recipetool: create: avoid decoding errors with Python 3

2016-07-08T08:57:24+00:00

We're opening source files with the default encoding (utf-8) but we can't necessarily be sure that they are UTF-8 clean - for example, recipetool create ftp://mama.indstate.edu/linux/tree/tree-1.7.0.tgz prior to this patch resulted in a UnicodeDecodeError. Use the "surrogateescape" mode to avoid this. Fixes [YOCTO #9822].

recipetool: create: add support for out-of-tree kernel modules

2016-03-02T23:08:51+00:00

Detect kernel modules by looking for #include , and handle the various styles of Makefile that appear to be used. I was able to use this code to successfully build a number of external kernel modules I found. Implements [YOCTO #8982].
