Add documentation about how a br2-external tree can provide an external
toolchain or a libjpeg or openssl alternative implementation.

f879203cfc core: drop now-useless prepare-kconfig rule
This rule was added back in 9429e7b698 (core: introduce an intermediate
rule before the configurators) when the kconfig-side br2-external file
was generated separately from the Makefile-side one.

Now that they are generated together very early in the Makefile, we no
longer need this intermediate rule. Drop it.

492d09bab2 core: rename generated .br-external.mk file
Now that the two (all of them!) br2-external related files are generated
in the same location, it makes sense they are named after the same
pattern.

When initial support for (then single) br2-external trees was added back
in a4239f7fd1 (core: introduce the BR2_EXTERNAL variable), it was not
clear-cut why that file was not named with a br2 prefix.

So rename it now.

74e574c8a6 infra/pkg-meson: allow packages to pass custom compiler/linker flags
Meson does not allow to pass CFLAGS/LDFLAGS/CXXFLAGS via the environment
or via command-line arguments or options (instead, those flags from the
environment are passed to the host compiler, which is seldom what we
need). The only way to pas those flags is via the cross-compilation.conf
file.

Add LIBFOO_CFLAGS, LIBFOO_LDFLAGS and LIBFOO_CXXFLAGS variables to allow
packages to provide their own flags, possibly overriding the generic
ones entirely, as we allow for other infras. Those per-package flags will
then be used to generate the per-package cross-compilation.conf.

This means that the meson infra is the first and only infra for which
FOO_CFLAGS, FOO_LDFLAGS, and FOO_CXXFLAGS are meaningful, while for the
other infras, they are just variables private to the package itself.
Instead of naming those variables after the meson infra (e.g.
FOO_MESON_CFLAGS), we name them with a generic name, as maybe, just
maybe, we could also change the other infras to also recognise those
variables.

Just like for the HOST_MESON_SED_CFLAGS etc., we need to add auxiliary
variables to do convert the shell-formatted argument list into the
JSON-formatted list that meson expects. We can't use a pure-make
construct because the CFLAGS can contain quoting that needs to be
expanded by the shell. Similarly, we need a condition on the strip'ed
variable to avoid passing empty arguments.

To mimic this feature for packages that are built from the SDK, we also
install a templatised version of cross-compilation.conf, with three new
placeholders for custom flags. If a user wants to build a package that
needs custom flags, they can use that template to generate a per-package
cross-compilation.conf.

8291bc7793 package/go: rename BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GO_{ARCH_SUPPORTS,CGO_LINKING_SUPPORTS}
The hidden Config.in option BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GO_ARCH_SUPPORTS name is
not very clear as to whether it says whether Go is available for the
target architecture or the host architecture.

Until now, this was fine since there was support for host Go
packages. But as we are about to introduce support for building host
Go packages, we need to clarify the meaning of
BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GO_ARCH_SUPPORTS. Since it says whether the target
architecture has support for Go or not, we rename it to
BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GO_TARGET_ARCH_SUPPORTS.

And since BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GO_CGO_LINKING_SUPPORTS is tightly related,
we rename it to BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GO_TARGET_CGO_LINKING_SUPPORTS.

95c063a6f1 docs/website: add page for the Buildroot Association
For about two years, a legal entity called "Buildroot Association" was
created in France to support the Buildroot project. Until fall 2018,
this legal entity has not been used. In fall 2018, we started using it
in order to receive donations from companies in order to organize the
Buildroot Developers Meeting that took place before the Embedded Linux
Conference Europe 2018 in Edinburgh.

This commit creates a new page on our web site that documents the
existence of this Buildroot Association, and details how to become a
member. Both individuals and companies can become members.

It is worth stating that the Buildroot Association does not control
the Buildroot project: it remains a fully open-source and
community-driven project. The Buildroot Association only serves as a
legal entity to handle donations and money needed to organize the
Buildroot Developers Meeting, and pay for a few expenses related to
the project (such as domain names).

efc974e686 skeleton-custom: install /bin, /lib, and /sbin
skeleton-custom does not install the required /bin, /lib and /sbin
directories (or symlinks), which may result in an imcomplete tree, The
user could add the required directories/symlinks to the skeleton but
they may be invalid, depending on the state of BR2_ROOTFS_MERGED_USR.

Steps to reproduce:

- Enable BR2_ROOTFS_MERGED_USR and BR2_INIT_SYSTEMD
- Set BR2_ROOTFS_SKELETON_CUSTOM_PATH to "system/skeleton"
- Run "make skeleton"
- target/{bin.lib,sbin} will not exist

Add calls to SYSTEM_USR_SYMLINKS_OR_DIRS to INSTALL_TARGET_CMDS and
INSTALL_STAGING_CMDS, so the required directories or symlinks are
created.

Add a paragraph to the documentation clarifying that custom skeletons
don't need to contain /bin, /lib or /sbin and must not contain them when
BR2_ROOTFS_MERGED_USR is enabled.

efb774bbda package/pkg-meson: allow meson packages to specify custom build rules
Some packages may want to build only specific targets, instead of the
default.

So, allow them to provide FOO_NINJA_OPTS (not really options, but we
just mimicked the naming we already have for autotools packages).

Update the manual accordingly.

e0e089acc4 core/pkg-kconfig: allow dependencies before configurators
Some users of kconfig need some packages to be built before their
kconfig infra be used.

For example, the linux kernel, starting with 4.16, needs flex and bison
to generate the parser code. Furthermore, starting with 4.18, it will
also need the cross-compiler before parsing the kconfig stuff, because
that calls the compiler to check its features.

Currently, this is broken, even the flex/bison ones, even though they
are listed, because there is no way to define dependencie that are
guaranteed before the (visual) configurators. For example:

    $ make distclean
    $ make menuconfig
      --> enable the linux kernel, choose a defconfig, save, exit
    $ make linux-menuconfig
    [...]
      HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
      HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/conf.o
      YACC    scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c
    /bin/sh: bison: command not found
      LEX     scripts/kconfig/zconf.lex.c
    scripts/Makefile.lib:196: recipe for target 'scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c' failed
    make[3]: *** [scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c] Error 127
    make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
    /bin/sh: flex: command not found
    scripts/Makefile.lib:188: recipe for target 'scripts/kconfig/zconf.lex.c' failed
    make[3]: *** [scripts/kconfig/zconf.lex.c] Error 127
    Makefile:528: recipe for target 'rpc_defconfig' failed
    make[2]: *** [rpc_defconfig] Error 2
    linux/linux.mk:511: recipe for target '/home/ymorin/dev/buildroot/buildroot/output/build/linux-4.17.11/.config' failed
    make[1]: *** [/home/ymorin/dev/buildroot/buildroot/output/build/linux-4.17.11/.config] Error 2
    Makefile:79: recipe for target '_all' failed
    make: *** [_all] Error 2

So, we introduce a new type of dependencies for kconfig-based packages,
that are guaranteed to be built and installed before the (visual)
configurators are called.

Since those dependencies are phony targets and therefore always out of
date, a normal dependency would cause the .config target to be rebuilt
on each invocation of make. So we use an order-only pre-requisite, like
is done for the patch dependency.

c32ad51cbf core/sdk: generate the SDK tarball ourselves
Currently, the wording in the manual instructs the user to generate a
tarball from "the contents of the +output/host+ directory".

This is pretty confusing, because taken literally, this would amount to
running a command like:

    tar cf my-sdk.tar -C output/host/ .

This creates a tarbomb [0], which is very bad practice, because when
extracted, it creates multiple files in the current directory.

What one really wants to do, is create a tarball of the host/ directory,
with something like:

    tar cf my-sdk.tar -C output host/

However, this is not much better, because the top-most directory would
have a very common name, host/, which is pretty easy to get conflict
with when it gets extracted.

So, we fix that mess by giving the top-most directory a recognisable
name, based on the target tuple, which we also use as the name of the
archive (suffixed with the usual +.tar.gz+.) We offer the user the
possibility to override that default by specifying the +BR2_SDK_PREFIX+
variable on the command line.

Since this is an output file, we place it in the images/ directory.

As some users expressed a very strong feeling that they do not want to
generate a tarball at all, and that doing so would badly hurt their
workflows [1], we actually prepare the SDK as was previously done, but
under the new, intermediate rule 'prepare-sdk'. The existing 'sdk' rule
obviously depend on that before generating the tarball.

We choose to make the existing rule to generate the tarball, and
introduce a new rule to just prepare the SDK, rather than keep the
existing rule as-is and introduce a new one to generate the tarball,
because it makes sense to have the simplest rule do the correct thing,
leaving advanced, power users use the longest command. If someone
already had a wrapper that called 'sdk' and expected just the host
directory to be prepared, then this is not broken; it just takes a bit
longer (gzip is pretty fast).

Update the manual accordingly.

529219ba96 docs/manual: always point to the correct license file
The manual is GPL-2, and points to the COPYING file in the repository.
When we do a rendering of the manual for a specific version, that URL
is currently always poitning to the latest version of the COPYING file.

If we ever have to change the content of that file (e.g. to add a new
exception, more clarifications, a license change, or whatever), then
an old manual would point to that newer version, which would then be
incorrect.

Include the sha1 of the commit in the URL, so that the manual always
point to the tree at the time the manual was rendered, not the time
it is consulted. Contrary to the informative text above, use the full
sha1, not the shortened one.

970cb26ec2 docs/manual: using a branch name as FOO_VERSION does not work
For various reasons, we've always suggested users to avoid using a
branch as version string for their packages, because it does not work
as a they would expect:

  - it is not reproducible, because the branch may change between two
    builds that are done at different times;

  - it does not even follow the branch, as Buildroot anyway generates
    a local tarball, which it will reuse on subsequent builds.
    Furthermore, since we fetch and not pull, any existing local branch
    is not updated.

Yet, until recently, using a branch name would just work (with the
above limitations): the git tree was cloned, the branch checked out,
and the tarball created.

But with the advent of the git caching, using a branch name does not
work anymore. Indeed, we now do a git-fetch, and that does not create
a local master branch. So we can't check out master, because it does
not exist locally. And for other branches, as noticed above, the local
branch does not get udpated to the remote one.

Furthermore, the local branches are only created by chance, again as a
side-effect of trying to fetch the "special refs".

So, we can't say that we reliably support the use of a branch name.

Update the manual to state that using a branch does not work. Remove
the 'stable' example, as it looked like the name of a stable branch;
instead, replace it with a version string that ressemble a tag.

Fix the layout of the manual by making the version examples an actual
bulleted list.

Note: the above is only entirely true for git. For Mercurial, CVS and
subversion, the status may be mixed, but nonetheless, using branches is
still a bad idea, if at least because it is not reproducible, and
because Buildroot does not even follow the branch. So, we do not
differentiate between the various SCMs, and just flatly state that using
a branch name is not supported.

The clipboard javascript code causes an error:

Uncaught TypeError: Illegal constructor

Which is caused by a recent change in upstream clipboard.js:

https://github.com/zenorocha/clipboard.js/releases/tag/v2.0.0

Changes constructor from new Clipboard() to new ClipboardJS()

The issue was that we were using the master version of clipboard.js instead
of a specific release.  Fix it by using the 1.7.1 version (latest release
before the constructor change) instead.

Let's settle on the US spelling, colors.

94e80d78cf Allow adding per-package override rsync exclusions
This allows using <PKG>_SRCDIR_OVERRIDE_RSYNC_EXCLUSIONS in local.mk to
skip copying parts of source trees unneeded for building. For example,
when developing WebKitGTK+, it's handy to skip copying all the tests and
other build directories, which are huge:

    WEBKITGTK_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR = /home/aperez/WebKit
    WEBKITGTK_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR_RSYNC_EXCLUSIONS = \
        --exclude JSTests --exclude ManualTests \
	--exclude PerformanceTests --exclude WebDriverTests \
	--exclude WebKitBuild --exclude WebKitLibraries \
	--exclude WebKit.xcworkspace --exclude Websites \
	--exclude Examples

This saves a good chunk of time when rsync is used for the first time to
copy the source tree over before building.

c4c85c12eb package/pkg-golang: use 'build' instead of 'install'
So far, we were using the 'go install' mechanism to build a package
and have its binary installed in
$$($(2)_WORKSPACE)/bin/linux_$$(GO_GOARCH). This worked fine when
building on x86-64 for ARM, but failed when building on x86-64 for
x86-64 because the binaries were installed in $$($(2)_WORKSPACE)/bin/.

Instead of doing some complicated logic to guess whether Go is going
to put our binaries in $$($(2)_WORKSPACE)/bin/ or in
$$($(2)_WORKSPACE)/bin/linux_$$(GO_GOARCH), we revert back to using
"go build", as it was done before the introduction of the golang
package infrastructure. "go build" lets us pass explicitly the
destination path of the binary to be generated.

There's just one complexity with how to decide on the name of the
binary that should be produced, and we have two cases:

 - <pkg>_BUILD_TARGETS is the default, i.e ".". In this case we assume
   a single binary is produced by "go build", and we name if after the
   lower case package name. We allow this to be overridden thanks to
   <pkg>_BIN_NAME.

 - <pkg>_BUILD_TARGETS is non-default, and typically contains
   something like "foo bar" or "cmd/foo cmd/bar". In this case, we
   assume the binaries to be produced are "foo" and "bar", i.e we take
   the non-directory part of the build target to name the binaries.

Because we're using this -o option, we no longer need to explicitly
create the binary directory, it is done by "go build".

Fixes:

e15ec4c56b package/pkg-generic: add the concept of extract dependency
Extract dependencies are dependencies that must be ready before the
extract step of a package, i.e for tools that are needed to extract
packages themselves. Current examples of such tools are host-tar,
host-lzip and host-xz.

They are currently handled through DEPENDENCIES_HOST_PREREQ. However,
this mechanism has a number of drawbacks:

 - First and foremost, because host-tar/host-lzip/host-xz are not
   listed in the dependencies of packages, the package infrastructure
   does not know it should rsync them in the context of per-package
   SDK.

 - Second, there is no dependency handling *between* them. I.e, we
   have no mechanism that says host-tar should be built before
   host-lzip, while it is in fact the case: if you need to build
   host-lzip, you need to extract a tarball, so you may need host-tar
   if your system tarball is not capable enough.

For those reasons, it makes sense to add explicit support for "extract
dependencies" in the package infrastructure, through the
<pkg>_EXTRACT_DEPENDENCIES variable. It is unlikely this variable will
ever be used by a package .mk file, but it will be used internally by
the package infrastructure.

2114c29e91 Revert "pkg-download: remove explicit PKG_VERSION from github helper"
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.

1e5a8916b2 pkg-download: remove explicit PKG_VERSION from github helper
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.

63eeb9a383 core/legal-info: use hash file from version sub-dir
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.

b2c043b29a package/linux-tools: change method for including linux-tool sub-makefiles
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).

that patches were not applied for packages whose SITE_METHOD is local.
So document this.

Note that for OVERRIDE_SRCDIR itself it is already documented:

  When Buildroot finds that for a given package, an
  <pkg>_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR has been defined, it will no longer attempt to
  download, extract and patch the package. Instead, it will directly use
  the source code available in in the specified directory.

This commit updates the manual about hashes, fixing a number of
issues:

 - Adding the .hash file should no longer be optional: it *must* be
   added. Therefore the wording "You can add ..." is changed to "When
   possible, you must add ...".

 - 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,
   and their hash can change. For example, downloading patches from
   github.com should no longer be done.

ba6360316f core: enhance printvars
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'.

01372b0d60 luarocks-package: lowercase the upstream name for LuaRocks
LuaRocks has a policy that the rockspec and rock filenames are lower
case. However, the upstream name may contain uppercase characters.
We have several packages like that in Buildroot. To simplify the
package .mk files, apply the lowercase from within the infra.

75cf694bb0 luarocks-package: introduce PKG_NAME_UPSTREAM
Since we now require Lua package names to start with "lua", it is likely
that the Buildroot name is different from the upstream LuaRocks name.
Add a feature to the luarocks-package infra that makes it easier to
handle this situation: the package can explicitly specify the upstream
name in PKG_NAME_UPSTREAM, and that name will be used in PKG_ROCKSPEC,
PKG_SOURCE and PKG_SUBDIR.

Add an explanation of this feature to the manual. To make the example
relevant, it is changed to lua-foo, where the upstream name is plain
foo. To avoid confusion with the dependency on a native library, that
dependency is renamed to bar.

60a94a39d9 docs/manual: centralize recommendations about BR2_DL_DIR
We currently have two places where we recommend where BR2_DL_DIR
should be set: "Environment variables" and "Location of downloaded
packages". The former recommends setting BR2_DL_DIR in the .config,
the latter kind of endorses using ~/.bashrc.

We prefer suggesting the ~/.bashrc way since it avoids downloading the
same file multiple times, and anyway it's wise to have all the details
in a unique place. So remove the .config suggestion from "Environment
variables" and let it just point to "Location of downloaded packages".

e09e1873a1 support/dependencies: ensure we have 'file' on the host
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.

29673c8b1e docs/manual: document both user-facing br2-external variables
While BR2_EXTERNAL_<NAME>_PATH was already documented, it was not
made obvious that it could be reused in post-biuld, post-image and
in-fakeroot scripts.

The BR2_EXTERNAL_<NAME>_DESC variable was not documented at all.

Update the manual to fix this.

Note: a2x chokes on this:

    .Note:
    Both +BR2_EXTERNAL_$(NAME)_PATH+ and +BR2_EXTERNAL_$(NAME)_DESC+ are
      available [...]

and spits out a totally useless error message:

    a2x: ERROR: "xsltproc" --stringparam toc.section.depth 1 --stringparam
    callout.graphics 0 --stringparam navig.graphics 0 --stringparam
    admon.textlabel 1 --stringparam admon.graphic 0 --stringparam

    "/etc/asciidoc/docbook-xsl/xhtml.xsl"
    "/home/ymorin/dev/buildroot/O/docs/manual/manual.xml" returned
    non-zero exit status 6

So, we had to resort to using different quoting styles for each
variables. They are not semantically equivalent, but the rendering
is the same with the default CSS (which we are using). That's gonna
be good-enough for now...

339e1c9500 core: allow a br2-external tree to override a defconfig
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.

d4db4277ff manual: get rid of the lists of packages
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).

3c695928f5 doc/asciidoc: add possibility to define document dependencies
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).

624dbec7e1 core/pkg-generic: allow packages to declare target-finalize hooks
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.
