[Buildroot] Buildroot 2021.02.1 released

[Peter Korsgaard]

Hi,

Buildroot is a simple tool for creating complete embedded Linux systems
(http://buildroot.org).

Buildroot 2021.02.1 is released - Go download it at:

http://buildroot.org/downloads/buildroot-2021.02.1.tar.gz

or

http://buildroot.org/downloads/buildroot-2021.02.1.tar.bz2

Or get it from Git:

git://git.buildroot.org/buildroot

Buildroot 2021.02.1 is a bugfix release on the current long term
release, fixing a number of important / security related issues
discovered since the 2021.02 release.

- Dependencies: Explicitly detect and bail out if PATH contains spaces
  or tabs. A number of packages fail to build in such setups, so
  explicitly inform about this.

- utils/scanpypi: Explicitly use python3 for compatibility with packages
  using python3 syntax in setup.py

- support/download: Fix tarball generation (from git/svn repos)
  including symlinks pointing to ./<something>. Fix svn download
  for <1.9 clients or repos using CVS-style keywords.

- Meson: Use correct C++ host compiler (rather than C compiler)

- Python{,3}: Fix byte compiling python files with short (single
  character before .py) file names.

- CPE meta data has been added for a large number of packages

- SELinux handling for alsa-utils, bridge-utils, dmidecode, hwloc,
  kexec, kexec-lite, kismet, logrotate and mcelog
