In the past, these files of the buildroot website weren't under git
version control, but rather were static files added to the git checkout
used by the webserver.
This is no longer the case, so add them to git - And at the same time
use the Buildroot logo for the favicon, rather than reusing the busybox
one.

The configuration cache shared between packages, while being in
principle a nice idea to speed-up the configuration of packages by
avoiding repetitive identical checks, turned out to be unreliable due
to the subtle differences between similar but not identical checks in
different packages. After spending some time trying to fix those, we
concluded that supporting the shared configuration cache is definitely
too hard and too unreliable, and that we'd better get rid of it
altogether.
This patch therefore removes the shared configuration cache
infrastructure and usage.

Removed validator html4.01 code.
Color corrected the code sections.
Removed redundant or useless html code.
Changed foo to libfoo, for consistency.
Changed page bookmarking to use header id's.
Re-flowed paragraphs to line break at 80 characters.
Re-formatted the code sections for consistency and correctness.
Kept all list items, headings, and href's on a single line (where possible).

A lot of people complain that the root filesystem generated by
Buildroot doesn't work because it lacks the device files. This is
because they use output/target/ instead of one of the images.
Therefore, insist in the documentation on this point. Even though I'm
unsure if users really read the documentation :-)

* Mention that the section on project feature is obsolete since the

* Remove the duplication about two different sections documenting
basically the same thing : how to use the Buildroot toolchain.
The host versions shouldn't be visible in Kconfig, so remove the
reference to BR2_PACKAGE_PKGCONFIG everywhere and prefix the host targets
with host-.
At the same time add pkgconfig for the target (E.G. for development) and
let BR2_PACKAGE_PKGCONFIG control that package.
Notice: all defconfigs in the tree have been updated, but make sure to
disable the pkgconfig package (unless you want it) if you use an external
config, otherwise you'll end up with pkgconfig and glib2 in the target.
all the different COPYTOs spread out all over
Buildroot.
Generate COPY_FILE subroutine which can be used
to copy a file.
$(COPY_FILE , file, directory, filename)
This will copy to binary dir and to the selected
copy dir if set in new config (intended to replace
all old COPYTO configs)
This is overridden by BUILDROOT_COPYTO,
if set into the environment.
This is the long requested backup mirror support. So far only enabled
for Makefile.autotools.in, but there's no reason why we cannot use
DOWNLOAD everywhere.
Notice, I'm still syncing http://buildroot.uclibc.org/downloads/sources/
The biggest update is to document the Makefile.autotools.in way of
writing .mk files.

ello,
Enclosed is a small documentation update. It adds a section that answers
a very often asked question : "How to use the uClibc toolchain generated
by Buildroot".
Erik, could you apply it if you agree with the modifications ?
Thanks,
