Yann E. MORIN 89c92487cf fs/common: always depend on build host-tar if needed
Currently, the filesystems do not depend on building host-tar when it
is needed, even though all of them have to extract the intermediate
tarball.

However, in degenerate (but legally valid) configurations with no
user-selectable package selected, host-tar would not be built, so the
rootfs images would use whatever improper tar the system has.

Add the conditional dependency to host-tar to the rootfs-common
intermediate image. Since this is the internal step that all real rootfs
generators depend on, they now properly depend on host-tar when needed.

In practice, when host-tar is needed, it will always be built before the
rootfs images, because it is a dependency of all packages (except a very
few, like the skeleton), of which host-fakeroot, which is a mandatory
dependency of rootfs-comon anyway. But for consistency sake, let's
explicitly add host-tar as a dependency to rootfs-common too.

Note that rootfs-tar already had that dependency, and we leave it as-is
because it is semantically correct, even if superfluous.

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.
