Passing runtime configuration to tests in BRConfigTest class variables
requires the "fork" start method for multiprocessing. With
"forkserver" (default for POSIX platforms since Python 3.14) class
variables modified in the parent process are lost, because the child
process does not inherit the full Python state. This broke the way
support/testing/run-tests sets configuration for BRConfigTest, so a
start method override was added in commit
3d2141bcee.
Instead this patch adds a settings dataclass (requires Python >= 3.7)
which is serialized into an environment variable from run-tests and
read during BRConfigTest.__init__(). Reading is skipped if the
environment variable is not set so test discovery (not execution)
works without configuration (e.g. utils/get-developers uses this).
With that, run-tests no longer relies on a specific multiprocessing
start method.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at https://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on OFTC IRC.
