- Display active Buildroot versions as a table, similarly to kernel.org
- Add latest release date for all version
- Add expected End of Life dates for all versions
- Add link to the changelog
This makes the section much more compact, which makes it easier for
users to compare the versions and know what to expect from them

Currently, the manual doesn't mention the checkpackageignore file at
all, leaving the user under the assumption that running "make
check-package" and running utils/check-package directly on the package
they have touched would be equivalent, when the former evaluates the
checkpackageignore file while the latter does not. This could cause them
to forget to remove stale entries from that file.
Point out this difference in behavior.

Noteable changes:
- Add -Dipe=false and -Dsysupdated=disabled as defaults to CONF_OPTS and
HOST_CONF_OPTS. If another user has a use for either, they can submit a
patch at a later date.
- systemd-networkd now requires kernel >= 5.4 due to the inclusion of the
sockios.h header, which uses the SIOCGSTAMP_OLD macro. This macro was first
introduced in kernel 5.2, but the official README recommends 5.4 as a
baseline, so stick with that. Due to this change:
- systemd-networkd now depends on BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HEADERS_AT_LEAST_5_4
- default y only if BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HEADERS_AT_LEAST_5_4
- Add a section in migrating.adoc about the new requirement
- The sha256sum of README.md changed due to the addition of some CentOS CI
lines.
- Add the new license file LICENSES/alg-sha1-public-domain.txt.

Buildroot packaging pretty much assumes that the sources it downloads
are publicly available. In general, however, Buildroot is also used to
download sources from private repositories. Nowadays, that mostly means
from a github or gitlab instance.
Although git-over-ssh can be used for that, this poses a problem for CI,
because the CI runners integrated with github and gitlab only have
access to the repository itself, not to other private repositories. And
creating ssh key pairs for CI runners is tricky.
Therefore, document how standard tools can be used to make private
repositories available both to developers and to CI. There are quite a
few alternative approaches possible, but they're more complicated or
less generically applicable.

PYTHON_FOO_BUILD_OPTS are passed to the build module call of the package
build, this allows passing options to the python build *backend* by
using the --config-setting= option. setup.py is no longer involved since
even the setuptools backend now used the pep517 build method.

A basic Fedora 42 container does not have 'awk' installed, but it is
needed by Buildroot. First by check-host-python3.sh:
support/dependencies/check-host-python3.sh: line 6: awk: command not found
support/dependencies/check-host-python3.sh: line 19: awk: command not found
support/dependencies/check-host-python3.sh: line 19: awk: command not found
but then even building host-expat assumes awk is available:
config.status: creating Makefile
./config.status: line 1404: awk: command not found
config.status: creating expat.pc
./config.status: line 1404: awk: command not found
Since it's a pretty basic tool, make it part of the tools checked by
dependencies.sh. One minor annoyance is that check-host-python3.sh is
executed *before* dependencies.sh does its thing, so when 'awk' is not
available, we end up seeing:
support/dependencies/check-host-python3.sh: line 6: awk: command not found
support/dependencies/check-host-python3.sh: line 19: awk: command not found
support/dependencies/check-host-python3.sh: line 19: awk: command not found
which: no awk in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin)
You must install 'awk' on your build machine
make: *** [support/dependencies/dependencies.mk:27: dependencies] Error 1
It would be nice to have the awk check *before* it gets used in
check-host-python3.sh, but that's a topic for another patch.

The manual states that FOO_DL_OPTS are valid for all the different
download backends, but that is not the case: at least the git backend
does not use them (it does not fail, it just ignores them).
Accept FOO_DL_OPTS in the git backend, and pass them to 'git fetch'.
There is no way that we can pass such options to submodules or lfs,
though.
Update the manual accordingly.

Add the LTS sponsors who engaged already for 2025: EVS, Open Home
Foundation, and Sense Labs. There is one more sponsor but they prefer to
remain anonymous.
For Open Home Foundation, we can reuse the existing logo. For the other
two, add their logo.
Add a new class panel-lts-sponsor for sizing the panels. It is different
from panel-sponsor because there doesn't need to be space for an
explanation of what type of sponsorship is done, we just need to have
space for the company name. So the minimum height is 200px instead of
350px.

The Open Home Foundation logo is in a white area that is too large for
how we display it on the sponsors page. As a result, it ends up at the
bottom of the logo area and it looks very unbalanced.
Crop the logo to a tigher area. Since it is going to end up being
scaled, it's difficult to predict what the best size it is, but cropping
at a height of 300 pixels gives a visually pleasing layout at at least
some resolutions.

In commit ba70f94e62 (subversion makes it so we do not need a separate
tarball to store empty directories and symlinks for the target_skeleton.)
/etc/resolv.conf was made a symlink to ../tmp/resolv.conf. There was no
rationale behind this change, but back at the time (2006!), the only
location that Buildroot guaranteed to be writable was /tmp, and we
needed a writable location to create resolv.conf from a DHCP reply for
example, so the change made sense.
Commits 2f67d9e2fe (preparation for BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX_SKELETON), in
2007, then d9119c0bc5 (move default skeleton to fs/ and drop busybox
skeleton), in 2010, and finally 6c3e3ad419 (New top-level directory:
system), in 2012, propagated that /etc/resolv.conf without any change in
the target of the symlink.
However, since commit d380dde1d2 (skeleton: make /run a proper
directory/filesystem), in 2015, a tmpfs has been mounted on /run, so it
is now guaranteed to be writable as well for SYS-V-based systems. That
has also been the case for openrc since commit a840e485d1
(package/skeleton-init-openrc: new package), in 2019. This has also
always been the case for systemd as well.
resolv.conf is not a temporary file [0]; it is really more of a runtime
data; its location in /tmp is just a historical artefact of a long-wrong
assertion.
Nowadays, distributions either have an actual file as /etc/resolv.conf
(when /etc is writable), or it is a symlink to a location below /run.
Although resolv.conf is used by the C library resolver, a lot of
applications now will directly use it; this is the case for some
container management tools, such as podman (and its helpers, like
netavark), that expect /etc/resolv.conf to either be a file or a symlink
to somewhere in /run, and fail to provide DNS services if that is not
the case.
So, we move the target of /etc/resolv.conf to ../run/resolv.conf.
As a consequence, we can drop the workaround in podman's runtime test.
To be noted: there are tow custom fstab files in Buildroot that do not
explicitly mount a tmpfs on /run:
- one for a systemd runtime test, so /run would also be a tmpfs there
anyway, as systemd does mount one;
- one for the mender_x86_64_efi_defconfig; that's a not a problem:
/ is an ext4 that is mounted r/w (and /tmp is not a tmpfs either, so
the symlink to /tmp would not not have worked if / was not r/w
anyway).
This leaves people with their own fstab, to adapt. Cater to them by
adding a little blurb in the documentation.

Currently, only the -static extldflags may be set in the
golang-package infra. However, in some cases, it might be necessary to
pass other flags, either because they are needed on a specific
architecture, or a specific C library; packages may also have a need
to pass arbitrary linker flags when they use CGO linking.
For example, on AArch64, go forcibly uses ld.gold, but it is not
available in all toolchains, and ld.bfd works nowadays (following
patch); another case is musl, where PIE is not supported with go.
Introduce FOO_EXTLDFLAGS, which we use to set those flags, and that
packages can set to pass such flags.
Migrate the current setting of -static to use that new variable.
