buildman: Fix building based on 'options' field

2016-11-06T12:33:41+00:00

The README for buildman says that we can use any field in boards.cfg to
decide what to build.  However, we were not saving the options field
correctly.

buildman: Drop the 'alive' flag in BuilderThread

2016-10-09T15:30:32+00:00

This is not used, so drop it.

buildman: Don't show a stacktrace on Ctrl-C

2016-10-09T15:30:32+00:00

When Ctrl-C is pressed, just exited quietly. There is no sense in displaying
a stack trace since buildman will always be in the same place: waiting for
threads to complete building all the jobs on the queue.

buildman: Drop the 'active' flag in the builder

2016-10-09T15:30:32+00:00

This serves no real purpose, since when we are not active, we exit. Drop it.

buildman: Allow builds to terminate cleanly

2016-10-09T15:30:32+00:00

It is annoying that buildman does not respond cleanly to Ctrl-C or SIGINT,
particularly on machines with lots of CPUS. Unfortunately queue.join()
blocks the main thread and does not allow it to see the signal. Use a
separate thread instead,

buildman: Put our local libraries first in the path

2016-10-09T15:30:32+00:00

If patman is installed on the machine (e.g. in the standard dist-packages
directory), it will find libraries from there in preference to our local
libraries. Adjust the order of the path to ensure that local libraries are
found first.

buildman: Print a message indicating the build is starting

2016-10-09T15:30:32+00:00

Make it clear when buildman actually starts building. This happens when it
has prepared the threads, working directory and output directories.

buildman: Print a message when removing old directories

2016-10-09T15:30:32+00:00

When buildman starts, it prepares its output directory by removing any old
build directories which will not be used this time. This can happen if a
previous build left directories around for commit hashes which are no-longer
part of the branch.

This can take quite a while, so print a message to indicate what is going
on.
