Romain Naour 1ca6ab6ace support/testing: add github download helper testing
Back in 2013, a github download helper has been introduced to cope with
changes in github download-URL's [1][2].

Since then a testing infrastructure has been introduced in Buildroot
but no tests has been added to check if the github download helper is
still working.

It was reported recently [3] that the github helper doesn't work anymore
using tags. Buildroot is not the only project having the issue, see
Github feedback discussions [4].

Add tests for direct archive download (archives uploaded by maintainers),
download from a git tag and git hash using the github helper.
Make sure that Buildroot doesn't use BR2_BACKUP_SITE
(http://sources.buildroot.net).

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.
