2009-10-30documentation: insist more on why output/target/ should not be usedThomas Petazzoni
A lot of people complain that the root filesystem generated by Buildroot doesn't work because it lacks the device files. This is because they use output/target/ instead of one of the images. Therefore, insist in the documentation on this point. Even though I'm unsure if users really read the documentation :-) Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com>
2009-10-18docs/buildroot.html: remove mention of skel.tar.gzPeter Korsgaard

2009-10-15busybox: invert hide optionPeter Korsgaard
Invert the BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX_HIDE_OTHERS option to use positive logic, renaming it to _SHOW_OTHERS. Positive logic is simpler to understand, and it makes all{,package}config do the right thing. Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard <jacmet@sunsite.dk>
2009-10-04buildroot; move defconfigs to configs/ and print in helpPeter Korsgaard
As discussed earlier on the mailing list. It simplifies code, gives more sensible error message on typos and makes the defconfigs easier to find for users. Furthermore, update documentation to match. Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard <jacmet@sunsite.dk>

2009-03-23docs/buildroot.html: remove reference to unused BUILDROOT_USE_XWINDOWSPeter Korsgaard
2009-03-18pkgconfig: add pkgconfig package for targetPeter Korsgaard
The host versions shouldn't be visible in Kconfig, so remove the reference to BR2_PACKAGE_PKGCONFIG everywhere and prefix the host targets with host-. At the same time add pkgconfig for the target (E.G. for development) and let BR2_PACKAGE_PKGCONFIG control that package. Notice: all defconfigs in the tree have been updated, but make sure to disable the pkgconfig package (unless you want it) if you use an external config, otherwise you'll end up with pkgconfig and glib2 in the target.

As discussed on the list.
2009-01-26Create a common BR2_COPYTO to prepare to replaceUlf Samuelsson
all the different COPYTOs spread out all over Buildroot. Generate COPY_FILE subroutine which can be used to copy a file. $(COPY_FILE , file, directory, filename) This will copy to binary dir and to the selected copy dir if set in new config (intended to replace all old COPYTO configs) This is overridden by BUILDROOT_COPYTO, if set into the environment.
2009-01-26Update documentation with BUILDROOT_USE_XWINDOWS, & linux cleanupUlf Samuelsson
2009-01-16buildroot: add BR2_BACKUP_SITE and DOWNLOAD helperPeter Korsgaard
This is the long requested backup mirror support. So far only enabled for Makefile.autotools.in, but there's no reason why we cannot use DOWNLOAD everywhere. Notice, I'm still syncing http://buildroot.uclibc.org/downloads/sources/
