[Devil-linux-develop] tweaking the build system

[Friedrich L. <fl...@fl...>]

Hi!

As I currently want to test only one of the build scripts at a given
time I did patch the build script a little bit. Let me show you what
you can do now:

  * chroot to devil-linux build tree
  * cd /data/build (should be automatically there after a chroot anyways)
  * run
      make mrproper prepare
      cd scripts

  * now just run the build script(s) you want to test like this
    eg:
      ./build.sh build opt=prepare
      ./build.sh build opt=linux
      ./build.sh build opt=patch-o-matic

    or the equivalent
     ./build.sh build opt=prepare build opt=linux build opt=patch-o-matic

    NOTE: the "opt=" option will force a build of a special
          build script even if it has already been built before
          (the tmp/.build_done_xxxSCRIPTNAME file exists)

    NOTE: the "opt=" option works for the build options "build", "install"
          and "iso"

    NOTE: Take a look at the "scripts/build", "scripts/install" or
          "scripts/iso" directories to check if some other software
          needs to get installed before the one you are trying to
          test.

This should speed you up while testing to implement a build script
for any software you want to add to devil-linux.

As a side note, the "DL_DIR" variable had to move from "Makefile"
to "scripts/build.sh" to get this running.
