Looks like the indentation is wrong (spaces instead of 1 tab + 2 spaces).

In Buildroot, we usually use commit sha1 instead of branch name;
otherwise it makes hard to spot what change in a package may have break a build.

BTW, with packages hosted on github, it is possible to just download
the tarball of the source at a given revision,
see: http://buildroot.org/downloads/manual/manual.html#github-download-url

You are definitely right.

Thank you for the suggestions ... I will prepare a second submission.

Submitted a patch for the same package earlier: 
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/218616/

Note that sunxi-tools (at least fel) has a dependency on libusb.
Your package is assuming that is always present on the host system.


Yours sincerely,

Ups, I didn't see it. Sorry for the overlapping.
I'm going to use your package :)

Yes, but it would be good if you could take Floris patch into your
patch series, and resend it in the next versions of your patch set.

Thanks,

Thomas
