Thomas, All,

On 2013-12-28 15:56 +0100, Thomas Petazzoni spake thusly:
> In 1cece2813bf635ae29e9a8287322439b9c5992f7 (grub: add option to
> configure the list of supported filesystems), we introduced the
> BR2_TARGET_GRUB_FS_SUPPORT option which allows to provide a
> space-separated list of filesystems that Grub should support.
> 
> However, it turns out that this not very practical, because the
> iso9660 filesystem logic in Buildroot should force the ISO9660 support
> to be enabled in Grub, which is not easy to do with a string option.
> 
> Therefore, this patch changes this option from a string option to a
> list of boolean option, one per filesystem supported.
> 
> A few useful details:
> 
>  - Since Grub legacy is dead, the list of filesystem, and therefore
>    the number of options, will not grow.
> 
>  - We have only added options for filesystems that are likely to be
>    used in an embedded Linux context. Filesystems such as VSTAfs,
>    Minix, UFS2 or FFS2 are not supported.
> 
>  - There is no need to add some Config.in.legacy support for the
>    previous option, since it was added after Buildroot 2013.11, and
>    was therefore never part of an official Buildroot release.
