Hi,
Integrating the feedback from the first series sent last week, here comes the
promised resend.
What changed from the first batch?
- the BR2_GIT, BR2_SVN_CO and BR2_SVN_UP configuration options have been
cleaned up into BR2_GIT="git" and BR2_SVN="svn" and the defconfig files
updated (I know there has been some discussion about the defconfigs
recently on the list... this seems to be a hot subject in the community
right now :-)
- the download method autodetection from the URI scheme has been added,
taken from Luca's patch and integrated into mine.
- tar --exclude-cvs is no longer used, in favor of per-VCS techniques:
* `git archive --format=tar ... | gzip -c ...` for Git
* `svn export ... && tar czf ...` for Subversion
- libsvgtiny now benefits from the download method autodetection
Once we get to a general consensus that these are good improvements, I'll start
looking more actively on how to bring back the "spider"/source-check feature,
which hopefully shouldn't be to much trouble.
Regards,
- Maxime
