v2017.07.0

[Sascha Hauer]

Hi All,

I just releaed barebox-2017.07.0. The reason for this early release is
that I am away for the next two months. During this time Lucas will take
over maintainership and also make the next release.

Most notable new feature this time I think is the support for links to
directories. Until now only links to files were supported. Links to
directories help for example on the Omap port where we used to mount
the partition the ROM boots from to /boot. With links to directories we
can now mount the partition to its standard location in /mnt/... while
still maintaining the /boot/ directory several Omap boot scripts depend
on. I am sure links to directories will prove useful on other occasions
aswell.

See below for a detailed list of changes that went into this release.

Hi!

It looks like the commit

commit a602bebcf7e42eb8933f224c12cad1c9320e28a1
Author: Sascha Hauer <***@pengutronix.de>
Date: Tue May 9 07:38:48 2017 +0200

fs: Implement links to directories

breaks tftp command: the command can't anymore download file from subdirectory,
e.g.

barebox:/ tftp antony/zbarebox
could not open /.tftp_tmp_path/antony/zbarebox: Invalid argument

barebox:/ tftp zbarebox
[#################################################################]
barebox:/

Reverting 944bf0e1 ('fixup! fs: Implement links to directories') and
a602bebc ('fs: Implement links to directories') fixes the problem.

I just tried to reproduce it since the patch had caused me other
problems, but I couldn't reproduce it on my custom board:

***@Belltech dbPod SoCFPGA Fast:/ version

barebox 2017.07.0 #2 Wed Jul 5 10:46:41 BST 2017

I don't think it should matter, but for reference, I'm using atftpd as
my TFTP server.
