François, All,

On 2020-06-28 06:44 +0200, Francois Perrad spake thusly:

Since this is a fix, it should go in before the version bump. That way,
we can easily backport the fix to the stable branch (as Thomas already
pointed out).

If you do the fix after the version bump, ten the backport is les
trivial, because there will be merge-conflicts due to version mismatch.

There are a few other issues with it; see below. Care to address them
and respin please?

This has not been tested: this list is not comma-separated, otherwise
legal-info fails:

    $ make dropbear-legal-info
    ERROR: No hash found for LICENSE,
    cp: cannot stat '/home/ymorin/dev/buildroot/O/build/dropbear-2020.79/LICENSE,': No such file or directory

> +else
>  DROPBEAR_LICENSE = MIT, BSD-2-Clause, Public domain
>  DROPBEAR_LICENSE_FILES = LICENSE
> +endif

The way we uasually do that, is to unconditionally define the "base"
licensing information, and conditionally append to it. And since we
already have a condition for _SMAL, you should re-use it, like:

    DROPBEAR_LICENSE = MIT, BSD-2-Clause, Public domain
    DROPBEAR_LICENSE_FILES = LICENSE

    [...]

    ifeq ($(BR2_PACKAGE_DROPBEAR_SMALL),y)
    DROPBEAR_LICENSE += , Unlicense, WTFPL
    DROPBEAR_LICENSE_FILES += libtommath/LICENSE libtomcrypt/LICENSE
    DROPBEAR_CONF_OPTS += --disable-zlib --enable-bundled-libtom
    else
    [...]
    endif

Yann E. MORIN.
