Then perhaps we need to mirror the kernel and provide / build dtc, but allow for people to override it.
This isn't too hard and I'm pushing that through Jenkins now to confirm I've got all the logic correct. I think this will be the least error prone method long term.
NAK, this is the same thing which chromium does and what Debian is trying to stop -- vendoring. We will end up with patched custom DTC out of sync with upstream.
Shrug, it's what Linux does, and what QEMU does, and probably what other projects do as well since apparently even Debian/Unstable is 2 releases and nearly a year behind (or, 9 months if you don't want to exaggerate).
And it will likely stay that way for debian stable. I am really disappointed in the "Shrug" reaction to such massive breakage.
Nope and nor will it catch old-stable breaking in January when gcc-6.x or newer is required.
Above you have been discussing code duplication. This is not the right way to work with git.
The git way is to add https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/dtc/dtc.git as git submodule (https://git-scm.com/docs/git-submodule).
In our make file we can then use git submodule init, git submodule update, git verify-tag before we build a dtc with the appropriate version.
This way we can build dtc from sources but stay in sync with the upstream.
