[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] tcf-agent: bump to version 1.7.0

[Evgueni Tarassov]

Hi Thomas,

I was not aware Norbert had already sent a patch.

His patch appears to make other changes in addition to selecting newer 
version, like switching to make from cmake, some changes from after 
1.7.0, and support for static linking.
My goal was less ambitious: just version up to 1.7.0 - for now, and 
delete old patches - they are not needed anymore because of upstream fixes.
I'm new to Buildroot. So far, I don't even understand the need to switch 
to make or to support static linking of tcf-agent.
Anyway, I, personally, would prefer to handle tcf-agent issues upstream, 
through eclipse.org, without having patches in the Buildroot package.

Regards,
Eugene
