Hi,
Buildroot is a simple tool for creating complete embedded Linux systems
(http://buildroot.net).
Buildroot 2013.02 is released - Go download it at:
http://buildroot.net/downloads/buildroot-2013.02.tar.gz
or
http://buildroot.net/downloads/buildroot-2013.02.tar.bz2
Or get it from Git:
git://git.buildroot.net/buildroot
After 3 months of development a new stable Buildroot release is
out. Significant changes are:
- Large number of new packages (66): Jamvm/Classpath reintroduced,
Development packages (flashbench, perf, ..), QEMU related packages,
Multimedia (dvdsnoop, gst-fsl-plugins, jpeg-turbo, tvheadend, yavta,
..), Raspberry PI support packages, various firmware packages.
- Infrastructure: Eclipse integration support. Option to set root
password. Post-image scripts support, similar to post-build.
Generalized *-config script handling.
- GDB 7.51, Crosstool-NG 1.17.0, Linaro ARM 2012.11/12 + 2013.01,
Sourcery CodeBench MIPS 2012.03/09. Infrastructure to warn about
missing 32bit support for toolchains. Binary toolchain wrapper is now
relocatable.
- ARM NEON support toggle. OABI deprecated. Cortex A5/A15 support.
- Defconfigs: Calao USB-A9260, snowball, QEMU PPC440 on ML507 board,
QEMU ARM Exynos4210.
And the usual package version updates and bug fixes. Thanks to the
http://autobuild.buildroot.net autobuilder setup by Thomas Petazzoni we
have been able to fix a lot of different build issues. See the CHANGES
file for details:

It has been quite a busy development cycle with almost 850 commits, lots
of new packages and a number of large scale changes. We also had a very
nice developer days connected to FOSDEM in Brussels - See here for the
report:
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2013-February/067105.html
Next release will be 2013.05. Expect the first release candidate early
May - And the final release towards the end of the month.
