Talkat Open Source Summit Europe + Embedded Linux Conference Europe 2019 · on Monday, 2019-10-28· at 14:25· Forum 1·
summary
Buildroot automates cross‑compiling toolchains, kernel, bootloader and rootfs and now maintains 2500+ packages with automated CI that runs runtime tests and weekly builds. It ships quarterly releases plus one LTS yearly branch with monthly fixes, adds Go and Meson package infrastructure, new CPU architectures and external toolchain support, switches downloads to a local git cache to avoid repeated full clones, adds hardening flags, runs reproducible‑builds testing, and is working on top‑level parallel builds.
