[Buildroot] [PATCHv2 0/4] Add a BR2_EXTERNAL mechanism

[Yann E. MORIN]

Hello All!

On 2013-09-14 21:03 +0200, Thomas Petazzoni spake thusly:
> Here is the second version of the BR2_EXTERNAL patch series.

I was wondering what the plan with BR2_EXTERNAL was, in the end?

>From my recollection of the last DevDay, I understood we would go with
it, with a few changes:
  - add a generated, sub-makefile in $(O) with the definition of
    BR2_EXTERNAL, so that it is not needed to repeat it on the command
    line of future invocations of 'make'
  - enforce the same directory layout, package/ board/ and configs/

Right?

If so, Thomas, since your the original submitter: do you have pending
changes to that effect, or are you waiting for someone to kick in and
continue the work on this patch series?

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
