From 235423870be6d9a97431eedac39ccd60eca17e25 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Petazzoni Date: Fri, 6 Nov 2015 11:22:00 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] CHANGES: update for 2015.11-rc1 Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni --- CHANGES | 227 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 227 insertions(+) diff --git a/CHANGES b/CHANGES index 89df9a4a9d..904dcf7dd4 100644 --- a/CHANGES +++ b/CHANGES @@ -1,3 +1,230 @@ +2015.11-rc1, not yet released + + Fixes all over the tree and new features. + + Architectures: + + - Support for sparc64 added (internal toolchain with glibc + only). + + - Support for mips32r6 and mips64r6 added. + + - Support for Intel Quark X1000 CPU. + + - Switch to EABIhf by default on ARM when a VFP is available. + + Toolchains: + + - glibc 2.22, gdb 7.10, use gdb 7.9 by default, musl 1.1.12, + uclibc-ng 1.0.8, host-gdb enabled on AArch64. + + - The toolchain wrapper which was used only for external + toolchains is now also used for Buildroot internal + toolchains. This allowed to fix the ccache support, prepare + the way for top-level parallel build support and remove gcc + patches used to detect header/library path poisoning. + + - Remove Analog Devices Blackfin toolchain 2012R2. + + - Fix several Xtensa build failures by switching from + text-section-literals to auto-litpools. + + - Enable MIPS64 support in uClibc-ng, use uClibc on ARC + rather than a specific fork. + + - Linaro toolchains for ARM, ARMeb and AArch64 updated to + 2015.08. 2014.09 version is kept since 2015.08 only runs on + x86_64 hosts. + + Bootloaders: + + - Fix ARM64 support in U-Boot. + + Defconfigs: + + - Added: ARC HS38 VDK virtual boards, Avnet Microzed, Boundary + Devices Nitrogen SoloX, Freescale i.MX6 SoloX Sabre SD, + OLinuxino A20 Lime2, Qemu Sparc64, Qemu SuperH 4 big endian, + Synopsys AArch64 VDK virtual platform. + + - Updated: calao_qil_a9260, calao_usb_a9g20_lpw, ci20, + cubieboad, freescale_imx6_*, imx53loco, imx6_vab820, + mpc8315erdb, qmx6, p1010rdb, qemu, raspberrypi, + raspberrypi2, riotboard, snps_axs10*, wandboard. + + - Removed: at91rm9200df, at91sam9260dfc, at91sam9263ek, + calao_snowball_defconfig, gnublin, integrator926_defconfig. + + Infrastructure: + + - Support for fetching from Mercurial tags fixed. + + - Introduce LINUX_NEEDS_MODULES, which allows to enforce + module support to be enabled in the kernel when a package + builds out-of-tree kernel modules (through the + pkg-kernel-module infrastructure or on its own). + + - Improve the perl package infrastructure to automatically add + the dependency to the perl interpreter to target perl module + packages. + + - Remove trailing slashes in _SITE and addition of a + check to ensure such trailing slashes are no longer added. + + - Extend the legal infrastructure to allow packages to declare + their actual source code. This is useful for packages for + which _SOURCE points to pre-built binaries (as is the + case for external toolchains). The new _ACTUAL_SOURCE + variable allows to point to the source code in such cases. + + - Improved ccache support, thanks to the usage of a toolchain + wrapper for internal toolchain. Now a single cache directory + can be shared between different Buildroot builds. + + - Addition of a 'graph-size' make targets, which generates a + PDF graph of per-package size of the root filesystem. + + - Addition of _EXCLUDES so that packages can request + certain parts of the source code tarball to not be + extracted. This feature is currently used by gcc and + toolchain-external. + + - Packages can now use the _PKGDIR variable, provided by + the package infrastructure, to reference their package + directory, instead of explicitly using package//. + + Filesystems: + + - Add high lz4 compression to squashfs. + + - Simplification of shell profile files in the default + skeleton. + + - Remove ftp user and /home/ftp from the skeleton, and let ftp + server packages create these when needed. + + - Add support for /bin, /sbin and /lib to be symlinks to their + corresponding directories in /usr. This is enforced for + systemd configurations, and optional for other + configurations. + + - Support for AXFS filesystem image generation added. + + - New options to add extra space/inodes to ext2/3/4 images. + + Updated/fixed packages: + + adwaita-icon-theme, apache, apitrace, atk, audit, avahi, + barebox, bash, batctl, bind, binutils, bluez_utils, boost, + bridge-utils, cairo, ccache,
