Hi,

(http://buildroot.org).

Buildroot 2019.02.8 is a bugfix release on the current long term
release, fixing a number of important / security related issues
discovered since the 2019.02.7 release. The 2019.02.x series is
supported until March 2020.

- Infrastructure: Make HOST_<pkg>_DL_OPTS inherit from
  <pkg>_DL_OPTS by default, just like it is done for a number of
  other package variables

  Add <pkg>_KEEP_PY_FILES to exclude specific python .py files
  from the removal done by BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON{,3}_PYC_ONLY for
  the (rare) case where the .py files are needed at runtime
  rather than .pyc.

  Fix <pkg>-reconfigure handling for packages using the kconfig
  infrastructure.

- Toolchain: ensure external toolchain kernel headers version check
  correctly stop the build on mismatch

- Security fixes for asterisk, bind, clamav, haproxy, intel-microcode,
  jasper, jpeg-turbo, libnss, oniguruma, python-django, rabbitmq-c,
  spice, tiff, webkitgtk

- Fixes for download/compilation/runtime/license issues in am33x-cm3,
  chrony, collectd, connman, faifa, gob2, ipsec-tools, kodi,
  kvm-unit-tests, libftdi, libftdi1, libstrophe, libsvgtiny, lvm2, lzma,
  mariadb, minicom, neardal, nodejs, opencv3, openvmtools, oracle-mysql,
  perl-gdgraph, perl-gdtextutil, php, postgresql, prosody, rauc, redis,
  rpcbind, socat, spice, tftpd
