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).

0611045c42 manual: patches are not applied for SITE_METHOD = local
We had several remarks on the mailing list of users that were surprised
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.

a0c9b36b80 docs/manual: update details about hashes
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.

7ca9fc3170 tools: rename to 'utils'

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'.

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.

d082d20a8a docs/manual: fix documentation about BR2_EXTERNAL_<name>_PATH variable
The BR2_EXTERNAL documentation improperly tells to use the
BR2_EXTERNAL_<name>_DIR variable to reference the location of the
BR2_EXTERNAL directory. But in fact the variable is named
BR2_EXTERNAL_<name>_PATH.

In addition, some closing double quotes were missing.

This commit fixes both of those issues.

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.

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).

For our own manual, this will come in handy when we introduce a

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).

ab18cf8327 core/pkg-generic: add support for package-defined help
Add a package-variable to store the package-specific make rules.

Although this variable would be seldom used, we still document it.
However, we make sure the documentation explicitly states that this
variable should not be used (if it needs to be, the submitter of a
package will be told so during reviews).

2658b82353 Revert "core: add the possibility to provide help for custom rules"
This reverts commit 84c825f8e8.

Turns out that the custom help is not available when the $(O) directory
has not been configure yet (i.e. when there is no .config already
filled).

Rather than trying to work around this limitation with dirty hacks, just
revert this feature. After all, this will not prevent an external.mk
from providing custom help anyway; it's just not gonna be advertised nor
displayed with the main help.

84c825f8e8 core: add the possibility to provide help for custom rules
When using a br2-external tree, it is possible (as stated in our manual)
to implement whatever arbitrary extra make rules (such as flashing a
board, or extracting the rootfs in an NFS export...). Some of those
extra rules might be exposed to the user as new entry points that the
user can call by itself.

However, there is no way for the br2-external to advertise those new
rules in the help text.

We add the possibility to do so, by adding a new make rule, called
help-custom, advertised in our own help info.

It is up to the br2-external tree to provide whatever help text is
deemed necessary. The format of the help is completely free-form.

Note that we need to provide an empty, dummy help-custom rule, since it
is always advertised (making it .PHONY does not work). Since this rule
is empty, make gently reports that there is "Nothing to be done for
`help-local'", which is pretty well fitting when help-local was not
provided (either because there's no br2-external tree, or when the
br2-external tree does not provide it.

8c5afd120e support/scripts: add size-stats-compare script
Leverage the CSV files produces by size-stats (make graph-size) to allow
for a comparison of rootfs size between two different buildroot
compilations.

The script takes the file-size CSV files of two compilations as input, and
produces a textual report of the differences per package.
Using the -d/--detail flag, the report will show the file size changes
instead of package size changes.
The -t/--threshold option allows to ignore file size differences smaller
or equal than the given threshold (in bytes).

Example output is:

Size difference per package (bytes), threshold = 0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       -8192         busybox

f1856bd0f5 docs/manual: do not override BR2_EXTERNAL
Currently, we forcibly override BR2_EXTERNAL when building the manual,
so as to avoid referring to packages therein from the manual.

However, when generating the lists of packages, we limit ourselves to
scanning for packages in (Buildroot's) TOPDIR and never search in
BR2_EXTERNAL. So, we do not really need to override BR2_EXTERNAL when
generating the manual to achieve the same result.

Furthermore, we're only looking for packages that are defined in the
sub-menu "Target packages", and never anywhere else, and especially not
in the sub-menu "User-provided options".

Finally, we're soon to completely eliminate use of BR2_EXTERNAL in
Kconfig altogether, so that would no longer have any impact anyway.

So, just leave BR2_EXTERNAL alone when generating the manual.

1e97b27873 ccache: support changing the output directory
When building in a different output directory than the original build,
there will currently be a lot of ccache misses because in many cases
there is some -I/... absolute path in the compilation. Ccache has an
option CCACHE_BASEDIR to substitute absolute paths with relative paths,
so they wil be the same in the hash (and in the output).

Since there are some disadvantages to this path rewriting, it is made
optional as BR2_CCACHE_USE_BASEDIR. It defaults to y because the
usefulness of ccache is severely reduced without this option.

In addition to CCACHE_BASEDIR, we also substitute away the occurences
of $(HOST_DIR) in the calculation of the compiler hash. This is done
regardless of the setting of BR2_CCACHE_USE_BASEDIR because it's
quite harmless.

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)

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.

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.

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.

Move the GENDOC infra to its own file, so it is even less tied to our
manual document, so that it is more obvious that GENDOC is an infra like
our packages infras, and 'manual' is a document like we have packages.

Ideally, this new file should better go in docs/ rather than in package/ .
However, docs/ is already full of our website stuff, so adding it in
there would just serve to clutter the website.

So, let's just put alongside the other infrastructures, in package/ .

d861876322 docs/manual: always look for resources in destination directory
Our manual does not use external filters in asciidoc, so we are happy
with just looking for resources from our source tree.

However, other documents (like ones in br2-external) may use such
filters, to generate diagrams, graphs...

External filters generate their output files in the output directory, so
we must also look for resources in there.

Note: external filters in asccidoc are used thus:
    ["filter-name"]
    ----
    Text to be rendered
    ----

In the future, our own manual may even make use of filters to include
some of the graphs we generate, to store in the documentation.

5b34e68369 docs/manual: allow documents to define some hooks, as for a package
Allow documents to define two hooks:
  - DOC_CHECK_EXTRA_DEPENDENCIES_HOOKS
    to check for extra dependencies required by this document
  - DOC_CHECK_EXTRA_DEPENDENCIES_FMT_HOOKS
    ditto, but for the specific format
  - DOC_POST_EXTRACT_HOOKS:
    to run additional actions to fill-in the build directory

(Replace 'DOC' with the uppercase name of the document, and 'FMT' with
the format.)

This is supposed to replace the current use of overloading the internal
dependency rules, and makes GENDOC behave yet a bit more like the
package infrastructure.

Note that GENDOC_INNER already has the uppercase name as an argument,
whereas GENDOC does not, so the two foreach loops are not exactly
similar (for now.)

995f9bf4d3 docs/manual: last pass at removing hard-coded path in GENDOC_INNER
GENDOC_INNER still has one hard-coded path to the document's directory:
the asciidoc .conf files.

Add a new argument to GENDOC_INNER to pass the directory of the
document.

Notes:

- this makes for overly-long lines, but splitting is not possible,
otherwise the first argument on the continuation line would get (at
least) a leading space or tab, and that would break either or all of
the variables names, the dependency rules, or the filenames we look
for. A future patch will further clean this up (see: docs/asciidoc: call
$(pkgname) and $(pkgdir) in a single place.)

- this means that another document would be missing our tweaks from
asciidoc-text.conf to not render images and sanely render hyperlinks.
But that was already the case anyway, since we were using docs/$(1)/ to
search for that file. A further patch will allow us to have such
configuration in a common place.

c7f9d2e878 docs/manual: do not hardcode name of the generated document
Currently, GENDOC_INNER hard-codes some variables to have the name of the
document in them:
    MANUAL_$(2)_ASCIIDOC_CONF
    MANUAL_$(2)_ASCIIDOC_OPTS
    MANUAL_$(2)_A2X_OPTS
    MANUAL_$(2)_INSTALL_CMDS
    ...

Also, it defines some dependency on the generation rule, onto:
    manual-check-dependencies
    manual-check-dependencies-$(3)
    manual-prepare-sources

This is problematic, as it is not possible to have another document
generated with the GENDOC infra, or it would trigger the rules, and use
the variables for our own document, 'manual'.

Add a new argument to GENDOC_INNER to be the uppercase name of the
document, much like it is done for the PKG_*_INNER functions. Replace
any reference to 'manual' with the currently passed named of the current
document, $(1).

The remaining references to 'manual' are on purpose, as they really
pertain to our manual.
