Hi,
Buildroot is a simple tool for creating complete embedded Linux systems
(http://buildroot.org).
Buildroot 2018.02.1 is released - Go download it at:
http://buildroot.org/downloads/buildroot-2018.02.1.tar.gz
or
http://buildroot.org/downloads/buildroot-2018.02.1.tar.bz2
Or get it from Git:
git://git.buildroot.org/buildroot
Buildroot 2018.02.1 is a bugfix release on the current long term
release, fixing a number of important / security related issues
discovered since the 2018.02 release.
- Infrastructure: Speed up instrumentation for package size by
comparing timestamps instead of md5 checksums, as doing checksums
could lead to up to 25% longer build time for big configurations.
- Add a better fix for build issues for autotools based packages
checking for C++ support on toolchains without C++ support.
- Build host-tar if tar is older than 1.27 on the build machine to work
around reproducibility issues with git archives containing long paths.
- check-unique-files: Fix for filenames not representable in the users'
locale.
- Check-bin-arch: Add support for per-package ignore paths
(<pkg>_BIN_ARCH_EXCLUDE).
- linux: Add _NEEDS_HOST_OPENSSL / LIBELF options to ensure these
dependencies are available for Linux configurations needing these
dependencies, similar to how it is done for U-Boot.
- linux: Support custom (not in tree) device tree files in addition to
in-tree ones.
- Removed unmaintained defconfigs: Creator Ci40, Firefly rk3288,
Freescale mpc8315erdb / p1010rdb_pa, Riotboard, Teliv EVK Pro3.
- Security fixes for apache, imagemagick, irssi, libcurl, libopenssl,
libpjsip, libvorbis, memcached, nodejs, ntp, patch, python-webpy,
samba4, tremor, wireshark, xerces
- Fixes for download/compilation/runtime issues in busybox, c-ares,
