[Buildroot] [PATCH v2 0/1] Rebuild packages when their external config is updated

[Michal Sojka]

Hello all,

this is a follow up to the previous discussion at
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2014-May/095532.html
(Rebuild busybox when an external config is updated).

With this updated patch, I try to address the concerns raised there. The
concerns were:

1) Buildroot doesn't try to be smart to detect what needs to be rebuilt.

   That's true, but buildroot is smart enough to rebuild the package
   after "make $(pkg)-menuconfig". This patch extends the smartness a
   bit by considering not only the -menuconfig invocation but also the
   change of the external config.

2) This must be implemented consistelntly for all packages where the
   user can provide a .config.

   The functionality is now implemented in pkg-generic.mk so it applies
   to all packages.

If people agree with this I'll update the manual as well.

Best regards,
-Michal
