Currently, we expect and only use hash files that lie within the package
directory, alongside the .mk file. Those hash files are thus bundled
with Buildroot.
This implies that only what's known to Buildroot can ever get into those
hash files. For packages where the version is fixed (or a static
choice), then we can carry hashes for those known versions.
However, we do have a few packages for which the version is a free-form
entry, where the user can provide a custom location and/or version. like
a custom VCS tree and revision, or a custom tarball URL. This means that
Buildroot has no way to be able to cary hashes for such custom versions.
This means that there is no integrity check that what was downloaded is
what was expected. For a sha1 in a git tree, this is a minor issue,
because the sha1 by itself is already a hash of the expected content.
But for custom tarballs URLs, or for a tag in a VCS, there is indeed no
integrity check.
Buildroot can't provide such hashes, but interested users may want to
provide those, and currently there is no (easy) way to do so.
We leverage the existing global-patch-dir mechanism to look for extra
hash files. We use the same heuristic that is used for bundled hash
files, and for each global patch directory <dir>, we use the first file
to exist among:
1. look into <dir>/<package>/<version>/<package>.hash
2. look into <dir>/<package>/<package>.hash

The last architecture-specific patch we had was removed 2015-02-14 with
commit 9863553fe8 (packages: all salute the passing of avr32), where
we eventually got rid of the avr32-specific patch for fbv.
Since then, we've only had common patches (that apply systematically),
or conditional patches, that are applied in an ad-hoc manner with
post-patch hooks. Currently, we even only have one such patch (for
Linux).
Since we do not advertise that possibility in the manual, and since we
do not want to have such patches, drop the support for it.
This has the potential for breaking existing br2-external trees, but
there is a workaround for those: they can provide a pre-patch ook that

Commit 7dd27cbe5b (support/download: add support to exclude svn
externals) departed from the usual opt-in scheme, like is done for
git submodule or large files, in an attempt to keep the previous
behaviour unchanged, that is to download externals by default.
As an afterthought, we've concluded that the chances for svn-hosted
packages with externals that are indeed required to do the build,
are relatively slim. For those cases, it even makes sense to explicitly
requested the use of the externals.
So, we change the default to not download svn externals.
Since the generated archives may change, we bump the version suffix.
This will allow users to more easily catch the situation and decide if
they really need the externals or not.
We have a single in-tree package that uses svn, and it does not use
externals, so the generated archive does not change, and we just need
to update the archive filename in the hash file.
Finally, we add a new section to the manual, in the chapter about
migrating Buildroot to a newer version.

Like git which can have submodules, subversion can have externals. The
default behaviour for subversion is to retrieve all the externals,
unless told otherwise.
For some repositories, the externals may be huge (e.g. a dataset or some
assets) and may not be required for building the package. In such a
case, retrieving the externals is both a waste of network bandwitdh and
time, and a waste of disk storage.
Like for git submodules and git lfs, add an option that packages can set
to specify whether they want externals or not.
Since we've so far been retrieving externals, we keep that the default,
and packages can opt-out (rather than the opt-in for git submodules or
git lfs).
We must only set it when the package is actually hosted on svn, to avoid
passing -r when the package is not hosted by svn; otherwise, -r would
also be passed e.g. to a git-hosted package, triggering the download of
git submodules even when they are not requested. We need to do so,
because we have a default value, which we usually do not have in other
download options.

Cmake supports multiple generators. For now, Buildroot only uses the
venerable "GNU Makefile" generator, which generates Makefiles as the
build backend.
Cmake also has support for Ninja as a build backend, and provides the
corresponding generator. Ninja is a small build system with a focus on
speed. It is mainly used with the meson build system, but also cmake has
very good support for it.
Packages that are selecting Ninja (or over time another generator),
should also use the _BUILD_{ENV,OPTS} variables instead of the _MAKE
variables.
No _INSTALL{,_STAGING,_TARGET}_OPTS used so far, so reuse as cmake install opts:
$ grep '_INSTALL_OPTS' $(git grep -l -E '\$\(eval \$\((host-)?cmake-package))')
$ grep '_INSTALL_STAGING_OPTS' $(git grep -l -E '\$\(eval \$\((host-)?cmake-package))')
$ grep '_INSTALL_TARGET_OPTS' $(git grep -l -E '\$\(eval \$\((host-)?cmake-package))')
The _MAKE_{ENV,OPTS} are copied to _BUILD_{ENV,OPTS}, involved packages:
$ grep '_MAKE_ENV =' $(git grep -l -E '\$\(eval \$\((host-)?cmake-package))')
package/netopeer2/netopeer2.mk:NETOPEER2_MAKE_ENV = \
package/racehound/racehound.mk:RACEHOUND_MAKE_ENV = $(LINUX_MAKE_FLAGS)
(qt6, webkitgtk, and wpewebkit also match, but already use -Gninja)
$ grep '_MAKE_OPTS =' $(git grep -l -E '\$\(eval \$\((host-)?cmake-package))')
package/mariadb/mariadb.mk:HOST_MARIADB_MAKE_OPTS = import_executables
package/zeek/zeek.mk:HOST_ZEEK_MAKE_OPTS = binpac bifcl
Only "musepack" seems to overwrite MAKE to enforce -j1, so replace it:
$ grep '_MAKE =' $(git grep -l -E '\$\(eval \$\((host-)?cmake-package))')

Previously, the documentation only requested links to upstream commits
when backporting patches.
Based on a mailing list discussion [0], patches should, when possible
and when approriate, provide a link as evidence that the patch has been
submitted upstream.
The motivation is that hopefully the patch gets applied to upstream at
some point reducing the long term maintenance burden within Buildroot.
This also makes future patch review on subsequent package version bumps
more streamlined.
For patches that are unique to BR and do not apply to the upstream
repository, patches should have a comment explaining why they do not

Additionally, allow per-format depth. For example, split-html has a

Commit "45aabcddc5 utils/get-developers: really make it callable from
elsewhere than the toplevel directory" had a unforeseen side-effect:
the fact that check-developers with no arguments used to validate the
syntax of the DEVELOPERS no longer works. Indeed, the
parse_developers() call was moved *after* the check that verifies if
at least one action is passed. Due to this, the check-DEVELOPERS
verification in Gitlab CI, which invokes get-developers without
argument to validate the DEVELOPERS file... no longer does anything
useful.
In order to fix this, we introduce an explicit action in
get-developers to request the validation of the DEVELOPERS file. The
implementation is trivial, as the validation is already done by
calling parse_developers(), but at least now we have an action that
does "nothing", except execute until the validation is done.
This is also much more explicit than "invoke get-developers without
arguments to just do validation".
The initial investigation of the issue was done by Ricardo Martincoski
<ricardo.martincoski@gmail.com> and reported at
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/buildroot/patch/20220528014832.289907-1-ricardo.martincoski@gmail.com/,
but we have chosen to introduce a separate -v option rather than
making the validation part of the existing -c action, which serves a
different purpose.

As explained by Alan Kao, new customers are now all using RISC-V,

support any more.
There has also been little to no maintenance done in Buildroot for

package points to this website, they own asciidoc.org, Wikipedia points
to this project as well but their Git repo's README includes the
following paragraph:
> AsciiDoc.py is a legacy processor for this syntax, handling an older
> rendition of AsciiDoc. As such, this will not properly handle the
> current AsciiDoc specification. It is suggested that unless you
> specifically require the AsciiDoc.py toolchain, you should find a
> processor that handles the modern AsciiDoc syntax.

Remove override of FOO_{CONF_OPTS,DEPENDENCIES} in conditional

The doc-asciidoc infra allows document to define sources and resources,
and those can only be local (there is no download support for documents).
The currently documented way to specify those is to use the $(pkgdir)
macro to point to the document sources and resources when they are along
the .mk.
However, this works only for sources and not for resources.
Indeed, sources are used to generate Makefile dependency rules, so
$(pkgdir) is expanded and evaluated during the call to $(doc-asciidoc),
while resources are expanded and evaluated when the rules are executed,
which always happen after all the parsing has be done, at which point
$(pkgdir) expands to the last Makefile that was parsed, which is always
Buildroot's own manual.
This went unnoticed so far because Buildroot's manual is 1) the last to
be parsed, and 2) not using $(pkgdir) anyway.
Additionally, $(pkgdir) is mostly an internal macro, that is, as this
change demonstrates, difficult to use, and thus should not be used, in
packages or in documents.
We fix that by introducing $(FOO_DOCDIR), similar to $(FOO_PKGDIR),
which points to the document directory. We choose not to name the
variable FOO_PKGDIR, because it semantically is not a package.
As a consequence, the last argument to the doc-asciidoc macro is now
superfluous, so it is removed, which causes a little bit of churn in
the main macro. As a further consequence, the third argument in the
inner macro is no longer needed either, so it too is removed, which
causes a bit more churn yet in the inner macro.

Some software decides based on uid/gid whether a user is a system or
normal (human) user, with different behaviour for those flavors (example
journald [2]).
So adding logic to create system-users is necessary, we take the now
common ranges from [1].
This extends the mkusers script to allow -2 for uid/gid, this argument
will take an identifier from the user range. All identifiers used up to
now should have been from the system range, so -1 is now interpreted as
a system user/group.
Note that after this commit, all the UIDs and GIDs that are created
automatically (with -1) will change. That means if there is peristent
data on an existing system that was created by such an automatic user,
it will suddenly belong to a different user. However, this could already
happen before: if a USERS line is added to a package, then other UIDs
may change as well.
Add system/user ranges as variables, and the argument for user/system
uid variable as well. Thus some magic constants could be removed, some
further occurences of -1 were replaced with equivalent logic. For
consistency, the existing MIN/MAX_UID/GID variables are renamed to
FIRST/LAST_USER_UID/GID.
Update the documentation with the new automatic ranges.

From [1]:
"Even though the ordering has absolutely no consequences in Kconfig, it
is not logical (when reading). It is more logical and far easier to
understand when depends come first, followed by the selects."
Also, the Config.in example in the manual suggests to use this coding
style [2]."
Use the correct coding style in the chapter "Choosing depends on or select"
in the manual.

Commit 1ba85b7f87 (support/download: add explicit no-hash support)
introduced the 'none' hash type, in an attempt to make hash files
mandatory, but not failing on archives localy generated, like those
for git or svn repositories, especially for those packages where a
version choice was present, which would allow for either remote
archives for which we'd have a hash or VCS trees for which we could
not have a hash for the localy generated archive.
Indeed, back in the time, we did not have a mean to generate
reproducible archives, so having a hash file without a hash for
thosel ocally generated archives would trigger an error in the
hash-checking machinery.
But now, low-and-behold, we do know how to generate those archives,
and we have a mechanism to explicitly exclude some archives from being
hash-checked (e.g. when the version string itself can be user-provided).
As such, the 'none' hash type no longer has any raison d'être, we do not
use it in-tree, and its use in a br2-external tree is most probably
inexistent (as is the use of hash files alotgether most probably).
So we simply drop the support for that.

The Buildroot manual was already providing some details on how to
integrate Cargo packages, and those details now need to be updated
with a proper documentation for the cargo-package infrastructure, as
well as updates related to vendoring support, which affects how
dependencies are handled.
In addition, now that we have vendoring support for Cargo packages,
let's rewrite the dependency management section in a more accurate
way.
We drop the part about the local cache of the registry, because
+CARGO_HOME+ in Buildroot points to $(HOST_DIR)/share/cargo, which is
not shared between builds nor preserved accross builds, so its effect
as a cache is limited.

Add Secure File Transfer Program (SFTP) support using a simple wrapper.
SFTP is a common protocol used to transfer files securely between
enterprises, but it is not currently supported in Buildroot because all
of the packages are usually available via HTTP, git or some other
download method.
SFTP is similar to FTP but it preforms all operations over an encrypted
SSH transport using a specific protocol. This is unlike ftps, which is
traditional FTP over an SSL/TLS connection.
