I'm not specifically opposed to this, but then we are still missing
quite a few package-specific actions, of which the full list is
available in the manual:
http://buildroot.net/downloads/manual/manual.html#pkg-build-steps
Also, it is explained in details in the manual how (and when) to rebuild
a package:
http://buildroot.net/downloads/manual/manual.html#rebuild-pkg
Excerpt:
You can ask buildroot to [remove the package directory] with the
"make <package>-dirclean" command.
I believe we should only document the _very important_ commands in the
'make help' text, and direct the user to the manual for the others. E.g.
something like:
$ make help
[...]
Build:
all - make world
toolchain - build toolchain
<package>-rebuild - force recompile <package>
<package>-reconfigure - force reconfigure <package>
<package>-graph-depends - generate graph of the dependency tree for package
See the manual [http://buildroot.net/downloads/manual/manual.html] for
the complete list of per-package build actions.
[...]

Yann E. MORIN.
