9dcb5c581b docs/website: fixing query.yahooapis.com shutdown
This patch rework the use of query.yahooapis.com to do the conversion
from xml to json required by our script and moves to the use of a js
library. Datas are therefore now converted in json format on the client.

Unfortunately, cause of the CORS restriction on nabble and
buildroot.org, we cannot retrieve directly the xml data from these
servers and we need a CORS proxy to do that.

Some of our cdn's are going discontinued (rawgit) and some others are
not recommended anymore, thus we update to the recommended cdnjs.
This patch enables also SRI protection on js to be sure the modules we
download are not manipulated in any way.

74fc5dce22 docs/manual: standardize a bit more the formatting of commit titles
Currently, our commit titles are not very well standardized, and it
would be great to standardize them a little bit more. A number of
people use "<pkg>: " as prefix, others use "package/<pkg>: ". Some
people start the rest of the commit title (after the prefix) with an
upper-case letter, some with a lower-case letter.

In an attempt to standardize this, this commit updates the manual with
some examples of good commit titles.

e0e089acc4 core/pkg-kconfig: allow dependencies before configurators
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.

c32ad51cbf core/sdk: generate the SDK tarball ourselves
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.

529219ba96 docs/manual: always point to the correct license file
The manual is GPL-2, and points to the COPYING file in the repository.
When we do a rendering of the manual for a specific version, that URL
is currently always poitning to the latest version of the COPYING file.

If we ever have to change the content of that file (e.g. to add a new
exception, more clarifications, a license change, or whatever), then
an old manual would point to that newer version, which would then be
incorrect.

Include the sha1 of the commit in the URL, so that the manual always
point to the tree at the time the manual was rendered, not the time
it is consulted. Contrary to the informative text above, use the full
sha1, not the shortened one.

970cb26ec2 docs/manual: using a branch name as FOO_VERSION does not work
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.

The clipboard javascript code causes an error:

Uncaught TypeError: Illegal constructor

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

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.

94e80d78cf Allow adding per-package override rsync exclusions
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.

c4c85c12eb package/pkg-golang: use 'build' instead of 'install'
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".

Fixes:

e15ec4c56b package/pkg-generic: add the concept of extract dependency
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.
