    +Aboriginal Linux 1.1.0 is out, +based on hg commit 1452.

    + +

    The big news is that Linux From Scratch 6.7 now builds to completion +under 11 targets, via the lfs-bootstrap build control +image. The remaining platforms all show target-specific issues +(often just insufficient board support in QEMU) rather than generic +problems with the build environment. The big bugfix allowing this to happen +was the m4 build hang (which was a bash bug).

    + +

    The only upgraded package was BusyBox 1.19.2, but there were several +performance tweaks and bugfixes, such as:

    + +
      +
    • The more/chroot-splice.sh script sets up a chroot using the +build/root-filesystem-$TARGET directory and a build control image, +for quickly testing build control images natively (generally using the +i686 or x86-64 root filesystems).

    • + +
    • The more/buildall-native.sh timeout value is now configurable via the +TIMEOUT=seconds environment variable (defaulting to 60).

    • + +
    • Tuned the +more/buildall.sh script in FORK=1 mode to take available memory into account +determinging CPUS (so it doesn't overload the build machine so easily).

    • + +
    • When +dev-environment.sh enables distcc it sets CPUS=3 because several current QEMU +boards support a maximum of 256 megs physical memory.

    • + +
    • The ldd and ldconfig binaries in the cross compilers were target binaries +instead of host binaries: that's fixed now.

    • + +
    • The virtio targets should now work with dev-environment.sh

    • +
    • The test script more/test.sh should no longer delete the output directory +(build/$STAGE_NAME-$TARGET) at the start of each test, allowing test rebuilds +of things like uClibc which have target prerequisites.

    • + +
    • The common kernel config now uses the ext4 driver for both ext3 and ext2 +filesystems.

    • +
    + +
