Environment variables "pollute" the build environment of packages and
can affect their output.
This change results in the removal of some files from packages that
were not meant to be packaged. It also removes the need for a
workaround in automake 1.10.3 to manually remove such files.
Variables are now saved in an .env file for each system and included
in scripts that need them using the dot operation.
- Rather than defining the urls where they are gotten (python sysa,
python sysc, inside sysc), a spec file is now used that is easily
interpretable and tool-independent.
- This is interpreted by rootfs.py and inside sysc.
- This is also used to make sources available and extract sources.
- Manual dirname selection is no longer required as is tarball renaming
upon download - all of this is handled automatically.
Fixes#188
Include:
- Not regenerated man pages.
- Automake tarball with bad time (and completely useless).
- Ordering of files within tarballs.
- Resetting timestamp various fixes.
- Older tars not properly overwriting files leading to many issues.
- Weird lack of reproducibility in libtool scripts paths to tools.
