The hidden Config.in option BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GO_ARCH_SUPPORTS name is
not very clear as to whether it says whether Go is available for the
target architecture or the host architecture.
Until now, this was fine since there was support for host Go
packages. But as we are about to introduce support for building host
Go packages, we need to clarify the meaning of
BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GO_ARCH_SUPPORTS. Since it says whether the target
architecture has support for Go or not, we rename it to
BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GO_TARGET_ARCH_SUPPORTS.
And since BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GO_CGO_LINKING_SUPPORTS is tightly related,
we rename it to BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GO_TARGET_CGO_LINKING_SUPPORTS.

For about two years, a legal entity called "Buildroot Association" was
created in France to support the Buildroot project. Until fall 2018,
this legal entity has not been used. In fall 2018, we started using it
in order to receive donations from companies in order to organize the
Buildroot Developers Meeting that took place before the Embedded Linux
Conference Europe 2018 in Edinburgh.
This commit creates a new page on our web site that documents the
existence of this Buildroot Association, and details how to become a
member. Both individuals and companies can become members.
It is worth stating that the Buildroot Association does not control
the Buildroot project: it remains a fully open-source and
community-driven project. The Buildroot Association only serves as a
legal entity to handle donations and money needed to organize the
Buildroot Developers Meeting, and pay for a few expenses related to
the project (such as domain names).

Some users of kconfig need some packages to be built before their
kconfig infra be used.
For example, the linux kernel, starting with 4.16, needs flex and bison
to generate the parser code. Furthermore, starting with 4.18, it will
also need the cross-compiler before parsing the kconfig stuff, because
that calls the compiler to check its features.
Currently, this is broken, even the flex/bison ones, even though they
are listed, because there is no way to define dependencie that are
guaranteed before the (visual) configurators. For example:
$ make distclean
$ make menuconfig
--> enable the linux kernel, choose a defconfig, save, exit
$ make linux-menuconfig
[...]
HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep
HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/conf.o
YACC scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c
/bin/sh: bison: command not found
LEX scripts/kconfig/zconf.lex.c
scripts/Makefile.lib:196: recipe for target 'scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c' failed
make[3]: *** [scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c] Error 127
make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
/bin/sh: flex: command not found
scripts/Makefile.lib:188: recipe for target 'scripts/kconfig/zconf.lex.c' failed
make[3]: *** [scripts/kconfig/zconf.lex.c] Error 127
Makefile:528: recipe for target 'rpc_defconfig' failed
make[2]: *** [rpc_defconfig] Error 2
linux/linux.mk:511: recipe for target '/home/ymorin/dev/buildroot/buildroot/output/build/linux-4.17.11/.config' failed
make[1]: *** [/home/ymorin/dev/buildroot/buildroot/output/build/linux-4.17.11/.config] Error 2
Makefile:79: recipe for target '_all' failed
make: *** [_all] Error 2
So, we introduce a new type of dependencies for kconfig-based packages,
that are guaranteed to be built and installed before the (visual)
configurators are called.
Since those dependencies are phony targets and therefore always out of
date, a normal dependency would cause the .config target to be rebuilt
on each invocation of make. So we use an order-only pre-requisite, like
is done for the patch dependency.

Currently, the wording in the manual instructs the user to generate a
tarball from "the contents of the +output/host+ directory".
This is pretty confusing, because taken literally, this would amount to
running a command like:
tar cf my-sdk.tar -C output/host/ .
This creates a tarbomb [0], which is very bad practice, because when
extracted, it creates multiple files in the current directory.
What one really wants to do, is create a tarball of the host/ directory,
with something like:
tar cf my-sdk.tar -C output host/
However, this is not much better, because the top-most directory would
have a very common name, host/, which is pretty easy to get conflict
with when it gets extracted.
So, we fix that mess by giving the top-most directory a recognisable
name, based on the target tuple, which we also use as the name of the
archive (suffixed with the usual +.tar.gz+.) We offer the user the
possibility to override that default by specifying the +BR2_SDK_PREFIX+
variable on the command line.
Since this is an output file, we place it in the images/ directory.
As some users expressed a very strong feeling that they do not want to
generate a tarball at all, and that doing so would badly hurt their
workflows [1], we actually prepare the SDK as was previously done, but
under the new, intermediate rule 'prepare-sdk'. The existing 'sdk' rule
obviously depend on that before generating the tarball.
We choose to make the existing rule to generate the tarball, and
introduce a new rule to just prepare the SDK, rather than keep the
existing rule as-is and introduce a new one to generate the tarball,
because it makes sense to have the simplest rule do the correct thing,
leaving advanced, power users use the longest command. If someone
already had a wrapper that called 'sdk' and expected just the host
directory to be prepared, then this is not broken; it just takes a bit
longer (gzip is pretty fast).
Update the manual accordingly.

If we ever have to change the content of that file (e.g. to add a new

an old manual would point to that newer version, which would then be
incorrect.

For various reasons, we've always suggested users to avoid using a
branch as version string for their packages, because it does not work
as a they would expect:
- it is not reproducible, because the branch may change between two
builds that are done at different times;
- it does not even follow the branch, as Buildroot anyway generates
a local tarball, which it will reuse on subsequent builds.
Furthermore, since we fetch and not pull, any existing local branch
is not updated.
Yet, until recently, using a branch name would just work (with the
above limitations): the git tree was cloned, the branch checked out,
and the tarball created.
But with the advent of the git caching, using a branch name does not
work anymore. Indeed, we now do a git-fetch, and that does not create
a local master branch. So we can't check out master, because it does
not exist locally. And for other branches, as noticed above, the local
branch does not get udpated to the remote one.
Furthermore, the local branches are only created by chance, again as a
side-effect of trying to fetch the "special refs".
So, we can't say that we reliably support the use of a branch name.
Update the manual to state that using a branch does not work. Remove
the 'stable' example, as it looked like the name of a stable branch;
instead, replace it with a version string that ressemble a tag.
Fix the layout of the manual by making the version examples an actual
bulleted list.
Note: the above is only entirely true for git. For Mercurial, CVS and
subversion, the status may be mixed, but nonetheless, using branches is
still a bad idea, if at least because it is not reproducible, and
because Buildroot does not even follow the branch. So, we do not
differentiate between the various SCMs, and just flatly state that using
a branch name is not supported.

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".

toolchain-common.in is a Config.in file with an uncommon name.
It is just included by toolchain/Config.in, and toolchain/Config.in is
not that long, so instead of renaming the file, merge it to
toolchain/Config.in.
Move the raw contents from the file to the exact location it is
currently included in order to not change the order in the menu.
Update the references in the manual as well.

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.

Currently it is always required to add package version as an argument to
the github helper. Since the version is always defined as PKG_VERSION,
drop this argument and generate it automatically inside the helper
routine.
The github helper function is extended to support both 2 and 3 argument
variants (ie. either use the provided package version argument or
automatically substitute with PKG_VERSION if not available), which can
make the transition of the package files easier as well allows using the
3-argument variant outside of package definitions.

When we have multiple versions for a package, and the licensing terms
depend on the version actually selected (e.g. like Qt5), storing the
hashes for those license files in the .hash file is broken: the infra
will ensure that all hashes for a file do match, which would not be the
case here.
We fix that by first looking for a hash file in the version sub-dir
first, and if that does not exist, then we use the main hash file.
Drop the useless intermediate variable 'ret'.
Update the documentation accordingly.

Make inclusion ordering of all linux-tool-*.mk sub-makefiles explicit
instead of relying on alphabetical sort order. This is done by
renaming the Linux tools sub-makefiles to the format linux-tool-*.mk.in.
This causes the top-level Makefile to ignore the Linux tools
sub-makefiles.
Until now, the main Makefile included all linux-tool-*.mk files, as
well as linux-tools.mk, and it relied on alphabetical sorting to
include them in the proper order (linux-tool-*.mk before
linux-tools.mk).

This commit updates the manual about hashes, fixing a number of
issues:
- Adding the .hash file should no longer be optional: it *must* be
added. Therefore the wording "You can add ..." is changed to "When
possible, you must add ...".
- We are now checking hashes for Git downloaded packages, so fix this
as well, and indicate more clearly which download methods have hash
checking.
- We no longer want to have auto-generated patches be downloaded
through <pkg>_PATCH because such patches are not stable over time,
and their hash can change. For example, downloading patches from
github.com should no longer be done.
