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.

  package/rustc/rustc.mk:18: possible typo: RUST_HOST_NAME -> *RUSTC*

As RUST_{HOST,TARGET}_NAME are related to the Rust compiler, it
sounds sensible to rename them to RUSTC_{HOST,TARGET}_NAME.

So update all rust related packages to use the new variables.

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).

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,

7ca9fc3170 tools: rename to 'utils'
After some discussion, we found out that "tools" has the four first
letters identical to the "toolchain" subfolder, which makes it a bit
unpractical with tab-completion. So, this commit renames "tools" to
"utils", which is more tab-completion-friendly.

This has been discussed with Arnout and Yann.

afdb545b28 tools: new tool to filter the output of make
Add brmake, a small script that redirects the build output log to a
file, keeping just Buildroot's own messages, with the date+time added
at the start of the line.

We need to unbuffer the output of make so that, when the script is
interrupted (SIGINT, ^C), there is no lingering output not yet digested
by the logger loop.

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
    chunk.section.depth 0 --output "/home/ymorin/dev/buildroot/O/docs/manual/manual.html"
    "/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).

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.

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.

Thomas P. has sent a few big feedback mails recently that explain how a

manual, so add a section that explains how patches should be formatted.
This is based heavily on the feedback that Thomas P. gave. Also,
specific examples for new packages and version bumps are added.

This will allow us to refer to
