c7bd65e1d4 docs/website: remove broken symlink for top-level manual
Recently, we've tried to have the manual lie at the top-level of the
site, to get a shorter URL.

However, that is broken: we do not need only a link the the HTML, but
also to the CSS and to any resource linked from the html (images...).

The server configuration has now been updated to add a redirect, so we
no longer need that symlink anyway. Remove it.

dc1ba281a5 docs/manual: makedevs only accepts numerical values
Because of a limitation in how makedevs resolves names [0], usernames
and groupnames would be resolved with UIDs and GIDs from the host, not
the target.

Fixing makedevs would involve us rewriting a /etc/passwd and /etc/group
parser (not too complex, still not trivial).

Document that the user and group fields should only be numbers, not
names. Also, the manual is currently misleading, as an example indeed
uses names for the user and group fields. Fix that and expand the
explanations.

The mode field should also be numbers, not a rwx combo.

Slight typographical eye-candy about major/minor fields.

[0] it uses getpwnma(3) and getgrnam(3) to resolve names to IDs, and
those only resolve names on the host (i.e. there is no way to specify
a chroot-like feature)

5284dcf7de Document the 72 char limit on package description.
While describing a package I though that the tab and 2 spaces was
already doing the margin for wrapping the help test (ie 70 char when
wrapping to 80) but apparently the full text need to fit 72 columns.

So this patch propose to document that fact in the two places where
the Config.in format is described.

8d972df185 scripts/mkusers: allow users with no password value set
The following allows a user definition to specify that a created user
entry should not have a password value set. Original implementation
allowed a user definition to provide a password value of "=" (no quotes)
to generate a crypt-encoded empty string value. In some cases, it may be
desired to have no value specified for a user's password. By using a
value "-" for a password, no value will be set in the shadow value.

An example when this can be used is when logging into a terminal.
Logging into a session with an encoded empty password will prompt a user
to enter a password since it does not know the password is empty. If the
password field blank, a login session will not prompt for a password.

0cfb5549b3 kconfig-package: add support for config fragments
Adds functionality to the kconfig infrastructure to merge additional
configuration fragment files to the main configuration file of
kconfig packages, using support/kconfig/merge_config.sh

Typical use-case is when you want your configuration to be
kept in sync with an upstream (def)config file, but do require
some minor local modifications.

Disables -update-config and -update-defconfig targets when
fragment files are set.

[Thomas: take into account comments made by Arnout:
  - Minor fixes in the documentation changes
  - Add @ before the tests done in the $(1)-update-config and
    $(1)-update-defconfig targets.]

9776b9cc70 doc/manual: fix generating manual after legacy overhaul
Commit 53903a15 (*config: improve handling of BR2_LEGACY) added an
option to entirely skip legacy entries, by passing a variable in the
environment.

However, it missed one location where that variable is also needed,
which is generating the list of packages and deprecated features for
inclusion in the manual.

Fix that by re-using the global $(COMMON_CONFIG_ENV) variable,
overriding just what we don't want (i.e. br2-external location and
defconfig path).

Also, slightly re-order variables so the ones we override come right
after the common settings, moving the specific ones at the end, one
variable per line.

1ba85b7f87 support/download: add explicit no-hash support
Add support to explicitly state that an archive has no hash.

This can be used for archives downloaded from a repository, like a
git-clone or a subversion checkout, or using the github helper.

This will come in handy when we'll eventually make hashes mandatory as
soon as a .hash file exists: for some packages, like gcc, some versions
are downloaded as archives from upstream, while other versions may come
from a GitHub repository (via the github herlper).

In this case, a .hash file would exist, that contains hashes for the
downloaded tarballs, but archives downloaded from the repository would
not have a hash (since it is currently not possible to have reproducible
such archives). So, we'd need a way to explicitly state there is no
hash, on purpose, for those archives.

So, add 'none' as a new type of hash.

46ebdc8959 docs/manual: update documentation about <pkg>_SOURCE, <pkg>_PATCH and <pkg>_EXTRA_DOWNLOADS
This commit updates the Buildroot manual for the variables used to
indicate where to download the source code from:

 - It updates the description of <pkg>_SOURCE to make it clear that
   Buildroot assume that the tarball is hosted at <pkg>_SITE.

 - It updates the description of <pkg>_PATCH to indicate that not only
   file names (assumed to be hosted at <pkg>_SITE) can be used, but
   also full URLs. This allows to match with what the current code is
   doing.

 - It updates the description of <pkg>_EXTRA_DOWNLOADS to also
   indicate that full URLs are now accepted, following the change made
   in the previous commit.

604c92043b pkg-cmake: allow to build package in a subdirectory
For some cmake based packages, like GNURadio, it's forbidden to do the
compilation directly in the sources directory. This patch add a new
variable to specify, if needed, the name of a sub-directory used to compile.

[Thomas: put the documentation at the right place in the manual, not
in the middle of the <pkg>_CONF_OPTS description.]

This allows us to have the website now officially in docs/website, while
still keep backward compatibility with the current scripts that update

move the website to docs/website/ for good.

All without any perceived downtime or missed updated on the website! :-)

665e13c85e Rename BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to BR2_STATIC_LIBS
Since a while, the semantic of BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB has been changed
from "prefer static libraries when possible" to "use only static
libraries". The former semantic didn't make much sense, since the user
had absolutely no control/idea of which package would use static
libraries, and which packages would not. Therefore, for quite some
time, we have been starting to enforce that BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB
should really build everything with static libraries.

As a consequence, this patch renames BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to
BR2_STATIC_LIBS, and adjust the Config.in option accordingly.

This also helps preparing the addition of other options to select
shared, shared+static or just static.

Note that we have verified that this commit can be reproduced by
simply doing a global rename of BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to
BR2_STATIC_LIBS plus adding BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to Config.in.legacy.

d79042bd0b doc/asciidoc: always apply Buildroot's AsciiDoc config
As suggested by Thomas: the AsciiDoc options we use ensure we get a sane
output of the document. We want that configuration to be applied to
other documents as well.

Up until now, it was implicit that the configuration was applied to
our manual, becasue we only supported document-specific configuration,
and the configuration we had was in our manual dir, so we got to use it.

But now, we can render other documents, especially ones from
br2-external, and we want those to also use the default configuration
from Buildroot, but still be able to provide their own customisation.

So, always add Buildroot's configuration first, if available, before we
append the document's configuration.
