Hi,

Buildroot is a simple tool for creating complete embedded Linux systems
(http://buildroot.org).

Buildroot 2018.02.1 is released - Go download it at:

http://buildroot.org/downloads/buildroot-2018.02.1.tar.gz

or

http://buildroot.org/downloads/buildroot-2018.02.1.tar.bz2

Or get it from Git:

git://git.buildroot.org/buildroot

Buildroot 2018.02.1 is a bugfix release on the current long term
release, fixing a number of important / security related issues
discovered since the 2018.02 release.

- Infrastructure: Speed up instrumentation for package size by
  comparing timestamps instead of md5 checksums, as doing checksums
  could lead to up to 25% longer build time for big configurations.

- Add a better fix for build issues for autotools based packages
  checking for C++ support on toolchains without C++ support.

- Build host-tar if tar is older than 1.27 on the build machine to work
  around reproducibility issues with git archives containing long paths.

- check-unique-files: Fix for filenames not representable in the users'
  locale.

- Check-bin-arch: Add support for per-package ignore paths
  (<pkg>_BIN_ARCH_EXCLUDE).

- linux: Add _NEEDS_HOST_OPENSSL / LIBELF options to ensure these
  dependencies are available for Linux configurations needing these
  dependencies, similar to how it is done for U-Boot.

- linux: Support custom (not in tree) device tree files in addition to
  in-tree ones.

- Removed unmaintained defconfigs: Creator Ci40, Firefly rk3288,
  Freescale mpc8315erdb / p1010rdb_pa, Riotboard, Teliv EVK Pro3.

- Security fixes for apache, imagemagick, irssi, libcurl, libopenssl,
  libpjsip, libvorbis, memcached, nodejs, ntp, patch, python-webpy,
  samba4, tremor, wireshark, xerces

- Fixes for download/compilation/runtime issues in busybox, c-ares,
  cmake, docker-engine, enlightenment, eudev, fbgrab, freescale-imx,
  gtest, intel-microcode, jimtcl, kmod, kodi, ktap, libcoap, libfcgi,
  libhttpparser, libminiupnpc, libss7, libssh2, libupnp, libupnpp,
  libuv, motion, musl, nodejs, ntp, openblas, opencv3, openocd,
  opus-tools, php, pkgconf, postgresql, powerpc-utils,
  python-jsonschema, python-webpy, qemu, qt5bsae, qt5script, qt5webkit,
