The old download location is very shaky resp. currently unavailable and
also other projects (e.g., Gentoo and Linux From Scratch) use this
location. Note, the archive hash does _not_ change.
By building the posix library as shared object with an ABI, we
effectively decouple posix-using programs from the library
implementation (which happens to depend on several os-level APIs such as
the VFS).
This commit moves the headers residing in `repos/base/include/spec/*/drivers`
to `repos/base/include/drivers/defs` or repos/base/include/drivers/uart`
respectively. The first one contains definitions about board-specific MMIO
iand RAM addresses, or IRQ lines. While the latter contains device driver
code for UART devices. Those definitions are used by driver implementations
in `repos/base-hw`, `repos/os`, and `repos/dde-linux`, which now need to
include them more explicitely.
This work is a step in the direction of reducing 'SPEC' identifiers overall.
Ref #2403
causes the rem timer callback pending check to run more often (every 1 ms
instead 10 ms). This is essential to met the timeout requirements of the
audio backend, which must be checked&run every 5ms.
This patch adjusts the interactive scenarios of the gems repository to
use the depot. This has three immediate benefits. First, once the depot
is populated with binary archives, the start time of the scenarios
becomes very quick because most dependency checks and build steps are
side-stepped. Second, the run scripts become more versatile. In
particular, run scripts that were formerly supported on base-linux only
(nit_fader, decorator, menu_view) have become usable on all base
platforms that have a 'drivers_interactive' package defined. Finally,
the run scripts have become much shorter.
Issue #2339
In order to deliver base-hw as a binary archive, we need to install the
bootstap.o file to bin/. Since bin/ is a global name space shared by all
kernels, this patch renames the object file to bootstap-hw.o and thereby
clarifies the association of the file with base-hw.
This patch replaces the set-defaults command by a reset command, which
is needed to use the Lenovo x250 trackpoint. (original patch by
Christian Prochaska)
