[Buildroot] [PATCH] gptfdisk: Add host package

[Yann E. MORIN]

Trent, All,

On 2015-12-08 23:27 +0000, Trent Piepho spake thusly:
> This tool is useful for scripts that create flash images with
> multiple partitions.  The host-parted package can do this too, but is
> missing a number of features that the gptfdisk program has for dealing
> with GPT.
> 
> The interactive gdisk and curses based sgdisk aren't built.  Just the
> scriptable tool sgdisk.  The target package allows configuring which
> tools are built, but this seem unnecessarily complex for the host
> package.

I agree. We normally do not have configurable options for host packages.
And since in this case only the scriptable sgdisj is really of any
interest, that's totally OK with me.

However, I have a few comments, see below...

The target variant needs libuuid from util-linux, so I guess you also
want to select BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_UTIL_LINUX.

I see below that you just added a build-time dependency. Although this
is usually enough for most host packages, you still need to do the
select in Kconfig since util-linux does have an entry in Kconfig.

Otherwise, that's good for me. Care to fix and respin, please? Thanks!
