Some git repositories may be split into a master repository and submodules. Up until now, we did not have support for submodules, because we were using bare clones, in which it is not possible to update the list of submodules. Now that we are using plain clones with a working copy, we can retrieve the submdoules. Add an option to the git download helper to kick the update of submodules, so that they are only fetched for those packages that require them. Also document the existing -q option at the same time. Submodules have a .git file at their root, which contains the path to the real .git directory of the master repository. Since we remove it, there is no point in keeping those .git files either. Note: this is currently unused, but will be enabled with the follow-up patch that adds the necessary parts in the pkg-generic and pkg-download infrastructures. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC. If you would like to contribute patches, please read https://buildroot.org/manual.html#submitting-patches
