Hi all,

I wrote a short article for my company's newsletter (which we try to fill with
interesting stuff rather than commercial blabla) about recent (= last 5 years) developments in Buildroot. If anyone is interested, you can read it on our website [1]. It's CC-BY-SA licensed so you can reuse the text. You can download the source here[2].

Note: the newsletter will only be sent out tomorrow, so if you think I'm
writing something that's incorrect or not very good and it should be changed, there's still a bit of time...

Regards,
Arnout

Nice write-up, thanks.
One small note: when describing the external toolchain feature, you mention 'Sourcery, Linaro or a vendor supplied toolchain', but none of these cover the
case of a custom toolchain built differently, for example using crosstool-ng, full manual build, ... I would therefore either add an ellipsis, or
specify 'or another custom toolchain' or alike.

"The _OVERRIDE_SRCDIR variable"

Did you meant to write "The <pkg>_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR variable, but the <pkg> got eaten as an HTML tag ?

That's the only comment I have, the rest of the article is very good!

Thanks!

Thomas

Sorry, I'm running a bit late, but that's a very nice article, great!
