Description
There are options for managing specific package builds in Buildroot's help:
<pkg>-source - Only download the source files for <pkg> <pkg>-dirclean - Remove <pkg> build directory <pkg>-reconfigure - Restart the build from the configure step <pkg>-rebuild - Restart the build from the build step <pkg>-reinstall - Restart the build from the install step
I should add these to the buildroot.mk targets so that rebuilding things like libpibox are easier. However, it's not clear if the -source target will re-download if the archive is already downloaded.

This was easy to do for the simplest case.
make HW=rpi2 BRPKG=<> buildroot-rebuild-pkg
Where BRPKG is the name of the Buildroot package to rebuild.
This will do a
make <pkg>-dirclean
in Buildroot followed by a
make <pkg>
When this completes the rebuilt package is in the target tree and a
make HW=rpi2 buildroot-rebuild buildroot-pkg
should be done. The -rebuild is necessary to have Buildroot regenerate the squashfs with the updated Buildroot package build.
The update for this is in the rpi2 sandbox and has already been retested by rebuilding libopenssl, so it just needs to be committed and pushed.
