Hi,

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

Buildroot 2017.11.2 is released - Go download it at:

http://buildroot.org/downloads/buildroot-2017.11.2.tar.gz

or

http://buildroot.org/downloads/buildroot-2017.11.2.tar.bz2

Or get it from Git:

git://git.buildroot.org/buildroot

Buildroot 2017.11.2 is a bugfix release, fixing a number of important /
security related issues discovered since the 2017.11.1 release.

- External toolchain: libatomic is now also copied for musl based
  toolchains.

- nconfig: Fix for ncurses/ncursesw linking issue causing crashes.

- System: Only show getty options when busybox init or sysvinit are
  used.

- Infrastructure: Fix build issue for autotools based packages checking
  for C++ support on toolchains without C++ support on a distro lacking
  /lib/cpp (E.G. Arch Linux).
  Pie charts generated by 'graph-build' or 'graph-size' are now sorted
  according to the size of each piece.

- Security fixes for asterisk, bind, intel-microcode, irssi, mariadb,
  php, webkitgtk,

- Fixes for download/compilation/runtime issues in avahi, busybox,
  coreutils, eeprog, iputils, kmsxx, libiio, linux-firmware, lz4,
  matchbox-lib, mcookie, ntp, pound, rpcbind, tar, ti-cgt-pru, xen,
  xlib_libXpm

Users of the affected packages are strongly encouraged to upgrade.
