tools/squashfs4: add new tool for squashfs4 images

2023-02-20T06:34:03Z

squashfs tool is finally reborn and correctly maintained. Introduce the new version as a replacement for squasfs4kit as it was a fork and also abandoned. Add additional patch to add the missing feature present in squashfskit4 but still missing on this new project. Backport each required patch that fix compilation error on macos.

tools/squashfs: rename to squashfs3-lzma

2023-02-18T20:11:36Z

The name of squashfs is confusing since in reality it's a really old version using an old lzma library. This tools is used for old ath79 netgear target and to produde a fake squasfs3 image needed for some specific bootloader from some OEM (AVM for example) Rename squashfs tool to squasfs3-lzma to better describe it. Rename the installed bin from mksquashfs-lzma to mksquashfs3-lzma. Use tar transform to migrate the root directory in tar to the new naming. Drop redundant PKG_CAT variable not needed anymore. Also update any user of this tool. Signed-off-by: Christian Marangi

libdeflate: Avoid circular dependencies

2023-01-17T20:01:54Z

CMake depends on (libdeflate-)gunzip, libdeflate depends on Cmake, so we can't win. Luckily libdeflate is _very_ easy to build, without any build system, so lets just manually compile it and be done with it. Signed-off-by: Olliver Schinagl Signed-off-by: Rosen Penev

tools: Improve diffability/maintainability

2023-01-17T19:54:05Z

Like with commit ae614fb397c2 ("tools: Improve diffability/maintainability") we also want tools-core to be easy to maintain. While a smaller target, it's still usefull and makes things nice and consistent. To avoid duplicating any tools in the comment, simplify the comment instead. Signed-off-by: Olliver Schinagl

tools/lzop: add `lzop` binaries

2023-01-16T23:51:10Z

Depends: `tools/liblzo` `lzop` is the standard executable for LZO compression the initramfs generator offers the LZO option but there was no executable to support it actually working Signed-off-by: Tony Butler

tools/liblzo: add `liblzo` library

2023-01-16T23:51:10Z

prerequisite of upcoming `tools/lzop` addition, and subsequent initramfs and squashfs cleanups same as `packages/lzo` modified to be a HOST/tools type build, and should always be the same version and sources when either one is bumped because this (and `packages/lzo`) only provide liblzo and no executables, use the clearer name `tools/liblzo` Signed-off-by: Tony Butler

tools/lz4: add `lz4` binaries

2023-01-16T23:51:10Z

same as `packages/liblz4` modified to be a HOST/tools type build with unified liblz4 (this is also the dev package for liblz4) the image initramfs generator offers the LZ4 option but there was no executable to support it actually working Signed-off-by: Tony Butler

tools: Add gzip-libdeflate advanced compressor

2023-01-02T09:15:37Z

Several devices provide U-Boot versions with only gzip compressed kernel support (e.g. Realtek switches). This compression method produces larger images than lzma. To save space on flash and avoid going the hard way with lzma-loader we can make use of enhanced gzip tool based on libdeflate compression library from https://github.com/ebiggers/libdeflate. It keeps 100% deflate/gzip compatibility while improving compression ratio. The image can be unpacked by the default inflate routines inside U-Boot.

tools: Improve diffability/maintainability

2022-12-24T10:54:10Z

There's no purpose to squish multiple tools into a single line (and spread those out over multiple lines). It might look 'nice' in certain conditions, but it's annoying to maintain. For example, but not limited to: * adding/removing tools, causes hard to read diffs * Duplicates are harder to spot * Sorting can not be (easily?) automated With this proposed change, the above annoyances go away. Inserting a new tool can be done with a single line-change-diff, sorting can be done by any editor (in vi, select, :sort for example) and dupes are much easier to spot.

mac80211: remove old legacy legacy drivers

2022-11-09T19:44:28Z

Get rid of drivers that are either limited to 802.11b/g or don't even support cfg80211/mac80211. Most of these are either limited to boards that we don't even support anymore because of firmware size, or were only used for custom hacks by a really small number of users in the past. Let's get rid of those to reduce the maintenance effort and the number of useless packages Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau
