The legal manifest currently stores the $(PKG)_VERSION variable.
However, that variable undergoes a set of changes so that it is
suitable for creating files and Makefile rules; that new value
is purely a technical, internal detail of how Buildroot handles
things.
In the legal manifest, we need access to the real value for the
version, as this is what will allow actual references to the
upstream package. If the version string is mangled, like slashes
replaced with underscores, this introduces ambiguities as to what
exactly the version is.
In Buildroot, there is no package, with a constant version, that
exhibits that issue; for those packages where it is possible to
set a custom git tree and version, like linux or uboot, such a
custom tree can have tags with a slash (not a colon or a space,
forbidden by git); packages in a br2-external can also use such
version strings as well.
The packages that do have such versions are not legion, but they
do exist. For example, Apache's ant buildsystem does use a slash
in their reelase tags, like rel/1.10.15:
https://github.com/apache/ant/tags
Change the legal manifest to include the actual, original value
as was set in the .mk 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 OFTC IRC. If you would like to contribute patches, please read https://buildroot.org/manual.html#submitting-patches
