Heads up for anyone planning to set up a Buildroot environment on the newly released Fedora 42 @fedora
I have just submitted a patch for the m4 package to address compatibility with GCC 15. If you're working with Buildroot on this release, you may want to review the patch details here:

How to build and configure a custom Linux image for the Raspberry Pi 5 using Buildroot.

@lawik a friend said it best, it’s like the SAP or Oracle of the embedded Linux world. It’s just plain terrible.
If you ever end up in a situation where someone asks, How about Yocto? You skuld just walk out of the room.
Call me, or anyone else really working with #buildroot, instead. Your life will be much better, sleep improves, your loved ones will smile at you again. Sure, you may not make as much money, but you can see that as an investment in your sanity and happiness.
I may be biased, having seen the light that is #buildroot, but I really hate Yocto! 🤬 can’t wait to get off this assignment.

So, needless to say, I’ve started looking around for other opportunities. Even an early pension.
CV: I’m OK at Linux and UNIX systems. I have a few hobby projects that are #OpenSource and I’d like to work with #buildroot based systems if possible. #FediHire #Sweden
#Python package management question: Is there some way to have pip (and tools using it, e.g. Nox/Tox) use local sources and ideally distro installs, and only download from PyPI after explicit confirmation? I'm well aware of venv etc., my point is about the pip calls to set those up.
Ideally, what I'd want pip to do to resolve a package, in order:
1. Check a list of locally configured source directories. As in, if I have the repository for package A, I add that directory to a list/mapping, and then A always gets installed from the source as present there, or a specific tag.
2. Use the package as installed by my distro. This is similar to pipx install --system-site-packages, but I'd only want the explicitly installed packages available in the venv (or pipx install, etc.), not all, so tests can confirm that the dependencies listed in pyproject.toml are actually complete.
3. Use a local cache of PyPI (and optionally other sources) packages.
4. Fetch to/update cache only after explicit approval.index-url or find-links don't cover this, because they require pre-built sdist/wheel packages. I want to be able to work offline as far as possible, and keep track of the exact sources I'm using. Partially inspired by #Buildroot, which gives me an archive of all sources used in my firmware build as part of the concept.
As far as I see it now, if I really want this without heavily patching pip, my only option would be to implement all this as something that provides a web interface I can use as index-url, and I'm not excited about that idea. :neocat_laugh_sweat:

Dear #buildroot How often do you want to build gcc?
My feeling is your answer is "Yes".
The process of taking my developer #buildroot image filled with useful utilities to a minimal test case for one package (#vkmark) is certainly giving my processor a work out today. I may not need to turn on the office heater....
We’re excited to announce new release of Armbian, v24.11 codename Stirk. Check what's new in this release https://www.armbian.com/newsflash/armbian-v24-11/ #release #upgrade #software #server #fixes #aarch64 #armhf #amd64 #riscv64 #embedded #linux #armbian #debian #ubuntu #yocto #buildroot #infosec
Day two of limited #internet access due to #fibre issues. Spotty rural #5G is workable for small things, but so much for playing around with #buildroot and compiling a tweaked kernel for a #linux project this weekend.
If you aren't familiar with buildroot, it is a great way to create embedded linux systems. You can do so much customization with the tool and I have been reading on it all night. Def going to see what it does today!
Currently learning the world of Buildroot. Quite amazed at what it has to offfer.
Изучаем RISC-V с платой Sipeed M1S
Наконец-то появилось время и желание пощупать и опробовать в деле давно купленную отладку от Sipeed на базе RISC-V SoC BL808. Попутно я решил собрать материал по теме и поделиться с читателями своим опытом использования этого SoC в разных сценариях. Помимо обзора отладки и SoC я подробно расскажу, что предоставляет производитель для энтузиастов, состав SDK, как собрать Linux-ядро, примеры ее использования. Всем кому интересна данная тема — добро пожаловать под кат! =)
