With 953 commits, this cycle is quite notably smaller than the
previous -rc1 cycles (1319 for 2015.08-rc1, 1606 for
2015.05-rc1). However, the number of different contributors remains
stable: 102 this time, against 106 for 2015.08-rc1 and 105 for
2015.05-rc1.
Of noteworthy new features/changes we have:
Architectures:
- Support for sparc64 added (internal toolchain with glibc
only).
- Support for mips32r6 and mips64r6 added.
- Support for Intel Quark X1000 CPU.
- Switch to EABIhf by default on ARM when a VFP is available.
Toolchains:
- glibc 2.22, gdb 7.10, use gdb 7.9 by default, musl 1.1.12,
uclibc-ng 1.0.8, host-gdb enabled on AArch64.
- The toolchain wrapper which was used only for external
toolchains is now also used for Buildroot internal
toolchains. This allowed to fix the ccache support, prepare
the way for top-level parallel build support and remove gcc
patches used to detect header/library path poisoning.
- Remove Analog Devices Blackfin toolchain 2012R2.
- Fix several Xtensa build failures by switching from
text-section-literals to auto-litpools.
- Enable MIPS64 support in uClibc-ng, use uClibc on ARC
rather than a specific fork.
- Linaro toolchains for ARM, ARMeb and AArch64 updated to
2015.08. 2014.09 version is kept since 2015.08 only runs on
x86_64 hosts.
Bootloaders:
- Fix ARM64 support in U-Boot.
Defconfigs:
- Added: ARC HS38 VDK virtual boards, Avnet Microzed, Boundary
Devices Nitrogen SoloX, Freescale i.MX6 SoloX Sabre SD,
OLinuxino A20 Lime2, Qemu Sparc64, Qemu SuperH 4 big endian,
Synopsys AArch64 VDK virtual platform.
- Updated: calao_qil_a9260, calao_usb_a9g20_lpw, ci20,
cubieboad, freescale_imx6_*, imx53loco, imx6_vab820,
mpc8315erdb, qmx6, p1010rdb, qemu, raspberrypi,
raspberrypi2, riotboard, snps_axs10*, wandboard.
- Removed: at91rm9200df, at91sam9260dfc, at91sam9263ek,
calao_snowball_defconfig, gnublin, integrator926_defconfig.
Infrastructure:
- Support for fetching from Mercurial tags fixed.
- Introduce LINUX_NEEDS_MODULES, which allows to enforce
module support to be enabled in the kernel when a package
builds out-of-tree kernel modules (through the
pkg-kernel-module infrastructure or on its own).
- Improve the perl package infrastructure to automatically add
the dependency to the perl interpreter to target perl module
packages.
- Remove trailing slashes in <pkg>_SITE and addition of a
check to ensure such trailing slashes are no longer added.
- Extend the legal infrastructure to allow packages to declare
their actual source code. This is useful for packages for
which <pkg>_SOURCE points to pre-built binaries (as is the
case for external toolchains). The new <pkg>_ACTUAL_SOURCE
variable allows to point to the source code in such cases.
- Improved ccache support, thanks to the usage of a toolchain
wrapper for internal toolchain. Now a single cache directory
can be shared between different Buildroot builds.
- Addition of a 'graph-size' make targets, which generates a
PDF graph of per-package size of the root filesystem.
- Addition of <pkg>_EXCLUDES so that packages can request
certain parts of the source code tarball to not be
extracted. This feature is currently used by gcc and
toolchain-external.
- Packages can now use the <pkg>_PKGDIR variable, provided by
the package infrastructure, to reference their package
directory, instead of explicitly using package/<pkg>/.
Filesystems:
- Add high lz4 compression to squashfs.
- Simplification of shell profile files in the default
skeleton.
- Remove ftp user and /home/ftp from the skeleton, and let ftp
server packages create these when needed.
- Add support for /bin, /sbin and /lib to be symlinks to their
corresponding directories in /usr. This is enforced for
systemd configurations, and optional for other
configurations.
- Support for AXFS filesystem image generation added.
- New options to add extra space/inodes to ext2/3/4 images.
And the usual package version updates and bug fixes. See the CHANGES
file for details:
http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/plain/CHANGES?id=2015.11-rc1
Like usual, we will now create a next branch and start merging in new
features, rather than wait until 2015.11 is released.
You can expect regular 2015.11-rc versions throughout the month of
November, with the final version towards the end of the month.
Best regards,
Thomas
