#9866: BASE_DIR usage
2017.05-rc1, Released May 8th, 2017
Fixes all over the tree and new features.
Infrastructure:
- Installed binaries are now checked for correct architecture
to catch natively built binaries or binaries built for other
architecture variants.
- Luarocks infrastructure improvements to extraction handling,
support for upstream name != Buildroot package name.
- 'make printvars' output format has changed to make it easier
to use in scripts. It now has options to quote the variables
and to show the expanded/unexpanded values.
- Automatic ext2 rootfs size calculation has been removed. The
logic was not working working reliable in all setups as it
depends on the host filesystem behaviour, so instead now the
size has to be specified explicitly (defaults to 60MB).
- The git download infrastructure now ensures that GNU format
tar files are created.
- Fixed a variable clashing issue in the mkusers script with
internal bash variables.
- Fakeroot now links against libacl to fix issues on
distributions using acls.
- Correct permissions for /dev/pts/ptmx when systemd is used
with recent glibc versions.
- br2-external: Improve error reporting.
- A wrapper script for genimage has been added in
support/scripts/genimage.sh for easy use of genimage from
post-image scripts.
- A script to check for common style issues in new packages
before submitting has been added in support/scripts/check-package
- Defconfigs are now tested by gitlab-CI instead of Travis:
https://gitlab.com/buildroot.org/buildroot
- Infrastructure for runtime testing has been added to
support/testing
Toolchain:
- External linaro toolchains updated to 2017.02, ARC toolchain
updated to 2017.03-rc1, NIOSII CodeSourcery to 2017.05
- A number of fixes and improvements to the external toolchain
handling, including C library detection, multilib and ld.so
handling
- Glibc 2.25 and uClibc-ng 1.0.24 added, wordexp support enabled
for uClibc-ng
- Binutils 2.28 added and default changed to 2.27
Architectures:
- Support for the C-SKY architecture has been added.
License handling:
- The package license markings for legal info now uses the
SPDX short identifiers for the license string where possible.
- License info has been improved / added for a number of packages.
Misc:
- Cmake 3.7.x installed on the host is no longer ignored as a
workaround for the RPATH issues has been implemented.
- Docker-engine can now be built statically on an otherwise
dynamic linked build for docker-in-docker setups.
- U-Boot now supports out-of-tree device trees, similar to
Linux
- Nodejs 0.10.x support (and with it, support for <ARMv6) has
been removed as this is now EOL upstream.
New defconfigs: AT91sam9x5ek dev/mmc/mmc-dev, banana pro,
Nationalchip gx6605s, MIPS creator ci40, nexbox a95x, 64bit
defconfig for raspberry pi 3, stm32f429-disc1.
The raspberry pi zero-w and rpi3 compute module are now also
supported by the rpi0 / rpi3 defconfigs, beaglebone green is
supported by the beaglebone defconfig.

CMake support: fix cmake wrapper to properly pass NDEBUG flag.
Filesystems: use a wrapper to pseudo, to better mimick the behaviour
of fakeroot; makedevs no longer breaks of the destination already
exists and is of the correct type/major/minor.
Defconfigs: a few legacy and broken defconfigs have been removed
because they now fail to build: kb9202_defconfig, mini2440_defconfig,
freescale_p2020ds, qmx6, calao*, atmel_sama5d4ek. Other defconfigs
have been updated: nanopi-neo, olimex_a20_olinuxino_lime_mali,
armadeus_apf51, armadeus_apf28, freescale_imx31_3stack, ci20,
olimex_a20_olinuxino_lime2, atmel_at91sam9260eknf,

atmel_sama5d3xek.
2016.11-rc1, Released November 3rd, 2016
Fixes all over the tree and new features.
It is now possible to specify multiple BR2_EXTERNAL
directories. The required files in a BR2_EXTERNAL directory
have changed to accomodate this feature. Refer to the
documentation for details of how to update them. External
trees now have a name and a description. Also, it is possible
to override a defconfig in the external tree.
The default skeleton now uses UID 65534 for the "nobody"
user instead of UID 99, like most distros do. See
https://lwn.net/Articles/695478/ for a complete discussion.
Programs and configuration files that explicitly refer to UID
99 will have to be updated.
When the build environment already has a suitable cmake version
(3.1 or later), that one will be used instead of building
host-cmake. This can speed up the build significantly.
The ExtUtils::MakeMaker perl module is now required in the
build environment.
An additional check is done during the build that files are
not installed in the output directory within the output
directory. This happens e.g. when the target directory is
contained both in --prefix and in DESTDIR. The build will
terminate with an error message that specifies which package
and which file caused the failure.
The concept of "deprecated packages" and the BR2_DEPRECATED
option have been removed. Instead, packages are removed
immediately. Packages are only removed when they don't work
for some reason. If you still need a removed package and
you have a solution for the problem(s) that caused the
removal, please contribute it.
Architecture: support for sh64 removed, improved support for
MIPS core selection.
Toolchain: support for musl powerpc64le, mips64 and mipsr6
toolchains, ARC toolchain components updates, gcc 6.x series
bumped to 6.2.0, default binutils version switched to 2.26,
default gcc version switched to gcc 5.x, Linaro toolchains
updated, uclibc-ng bumped to 1.0.19. GCC is now always built
with TLS support. Checking of unsafe compiler options (that
point to host directories) has been extended with -isystem,
-idirafter and -iquote.
Package infrastructure: new variable $(PKG)_DL_OPTS, addition
of <pkg>-show-rdepends to list reverse dependencies, and
<pkg>-graph-rdepends to graph reverse dependencies. Linux tools
are now in a separate linux-tools package instead of in the
kernel build. Fakeroot has been replaced by pseudo.
CMake support: the toolchainfile.cmake file now provides a
definition of the CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE variable. The
toolchainfile.cmake also no longer forces the compiler/linker
flags defined by Buildroot.
New defconfigs: WaRP7, Solidrun's MX6 Cubox/Hummingboard,
TS-4900, Grinn's liteBoard, Udoo MX6Q/DL, Qemu ARM noMMU,
BeagleBone Qt5 demo, Digilent Zybo, FriendlyARM Nanopi NEO.

Removed packages: binutils 2.24, fakeroot, gcc 4.7, ipkg,
kodi-addon-xvdr, libgail, sstrip, torsmo, webkit, webkitgtk24,
wvdial, wvstreams.
Documentation: the list of packages that was present in the
Buildroot manual has been removed.
Legal info: the "licenses.txt" file that concatenates all
license texts is no longer generated - it was not considered
useful. The manifest.csv contains an empty cell instead of
"not saved" when no license file is available.
Other: addition of a DEVELOPERS file listing developers taking
care of packages or architectures.

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.
Scanpypi utility to help creating packages from the Python
package index (pypi) has been added.
The makedevs utility now has support for adding file
capabilities using extended attributes.
