Hello All!
This series is an attempt at simplifying the way external toolchains are
extracted.
Currently, external toolchains use custom extract commands, because they
want to exclude a bunch of files during extraction, so as to save a bit
of space (locales in some toolchains can account for up to 80% of the
size of the toolchain as a whole).
And it turns out, gcc also wants to exclude a bunch of files (java and
go, testsuites).
Using custom extract commands means that those packages (and critical
ones, at that) can not benefit from the enhancements and fixes made to
the generic commands, like the automatic striping of components.
In this series:
- we first introduce the support for the exclusion list;
- we drop the hard-link dereference option to tar, it's useless when
extracting;
- we make gcc use the exclusion list;
- we then make the external toolchains use it (in two passes: one for
the non-Blackfin case, one for it, as it is 'seecial');
- we allow users to specify an exlcusion list for custom toolchains;
- finaly, we introduce the Codescape MTI and IMG toolchains from
Vincent.
Changes RFC -> v2:
- allow user to exclude files for custom toolchain (Romain)
- don't force --hard-dereference, it's useless; instead, drop it
- add the IMG toolchain
- use appropriate toolchain on x86 and x86_64
- rebase on top of master
Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
