[Buildroot] [pull request] Pull request for branch yem-misc-updates

[Yann E. MORIN]

From: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>

Hello All!

Here are a few version bumps related to the Raspberry Pi:
  - rpi_defconfig: bump kernel (many fixes, improvements)
  - linux-firmware: bump (new firmware files for WiFi dongles)
  - rpi-firmware: bump (new codecs, mostly)
  - rpi-firmware: select firmware(s) to install

Also, promote genext2fs as a host-package, too, like we have
for other filesystem generators.


Notes only slightly related to this series:

For the Linux kernel for the RPi, there are a few branches available in
the raspbberypi repository:
  - rpi-3.6.y: that branch seems stable, and I just bump to the latest
               cset in that branch
  - rpi-3.8.y: I've expereienced many MMC errors using that branch
  - rpi-3.9.y: ditto, many MMC errors

However, with a RAM-based rootfs (eg. initramfs) or a network rootfs
(eg. NFS), it might be possible to reliably use those two last branches,
as long as the SDcard is not used.

Booting one of those two branches with the rpi-firmware currently packaged
in Buildroot fails, so it seems we first need to update rpi-firmware before
switching to rpi-3.{8,9}.y.

I'll report back on any improvement in this area.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN

[Buildroot] [PATCH 2/6] package/linux-firmware: bump version for new firmware

[Yann E. MORIN]

From: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>

Bump version to get a few new firmware files for some WiFi adapters.

In the rtl81xx familly, it's hard to differentiate each members: I have
a USB stick that identifies itself as TRL8188CUS, but is handled by the
rtl8192ce driver. So I moved all of rtl81xx firmwares under the same
option to avoid confusion.

It will be the responsibility of the user to eventually get rid of
unwanted firmware files in a post-build script, if needed.

Ditto for rtl87xx.

[Buildroot] [PATCH 3/6] package/genext2fs: add host variant

[Yann E. MORIN]

From: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>

genext2fs is built only if the user selected an ext2 root filesystem.

However, some use-cases can't live with the full target/ dir on the
root filesystem, and requires separate partitions (eg. for /usr).
In this case, the user would not select an ext2 root fs in the
Buildrooot menu, and would only generate a tarball of the rootfs.
This tarball would then be used from a post-image script to build
the actual required FSes.

But then, genext2fs is not built, since the ext2 root FS was not
selected.

As for the other filesystem generators, provide a host variant of
genext2fs (genext2fs is already host-package aware, so only needs
adding a Kconfig entry).

[Buildroot] [PATCH 6/6] package/rpi-firmware: update

[Yann E. MORIN]

From: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>

Updating brings in a new bootloader that enables more free codecs:
    MJPEG, VP6, VP8, Ogg Theora and Ogg Vorbis

Also, the command-line definition has moved to its own file, now.
Although the legacy 'cmdline' variable seems to still be supported
for a little while, better switch now than forget when we upgrade
later.

Update the RPi board readme accordingly.

Signed-off-by: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>

That seems different from above where the default version doesn't have
any suffix?

Do we really need this? Can't people just delete the files they don't
want in a post build script like for everything else?

No, the firmware files will be installed as:

I guess the table above answers that.

Yes, it is possible. But since a single firmware will ever be booted,
there is no reason to install all of them in the first place.

This last option is here for people that want to switch firmware at
/runtime/ (ie. with just a mv from within the target).

Of course, I'm fine with this not going in (but I'd be sad, as I'd
have to tweak my post-image scripts. ;-) ).

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.

Warning, warning, warning: renaming of Kconfig options without
Config.in.legacy updates!

I must say I'm proud to be the one who mentions that, even after Peter
reviewed and committed the patch :-)

Gaah, I even thought about it when I saw it, but then forgot about it
again.

Yann, will you send a patch adding Config.in.legacy handling for the old
names?

Should I drop this for good, or is there still the slightest chance this
can go in? ;-)

  I would keep them much longer, at least three years. Most distros have 
a 3 year or more 'stable' branch, so anything inexpensive that we can do 
to approximate that is good I think.

I think we do, question is how soon? 6 months, 1 year?

They are not very expensive, so I suggest we keep them for 1 year.

Hello All!

This two-patch series adds some cosmetics to the legacy menu.

The first patch displays the removal date in the menuconfig, to show
the user how old the legacy options he's using are.

The second patch adds to the top-level comment, that legacy options
will be removed at some point in the future, and that non-updated
.config files may fail to build, or run, in unpredictable ways.

If we do not intend to remove legacy options, let's just drop patch #2,
of course.

Yann E. MORIN.

Hello All!

Here are a few versions bumps:
  - rpi-firmware, for a few fixes
  - rpi_defconfig, for a new kernel with some fixes and enhancements
  - tvheadend, for a few libav-related fixes

And a new package, w_scan, to scan for DVB channels without a pre-tuned
config file (the other dvb-apps scan utils require a pre-tuned config
file).

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN
