(http://buildroot.org).

or

Or get it from Git:

git://git.buildroot.org/buildroot

Buildroot 2018.02.2 is a bugfix release on the current long term
release, fixing a number of important / security related issues
discovered since the 2018.02.1 release.

- Infrastructure: Tweak package size/file instrumentation to better
  handle package rebuilds.

- Revert /etc/shells creation when bash is enabled as it doesn't handle
  the standard shells.

- Exclude /lib/firmware from the rpath fixup logic, as it may contain
  non-native ELF files.

- Scanpypi: Support the new PyPi infrastructure.

- Handle GCC 8.x on the host.

- Ensure timestamp of /usr is updated to support the systemd
  ConditionNeedsUpdate option.

- Security fixes for gnupg2, mbedtls, php, sdl2_image

- Fixes for download/compilation/runtime issues in bluez5_utils, flann,
  gdb, grub2, libcec, libtomcrypt, python, python-requests,
  python-watchdog, qt53d, qt5websockets, syslog-ng, systemd, uclibc,
  usb_modeswitch, wireguard, wmctrl
