2016-10-18Fix builds of the ppp recipe with most toolchainsChristopher Larson
A patch in oe-core is needed, at this time, to fix builds with linux-libc-headers from the 4.8 Linux kernel or newer, which is not the case for most external toolchains. Unfortunately, this patch also breaks the build of ppp with older linux-libc-headers, so we need to revert it. A note in the README is added explaining how to disable this for external toolchains with recent enough kernel libc headers. Signed-off-by: Christopher Larson <chris_larson@mentor.com>

2016-08-15README.md: shorten 'Description of Behavior'Christopher Larson
This is a readme, I think it being descriptive is a given. Signed-off-by: Christopher Larson <chris_larson@mentor.com>
2016-08-15README.md: remove 'no longer necessary'Christopher Larson
This phrase implies knowledge of the build process or the layer history which is not always the case. Signed-off-by: Christopher Larson <chris_larson@mentor.com>

2014-12-19Split up external-sourcery-toolchain into separate recipesChristopher Larson
common-license.bbclass will set LIC_FILES_CHKSUM to a common license file based on LICENSE, which is appropriate for a case where we have no sources to refer to. external-toolchain.bbclass, among other things, handles extraction of files in the external toolchain sysroot, based on patterns in the FILES variables, checking alternate locations to better support any arbitrary toolchain, and has basic mirror handling for checking multiple paths within the sysroots. Under normal circumstances, I'd want this to use highly granular commits, but this branch has been extremely long lived (>1yr) and is such an invasive refactoring that attempting to break it down now would be of limited usefulness.

2013-10-15README.md: cover CSL_SRC_FILE for rebuild-libcChristopher Larson
2013-07-25README.md: reformat optional functionality as a headerChristopher Larson
2013-07-25README.md: add description of how the layer worksChristopher Larson
This information should be informative, covering exactly what the layer.conf and tcmode file are doing. In addition, it should address concerns about configuration migration from old versions of oe-core, without explicitly instructing the user in steps they may not need to perform. This also adds instructions on the use of `external-sourcery-rebuild-libc`.
