Lots of people are using broken text editors that 1. do not naturally
terminate text files with a final \n as is customary in UNIX text files,
and 2. do not respect our .editorconfig settings, which explicitly
require adding that final newline. See this nice summary of what a text
file is (with references to applicable standards):
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12916352/shell-script-read-missing-last-line/12916758#12916758
So, it is not surprising that read does not read the last "line" of a
file, when said "line" does not end with a newline, because it is thus
not really a line.
Even though we do mandate actual text files, let's be a little bit lax
in this respect, because people may write packages, and their hash
files, in a br2-external tree, and they may not have our .editorconfig
in the directory heierarchy (e.g. if buildroot is a submodule of their
br2-external tree, or whatever).
mapfile does not suffer from this limitation, though, and correctly
reads all lines from a file, even the final line-that-is-not-a-line.
mapfile was introduced in bash 4.0, released on 2009-01-20, more than
15 years ago. Debian squeeze, released in 2011 already had bash 4.1.
Those are really ancient. So, it means we can indeed expect bash
version 4.0 or later; which means mapfile is available.
"It should be fine!"

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 http://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.
