On Github, a large number of projects name their tag <some-prefix>-0.3-<some-suffix> (i.e release-3.0, poco-0.1-release, etc.). In fact majority of the cased adressed in this commit concerns prefixes. In most packages, we encode those prefix/suffix in the <pkg>_VERSION variable. The problem with this approach is that when used in conjunction with release-monitoring.org, it doesn't work very well, because release-monitoring.org has the concept of "version prefix/suffix" and using that they drop the prefix/suffix to really get the version. For example on https://release-monitoring.org/project/5418/ the latest release of "poco" is "1.8.1", not "poco-1.8.1-release". Therefore, a number of packages in Buildroot have a version that doesn't match with release-monitoring.org. Since really the version number of 1.8.1, is makes sense to update our packages to drop these prefixes/suffixes. This commit addreses the case of github-fetched packages with non-conventional prefixes/suffixes. Note that these changes modify the name of the files stored in DL_DIR, which means that this will force a re-download of those package source code for all users, and requires a change to their .hash file.

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.
