[Buildroot] Buildroot 2025.11 released

[Peter Korsgaard]

Hi,

Buildroot 2025.11 is released - Go download it at:

https://buildroot.net/downloads/buildroot-2025.11.tar.gz

or

https://buildroot.net/downloads/buildroot-2025.11.tar.xz

Or get it from Git:

https://gitlab.com/buildroot.org/buildroot.git (2025.11 tag)

Please give it a spin and report any problems to the mailing list or
bug tracker.

Again a fairly active cycle with more than 1100 changes from 81 unique
contributors. I'm once again very happy to see so many "new" people next
to the "oldtimers".

Of noteworthy new features/changes we have:

- Support merged /usr/sbin/ (E.G. sbin a symlink to bin rather than
  separate directories), which is required by systemd 256+

- support/scripts/cve-check can now be used to enrich a SBOM in
  CycloneDX format (as generated by utils/generate-cyclonedx) with
  vulnerability analysis from the NVD database.

- New defconfigs: Compulab IOT-GATE-iMX8 EBBR, QEMU x86-64 EFI

- New packages: broot, bvi, go-bootstrap-stage4, libpam-pkcs11,
  llama-cpp, nnn, python-crccheck, python-fs, python-patch-ng,
  python-pyfatfs, python-scp, python-whitenoise, snapboot, wmenu

- Removed packages: aufs, aufs-util, axfsutils, bctoolbox, belle-sip,
  belr, dmenu-wayland, dvbsnoop, ev3dev-linux-drivers, expect, fbtft,
  gtk2-engines, gtkperf, leafpad, lesstif, libargtable2, libbson,
  libglade, libgtk2, libjwt, libsexy, linphone, logsurfer,
  mediastreamer, metacity, mongrel2, ola, ortp, procrank_linux,
  ramspeed, starfive-spltool, sylpheed

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

The next release will be 2026.02. Expect the first release candidate at
the beginning of February and the final release at the end of the month.

This release will be supported with security and other important fixes
until 2026.02.1 is out. For longer support consider the 2025.02.x LTS
series instead.
