Thomas De Schampheleire 8c5afd120e support/scripts: add size-stats-compare script
Leverage the CSV files produces by size-stats (make graph-size) to allow
for a comparison of rootfs size between two different buildroot
compilations.

The script takes the file-size CSV files of two compilations as input, and
produces a textual report of the differences per package.
Using the -d/--detail flag, the report will show the file size changes
instead of package size changes.
The -t/--threshold option allows to ignore file size differences smaller
or equal than the given threshold (in bytes).

Example output is:

Size difference per package (bytes), threshold = 0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       -8192         busybox
      228572   added dmalloc
      301584   added jq

or with detailed view:

a comment about this dependency, because it is mainly tied to
architecture capabilities (except in very specific cases, which would
be way too complicated to explain in a Config.in comment).

Yann E. MORIN f1856bd0f5 docs/manual: do not override BR2_EXTERNAL
Currently, we forcibly override BR2_EXTERNAL when building the manual,
so as to avoid referring to packages therein from the manual.

However, when generating the lists of packages, we limit ourselves to
scanning for packages in (Buildroot's) TOPDIR and never search in
BR2_EXTERNAL. So, we do not really need to override BR2_EXTERNAL when
generating the manual to achieve the same result.

Furthermore, we're only looking for packages that are defined in the
sub-menu "Target packages", and never anywhere else, and especially not
in the sub-menu "User-provided options".

Finally, we're soon to completely eliminate use of BR2_EXTERNAL in
Kconfig altogether, so that would no longer have any impact anyway.

So, just leave BR2_EXTERNAL alone when generating the manual.

Yann E. MORIN 07e5641339 core/pkg-generic: allow packages to exclude files when extracting
Currently, packages that need to exclude parts of the archives when
extracting (e.g. to gain space), like gcc or toolchain-external, have to
provide custom extract commands, just for the sake of adding a bunch of
--exclude directives when calling tar.

Add a new variable that packages may set, to provide a space-separated
list of patterns to exclude.

Arnout Vandecappelle 1e97b27873 ccache: support changing the output directory
When building in a different output directory than the original build,
there will currently be a lot of ccache misses because in many cases
there is some -I/... absolute path in the compilation. Ccache has an
option CCACHE_BASEDIR to substitute absolute paths with relative paths,
so they wil be the same in the hash (and in the output).

Since there are some disadvantages to this path rewriting, it is made
optional as BR2_CCACHE_USE_BASEDIR. It defaults to y because the
usefulness of ccache is severely reduced without this option.

In addition to CCACHE_BASEDIR, we also substitute away the occurences
of $(HOST_DIR) in the calculation of the compiler hash. This is done
regardless of the setting of BR2_CCACHE_USE_BASEDIR because it's
quite harmless.
