Hi,
Buildroot 2018.05-rc1 is released - Go download it at:
http://buildroot.net/downloads/buildroot-2018.05-rc1.tar.gz
or
http://buildroot.net/downloads/buildroot-2018.05-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.
After a slightly small 2018.02 release (990 commits for 2018.02-rc1),
we're back to a more normal activity level with 1266 commits for
2018.05-rc1. This time 110 developers contributed, which is also in
line with our usual number of contributors.
Of noteworthy new features/changes we have:
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, as it was removed from Linux upstream, poorly
maintained in binutils/gdb, and abandoned by Analog Devices.
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.
New packages: 18xx-ti-utils, abootimg, bluez-alsa, brotli,
chipmunk, clang, docker-compose, docker-proxy, flare-engine,
flare-game, gst1-interpipe, gstreamer1-editing-services,
hackrf, i2pd, imx-alsa-plugins, imx-mkimage, libcdio-paranoia,

Like usual, I will now create a next branch and start merging in new
features, rather than wait until 2018.05 is released.
