Hello,
On October 20-21, a number of Buildroot developers gathered in
Edinburgh (UK) for a 2-day Developers meeting. A short report for this
meeting is now available at (thanks Arnout):
https://elinux.org/Buildroot:DeveloperDaysELCE2018#Meeting_report
We discussed:
- top level parallel build
- reproducible builds
- doing more testing
- hardening support in the toolchain wrapper
- LTO support
- S01logging updates
- Download of extra downloads with identical file names
Also, we had a general assembly of the Buildroot Association. And
finally, most of the time was dedicated to actual hacking on Buildroot,
with a strong focus on going through the patchwork backlog, and
reviewing, replying and merging as many patches as possible. By the end
of ELCE, the backlog of patches was down to ~200 patches.
Once again, I would like to thank our sponsors for this event:
