Once again our autobuilders have helped us fix a huge amount of build
issues. Thanks to all the people reviewing failures and fixing issues:
for i in $(git log --format=%H 2014.02..); do \
git show --quiet $i | grep -q http://autobuild && \
git show --quiet --format="%an" $i ; done | sort | uniq -c | \

The autobuilder graph shows a very nice decrease in build issues during
the stabilization phase:
http://autobuild.buildroot.net/stats.php
This time again we had almost 100 unique contributors! I'm very happy
to see so many "new" people next to the "oldtimers". It was also a very
busy cycle with close to 1300 commits (a new record I believe) and
changes all over the tree.
Of noteworthy new features we have:
- Toolchains: Musl C library support. GCC 4.9.x and Glibc 2.19 support.
Environment variable to control debug output of toolchain wrapper
renamed to BR2_DEBUG_WRAPPER to match the other variables. Toolchain
tuple vendor name can now be customized. A GDB gdbinit file is now
generated for external toolchains to automatically set the correct
sysroot. Updated Linaro external toolchains and support for ARMEB
variant. Internal toolchain support for Aarch64 and Microblaze.
- Kconfig handling for minimum kernel headers version required for
packages. Now packages needing specific kernel header features can
specify these requirements in Kconfig.
- Python package infrastructure extended to handle Python 3.x. Perl and
virtual package infrastructure support. See user manual for details.
- Support for (but disabled as it leads to unreproducible builds)
toplevel parallel builds. See the comment at the top of Makefile for
details about how to enable it and what the problems are if you want
to test it.
- Modern (v212) Systemd version and support for eudev.
- Large number of new packages (77):
Big: postgresql, samba4, xbmc. Bootloaders: gnu-efi, grub2, gummiboot.
Mail: exim, fetchmail. Filesystem: btrfs-progs, e2tools, yaffsutils.
Lua/Perl/Php/Python related: ljlinenoise, lpeg, lpty, lrandom,
lsqlite3, lualogging, lua-messagepack, lua-testmore, lunit, lua-coat,
lua-coatpersistent, lua-csnappy, luajson, perl-module-build,
php-gnupg, php-imagick, php-ssh2, php-yaml, php-zmq,
python-libconfig, python-pypcap, python-pyrex
- New defconfigs: Minnowboard and Altera SoCkit added, updates to a
bunch of our existing configs.
- And a new website!
And the usual package version updates and bug fixes. See the CHANGES
file for details:
http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/plain/CHANGES?id=2014.05
Next release will be 2014.08. Expect the first release candidate late
July, and the final release at the end of August.
The next developers meeting will take place just before the Embedded
Linux Conference Europe in Düsseldorf, Germany:
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2014-February/088978.html
We are looking for companies willing to sponsor this Developers
Meeting. The budget is in the 250-500 EUR range, so it's fairly cheap
for most companies, but allows us to cover the cost of the meeting room,
and optionally the Saturday dinner for the participants.
And finally we already have a number of interesting changes lined up for
the next cycle (either already on next or under review):
- PowerPC64 / PowerPC64 LE support
- Qt 5.3
- XBMC update to 13.1 (Gotham)
Enjoy!
