When Buildroot is stored in a Mercurial repository on a branch other than
'default' ('master' in git terms), setlocalversion (used to populate
/etc/os-release) will incorrectly think that this is a tagged version and
will NOT print out the revision hash.
This is due to the fact that the output of 'hg id' is assumed to be
"<revision> <tags-if-any>"
but when on a branch it actually is:
"<revision> (<branch>) <tags-if-any>"
To let setlocalversion receive the output it expects, explicitly ask 'hg id'
to retrieve only the revision hash and any tags, ommitting any branch
information.

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.
