Summary: Target Skeleton Update
Description:
Currently, there are two mechanisms for creating the target root filesystem
skeleton. The first mechanism uses a tarball containing a root filesystem
skeleton. The second mechanism overlays a directory tree on-top of the
target root filesystem. Buildroot currently uses both of these mechanisms
concurrently.
A deficiency of the current directory tree overlay mechanism is that it
only works for files -- directories must already exist (ostensibly from
the tarball skeleton).
The attached patch resolves this deficiency. A side-effect of this is that
the tarball mechanism can be deprecated and the directory tree overlay can
entirely supercede it. This has [obvious and] significant advantages in
terms of version controlling the root filesystem skeleton.
This patch also makes a tweak that allows TARGET_SKELETON,
TARGET_SKEL_DIR, and TARGET_DEVICE_TABLE to be overridden correctly.
