Arnout Vandecappelle 0f369a9231 download/git: create GNU format tar files
On most distros, the tar format defaults to GNU. However, at build time
the default format may be changed to posix. Also, future versions of
tar will default to posix.

Since we want the tarballs created by the git download method to be
reproducible (so their hash can be checked), we should explicitly
specify the format. Since existing tarballs on sources.buildroot.org
use the GNU format, and also the existing hashes in the *.hash files
are based on GNU format tarballs, we use the GNU format.

In addition, the Posix format encodes atime and ctime as well as mtime,
but tar offers no option like --mtime to override them. In the GNU
format, atime and ctime are only encoded if the --incremental option is
given.

README

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded
Linux systems through cross-compilation.

The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text
document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text.
Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html

To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following:

1) run 'make menuconfig'
2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile
3) run 'make'
4) wait while it compiles
5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images

You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot.  Have fun!

Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run
'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations.

Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the
buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org
You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC.
