
create a 'nobody' group with gid 999, because that's is what is usual to
define the overflow group: users and groups are defined in LSB (Linux
Standard Base):
https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/LSB_5.0.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/usernames.html
Quoting: "If the username exists on a system,then they should be in the
suggested corresponding group".
Only Debian and derivatives depart from this custom, naming it 'nogroup'
(hence the rationale for commit 908198e756 (system/skeleton: remove
spurious group 'nobody').
See also commit 9c67af2c52 (system/skeleton: use uid/gid 65534 for
nobody/nogroup), and a related discussion on LWN.net (key is "overflow
UID" which also applies to GID):
https://lwn.net/Articles/695478/
Use the recommended groupname 'nobody'. Adapt packages accordingly.

We want to use SPDX identifier for license strings as much as possible.
SPDX short identifier for GPLv2/GPLv2+ is GPL-2.0/GPL-2.0+.
This change is done by using following command.
find . -name "*.mk" | xargs sed -ri '/LICENSE( )?[\+:]?=/s/\<GPLv2\>/GPL-2.0/g'

The default boa.conf we install specifies that boa should run under the
nobody group, but we don't have such a group in our default skeleton (and
boa doesn't add it), causing boa to fail to start:
[01/Jan/1970:00:00:10 +0000] No such group: nobody
Instead use the nogroup group, which is presumably what was meant.

Since the trailing slash is stripped from $($(PKG)_SITE) by pkg-generic.mk:
$(call DOWNLOAD,$($(PKG)_SITE:/=)/$($(PKG)_SOURCE))
so it is redundant.
This patch removes it from $(PKG)_SITE variable for BR consistency.

Thanks to the pkgparentdir and pkgname functions, we can rewrite the
AUTOTARGETS macro in a way that avoids the need for each package to
repeat its name and the directory in which it is present.

We have been passing -q to ./configure when using 'make -s' for
packages using Makefile.autotools.in for some time. Do the same
for packages using autotools, but not using the
Makefile.autotools.in infrastructure, taking care to not do it
for packages with hand written configure scripts.

A C library will have been built by the toolchain makefiles, so there is no
need for packages to explicitly depend on uclibc.

they should be configured with --prefix=/usr and we then need to use
make DESTDIR=$(STAGING_DIR) install to get things installed into the
staging directory. The current situation for many packages, which use
--prefix=$(STAGING_DIR) results in the staging_dir paths getting compiled
into the binary itself.
This also adds in a pile of libtool fixups. Between broken pkgconfig,
broken libtool handling, and broken --prefix settings, its a wonder
things have worked as well as they have up till now.
