actual source code is not scanned, but config directories are
scanned. simply get the checksum of each file under config/
pertaining to a given project/tree, and also for the given
target. coreboot utilities are also handled.
if it changes, in any way, delete and re-build automatically.
such deletions should probably still be done manually, as part
of understanding the build system, but this change should make
the build system much easier to use during development.

stub it from the trees script. the way it works now,
there is less code in the build system.
./build roms
this is no longer a thing
./build roms serprog
this is also no longer a thing. instead, do:
./update trees -b coreboot targetnamehere
./update trees -b pico-serprog
./update trees -b stm32-vserprog
the old commands still works, which causes the new
commands to run
coreboot roms now appear in elf/, not bin/, as before,
but those images now contain payloads.
NOTE: to contradict the above: ./build roms is no
longer a thing, in that it's now deprecated, but
backward compatibility is present for now. it will
be removed in a future release.
./build roms list also still works! it will do:
./update trees -b coreboot list
also:
./update trees -b grub list
this is now possible too
if a target "list" is provided, for multi-tree sources,
the targets are shown.
there is another difference: seagrub roms are now seagrub_,
instead of seabios_withgrub.
seabios-only roms are no longer provided, where grub is also
enabled; only seagrub is used. the user can easily remove
the bootorder file, if they want seabios to not try grub first.

e.g. ./update trees -f
if passed, this command would download every tree
similarly, the -c option can be used in this way. this
solves a longstanding issue: on the current, much more
efficient design, it was not possible to systematically
clean every project.

we override TMPDIR, setting it to /tmp/xbmk*C
if it's just set to tmp, that means we didn't set it properly,
which is a bug.
this patch protects against deletion of /tmp under such a
fault condition, if it were ever to occur in the future.

it's bloat. telling the user to rtfm is something that
we already do on irc; they will still ask how to do
everything, and ignore the message from badcmd(), or
they will automatically know to rtfm.
i'm on a massive purge, removing bloat from lbmk as
part of Libreboot Build System Audit 6.
all bloat must go.

prevent duplicate main instances of the build
system from running
the lock file is deleted when the parent process
exits, alongside the tmpdir deletion
the build system must only ever be run ot one
instance at a time, per work directory

instead, check for the presence of target.cfg files
not in config/project/ but config/project/tree/
the way this check is done, it merely returns 1 if
config/project/*/target.cfg is detected, and returns
0 in all other cases, even if config/project/target.cfg
exists
that way, if the maintainer accidentally adds a
target.cfg in the main directory, the given multi-tree
project will not break

this avoids writing the version/versiondate files as root.
this complements the previous fix, that avoided writing those
same files when running the dependencies command.
initial setup of the build system requires root, to run the
dependencies script, but otherwise the build system prevents
running as root for everything else, so we must avoid writing
the version/versiondate files as root.
that same avoidance is necessary when checking whether running
other commands as root; ironically, this check then prevented
running the build system at all!
the bug should be fully fixed now. i found this quite by accident
the other day, when testing something else.
good thing this got fixed because the release!

do it strategically, in just the right place so that the
version and versiondate files aren't written.
otherwise, version/versiondate are written as root and
the build system becomes unusable after that, unless you
reset the file ownerships from root. hardly user-friendly.
mitigate this bug.

adding help again is a bad idea. code should never
document itself; that's what documentation is for.
so, make the code do a better job telling the user
where to find documentation.

following on from the previous commit, if you run
something like "./build roms list" when running for
the first time from a codeberg tarball, the output
of the git commands will be included in the output

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()

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.

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
