5e5f3209f0 documentation: insist more on why output/target/ should not be used
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 :-)

524b203588 busybox: invert hide option
Invert the BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX_HIDE_OTHERS option to use positive logic,
renaming it to _SHOW_OTHERS.

Positive logic is simpler to understand, and it makes all{,package}config
do the right thing.

58fd779a43 buildroot; move defconfigs to configs/ and print in help
As discussed earlier on the mailing list. It simplifies code, gives more
sensible error message on typos and makes the defconfigs easier to find
for users.

Furthermore, update documentation to match.

77754571b2 pkgconfig: add pkgconfig package for target
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.

0dbf9dd7ab Create a common BR2_COPYTO to prepare to replace

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.

ello,

Enclosed is a small documentation update. It adds a section that answers

Thanks,

Thomas
