Hello,
For information, I've done a few changes to the autobuilders today:
* I've upgraded all the external toolchains built with Buildroot. They
have now been built with Buildroot 2012.11.1. The previously used
toolchains had been built with 2012.05 or something like that.
* I've slightly changed some of those toolchains, in order to reduce
the number of ARM toolchains, and have a bit more toolchains from
other architectures. Namely, I've removed the "br-arm-basic-cpp"
toolchain (a ARM toolchain that has all special features disabled,
except C++ that is enabled), it has been replaced by
"br-powerpc-603e-basic-cpp", which does the same thing but for the
PowerPC architecture. The br-arm-full-no-ipv6-no-rpc (all features
enabled except RPC and IPv6) has been removed, and
br-x86-64-atom-no-rpc-no-ipv6 has been added instead. So basically
it removes two ARM toolchains in favour of one PowerPC toolchain and
on x86-64 toolchain.
Note that the toolchain tarballs are available from
http://autobuild.buildroot.org/toolchains/tarballs/, and all the
toolchain configurations being tested are available at
http://autobuild.buildroot.org/toolchains/configs/free-electrons/.
* The most important change is that I've tuned my build script to
randomly add some more fun:
- On 5% of the builds, it will now add BR2_ENABLE_DEBUG=y
- On 5% of the builds, it will now add BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB=y
- On 5% of the builds, it will now add
BR2_ROOTFS_DEVICE_CREATION_DYNAMIC_UDEV=y
- In 33% of the builds that have
BR2_ROOTFS_DEVICE_CREATION_DYNAMIC_UDEV=y, it will add
BR2_INIT_SYSTEMD=y
Presumably, those changes are going to cause an increase in the
number of build failures in the near future. If it gets too much to
solve all those new problems at once, I'm of course ready to remove
a bit of those changes and add things more progressively.
If you have suggestions on how to improve the tested configurations,
more ideas, do not hesitate to share them.
Best regards,
Thomas
