The .tar.gz default extension is historical, and we initially used to only fetch tarballs from remote sites. When we introduced downloads from VCS repositories, we kept that extension, and kept compressing with gz, by lack of good reason to switch to some other compression scheme. However, nowadays, we will want to change the way we construct the tarballs we generate from VCS. This will de facto change the hashes of those tarballs. So we will want that the archives we generate do not clash with the existing ones, so we need another filename. Thus, we need a way to be able to use a different extension when we generate archives from VCS. Use a macro as suggested by Arnout. 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
