The Qt5 packages may have different licensing terms between the two versions we support, and in some cases, those different terms are expressed in similarly named files, like files named plain 'LICENSE' for example. Similarly, glibc also has different license files, especially since the arc version still has libidn, which got dropped from upstream. This is problematic, because, in a .hash file, we can't store two different hashes for the same file. We've started to handle this case by moving the licenses hashes to the per-version sub directories. However, the hashes for the downloads are still stored inside the non- versioned hash file of the package, which is not totally coherent: if we have a per-version hash file, it should list all the hases for that version, downloads included, and there should be no unversioned hash file. In preparation for this, we duplicate the downloads hashes from the main hash files, and into the versioned ones. Once the download infra learns to look for those hashes in these per-version subdirs, we'll remove the unversioned hash files. Note that, now that we have versioned hash files, the main hash files will not be used to check license files, so we can already drop the hashes for license files from the main hash files. Note also that there are a few other packages for which we support different versions (binutils, gcc, gdb, lua, xserver_xorg-server, uboot), but none of those have different licensing terms due to the version. Qt5 and glibc are alone in this case. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

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
