+2018.05-rc1, Released May 9th, 2018
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Toolchain: glibc bumped to 2.27, musl bumped to 1.1.19,
|
|
|
+ uClibc-ng 1.0.30, Linux kernel headers bumped to 4.16.x.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Architecture: support for the Blackfin architecture has been
|
|
|
+ removed.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Numerous packages updated to have hashes for their license
|
|
|
+ files.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Systemd can now be built with uClibc toolchains.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Linux: addition of BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_NEEDS_HOST_LIBELF and
|
|
|
+ BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_NEEDS_HOST_OPENSSL to support building Linux
|
|
|
+ kernel configurations that need libelf on the host or openssl
|
|
|
+ on the host.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Coding style:
|
|
|
+ - all Python scripts are now verified with flake8
|
|
|
+ - check-package extended to check all Config.in and .mk files
|
|
|
+ in tree, not only the ones in package/
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Infrastructure:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The download infrastructure has seen a major overhaul, with
|
|
|
+ the main visible new feature being Git caching: a package
|
|
|
+ fetched from Git no longer needs to be re-cloned entirely
|
|
|
+ everytime its version is changed. Anoter visible change is
|
|
|
+ that the download folder now has subfolders per package. See
|
|
|
+ http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2018-April/217923.html
|
|
|
+ for more details about those changes.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The logic that generates the root filesystem images has been
|
|
|
+ reworked, with the main goal of allowing several filesystem
|
|
|
+ images to be produced in parallel, also a requirement for
|
|
|
+ top-level parallel build. Now, a .tar filesystem image is
|
|
|
+ always created, and re-extracted in a private directory to
|
|
|
+ create each format-specific filesystem image.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - A new package infrastructure was introduced for Go-based
|
|
|
+ packages: golang-package.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Dependencies on extraction tools are now handled as proper
|
|
|
+ per-package dependencies, using
|
|
|
+ <pkg>_EXTRACT_DEPENDENCIES. Beyond a cleanup, this is also a
|
|
|
+ preparation step for top-level parallel build support.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - When a file being downloaded is part of a package with a
|
|
|
+ .hash file, but there is no hash listed for this file, the
|
|
|
+ file is now preserved in the download directory rather than
|
|
|
+ removed. This helps when updating a package, as it gives the
|
|
|
+ ability to easily calculate the hash of the file.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Addition of '<pkg>-show-recursive-depends' and
|
|
|
+ '<pkg>-show-recursive-rdepends' make targets, to
|
|
|
+ respectively display the recursive list of dependencies and
|
|
|
+ the recursive list of reverse dependencies of a given
|
|
|
+ package.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The /etc/shells file is now automatically generated with the
|
|
|
+ list of shell programs installed on the system.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Addition of -Ofast optimization level as an available
|
|
|
+ option.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Major updates: Go updated to 1.10, Erlang bumped to 20.3, Qt5
|
|
|
+ bumped to 5.10.1.
