Fix#5143
(together with e80c08: Use a specific hardware/package_index_bundled.json)
Previously if a 3rd party core would require a tool already bundled
in the IDE then boards manager skipped the installation of that tool.
This is could lead to missing tools if the IDE is upgraded and the
bundled tools may change.
This patch fixes the bug by always installing tools when needed, even
if they are already bundled.
This covers a very convoluted use-case that may be reproduce this way:
1. Using an previous version of the IDE, a new AVR core is installed
using the board manager.
2. The IDE is then updated so the core installed in 1. is now also the
bundled one
3. The AVR core installed 1. is now removed using the board manager
4. The board manager will uninstall the (presumably) no longer used tools,
from the built-in folder leaving, in fact, the IDE without the
bundled tools that are supposed to be read-only.
This commit fix this bug by actually making the built-in tool read-only
Previously, during the build, the full package_index.json was downloaded
and distributed with the Arduino IDE.
This lead to a situation where it was difficult to test new AVR cores
before publishing them to the public package_index.json.
Now the bundled AVR core is specificed in the file:
`hardware/package_index_bundled.json`
this index is loaded from the IDE at startup and the package_index.json
is overlayed on it.
This should also solve part of #5143 (Repeatable builds and snapshots of
package/library indexes)
This reverts commits:
385edd26fc (Removed "macosx-fix-bundled-toolchain-missing-symlinks" build task)
f5fd6423c3 (Updated avrdude to 6.3-arduino2)
5a01929b8f (avrdude 6.3: fixed IDE build for macosx)
And part of this commit:
05b647721c (Update avr-gcc to 4.9.2 and avrdude to 6.3)
ApacheCommons do some command-line tweaking that doesnt fit well
with argument passing to arduino-builder, in particular for -prefs
arguments containing spaces.
Previously a NullPointer exception was thrown.
Now the build go on and fails when the recipe cannot be replaced
the correct tool path, that is a much more informative error.
