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).

- Adding the .hash file should no longer be optional: it *must* be

- 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,

Currently, the output of printvars copntains the name of the variable,
its expanded value and its un-expanded value.
However, most of the time, we need the actual, expanded value, so it can
be re-used from a (non-Buildroot) infrastructure script, like a
post-build script, or a build-farm driver (e.g. a Jenkins job...)
Add two options that a user may set to change the output of printvars:
- QUOTED_VARS, if set, will quote the value
- RAW_VARS, if set, will print the unexpanded value
The new output by default only prints the expanded value now.
So that it can be used as such:
$ make -s printvars VARS=BUSYBOX_VERSION
BUSYBOX_VERSION=1.26.2
$ make -s printvars VARS=BUSYBOX_RDEPENDENCIES QUOTED_VARS=YES
BUSYBOX_RDEPENDENCIES='ncurses util-linux'
$ make -s printvars VARS=BUSYBOX_FINAL_PATCH_DEPENDENCIES RAW_VARS=YES
BUSYBOX_FINAL_PATCH_DEPENDENCIES=$(sort $(BUSYBOX_PATCH_DEPENDENCIES))
And it is even possible to directly evaluate it in a shell script:
eval $(make -s printvars VARS=BUSYBOX_VERSION QUOTED_VARS=YES)
Backward compatibility of the output is not maintained. It is believed
that scripts that depended on the previous output were very fragile to
begin with, because they had to filter the non-formatted output
(splitting on spaces or braces was not really possible, because values
could contain either).
Document printvars and its options in the manual; list it in the output
of 'make help'.

Recently, the autoconf macros for libtool started using '/usr/bin/file'
to determine the type of library that is generated by the toolchain.
Packages that use this recent version of the libtool autoconf macros
will fail in a rather dramatic way when /usr/bin/file is not present
on the host: the package will still build but no shared library is
generated, which in turn may cause build failures in other packages
that link with it.
For example, libpng's configure determines that it is not possible to
build a shared library on MIPS64 because the expected output from 'file'
is not present. Therefore, only a static libpng.a is built. Later,
bandwithd links with -lpng but it doesn't use the pkg-config's
Private-Libs (because it's not linking statically) and it doesn't have
access to the NEEDED reference from the shared library. Therefore, it
doesn't link with zlib and fails with
pngrutil.c:(.text+0x55c): undefined reference to `inflate'
We cant use host-file because it is itself an autotools package and is
itself using libtool, so this would be a chicken-n-egg problem. Besides,
the libtool script really wants to call /usr/bin/file, so it would not
even find our host-file anyway.
So, just require that '/usr/bin/file' is present on the host.

Currently, it is not possible for a br2-external tree to override a
defconfig bundled in Buildroot, nor is it possible to override one from
a previous br2-external tree in the stack.
However, it is interesting that a latter br2-external tree be able to
override a defconfig:
- the ones bundled in Buildroot are minimalist, and almost always
build a toolchain, so a br2-external tree may want to provide a
"better" defconfig (better, in the sense "suited for the project");
- similarly for a defconfig from a previous br2-external tree.
But we can't do that, as the rules for the defconfigs are generated in
the order the br2-external trees are specified, all after the bundled
defconfigs. Those rule are patten-matching rules, which means that the
first one to match is used, and the following ones are ignored.
Add a new utility macro, 'reverse', inspired from GMSL, that does what
it says: reverse a list of words.
Use that macro to reverse the list of br2-external trees, so that the
latters win over the formers, and even over bundled ones.

Update the manual with the new external.desc mandatory file.
Take the opportunity to add a section listing all mandatory files,
Config.in, external.mk and the new external.desc, instead of just
hinting about them in the external package recipes section.
Change the examples to use the NAME-suffixed variable instead of the
raw BR2_EXTERNAL variable.
Change all references to BR2_EXTERNAL elsewhere in the manual to now
use the 'br2-external tree' terminology.

We currently have four lists of packages in the manual:
- the non-virtual target packages,
- the virtual target packages,
- the host packages,
- the deprecated features.
Those list take more than half of the manual. They do not serve much
purpose except to show off.
After the recent discussion on the list [0], remove them all.
We can now get rid of our biggish and complex generating script (and its
companion library kconfiglib).

Currently, a document can not have dependencies, except for the purely
internal ones (like checking asciidoc version, and presence of dblatex).
For our own manual, this will come in handy when we introduce a
generated kconfig snippet, so we can actually make the manual depend on
that snippet being generated first.
For external documents, it can be used to depend on host-packages if
need be (e.g. a custom host packages that generates specific media files
included in the manual).

Currently, packages using target finalize hooks must remember that they
need to register their hook in TARGET_FINALIZE_HOOKS
conditionally (otherwise their hook will be triggered even if the
package is disabled).
In order to avoid this potential mistake, this commit introduces a
per-package target-finalize hook variable, in which packages can
register their target-finalize hooks, with the guarantee that they will
only be triggered if the package is enabled.
