one of the calling functions relies on the return value
to be always 0, so these error conditions in mkrom_tarball
have been altered to cause an *exit* (non-zero) instead.
in practise, the commands in question were printf commands
run after tho directory they output to had been created,
so write access would probably not be an issue.
nonetheless, technically correct is the best kind of correct.

The build system already deletes .git in all source
directories for each given release, but does so at
the very end; it still does, but now it is deleted
one by one per project, to save space during very
large builds (release sizes vary wildly, depending
on how many trees exist for coreboot basically).
If you're building entirely in tmpfs (as I do), this
could be a problem if you have lots of .git/ directories.
This change reduces disk usage, or in the above example,
memory usage when running the build system from tmpfs.
This complements another recent change, where ROM images
are compressed per target during release builds, rather
than all at the very end of the process. It is part of a
series of optimisations, to reduce the memory and disk
usage of the build system, and to reduce I/O wastage
in general.
This change will not be the last of such changes!

when running the inject logic, we should still initialise
the git repository because these commands make use of the
coreboot build system which requires git.

an equivalent change has been made in cbmk.
certain lbmk-specific variable names have been made
generic, with certain functions and other variables
moved around.
i maintain sync between libreboot and canoeboot, where
both projects can have the same behaviours, and most of
the merge conflicts have to do with variable names
containing "LBMK", "lbmk", "cbmk" or "CBMK", or
indeed "canoeboot" and "libreboot"
LBMK/lbmk/CBMK/cbmk variables between canoeboot and
libreboot now contain the string XBMK/xbmk
it should now be *much* easier to merge build system
changes between lbmk and cbmk.

i always say, code should never document itself.
that's what documentation is for. the releases
contain documentation under docs/ but the git
repository does not; for that, use the website.
(in practise, lbmk usually needs internet anyway)

it's only used from main() in the main build script,
and it's very small, as is main()
therefore, move the logic into main()

it's a pointless feature, initially added just to one-up
gnuboot and only intended for canoeboot, to provide u-boot
tarballs with deblobbing. this was done, because the parabola
build system has certain limitations so the idea is to provide
them with tarballs. but why? they can just fix their build system...
delete this bloat from lbmk. we only need to provide full sources,
and rom images.
Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
in lbmk, we call check_project() to set variables
such as projectname, version, version date
this is unnecessary, because all main scripts use
this functionality anyway

releases aren't reproducible anyway. we were
using options available in gnu tar for this.
it will be revisited at a later date. however, the next
time this is done, we will use another method because
there are in fact portable ways to create tarballs
reproducibly, documented on reproducible-builds.org
to be revisited, at a later date. for now, remove bloat.

it's only called once, from this file, within a small
function, and the function itself is very small.
remove, and put the contents of the function in the
calling function.
Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
this function is not needed, because it's only called
once and it's very small.
furthermore: insert_version_files does ntot need to be called here,
because they same files are generated immediately afterward when
running that version of lbmk.

export LBMK_RELEASE="y"
if this is done, the tarball is created instead
of a directory, and the rom images are nuked using
./vendor inject with the nuke option, inserting the
correct version files; the rom directory is deleted
now the release script logic simple renames existing
tarballs. the benefit of this change is fewer lines of
code, and now lbmk doesn't use an insane amount of disk
space when building a *lot* of release images (the
uncompressed directories are deleted after each build)

broadwell mrc is retained, because it's needed on 820 g2
it's no longer needed on haswell, because nri is stable. nri
is short for "native ram initialisation", and libreboot provides
this for: thinkpad t440p, thinkpad w541, dell optiplex 9020 mt,
and dell optiplex 9020 sff
remove, in line with libreboot's binary blob reduction policy
previous revisions, prior to the recent release, stated that
it would be retained for compatibility, but it's really not
right to retain it, because doing so violates libreboot's policy
the recent release excluded mrc-based rom images for haswell
machines, providing only those rom images that use the libre
raminit, while retaining support for mrc in the build system, so
that users could still run the lbmk inject script on older release
roms that use mrc
again: libreboot's binary blob reduction policy is very clear:
https://libreboot.org/news/policy.html
it is a policy that can be summarised, thus:
if a blob can be avoided, it must be avoided.
therefore, we will avoid the Haswell MRC raminit blob

the release variable is all we need, turning a target on
or off for a given release.
the status checks were prone to bugs, and unnecessary; it
also broke certain benchmark scripts.
it's better to keep the lbmk logic simpler. board status
will be moved to the documentation instead.
Signed-off-by: Leah Rowe <leah@libreboot.org>
there are only two scripts under script/ now, and there
probably won't be many more. lbmk's design has simplified
to such a degree that the two-level directory structure is
no longer necessary.
the existing command structure has not changed. for example:
./build roms list
./update trees -f coreboot default
these will still work, but the symlinks to "build" are now
strictly for backwards compatibility; they may be removed
at a later date, but i'll keep the current design for now.
this also leads to a quirk, for example:
./build roms all
./update roms all
these now do the exact same thing, whereas "./update roms all"
would have previously been an invalid command.
