tools: cache the configure results of ten autotools tools

2026-09-22T16:18:58Z

These ten hold up the wall clock on their own. Their configure stages run while nothing else does, because the tools build in dependency order. Measured over a full build, cold cache against warm: sed 21.68 s -> 1.22 s m4 21.48 s -> 1.22 s findutils 19.47 s -> 1.56 s tar 17.75 s -> 1.47 s cpio 14.28 s -> 1.26 s bison 12.81 s -> 1.29 s patch 12.16 s -> 1.31 s elfutils 26.58 s -> 15.47 s Each of the ten configures the same way with a warm cache as it does without one. The check runs configure three times, without a cache, with a cold cache and with a warm cache, and compares every file that configure generates between the first and the last. ncurses fails that check; these do not. The only difference left is ac_ct_AR and ac_ct_RANLIB, which a cold run fills through the fallback path of AC_CHECK_TOOL and a warm run leaves empty. AR and RANLIB are correct in both, and no generated Makefile reads the ac_ct_ form. tools/cmake keeps its 33 s, the longest configure stage in the build. It bootstraps with its own script rather than autoconf, so this does not reach it. Signed-off-by: John Crispin

tools: prefer gz or bz2 tarballs

2024-04-06T09:24:18Z

In the light of recent XZ events, and fundamental XZ issues lets work on moving away from using XZ. So, use gz compressed tarballs as sources whenever possible. dwarves only offers bz2 compressed tarballs, so use those as size difference is minor compared to XZ. Signed-off-by: Robert Marko dwarves

tools: assign PKG_CPE_ID

2023-09-19T18:21:33Z

The PKG_CPE_ID links to NIST CPE version 2.2. Assign PKG_CPE_ID to all remaining tools which have a CPE ID. Not every tool has CPE id. Related: https://github.com/openwrt/packages/issues/8534 Signed-off-by: Alexander Couzens

tools/sed: Fix handling of symlinks of 128 chars

2022-12-18T20:40:58Z

If the absolute path a symlink is pointing to is 128 bytes long sed failed with an error message like this: "/sedstbU8O: Not a directory" This fixes a problem building python seen in the build bot. This patch is on its way into upstream sed. Signed-off-by: Hauke Mehrtens
