[Buildroot] [pull request v4] Pull request for branch yem-host-image-tools

[Yann E. MORIN]

Hello All!

This series adds a few host packages usefull for manipulating the
generated filesystem images.

It is of much interest now that the post-image series from Thomas
has been applied.

I plan on submitting sample post-{build,image} scripts demonstrating
use of those packages in the (hopefuly near) future (my current scripts
are working great, but need some cleanup first).


Changes v3 -> v4:
  - rebased on master

Changes v2 -> v3:
  - rebased onto the 'next' branch for Peter

Changes v1 -> v2:
  - use $(HOST_CONFIGURE_OPTS) instead of hand-crafted CC et al.  (Thomas)
  - use $(BR2_GNU_MIRROR)  (Thomas)
  - strip superfluous spaces  (Thomas)


The following changes since commit 203c30796e232faaf3a7de19090657bf3e7db16a:

Even though it is a host package, we could add:

GENIMAGE_LICENSE = GPLv2

Unfortunately, there is no license file.

I am a bit uneasy at adding licensing information for packages that are
purely host packages.

As you said in your other mail, this might confuse a user reviewing the
licensing terms.
But I will add it.

Thank you!

Yann E. MORIN.

I think this is not a good reason to not add the license. We already
have it in a number of packages that have a host variant. It should be
something for the licensing infrastructure to handle.

There's no license at all mentioned in the source code. It's true the
code is pretty trivial, but anyway. Maybe you could add:

GENPART_LICENSE = Currently being decided by authors

And contact the Pengutronix people to get your patches merged and ask
them to put a proper license in there.

Best regards,

Thomas

Path has already been accepted upstream, but they said they will probably
never ever make another release of genpart, which in their opinion has
been superseded by genimage.

I'll make sure to contact them to clarify the license.

Thank you!

[Buildroot] [PATCH 6/6] package/mtools: new host-package

[Thomas Petazzoni]

Yann, Luca,

Cc'ing Luca, there is a licensing infrastructure question below.

MTOOLS_LICENSE = GPLv3+
MTOOLS_LICENSE_FILES = COPYING

However, this makes me realize that we don't distinguish host packages
from target packages in the manifest.csv file. For example, once I had
the licensing informations for this mtools file, I have the following
line in my manifest.csv:

"mtools","4.0.18","GPLv3+","COPYING","mtools-4.0.18.tar.bz2"

And then, someone might think "damn, I have some GPLv3 software in my
system, I now need to comply with the additional special requirements
of GPLv3", while in fact it's not the case (as far as I know) because
mtools is not distributed on the embedded device. Maybe we need to
explicit which packages are on the target, which packages are on the
host, and which packages are on both, no?

Best regards,

Thomas

Yes, fully agreed; this would be very puzzling.

I would suggest that we not install licensing information about host
packages, unless they are also used on the target.

It would probably be sound in most cases, but not compliant to some
licenses, at least if there isa GPL package on the target.
Take what the GPLv2 saysin clause 3:

What do the "scripts used to control compilation and installation"?
We use a toolchain, the autotools, CMake, Python etc on the host to build
packages. While these tools are arguably more complex than the average
"script", they are "used to control the cpmpilation and installation".

Reading on:

While this is saying you do not need to redistribute the Debian compiler,
it is using "compiler" and "kernel" as two examples of the "scripts used
to control compilation and installation". Hence my understanding that the
toolchain should be redistributed, along with all of the host tools that
are used to build anything on the target.

As far as the mtools are concerned, they are probably not used to produce
the executables on the target, so they actually do not need to be in the
redistribution list. But most other host packages are different.

Indeed, in the practice I'm retty sure almost nobody modify autotools,
or CMake or other host packages, so even redistributing them would not
disclose much industrial secret.

Bottom line, I think it would be useful to save in the package manifest
an additional column stating whether the package is on the target, on
the host, or both. But skipping host-only packages is not safe.

I follow Luca's reasoning here. As we discussed on the Buildroot
Developer Day 2012, we will include the toolchain/host sources
precisely for the above reasons, and so they should be described in a
manifest. I also agree with Thomas' point about the confusion.

But, instead of an extra column, wouldn't it be more clear to separate
the legal-license manifest files for host and target packages? This
would result in a manifest-host.csv and manifest.csv. Packages that
appear on both host and target, would be present in both files. An end
user that is only interested in getting a list of target packages, can
find that info in a glance.

Best regards,
Thomas

  I agree. And I have a second reason for that: I have one customer who 
distributes an "SDK", i.e. host packages.

  Very good idea.

I don't know if creating a separate file is needed. Maybe just a need
field in the CSV that says if it's a host package only, target package
only, or both. But that's a minor detail, I don't have a strong opinion
between a single CSV file, and two CSV files, as long as it is possible
to identify what is on the target and what isn't.

Thomas

[Buildroot] [pull request v5] Pull request for branch yem-host-image-tools

[Yann E. MORIN]

Hello All!

This series adds a few host packages usefull for manipulating the
generated filesystem images.

It is of much interest now that the post-image series from Thomas
has been applied.

I plan on submitting sample post-{build,image} scripts demonstrating
use of those packages in the (hopefuly near) future (my current scripts
are working great, but need some cleanup first).


Changes v4 -> v5:
  -  add licensing terms  (Thomas)

Changes v3 -> v4:
  - rebased on master

Changes v2 -> v3:
  - rebased onto the 'next' branch for Peter

Changes v1 -> v2:
  - use $(HOST_CONFIGURE_OPTS) instead of hand-crafted CC et al.  (Thomas)
  - use $(BR2_GNU_MIRROR)  (Thomas)
  - strip superfluous spaces  (Thomas)

[Buildroot] [pull request v2] Pull request for branch yem-host-image-tools

[Yann E. MORIN]

Hello All!

This series adds a few host packages usefull for manipulating the
generated filesystem images.

It is of much interest now that the post-image series from Thomas
has been applied.

I plan on submitting sample post-{build,image} scripts demonstrating
use of those packages in the (hopefuly near) future (my current scripts
are working great, but need some cleanup first).

Changes v1 -> v2:
  - use $(HOST_CONFIGURE_OPTS) instead of hand-crafted CC et al.  (Thomas)
  - use $(BR2_GNU_MIRROR)  (Thomas)
  - strip superfluous spaces  (Thomas)


The following changes since commit 5ff6989445eac9ce59a5041c656bcb0319dce0eb:
