Various fixes.

Infrastructure: Ensure a custom tar program specified with

make TAR=/path/to/custom/tar is used everwhere.

Defconfigs: Fix build issues and runtime warnings for

Beaglebone qt5, Qemu ppc64/le pseries, TI am62x/am64x.

Add hashes for Beaglebone qt5, imx8mn bsh sm s2 / pro,

stm32f429 disco XIP, stm32f769 disco sd.

Updated/fixed packages: bc, collectd, composer, cvs,

lightning, nginx, p11-kit, python-lxml, python3, qt6base,

rrdtool, sofia-sip, syslog-ng, systemd, uclibc, unixodbc

2024.05-rc2, released June 4th, 2024

Fixes all over the tree.

Download:

- Dropped the (noop) --passive-ftp option from default wget

options for compatibility with wget2

- Fixed an issue with the generated archives (for

git/svn/cargo/go) when multiple packages share an archive

(E.G. linux vs linux-headers).

Defconfigs: Fix build issue with binutils 2.41 for

Acmesystems Aria / Arietta, add download hashes for a number

of defconfigs. Fix FIT external position for i.MX8 boards

Updated/fixed packages: dnsmasq, docker-compose, doom-wad,

ebtables, esp-hosted, file, freeradius-client,

freeradius-server, go, kmod, libmnl, libnetfilter_acct,

libnetfilter_log, linux, luarocks, lynx, makedumpfile,

micropython, mtd, ncftp, newlib-bare-metal, nfacct, ntp,

octave, proftpd, qt5base, systemd, tpm2-tss, uboot-tools,

ulogd, vala, zip

Removed packages: at91bootstrap, at91dataflashboot,

on2-8170-libs, on2-8170-modules

Issues resolved (http://bugs.uclibc.org):

#15973: imx8m bootloader image generation broken since update..

#16093: kmod and gcc-14 build error

2024.05-rc1, released May 30th, 2024

Fixes all over the tree and new features.

Toolchains:

- Binutils 2.24 added, 2.39 dropped, 2.41 is now default

- GCC 14.x added, 11.x dropped, 13.x is now default

- uClibc-ng bumped to 1.0.48

- Musl bumped to 1.2.5, adds riscv32 support

- Glibc bumped to 2.39, libcrypt no longer available (see

libxcrypt package)

- External glibc based toolchains no longer install libcrypt

files (except for libcrypt.so.1) to not conflict with the

libxcrypt package

- Bootlin external toolchains updated to 2024.02

- Support for external toolchains using GCC version 14

- Old external Codesourcery ARM/AARCH64 toolchains removed

- Old external Codesourcery niosII toolchain removed

- Old external Codescape mips toolchains removed

- Support for Linux 6.7 / 6.8 kernel headers added

Architecture:

- Support for riscv32 noMMU added

- Internal toolchains for SPARC (re-)added

- Support for the Motorola m68k specific shared library

support for the FLAT binary format dropped, as support has

been removed from the Linux kernel as of v5.19.

Download (notice, Buildroot generated tarballs have changed):

- Tar 1.35 is now required (will be automatically built if not

available on the host). Notice that tar 1.35 changes the way

devmajor/minor is stored, so tarballs created with 1.35 are

not binary identical to <1.35

- The tarball creation logic has now been extended to

correctly handle when ACLs are set on the download

directory.

- An issue with conflicting git tags between (different

versions of) a package has been fixes

- Git attributes are now handled correctly

Security:

- The /dev/shm entry in the default /etc/fstab used for

busybox and sysv init systems was missing the sticky bit,

allowing users to delete and replace other users files.

Infrastructure:

- kconfig/menuconfig can now be built with GCC 14.x

- Git is now used to to fetch CVE data from the FKIE

repository to work around an issue with missing meta files

in the releases.

- utils/check-package now also checks if defconfigs use

BR2_DOWNLOAD_FORCE_CHECK_HASHES to ensure custom

bootloader/kernels are correctly downloaded.

- Drop redundant --passive-ftp from default wget options and

migrate a number of packages using FTP upstreams to HTTP(S)

for compatibility with wget2 which does not have FTP support

creation logic, which lead to a hash mismatch issue in two

cargo-vendored packages, ripgrep and sentry-cli.

a git checkout and getting confused when building in a sub

directory of a Buildroot git checkout.

#15856: Using BR2_CONFIG= on a different file-system...

2023.11-rc1, released November 14th, 2023

Fixes all over the tree and new features.

Architecture: MIPS IV (re-)added. The mutually exclusive ABI

selection dropped for PowerPC.

Toolchain:

- Support for GDB 13.2, make GDB 12.x the default

- Glibc bumped to 2.38

- Bootlin external toolchains updated to 2023.08, bringing

support for Aarch64 BE with musl.

- Motorola 68K w/MMU support added for glibc and musl.

- License info added for GCC

Infrastructure:

- The CMake infrastructure now supports building packages with

ninja instead of make (based on <pkg>_CMAKE_BACKEND).

- The RPATH fixup done at the end of the build is now done in

parallel (according to BR2_JLEVEL).

- Packages downloaded from Subversion repos no longer

retrieves svn:externals unless <pkg>_SVN_EXTERNALS is set to

YES.

- Packages where a free-form version/site can be specified

(E.G. Linux, U-Boot, ..) can now have the corresponding

tarballs of these custom downloads checked by the download

infrastructure based on .hash files in the global patch

directory. These hashes are optional unless

BR2_DOWNLOAD_FORCE_CHECK_HASHES is enabled.

A utils/add-custom-hashes helper script has been added to

assist in managing such hash files.

- Various improvements to utils/docker-run to handle external

(BR2_DL_DIR defined in environment) download directory,

proxy configuration, SELinux and out of tree (O=) builds.
