* This patch introduces two new targets which are designed to make the life of ↵Carl-Daniel Hailfinger2009-06-121-0/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | packagers easier In particular, it should no longer be necessary to patch the makefile for hassle-free compilation. The targets are: make export make tarball Both preserve svn revisions and the exported tree does not depend on subversion in any way or shape. Documentation for this feature has been added to README. We need this for five reasons: 1. Packagers currently have to patch flashrom source to compile it on systems without subversion. We should make it easier for them. 2. Snapshot tarballs currently have a .svn 1.5 directory included but this will cause errors for users with older svn 1.4. Not requiring subversion for snapshot compilation is best. 3. Since packagers seldom the svn revision in their fixup patches, some packages out there have incorrect or no revision, only major version numbers. 4. Releasing a new version of flashrom needs too many changes to the makefile which have to be reverted instantly after the release. That is unnecessary churn. 5. Making a release is easy with the change. Update the major version, then run "make tarball". Corresponding to flashrom svn r587.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Add explicit installation instructions in the README. - Code cleanups, coding style fixes, drop dead code. - Drop duplicate board listings from -L output (some boards were explicitly recorded in boards_ok[] _and_ implicitly via the board-enables table. - Add MS-xxxx numbers to MSI boards where we can find that info. - Fix typo, "K8T Neo2" should have been "K8T Neo2-F" actually, at least according to the comment of w83627thf_gpio4_4_raise_2e() which says "Suited for: MSI K8T Neo2-F".
