This change adds inode tracking to the size-stats script so that hard links don't cause files to be double counted. This has a significant effect on the size computation for some packages. For example, git has around a dozen hard links to a large file. Before this change, git would weigh in at about 170 MB with the total filesystem size reported as 175 MB. The actual rootfs.ext2 size was around 16 MB. With the change, the git package registers at 10.5 MB with a total filesystem size of 15.8 MB.

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.
