[Buildroot] [PATCH 0/5] test-pkg: by default only test a subset of toolchains

[Thomas Petazzoni]

Hello,

During the Buildroot Developers meeting, we discussed how to make
test-pkg more usable for our contributors. Our idea is that test-pkg
should not test all toolchains by default, but only a smaller subset
of "interesting" toolchains, that exhibit the most common problems we
encounter with new packages.

This series does that by:

 - Fixing genrandconfig and test-pkg to ignore comments and empty
   lines in the toolchain CSV file.

 - Adjust the toolchain CSV file to have the interesting toolchains
   first, adding comments and empty lines along the way to clarify
   what is going on.

 - Update test-pkg to test only the first 7 toolchains, add a --all
   option to test all toolchains, and a --number option to test only
   the first N toolchains.

 - Update the Buildroot manual accordingly.

Thanks!

Thomas
