e2fsprogs is only needed to build the btrfs-convert program, that allows to convert an existing ext2 filesystem into a btrfs filesystem. Not everybody needs to do that and making this dependency optional is nicer, so this is what this patch does. Note that btrfs-progs also supports converting from reiserfs, which is why the --with-convert option supports a list of filesystems. Since Buildroot has no package for the reiserfs library, we for now only support the ext2 case, with e2fsprogs as a dependency.

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 Freenode IRC.
