Currently, the legal-info infra only saves the source archive of a package. However, that's not enough as we may apply some patches on packages sources. We do suggest users to also redistribute the Buildroot sources as part of their compliance distribution, so the patches bundled in Buildroot would indeed be included in the compliance distribution. However, that's still not enough, since we may download some patches, or the user may use a global patch directory. Patches in there might not end up in the compliance distribution, and there are risks of non-conformity. So, always include patches alongside the source archive. To ensure reproducibility, we also generate a series file, so patches can be re-applied in the correct order. We get the list of patches to include from the list of patches that were applied by the package infrastructure (via the apply-patches support script). So, we need to get packages properly extracted and patched before we can save their legal-info, not just in the case they define _LICENSE_FILES. Update the legal-info header accordingly. Note: this means that, when a package is not patched and defines no LICENSE_FILES, we will extract and patch it for nothing. There is no easy way to know whether we have to patch a package or not. We can only either duplicate the logic to detect patches (bad) or rely on the infra actually patching the package. Also, a vast majority of packages are either patched, or define _LICENSE_FILES, so it is best and easiest to always extract and patch them prior to legal-info. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

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. If you would like to contribute patches, please read https://buildroot.org/manual.html#submitting-patches
