Thomas De Schampheleire 86a415df8a manual: use one-line titles instead of two-line titles (trivial)
Asciidoc supports two syntaxes for section titles: two-line titles (title
plus underline consisting of a particular symbol), and one-line titles
(title prefixed with a specific number of = signs).

The two-line title underlines are:
Level 0 (top level):     ======================
Level 1:                 ----------------------
Level 2:                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Level 3:                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Level 4 (bottom level):  ++++++++++++++++++++++

and the one-line title prefixes:
= Document Title (level 0) =
== Section title (level 1) ==

=== Section title (level 2) ===
==== Section title (level 3) ====
===== Section title (level 4) =====

The buildroot manual is currenly using the two-line titles, but this has
multiple disadvantages:

- asciidoc also uses some of the underline symbols for other purposes (like
  preformatted code, example blocks, ...), which makes it difficult to do
  mass replacements, such as a planned follow-up patch that needs to move
  all sections one level down.

- it is difficult to remember which level a given underline symbol (=-~^+)
  corresponds to, while counting = signs is easy.

This patch changes all two-level titles to one-level titles in the manual.
The bulk of the change was done with the following Python script, except for
the level 1 titles (-----) as these underlines are also used for literal
code blocks.
This patch only changes the titles, no other changes. In
adding-packages-directory.txt, I did add missing newlines between some
titles and their content.

#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys
import mmap
import re

for input in sys.argv[1:]:

    f = open(input, 'r+')
    f.flush()
    s = mmap.mmap(f.fileno(), 0)

    # Level 0 (top level):     ======================   =
    # Level 1:                 ----------------------   ==
    # Level 2:                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   ===
    # Level 3:                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^   ====
    # Level 4 (bottom level):  ++++++++++++++++++++++   =====

    def replace_title(s, symbol, replacement):
        pattern = re.compile(r'(.+\n)\%s{2,}\n' % symbol, re.MULTILINE)
        return pattern.sub(r'%s \1' % replacement, s)

    new = s
    new = replace_title(new, '=', '=')
    new = replace_title(new, '+', '=====')
    new = replace_title(new, '^', '====')
    new = replace_title(new, '~', '===')
    #new = replace_title(new, '-', '==')

    s.seek(0)
    s.write(new)
    s.resize(s.tell())
    s.close()
    f.close()

=== Using +ccache+ in Buildroot
http://ccache.samba.org[ccache] is a compiler cache. It stores the
object files resulting from each compilation process, and is able to
skip future compilation of the same source file (with same compiler
and same arguments) by using the pre-existing object files. When doing
almost identical builds from scratch a number of times, it can nicely
speed up the build process.
+ccache+ support is integrated in Buildroot. You just have to enable
+Enable compiler cache+ in +Build options+. This will automatically
build +ccache+ and use it for every host and target compilation.
The cache is located in +$HOME/.buildroot-ccache+. It is stored
outside of Buildroot output directory so that it can be shared by
separate Buildroot builds. If you want to get rid of the cache, simply
remove this directory.
You can get statistics on the cache (its size, number of hits,
misses, etc.) by running +make ccache-stats+.
The make target +ccache-options+ and the +CCACHE_OPTIONS+ variable
provide more generic access to the ccache. For example
-----------------
# set cache limit size
make CCACHE_OPTIONS="--max-size=5G" ccache-options
# zero statistics counters
make CCACHE_OPTIONS="--zero-stats" ccache-options
