Make 2.0 release: Harkonnen
100%
Description
Once all the scheduled 2.0 issues are closed I can make a 2.0 release.
See RM #691, RM #538, RM #427 and RM #348 for examples of making the release.
Ironman will not be released with Harkonnen.
The Dev Platform and all System package collections (RM #894) must be archived and compressed (RM #782).
Steps to release¶
- Reassign severity/priority of issues to to 2.0.
- Move issues to 3.0

Doing all builds on my colo I've run into several problems related to networking and the Docker image.
- Docker iptables don't always mesh with the host iptables when doing certificate checks with wget. To get around this, add the following to ~/.wgetrc
- check_certificate = off.
- Docker may try to bind ipv6 addresses instead of ipv4 which can break when trying to connect to some remote archives. To get around this, enable ipv6 forwarding on the host
- sudo sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
- The colo site may block some remote sites in places like Russia (such as strace.io). This may require patches to the package.mk files in Buildroot.
I'm doing the builds on the colo to avoid large file transfers from home exceeding my xfer limits on Comcast. If I do them on the colo I can just copy the build artifacts to their local archive locations without any network bandwidth used. It's interesting to see what issues I run into when doing it like this that I don't see on my home systems.

This is now complete. I posted the News item and a short blog post on the web site. But I didn't do a wider announcement because at this point I don't think it matters.
I'm closing this issue and starting work on 3.0. That will likely be my last release, unless I get a boatload done really quickly. After that, I'll retire the project or hand it off to some interested party.
