      contrib: add push_pkg.sh to enhance package development workflow (v2) (#2023) · d4dee692
      lemoer authored
      v2: In contrast to the last patches, this is now built on top of ssh
          only, without using e.g. 9pfs. Furthermore it works also with
          arbitary remote hosts on any target/architecture. Also the
          scripts were renamed and moved to /scripts.
      
      The aim of this commit is to allow fast rebuild cycles during the
      development of gluon packages.
      
      Currently the following workflow can be used:
      
      	# start a local qemu instance
      	scripts/run_qemu.sh output/images/factory/[...].img
      
      	# do your changes in the file you want to patch
      	vi package/gluon-ebtables/files/etc/init.d/gluon-ebtables
      
      	# rebuild and update the package
      	scripts/push_pkg.sh package/gluon-ebtables/
      
      	# test your changes
      	...
      
      	# do more changes
      	...
      
      	# rebuild and update the package
      	scripts/push_pkg.sh package/gluon-ebtables/
      
      	# test your changes
      	...
      
      	(and so on...)
      
      Implementation details:
      - Currently this is based on ssh/scp.
      - Opkg is used to install/update the packages in the remote machine.
      
      Benefits:
      - This works with compiled and non-compiled packages.
      - This works with native OpenWrt and Gluon packages.
      - This even performs the check_site.lua checks as they are integrated
        as post_install scripts into the openwrt package.
      - It works for all architectures/targets.
