Hi all,
This is the first release of new stable branch 1.4.
BuildStream 1.4 is compatible in every way with previous BuildStream 1
releases, and is not to be confused with the immense amount of ongoing
work to ultimately create BuildStream 2, for which there is still no
release date planned.
BuildStream 1.4 is a small feature release meant to address a few of
the current pain points people are having with BuildStream 1.
What is BuildStream ?
=====================
BuildStream is a Free Software tool for building/integrating software
stacks. It takes inspiration, lessons and use-cases from various
projects including OBS, Reproducible Builds, Yocto, Baserock,
Buildroot, Aboriginal, GNOME Continuous, JHBuild, Flatpak Builder and
Android repo.
BuildStream supports multiple build-systems (e.g. autotools, cmake,
distutils, make, meson), and can create outputs in a range of formats
(e.g. debian packages, flatpak runtimes, sysroots, system images) for
multiple platforms and chipsets.
=================
buildstream 1.4.0
=================
o Elements may now specify 'build-depends' and 'runtime-depends' fields
to avoid having to specify the dependency type for every entry in
'depends'.
o Elements may now specify cross-junction dependencies as simple strings
using the format '{junction-name}:{element-name}'.
o New `fatal-warnings` has been added to the project.conf format, allowing
projects to specify which warnings they want to consider as fatal.
Support for the following warnings is included:
o overlaps: When staged artifact files overlap
(deprecates: 'fail-on-overlap')
o ref-not-in-track: When the source implementation finds that
the ref is out of bounds for the tracking config
o git:inconsistent-submodule: A .gitmodules file is present but the
submodule was never added to the repo.
o git:unlisted-submodule: A submodule exists but is not specified
in the YAML declaration.
o git:invalid-submodule: A submodule is specified in the YAML
declaration but does not exist at the
given ref in the git repository.
o BuildStream now depends on python3 ujson (for some internal
serializations)
o Workspaces can now be opened as relative paths.
Existing open workspaces will not be converted to relative paths,
(they need to be closed and opened again to get the new behavior).
o Dependencies can now be specified as strict to force rebuild in
non-strict mode. This is useful for statically linked dependencies
(#254).
o Git source plugins can optionally track human readable refs using
the output of `git describe`.
