Buildman has been around for a little over a year and is used by a fair
number of U-Boot developers. However quite a few people still use MAKEALL.

Buildman was intended to replace MAKEALL, so perhaps now is a good time to
start that process.

The reasons to deprecate MAKEALL are:
- We don't want to maintain two build systems
- Buildman is typically faster
- Buildman has a lot more features

This series adds a few features to buildman to fill some gaps, adds some
infomation into the README on how to migrate from MAKEALL, and adds a
deprecation message to MAKEALL.


Simon Glass (6):
  buildman: Add -F flag to retry failed builds
  buildman: Avoid retrying a build if it definitely failed
  buildman: Add -C option to force a reconfigure for each commit
  buildman: Support in-tree builds
  buildman: Add some notes about moving from MAKEALL
  RFC: Deprecate MAKEALL
