BuildStream 1.6.8 released
Hi all,
This is another bugfix release in the 1.6.x stable series.
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 1.6.8
=================
o Only test remote CAS push capabilities if push is enabled.
This improves compatibility with new grpcio releases.
o Dummy sandbox for checking out from dirrefernt arches.
Ability to check out build artifacts with incompatible arch
assuming no commands need to be run.
o Backport regex flags fix to support newer versions of Python

Sure.
I'll also make sure to include a word of caution that the 1.x line is
still under LGPL.

Got it.

Release announcements, WAS: Re: BuildStream 1.6.8 released

Hi Tristan,
Thanks for taking care of another maintenance release of BuildStream.
To avoid confusion, let's include in the intro that maintenance releases
are not Apache releases. If we can ensure that the subject line for the
1.x maintenance releases are always "BuildStream" and the 2.x line will be
"Apache BuildStream" that will help even more.
When it comes to release candidates, let's ensure we don't use the term
"released", but rather mention that a candidate is available for
evaluation. We're currently using a high number 1.x number (1.95.x) for
the 2.x release candidates as to not burn the 2.0 number - l suggest
we mention 2.0 in the subject for clarity for release candidates.
Cheers,
Sander
