Hello All!
Every now and then, someone will ask why Buildroot has no support for
generating binary packages.
Rather than re-hash the same answer every time, the following patch
adds a section in the FAQ in the manual, that we can point users to.
The patch is two-fold:
- first, a (slightly tweaked) copy-paste of the report of a Developpers
Day we had in Pragues, in 2011;
- second, a position statement about the issue.
The position statement might be a bit strong in its wordings, so I would
very much appreciate comments about that.
If all agree, I'd suggest this gets in for 2014.02.
Changes v2 -> v3:
- some grammar and typographical fixes (Danomi, Arnout, Thomas P)
- remove conversational tone (Danomi, Samuel, Thomas P)
- remove reference to prototype (Samuel, Thomas P)
- last item in position statement (Thomas P)
- misc typoes (All)
Changes v1 -> v2:
- copy the report from the DevDay (Thomas P)
Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
