# Virtual package infrastructure
#
# This file implements an infrastructure that eases development of
# package .mk files for virtual packages. It should be used for all
# virtual packages.
#
# See the Buildroot documentation for details on the usage of this
# infrastructure
#
# In terms of implementation, this virtual infrastructure requires
# the .mk file to only call the 'virtual-package' macro.

# inner-virtual-package -- defines the dependency rules of the virtual
# package against its provider.
#
#  argument 1 is the lowercase package name
#  argument 2 is the uppercase package name, including a HOST_ prefix
#             for host packages
#  argument 3 is the uppercase package name, without the HOST_ prefix
#             for host packages
#  argument 4 is the type (target or host)
