buildman: Clarify the use of -V

2016-03-18T03:27:39+00:00

This option outputs to the log file, not to the terminal. Clarify that in
the help, and add a mention of it in the README.

buildman: Add a way to specific a full toolchain prefix

2016-03-18T03:27:39+00:00

At present buildman allows you to specify the directory containing the
toolchain, but not the actual toolchain prefix. If there are multiple
toolchains in a single directory, this can be inconvenient.

Add a new 'toolchain-prefix' setting to the settings file, which allows
the full prefix (or path to the C compiler) to be specified.

Update the documentation to match.

buildman: Allow branch names which conflict with directories

2016-03-18T03:27:39+00:00

At present if you try to use buildman with the branch 'test' it will
complain that it is unsure whether you mean the branch or the directory.
This is a feature of the 'git log' command that buildman uses. Fix it
by resolving the ambiguity.

buildman: Allow the toolchain architecture to be specified

2016-03-14T21:34:50+00:00

At present the architecture is deduced from the toolchain filename. Allow it
to be specified by the caller.

buildman: Allow the toolchain priority to be specified

2016-03-14T21:34:50+00:00

At present the priority of a toolchain is calculated from its filename based
on hard-coded rules. Allow it to be specified by the caller. We will use
this in a later patch. Also display the priority and provide a message when
it is overriden by another toolchain of higher priority.

buildman: Fix up a few code inconsistencies in toolchain.py

2016-03-14T21:34:50+00:00

Normally we use a single quote for strings unless there is a reason not to
(such as an embedded single quote). Fix a few counter-examples in this file.
Also add a missing function-argument comment.

buildman: patman: Fix -H when installed as a symlink

2016-03-14T21:34:50+00:00

It is convenient to install symlinks to buildman and patman in the search
patch, such as /usr/local/bin. But when this is done, the -H option fails to
work because it looks in the directory containing the symlink instead of its
target. Fix this.

tools: Update openrisc toolchain information

2016-02-24T23:44:11+00:00

Since commit 87da2690ab81b5f29f83dc85c55f933e6ef414bc
"openrisc: updating build tools naming convention", openrisc
kernel.org toolchain is out of date and cannot build U-Boot.
Update buildman and moveconfig tools to refer to the new one.

buildman: README: add links for toolchains not available on kernel.org

2015-12-11T03:34:23+00:00

Add links for toolchains not available on kernel.org.

The sh4 toolchains from kernel.org dose not work for some boards,
so use the sh from Sourcery.

buildman: Improve the config comparison feature

2015-09-09T13:48:03+00:00

At present buildman can compare configurations between commits but the
feature is less useful than it could be. There is no summary by architecture
and changes are not reported on a per-board basis.

Correct these deficiencies so that it is possible to see exactly what is
changing for any number of boards.

Note that 'buildman -b  -C' is recommended for any build where you
will be comparing configuration. Without -C the correct configuration will
not be reported since changes will often not be picked up.
