Yann E. MORIN bb2a57a17a fs: run packages' filesystem hooks in a copy of target/
Currently, some packages may register hooks to be run just before and
just after the generic tarball image is generated, because they need to
prepare the filesystem for read-only or read-write operation.

However, this means that, if any of the hooks or the image generation
fails, the target directory is left in a dangling, inconsistent state.

We fix that by doing a copy of target/, run the hooks on that copy,
generate the generic tarball image out of that, and get rid of the copy.

This way, we can guarantee consistency of the target directory, and we
can even ditch support for post-fs hooks (those that restore target/).

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.
