[Scratchbox-users] Patch to add release numbers to toolchains

[Matt Hoosier]

Hi,

I often find that I need to make refinements to the packaging of
foreign Scratchbox toolchains that are already deployed as Debian
packages. This is a bit of a pain with sb-toolchain-extras, because
the Debian packages generated have no release number and thus an
updated toolchain package doesn't look newer to dpkg.

The attached patch allows one to define a RELEASE variable in the
toolchain .conf file, and this will be appended to the final binary
package's version. Example:

  COMPILER_NAME = arm-linux-2006q3-27
  COMPILER_PACKAGE = scratchbox-toolchain-arm-linux-2006q3-27
  ALIEN_TC = yes

  RELEASE = 2

  CC_VER = 4.1
  ...
