Hi,
Buildroot 2016.08-rc1 is released - Go download it at:
http://buildroot.net/downloads/buildroot-2016.08-rc1.tar.gz
or
http://buildroot.net/downloads/buildroot-2016.08-rc1.tar.bz2
Or get it from Git:
git://git.buildroot.net/buildroot
Please give it a spin and report any problems to the mailing list or
bug tracker.
This was another big development cycle with more than 1600 changes
all over the tree and more than 100 unique contributors! I'm very happy
to see so many "new" people next to the "oldtimers".
Of noteworthy new features/changes we have:
- Toolchain: Fortran support added. eglibc support removed, musl
support no longer experimental. Blackfin and Microblaze support for
internal uClibc-ng toolchain, m68k/coldfire improvements. The check
for unsafe (build host) directories access (/usr/include and
/usr/lib) is now enabled by default. Unused locales are now purged
by default to save space (and the default list of locales
shrunk). The option to control this has now moved from the toolchain
menu to system configuration.
- Legal info improvements: sources are now hardlinked instead of copied
if possible to save space. Patches and extra downloads are also saved.
- An experimental configuration knob (BR2_REPRODUCIBLE) has been added
to make the builds more reproducible (E.G. less differences in the
binary output between builds of the same configuration). This is
still work in progress.
- An option to execute a custom script inside the fakeroot environment
used to the generate the filesystem (E.G. to tweak permissions or
similar) has been added.
- Git support now supports git submodules if <pkg>_GIT_SUBMODULES is
enabled.
- Hash files for integritry validation have been added for all
packages.
- New defconfigs: Arcturus uCP1020, Atmel sama5d{2,3,4} xplained
development configs, Blackfin GDB simulator, Linksprite pcDuino,
Minnow Board Max graphical demo, NXP i.MX25 PDK, i.MX51 EVK, i.MX6UL
Pico, i.MX7 sabresd, QEMU MIPS32r6{,el} and MIPS64r6{,el} malta,
Roseapple Pi, Samsung Snow chromebook, Toradex Apalis i.MX6 COM,
TS-4800, x86-64 PC BIOS and EFI demos. A number of defconfigs have
been updated and extended to generate SD card images. Synopsys HS38
VDK defconfig removed.
- Lots (104) of new packages, mainly related to virtualization /
containerization and python.
And the usual package version updates and bug fixes. See the CHANGES
file for details:
