Background

Baserock 15.34 is released!

Definitions compatibility

The Baserock reference systems are defined using version 5 of the definitions format. In 15.25, version 3 was used.

The baserock-15.34 tag of definitions can be built with Morph from 15.25. This should mean upgrading is fairly simple.

The version of Morph in Baserock 15.34 can build definitions versions 3, 4, 5, and 6. For more information about these versions, see here: http://wiki.baserock.org/definitions

Changes since 15.25

  • This release includes a GENIVI Kronos K-0.2 Baseline.

  • Added migrations scripts, and established some guidelines for writing migration scripts. Check the README file for more information about these.

  • Numerous components moved between strata.

  • New components added:

    • GNU wget
    • samba

  • Some components have been updated:

    • cpython to 2.7.10 (python 2) and 3.4.2 (python 3)
    • perl to 5.22
    • libsoup to 2.48.0

  • Updates to Morph, Baserock's build tool, including:

    • Support for definitions version 6 (disable build system autodetection, and add support to specify the build system within a stratum).

    • Various distbuild fixes and improvements.

    • Set chunk commands' stdin to /dev/null.

    • Added 'bitbucket' repo alias to default aliases.

    • Warn if system-integration commands are defined for an unknown artifact
