This commit adds fetching the latest upstream version of each package from release-monitoring.org. The fetching process first tries to use the package mappings of the "Buildroot" distribution [1]. This mapping mechanism allows to tell release-monitoring.org what is the name of a package in a given distribution/build-system. For example, the package xutil_util-macros in Buildroot is named xorg-util-macros on release-monitoring.org. This mapping can be seen in the section "Mappings" of https://release-monitoring.org/project/15037/. If there is no mapping, then it does a regular search, and within the search results, looks for a package whose name matches the Buildroot name. Even though fetching from release-monitoring.org is a bit slow, using multiprocessing.Pool has proven to not be reliable, with some requests ending up with an exception. So we keep a serialized approach, but with a single HTTPSConnectionPool() for all queries. Long term, we hope to be able to use a database dump of release-monitoring.org instead. From an output point of view, the latest version column: - Is green when the version in Buildroot matches the latest upstream version - Is orange when the latest upstream version is unknown because the package was not found on release-monitoring.org - Is red when the version in Buildroot doesn't match the latest upstream version. Note that we are not doing anything smart here: we are just testing if the strings are equal or not. - The cell contains the link to the project on release-monitoring.org if found. - The cell indicates if the match was done using a distro mapping, or through a regular search.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC.
