This file highlights changes to the product made in RCPLs that may be of
interest to the user. The features are grouped by the RCPL in which they were
made available. BSP specific changes are located in the BSP section.
General Changes:
5.0.1.30:
We remove all old prebuilt toolchains from 5.0.1.30, except for the newest toolchain,
more details please see
https://knowledge.windriver.com/Content_Lookup?id=045453
5.0.1.24:
a)We add new version rpm 5.4.14. The default version is still 5.4.9, if you want to
apply the new version, you need to add the option in your project configuration.
--with-template=feature/rpm5414
b)We add new version db 5.3.28. The default version is still 5.3.15, if you want to
apply the new version, you need to add the option in your project configuration.
--with-template=feature/db5328
5.0.1.23:
Update DPDK 1.7.1
5.0.1.21:
1) The linux kernel is updated to v3.4.91
2) Security issues update
The 2 critical vulerabilities "SSLv3 POODLE" and "bash shellshock" have been fixed in 5.0.1.20.
3) A build issue with Ubuntu 14.04 32bit and other distributions (gcc 4.8 on i686)
The qemu-native doesn't build with gcc 4.8 on i686, that is
work/qemu-0.11.1/target-ppc/op_helper.c: In function 'helper_fmadd':
work/qemu-0.11.1/target-ppc/op_helper.c:1250:10: error: frame pointer required, but reserved
The workaround is downgrading the host gcc to 4.7, for example on Ubuntu 14.04
$sudo apt-get install gcc-4.7 gcc-4.7-multilib g++-4.7 g++-4.7-multilib
$cd /usr/bin/
$sudo rm gcc g++
$sudo ln -s g++-4.7 g++
$sudo ln -s gcc-4.7 gcc

...
Note: we plan to switch the default version of syslog-ng to 3.4.2 in 5.0.1.14.
5.0.1.10:
We upgraded syslog-ng to 3.4.2 in 5.0.1.8 and removed the old version 3.3.5. In
5.0.1.10, we restore syslog-ng 3.3.5 as default version, and keep the new version
sylog-ng 3.4.2. The default configuration will select 3.3.5. If you want to use
the 3.4.2, please enable RCFL by --enable-addons=wr-rcfl --with-layer=rcfl
--with-template=feature/syslog-ng342
5.0.1.8:
A new configure option --enable-ldconfig: Stick a postinstall script to rpms to
update ldconfig cache during the installation, as well as "/etc/ld.so.conf" and
"/etc/ld.so.conf.d" are generated at system level. The environment variable
ENABLE_LDCONFIG=[1|0] will override any setting of this argument.
Beginning with 5.0.1.8 the Experimental Layer is available for download for
customers interested in some of these new features. Please refer to
https://support.windriver.com/olsPortal/faces/maintenance/downloadDetails.jspx?contentId=042478
for more details on what is available and how to install the Experimental Layer.
5.0.1.5:
Absolute paths are removed from the platform project. The paths are now
referenced from the ${WRL_TOP_BUILD_DIR} macro. This allows users to copy
and compare platform projects.
A new configuration option was created called --enable-stand-alone-project=yes
that allows a platform project to stand completely on it's own. Note that this
option will result in a very large project directory as it copies parts of the
installation directory into the project directory instead of using symbolic
links, so be prepared when using this option.
If you move a project directory you must run:
rm -rf bitbake_build/tmp
5.0.1.3
It is recommended that to control package lists it is best to start with
smaller sized rootfs options and add packages that are needed then to start
with a large rootfs type and remove packages. The glibc-small is a busybox
based rootfs that is a good rootfs to start with and then add packages. The
glibc-core rootfs type is a similar non-busybox rootfs to start from. If
you do need to remove packages, target options have been added that provide
control over the package list that ultimately gets loaded on the target
rootfs. The "make fs-expand", "make fs-expand-rm", and\
"make fs-expand-rm-dryrun" have been added and can be used to modify the
default-image.bb file to control the package list. See the "File
system modification specific" section of the "make help" target for
more specific information.
A new configure option --enable-rm-oldimgs: Remove the old images in
order to reduce disk space occupation. This option is recommended if
your disk space is limited or --enable-target-installer=yes is used.
The "make iso-image" target was added to create a hybrid iso image type.
This option is not the same as --enable-bootimage=iso. This option takes
whatever contents you have in export/dist and makes a ISO/USB hybrid. This
image is created significantly faster. To use this option the kernel must
have iso9660, unionfs, and whatever devices to read from the optical or
usb media enabled.
Allow additional feature templates in rootfs.cfg. This allows users to create
a custom rootfs that uses additional templates automatically by defining
a rootfs.cfg file in a layer.
The default-image.bb file is linked to a copy in the local project directory.
References to IMAGE_INSTALL_append were converted to IMAGE_INSTALL += using
image.inc files in the template directory. This allows more control over
the image file by modifying the project directory's image.bb file.
5.0.1.1
The default RCPL version at configure time changed from "auto" to "latest".
The configure command locks the project directory to the latest RCPL available
at configure time and saves this number. Subsequent "make reconfig" commands
will not change the RCPL value. To change the RCPL used by an existing project
use the "make upgrade" target to upgrade the project to the latest installed
RCPL.
