The inner-xxx-targets in the buildroot package infrastructures are
evaluated using $(eval) which causes variable references to be a bit
different than in regular make code. As we want most references to be
expanded only at the time of the $(eval) we should not use standard
references $(VAR) but rather use double dollar signs $$(VAR). This includes
function references like $(call), $(subst), etc. The only exception is the
reference to pkgdir/pkgname and numbered variables, which are parameters to
the inner block: $(1), $(2), etc.
This patch introduces consistent usage of double-dollar signs throughout the
different inner-xxx-targets blocks.
In some cases, this would potentially cause circular references, in
particular when the value of HOST_FOO_VAR would be obtained from the
corresponding FOO_VAR if HOST_FOO_VAR is not defined. In these cases, a test
is added to check for a host package (the only case where such constructions
are relevant; these are not circular).
Benefits of these changes are:
- behavior of variables is now again as expected. For example, setting
$(2)_VERSION = virtual in pkg-virtual.mk will effectively work, while
originally it would cause very odd results.
- The output of 'make printvars' is now much more useful. This target shows
the value of all variables, and the expression that led to that value.
However, if the expression was coming from an inner-xxx-targets block, and
was using single dollar signs, it would show in printvars as
VAR = value (value)
while if double dollar signs are used, it would effectively look like
VAR = value (actual expression)
as is intended.
This improvement is for example effective for FOO_DL_VERSION, FOO_RAWNAME,
FOO_SITE_METHOD and FOO_MAKE.
The correctness of this patch has been verified using 'make printvars',
'make manual' and 'make legal-info' before and after applying this patch,
and comparing the output.

Currently, we just use what a package declares as its dependencies.
But some packages may declare the same depdency more than once. For
example, php has two options to add SQL support: 'mysql' or 'mysqli',
which are not exclusive. So, php.mk has mysql twice as a dependency.
Although that does not cause any grievance for make, we end up generating
dependency graphs where this duplicate dependency is visible.
Add an intermediary variable which contains the $(sort)-ed list of the
dependencies, thus eliminating any duplicates.
This has the side effect of also sorting the list, which is probably
good for reproducibility anyway.

In pkg-generic.mk, an entry would be added to each of the permissions,
devices and users tables, even if FOO_PERMISSIONS/DEVICES/USERS is empty. In
that last case, the entry would contain only the separator, which is
substituted to '\n' in fs/common.mk.
For configurations with many packages, this would render the build output a
bit odd, containing many \n instances (even though the end result in the
target would of course be the same).
This patch cleans up the build output by only adding to these tables when
the package actually specified contents for them.

Currently, it is possible that more than one provider of a virtual package
is selected in the menuconfig.
This leads to autobuild failures, and we do not protect the user from
making a mistake in the configuration. The failure is then hard to
troubleshoot in any case.
We can't use kconfig constructs to prevent this, since kconfig does not
tell how many options did a select on another option.
This change introduces a new variable a provider *must* define to include
all the virtual packages it is an implementation of. Then, when evaluating
the package's rules, we check that the provider is indeed the declared one
for each virtual package it claims to be an implementation of.
This works by taking advantage that when more than one provider is
selected, only one of them will 'win' in setting the _PROVIDES_FOO
option. Thus any provider just has to check it is indeed the declared
provider. If not, it means that one or more other provider is selected.
This gives the opportunity to the user to change its configuration, and
we can match the error message in the autobuilders to skip those failures
(we can skip them instead of reporting them, since they are obviously
configuration errors that should not happen in the first place.)
[Note: kudos to Arnout for suggesting this actual implementation. :-)]

There will soon be new options to the graph-depends script, which we
can only sanely pass via environment variables.
Currently, we use such an environment variable to pass the maximum depth
of the dependency graph; the name of that variable is explicit that it
contains just the depth.
However, there has been so far no release of Buildroot which would make
use of that variable, so no user should have come to rely on it.
Rename that variable so it is less specific, and more generic, so it can
be used to pass more options to graph-depends.

We cannot use the pattern rules because they must have the same

$(2)_TARGET_PATCH
$(2)_TARGET_CONFIGURE
$(2)_TARGET_BUILD

Due to some tricky make behavior, the license texts of host packages that
did not provide an explicit HOST_FOO_LICENSE_FILES definition was not saved.
The problem is that it is not straightforward to use a variable
defined/updated inside an evaluated block as input to a foreach statement.
If you try to use $(FOO) then only the original value of FOO is used for
foreach, any update inside the block is ignored. However, if you use
$$(FOO), the entire contents of FOO (typically a list of items) is passed
as one item to foreach, thus causing just one iteration instead of several.
>From Arnout Vandecapelle's explanation:
Any variable referenced with a single $ inside the inner-generic-package
macro is expanded before the resulting contents are eval'ed. Therefore, it
is not possible to refer to variables defined by the inner-generic-package
macro from within a single-$ function call.
To fix the problem, one should defer the evaluation of the entire block
using double dollar signs.
Additionally, a few empty lines have been added to the legal-info-foo block

Place 1 and 2 used an identical set of explicit --exclude options, while

excludes version control files, but also binary files (.o, .so) and any file
or directory named 'core' (a problem for the linux kernel that has several

Originally, the <pkg>-rebuild and <pkg>-reconfigure targets were meant
to restart the build of the package from a given step (build for
<pkg>-rebuild and configure for <pkg>-reconfigure) and then re-create
the entire root filesystem.
However, further discussion from the community has shown that this is
not really the desired behavior: we instead want <pkg>-rebuild and
<pkg>-reconfigure to only take care of rebuilding the given package,
and not the entire root filesystem.
People willing to rebuild this package and the root filesystem can do:
make <pkg>-rebuild all
[Thomas P: rewrite commit log, since it's not fixing a bug, but
instead changing what was an intended behavior. ]

pkg-download.mk contains some helper functions to obtain subparts of URLs,
like the URI scheme. In pkg-generic.mk, there is still one opportunity to use
that helper function, instead of hardcoding it.

This finally removes the BR2_HAVE_DEVFILES option, that was used to
install/keep development files on target. With the recent migration of
the internal backend to the package infrastructure, we had anyway lost
the ability to build gcc for the target, and install the uClibc
development files on the target.
