2012-04-22	Remove trailing 's' from variable name	Mark Ferrell

2012-04-22	Fix prep state in makedeps	Mark Ferrell

2012-04-20	Make build-archive executable	Mark Ferrell

2012-04-20	Revert build-archive functionality	Mark Ferrell
	* Instead of merging prep/compile/archive into 1 command I have reversed direction slightly. The individual stages/commands will be maintained as separate scripts, but they will no longer create time-stamp files so that they always get executed every time.
2012-04-20	Merge build-archive and build-compile	Mark Ferrell

2012-04-20	The build-distclean command is no longer useful	Mark Ferrell

2012-04-20	Enhancement: process builds inside TMPDIR	Mark Ferrell
	* In order to avoid thrashing a filesystem with transient objects during the build process, and thus getting stuck within the I/O scheduler, we now perform all builds themselves within BUILDER_TMPDIR. This way the tmpdir path can be mounted as a ramfs, such as tmpfs, and avoid thrashing physical storage, particularly journals on a journalled filesystem.
2012-04-20	Bugfix: cleanup packages_fetch	Mark Ferrell
	* The fetch target does not depend on any single package, instead it depends on all possible sources.
2012-04-20	Bugfix: typo in variable name	Mark Ferrell

2012-04-19	Properly reference the category path	Mark Ferrell

2012-04-18	Correct variable typo	Mark Ferrell

2012-04-18	Include package category in artifact path	Mark Ferrell
	* Instead of relying on CBUILD and CHOST it is easier to simply archive packages within their category inside of the artifact directory.
2012-04-17	Pickup current variables as well as ENV vars	Mark Ferrell

2012-04-17	Split the sync stage into fetch+prep	Mark Ferrell
	* At the core of the issue is that multiple packages can depend on the same sources. To that end, the sources themselves need to be represented independant of the packages which require them, as well as needed to be archived/maintained independant of the packages. To do this we have split the fetch action out separate of the prep action, thus fetch actions are only related to the source archives, and the prep action is how a package extracts said archive for use by a specific package.
2012-04-17	Do not exec 'make'	Mark Ferrell
	* exec()'ing 'make' results in losing our ability to cleanup temp files.
2012-04-17	Properly enable debugging	Mark Ferrell

2012-03-30	Allow Category Buildrules	Mark Ferrell
	* A category directory can now contain a .buildrules file which is is evaluated before importing the package specific Buildrule. This allows packages to be organized based on common build information, such as toolchain data, or the 3 stages of producing the GCC compiler * Removed the hard-coded assumption of the buildtools category being a toolchain and instead moved the data back into the TOOLCHAIN variable which I am now setting via the CATEGORY buildrule
2012-03-30	Don't query the 'all' psuedo package	Mark Ferrell

2012-03-30	Properly prep compile environment	Mark Ferrell

2012-03-30	Clobber the workdir w/out all the overhead	Mark Ferrell

2012-03-30	Support toolchain path	Mark Ferrell
	* Properly split out installation based on packages being part of the toolchain or not.
2012-03-30	Cleanup generated Makefile	Mark Ferrell

2012-03-28	Build infrastructure change...	Mark Ferrell
	* Renamed build-info to build-query. The build-query tool is now responsible for looking up pretty much any and all package information, and all of the tools should use it instead of making assumptions about paths. * Redesigned the package structure to support <category>/<package>. When a request is made that excludes the <category> then the <project_name> is assumed to be the category. * Currently anything in the buildtools/ category is not cleaned up during build-clean. In the future there will be a NOCLEAN option as a category rule that the Buildrules file implicitly inherits.
2012-03-25	Add .gitignore	Mark Ferrell

2012-03-24	Support build configs	Mark Ferrell

2012-03-24	If no arguments are given build everything	Mark Ferrell
	* Changed builder to assume 'build all' when no arguments are given. This results in a 'build <package> all' assumption when within a package subdirectory
2012-03-23	Fix resolution of package directory	Mark Ferrell
	* When no package is specified on the command line we check to see if the PWD is within a package path, if so we use that package name. Unfortunately the variable expansion wasn't removing sub-directories below the package from the name, which broke things.
2012-03-23	Rename bin/ to scripts/	Mark Ferrell

2012-03-23	Fix cleanup during clean/distclean	Mark Ferrell
	* Added a workdir variable ${W} which references the ${BUILDER_PKGDIR}/${NAME}/build, which allows distclean to clobber the entire workdir directory structer as opposed to just the extracted source directory structure.
2012-03-23	Fix argument ordering	Mark Ferrell
	* Corrected the argument ordering so that they match the documentation and they are closer to what one would expect in any normal CLI * Enhanced the interface slightly so that when no target is specified, the target is picked based on ones current location within the tree. Thus 'build clean' outside of a package is the equvilant to 'build clean all', but 'build clean' while inside of package/foo is the same as 'build clean foo' * You can now specify multiple targets on the command line. I.e. build clean foo bar
2012-03-23	Add support for a distclean target	Mark Ferrell
	* The 'clean' target will no longer destroy any packages flagged as members of the toolchain. Instead toolchain packages will be marked as no longer installed such that the toolchain artifacts will be extracted instead of rebuilding the toolchain. * To clean all packages including the toolchain a 'distclean' target has been added.
2012-03-23	Improve handling of package paths	Mark Ferrell

2012-03-23	Make the archive time match the compile time	Mark Ferrell
	* Due to the nature of the parallel build process we need to make the timestamp on the archive match the timestamp on the log/.compiled file, else targets may be rebuilt unecesarily.
2012-03-23	Do not run in a subshell	Mark Ferrell
	* For whatever reason the subshell does not seem to obey 'set -e'. Removing execution of pkg_compile() from the subshell as we don't actually do anything after that which involves changing directories, which was the majority of the reason for running in a subshell to begin with.
2012-03-23	Make the archive time match the compile time	Mark Ferrell
	* Due to the nature of the parallel build process we need to make the timestamp on the archive match the timestamp on the log/.compiled file, else targets may be rebuilt unecesarily.
2012-03-23	Create directies as necessary	Mark Ferrell
	* Need to validate that our source and artifact directories are created before we attempt to use them.
2012-03-19	Improve logging within build-compile.	Mark Ferrell
	* Bad redirection was truncating compiling log * Added ENV data to the start of the compile log to aid in debugging.
2012-03-19	Do not pass down MAKEFLAGS.	Mark Ferrell
	* Do not allow child-processes to inherit MAKEFLAGS as the job control descriptor is lost when calling build-compile.
2012-03-19	Be able to handle everything under the target	Mark Ferrell
	* The '' pattern will fail to match .[a-zA-Z0-9], so instead we use find to traverse the target.
2012-03-19	Move logging out of the generated Makefile.	Mark Ferrell
	* In the long run we need to have fine-grained control over the logging interface. To pull that off we need to migrate all logging out of the Makefile infrastructure and instead handle it within the build scripts.
2012-03-19	Execute scripts with set -e.	Mark Ferrell
	* In order to avoid the entire "cmd \|\| exit 1" scripting habbit on every line I am attempting tomodify the scripts so that they execute with set -e. Alas, this poses some interesting problems with pipes.
2012-03-19	Set common compilation environment variables.	Mark Ferrell
	* This is a temporary stop-gap. All of these variables need to be set, but they need to be done so in a universal fashion relative to the target configurations for the build-tree. Currently setting them in build-compile to figure out what all is needed and to clean up the compilation process.
2012-03-19	Allow multiple archives in the SOURCE_URI	Mark Ferrell

2012-03-14	pkg_compile() fixups	Mark Ferrell
	* Allow Buildrules to specify CONFIG_OPTS instead of overloading pkg_compile() to specify a custom ./configure line * Default pkg_compile() should make use of the global MAKE_OPTS
2012-03-14	Eliminate libbuilder.sh	Mark Ferrell
	* The 'build' command is now capable of acting as a script-wrapper for sub-commands. This elininates the libbuilder.sh script and the fairly verbose checking for libbuilder.sh in every sub-command.
2012-03-14	Add support for handling http/ftp url's	Mark Ferrell

2012-03-13	Initial checkin of the Builder engine.	Mark Ferrell
	* The Builder build engine is now working sufficiently enough to warrent a proper SCM checkin. I have been adding enhanced functionality to the system that demonstrates that I am approaching the end of the proof-of-concept phase.
