Baserock 8 release
by Tiago Gomes
Baserock 8 is released
======================
The [Baserock team], and [Codethink Limited] are proud to announce the
release of version 8 of the Baserock system.
What is new in this version?
----------------------------
We have added rudimentary support for upgrades. This works for rawdisk
images and running systems (over ssh). Changes to /etc are not yet
preserved, this will be done in a future release of Baserock.
We include version F-1.1 of the Baserock GENIVI Baseline in this release.
Other changes
--------------------------------------------
* Screen was added to tools morphology.
* Nano was added to core morphology.
* Readline was removed from core morphology.
* Build-essential robustness was improved.
* Bootloader installation for disk images is now optional.
* The ssh configuration extension was improved to allow adding public ssh
keys to known_hosts file.
* New configuration extension to install additional files to the deployed
system.
* New configuration extension to configure network by parsing the
NETWORK_CONFIG environment variable and constructing a
"etc/network/interfaces" file accordingly.
* Specifying DISK_SIZE is now mandatory when deploying an image.
* New environment variable (AUTOSTART) that defines if the VM
should be automatically initiated when deploying to kvm.
* Morph now automatically detects cmake and qmake build systems.
How do I get started?
---------------------
You can find a [quick start] guide on the [Baserock wiki] and also
a short guide on [developing with Baserock] which follows on from
the quick start guide and shows you how to get to the point of proving
you can build Baserock within Baserock.
From that point on, your imagination is the limit. You can follow our
development in the [Git repositories] we publish.
How do I get in contact?
------------------------
The Baserock project has an [IRC channel] and [mailing list] for
developers to gather and discuss anything associated with
