MORIN Date: Sat, 7 May 2016 16:14:33 +0000 (+0200) Subject: core/legal-info: also save patches X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1273636fc686cd788b6de87be75dd0726cf8676c;p=buildroot.git core/legal-info: also save patches Currently, the legal-info infra only saves the source archive of a package. However, that's not enough as we may apply some patches on packages sources. We do suggest users to also redistribute the Buildroot sources as part of their compliance distribution, so the patches bundled in Buildroot would indeed be included in the compliance distribution. However, that's still not enough, since we may download some patches, or the user may use a global patch directory. Patches in there might not end up in the compliance distribution, and there are risks of non-conformity. So, always include patches alongside the source archive. To ensure reproducibility, we also generate a series file, so patches can be re-applied in the correct order. We get the list of patches to include from the list of patches that were applied by the package infrastructure (via the apply-patches support script). So, we need to get packages properly extracted and patched before we can save their legal-info, not just in the case they define _LICENSE_FILES. Update the legal-info header accordingly. Note: this means that, when a package is not patched and defines no LICENSE_FILES, we will extract and patch it for nothing. There is no easy way to know whether we have to patch a package or not. We can only either duplicate the logic to detect patches (bad) or rely on the infra actually patching the package. Also, a vast majority of packages are either patched, or define _LICENSE_FILES, so it is best and easiest to always extract and patch them prior to legal-info. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.
