Hey all,

I've pushed v2015.07 out to the repository and tarballs should exist
soon.

This sounds a bit like a broken record, but it's true.  The Kconfig
migration and DM work continue moving along.

Looking over the announcement for v2015.04, I see I said we'd deprecate
MAKEALL.  So I've applied http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/383960/
right after the tag.  If buildman isn't working for you and your use
case, we really need to talk.

The nice thing about MAKEALL was that I could simply grab a source
tree, and run the following to build in-tree:

CROSS_COMPILE=something ./MAKEALL foo

However, with buildman, some complex config file needed to be set up
to configure the toolchain (and I could never parse the docs to work
out how to create it in a new checkout), plus it made copies of the
source tree which takes ages for me.

Is there an equivalently simple way to invoke buildman that doesn't
require configuration and copying?

For no copying, --in-tree does what you want I think.

OK. Making that the default would be useful, or providing a buildman
wrapper script in the root directory that always passes this option.

For not
configuring a toolchain, there's two ways to go about this.  One would
be to do something like:

diff --git a/tools/buildman/toolchain.py b/tools/buildman/toolchain.py
index e33e105..bba60d5 100644
--- a/tools/buildman/toolchain.py
+++ b/tools/buildman/toolchain.py
@@ -159,7 +159,7 @@ class Toolchains:
                   " to your buildman config file %s. See README for details" %
                   bsettings.config_fname)

-        paths = []
+        paths = ['/usr', '/usr/local']
          for name, value in toolchains:
              if '*' in value:
                  paths += glob.glob(value)

And then any toolchains in /usr and /usr/local would be picked up and
used.  Another option would be to add --tool-chain-path DIR and throw
that into the above function.  Thoughts?

Does that find cross-compilers? IIRC I had to add the full compiler
binary name into the config file, not just a /usr search directory,
so I don't think the above patch is enough to make it work. What if
I want to use a specific cross-compiler and I have 4 different ARM
compilers installed in /usr? How would it know which architecture's
cross-compiler to use?

Well, how much are you expecting to Just Work without making a real
config?

The same way MAKEALL did; by honoring CROSS_COMPILE:-)
