[Buildroot] Buildroot 2009.08 released

[Peter Korsgaard]

Hi,

Buildroot 2009.08 is released - Go download it at:

http://buildroot.net/downloads/buildroot-2009.08.tar.gz

or

http://buildroot.net/downloads/buildroot-2009.08.tar.bz2

After 3 months of development a new stable Buildroot release is
out. Significant changes are:

- Improvements to the external toolchain support, including glibc
  support
- Support for the Xtensa architecture
- QT based configurator (make xconfig)
- Cleanups to X.org handling
- New packages: bmon, ctorrent, dosfstools, enchant, gst-plugins-bad,
  iw, libmms, libnl, libuuid, netstat-nat, ntfsprogs, sdl_gfx and
  spawn-fcgi
- A bunch of more packages are converted into Makefile.autotools.in
  format, bringing cleanups and fixes various build issues.

And the usual package version updates and bug fixes. See the CHANGES
file for details:

http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/plain/CHANGES?id=2009.08

The next release is going to be 2009.11. Expect the first release
candidate in late October and the final release at the end of
November. One of the issues I will be working on in the new development
phase is a proper regression test suite, most likely using Buildbot.

Thanks to everyone contributing and testing the release candidates!

I have redone the release because of a last minute bug in a util-linux
fix. The git tag is moved and the tarballs recreated.

Sorry for the trouble.

The md5sums of the new tarballs are:

Hmmm, why not do a 2009.08.01 release instead? Did you rebase the tag
in GIT? (too lazy to check).

I considered it, but found simply updating the 2009.08 version
better/easier/less error prone since the bug is so serious and the
release so new anyway.

The test config I built after fixing the util-linux issue (#529)
unfortunately didn't have busybox enabled so I didn't notice until after
the release :/

Getting buildbot running should certainly help these situations.

No, I simply removed and recreated the tag.
