Currently, we are using bare clones, so as to minimise the disk usage, most notably for largeish repositories such as the one for the Linux kernel, which can go beyond the 1GiB barrier. However, this precludes updating (and thus using) the submodules, if any, of the repositories, as a working copy is required to use submodules (becaue we need to know the list of submodules, where to find them, where to clone them, what cset to checkout, and all those is dependent upon the checked out cset of the father repository). Switch to using /plain/ clones with a working copy. This means that the extra refs used by some forges (like pull-requests for Github, or changes for gerrit...) are no longer fetched as part of the clone, because git does not offer to do a mirror clone when there is a working copy. Instead, we have to fetch those special refs by hand. Since there is no easy solution to know whether the cset the user asked for is such a special ref or not, we just try to always fetch the cset requested by the user; if this fails, we assume that this is not a special ref (most probably, it is a sha1) and we defer the check to the archive creation, which would fail if the requested cset is missing anyway.

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
