This is a resend. Does anyone have objections to this patch still?
Did you check with abuild that all boards still build fine after the patch? Did you compare the sizes, i.e. does it make a real difference in behaviour of the build, or is it just a "cosmetical" change?
It's not cosmetic. Without this patch, we can't have an LZMA precompressed payload for the board (which is an option in buildrom).
As I understand it, all the precompressed payload option does is tells the build process not to try to run lzma on the payload when LZMA compression is enabled.
It allows buildrom to use its own compiled version of lzma instead of the one that the user might have in his path.
Since I didn't set the variable, but just allowed it to be set in the future, my hypothesis is that it changes nothing for abuild.
I'm running abuild now.
If the boards still build (which I suspect they will),
