In commit 7fb6e78254 (core/instrumentation: shave minutes off the
build time), the built stampfile is used as a reference to detect files
installed by a package.
However, packages may install files keeping their mtime intact, and we
end up not detecting this. For example, the internal skeleton package
will install (e.g.) /etc/passwd with an mtime of when the file was
created in $(TOP_DIR), which could be the time the git repository was
checked out; that mtime is always older than the build stamp file, so
files installed by the skeleton package are never accounted for to that
package, or to any other package for that matters.
We switch to an alternate solution, which consists of storing some extra
metadata per file, so that we can more reasily detect modifications to
the files. Then we compare the state before the package is installed (by
reusing the existing list) and after the package is installed, compare
that to list any new file or modified files (in reality, ignoring
untouched and removed files). Finally, we store the file->package
association in the global list and store the new stat list as the global
list.
The format used for the .stat file is:
mtime:inode:perms:filetype:size,filename

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. If you would like to contribute patches, please read https://buildroot.org/manual.html#submitting-patches
