    Aboriginal Linux 1.4.3 +is out, based on hg 1807, using +Linux 4.1, toybox-0.6.1, musl-1.1.12, and busybox-1.24.1.

    + +

    Our first nommu target, sh2eb, builds a system-image that boots on the +Numato Mimas v2 board described on the jcore +processor site (rather than under qemu). +Toybox defconfig now builds nommu, we upgraded busybox versions to +get some nommu fixes in hush, and there were several toolchain fixes +since last time.

    + +

    Multiple users requested bzip2 compression-side back (even though you +can build it natively), and we added strndup() from posix-2008 to the last-ever +release of uClibc (which we're migrating off of in favor of musl-libc, +but our old Linux From Scratch 6.8 build control +image refuses to build on a libc it doesn't specifically recognize +so we need to upgrade the version of that to have a better test environment.

    + +

    We added an /etc/os-release file which is what Debian now recommends +for OS version identification now that they've +given up on the Linux Foundation's +"Linux Standard Base" bureaucracy. Also the initramfs should have a /bin/sh +symlink pointing to hush (which is replaced with a link to bash by the +dev-environment.sh init script, but if you run-emulator.sh without the +native-compiler overlay it's nice to have).
