[Buildroot] Buildroot 2020.08.1 released

[Peter Korsgaard]

Hi,

Buildroot is a simple tool for creating complete embedded Linux systems
(http://buildroot.org).

Buildroot 2020.08.1 is released - Go download it at:

http://buildroot.org/downloads/buildroot-2020.08.1.tar.gz

or

Or get it from Git:

git://git.buildroot.org/buildroot

Buildroot 2020.08.1 is a bugfix release, fixing a number of important /
security related issues discovered since the 2020.08 release.

- Fixes for various compilation issues with GCC 10.x.

- meson: Correct SDK cross-compilation.conf file when per-package builds
  were used to build SDK.

- systemd: Use /run rather than /var/run for PID files in units.

- Toolchain: use Secure-PLT rather than BSS-PLT for PowerPC 32.

- Fakeroot scripts (BR2_ROOTFS_POST_FAKEROOT_SCRIPT) are now run
  after all finalization hooks (including pre-rootfs) to ensure
  they can override any late configuration done by packages.

- support/script/pycompile: Rework logic to ensure .pyc files contain
  absolute target paths, fixing code inspection at runtime when
  executed with cwd != '/'.

- support/scripts/setlocalversion: Correct Mercurial output to match
  behaviour with Git.

- support/scripts/apply-patches.sh: Use patch --no-backup-if-mismatch,
  so we no longer blindly have to remove *.orig files after patching,
  fixing issues with packages containing such files.

- fs/jffs2: Now correctly handle xattrs

- Security fixes for brotli, cifs-utils, ghostscript, gnupg2, gnutls,
  go, ipmitool, libraw, libssh, libxml2, live555, memcached, mongodb,
  nodejs, php, redis, runc, samba4, suricata, wireshark, zeromq
