2010-12-11linux: add shorter shortcutsMike Frysinger
We only have one Linux kernel package, and "linux26-" is an anachronism in today's world. So add useful "linux-%" shortcuts to the "linux26-%".

2010-12-08ccache: rework ccache managementThomas Petazzoni
* ccache is now a normal package (both for the host and the target). * ccache option is now part of the "Build options" menu. It will automatically build ccache for the host before building anything, and will use it to cache builds for both host compilations and target compilations. * bump ccache to 3.1.3 Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard <jacmet@sunsite.dk>

2010-11-05Remove support for shared configuration cacheThomas Petazzoni
The configuration cache shared between packages, while being in principle a nice idea to speed-up the configuration of packages by avoiding repetitive identical checks, turned out to be unreliable due to the subtle differences between similar but not identical checks in different packages. After spending some time trying to fix those, we concluded that supporting the shared configuration cache is definitely too hard and too unreliable, and that we'd better get rid of it altogether. This patch therefore removes the shared configuration cache infrastructure and usage.

2010-10-23buildroot.html: html code clean-up and other issues - Part2Martin Banky
The current DocType declaration was incorrect. It is neither xhtml strict nor xhtml transitional. So, instead of dealing with that issue, converted it to validated Html5. Fixed white-space errors. Removed validator html4.01 code. Color corrected the code sections. Removed redundant or useless html code. Changed foo to libfoo, for consistency. Changed page bookmarking to use header id's. Re-flowed paragraphs to line break at 80 characters. Re-formatted the code sections for consistency and correctness. Kept all list items, headings, and href's on a single line (where possible).

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>

2009-03-23docs/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.
