Use parallel compression to create the xz archive.
On my machine (using 4 cores) this reduces the time to create
binutils-2.42.50.tar.xz from 1 minute 40 seconds to 56 seconds.
xz has supported -T0 since version 5.2.0 (released 2014-12-21).
Without this, a simulator build breaks when building from a tarball
made by "./src-release.sh -b sim", when building e.g. bfd and
libsframe. See also previous similar commits for GDB_SUPPORT_DIRS.
The libctf library does not needed to be built, but building
libsframe requires libctf/swap.h, with no dependencies on built or
configured contents. Do as for the single gdb files and include
explicitly only that file.
This script was recently changed as follow:
| commit e619dddb3a
| Date: Tue Nov 15 15:07:13 2022 -0800
| Subject: src-release.sh: Add libsframe
|
| Add libsframe to the list of top level directories that will be included
| in a release.
Since then, the gdb source tarball has been failing with the error
below during the "make configure-host configure-target" phase:
| make[3]: *** No rule to make target '../libsframe/libsframe.la',
| needed by 'libbfd.la'. Stop.
| make[3]: Leaving directory '/tmp/gdb-public/bfd'
This patch fixes the issue by adding libsframe to the list of
GDB_SUPPORT_DIRS, similar to what was done for BINUTILS.
ChangeLog:
* src-release.sh (GDB_SUPPORT_DIRS): Add libsframe.
* src-release.sh: Add "-r <date>" option to create reproducible
tarballs based upon a fixed timestamp of <date>.
* binutils/README-how-to-make-a-release: Add a line showing how to
use -r <date> when creating a binutils release.
After the previous commit that imported libbacktrace from gcc, this
commit updates src-release.sh so that the libbacktrace directory is
included in the gdb release tar file.
ChangeLog:
* src-release.sh (GDB_SUPPPORT_DIRS): Add libbacktrace.
The indentation of the body of the nested statements got out of sync
leading to the entire function being indented incorrectly and looking
like it's part of the for loop.
I just came across the GDB 10.1 release notes and saw that md5 is still
being used in those. I thought it would be a good idea to instead have a
more modern, secure and wildly available hash function such as SHA256 as
part of the release process.
The changes have been done rather mechnically via sed but executing the
`src-release.sh -b gdb` did work so I am confident about the result.
While this does not directly address the release mails, I was wasn't
able to find the template/script used for those, this is probably still
an improvement.
ChangeLog:
* src-release.sh: Use sha256sum instead of md5sum.
binutils/ChangeLog:
* README-how-to-make-a-release: Use sha256sum instead of md5sum.

This patch moves gdbserver to the top level.
This patch is as close to a pure move as possible -- gdbserver still
builds its own variant of gnulib and gdbsupport. Changing this will
be done in a separate patch.
[v2] Note that, per Simon's review comment, this patch changes the
tree so that gdbserver is not built for or1k or score. This makes
sense, because there is apparently not actually a gdbserver port here.
[v3] This version of the patch also splits out some configury into a
new file, gdbserver/configure.host, so that the top-level configure
script can simply rely on it in order to decide whether gdbserver
should be built.
[v4] This version adds documentation and removes some unnecessary
top-level dependencies.
[v5] Update docs to mention "make all-gdbserver" and change how
top-level configure decides whether to build gdbserver, switching to a
single, shared script.
Tested by the buildbot.

The move of gdbsupport to the top level directory requires a small
change to src-release.sh's "getver" function, which is responsible for
determining the version string that will be appended to the release
tarball: now the create-version.sh script lives under ./gdbsupport,
and not under gdb/gdbsupport anymore.
This patch unbreaks the snapshot generation, which hasn't been working
since January 14th.
ChangeLog:
2020-01-29 Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com>
* src-release.sh (getver): Look for gdbsupport's
create-version.sh script at the current directory if tool is
"gdb".
Change-Id: Id3b8bed6583a1aaa120c07009366f6c94a62d5db
This patch moves the gdbsupport directory to the top level. This is
the next step in the ongoing project to move gdbserver to the top
level.
The bulk of this patch was created by "git mv gdb/gdbsupport gdbsupport".
This patch then adds a build system to gdbsupport and wires it into
the top level. Then it changes gdb to use the top-level build.
gdbserver, on the other hand, is not yet changed. It still does its
own build of gdbsupport.

We're forgetting to include the libctf directory when creating the
snapshot. This commit changes src-release.sh and adds it to
GDB_SUPPORT_DIRS.

As of today we have just the following oddities left
./gnulib/update-gnulib.sh:ver=`autoconf --version 2>&1 | head -1 | sed 's/.*) //'`
./gnulib/update-gnulib.sh:ver=`automake --version 2>&1 | head -1 | sed 's/.*) //'`
./gnulib/update-gnulib.sh:ver=`aclocal --version 2>&1 | grep -v "called too early to check prototype" | head -1 | sed 's/.*) //'`
./src-release.sh: head -1 $tool/version.in
./contrib/dg-extract-results.sh:tail -2 $FIRST_SUM | $GREP '^#' > /dev/null || tail -2 $FIRST_SUM
gnulib and contrib (from gcc) are outside of binutils control, so with
this patch I'm going to declare this 15 year old bug fixed.
PR 29
* src-release.sh (getver): Replace "head -1" with "head -n 1".
A recent change renamed the common/ directory into gdbsupport/ in gdb.
This causes problems in the getver function in the src-release script
which doesn't find the create-version.sh script anymore. As a result,
it falls back on using the version.in file verbatim, meaning that
the "DATE" placeholder doesn't get replaced with the snapshot date,
and the "-git" suffix doesn't get stripped. More precisely, we get
snapshots called "gdb-8.3.50-DATE-git.tar" instead of (e.g.)
"gdb-8.3-20190712.tar".
This commit fixes the issue by adding support for this situation.
I left the support for $tool/common/create-version.sh, because
the sim still uses that directory structure.
ChangeLog:
* src-release (getver): If $tool/gdbsupport/create-version.sh
exists, use that to determine the version number.
top * src-release.sh (do_proto_toplev): Add libctf to list of
directories that can be disabled.
binutils* README-how-to-make-a-release: Add libctf to list of directories
that need updates in their ChangeLogs.
bfd * config.bfd: Move the powerpc-lynxos and powerpc-windiss targets
into the definitely obsolete list.
binutils * README-how-to-make-a-release: Add a note about updating the
obsolete targets in the bfd/config.bfd file.

Update dg-extract-results.* from gcc
dg-extract-results.sh was moved from the "gdb/contrib/" directory to
the toplevel "contrib/" directory. However, src-release.sh was not
updated in order to include "contrib/" in the tarball release of GDB.
This makes it very inconvenient to run and analyze the GDB testsuite
results. This commit adds "contrib/" to the list of support
directories that are included in each GDB release.
ChangeLog:
2018-09-12 Sergio Durigan Junior <sergiodj@redhat.com>
* src-release.sh (GDB_SUPPORT_DIRS): Add "contrib".
Since we are updating src-release.sh I thought I would check in this
small patch. It adds the option to create lzip compressed tarballs
via the -l command line option.
* src-release.sh (LZIPPROG): New define. Provides the name of the
lzip program.
(do_lz): New function. Compresses a tarball using the lzip
program.
(do_compress): Add support for lzip compression.
(usage): Mention -l option.
(build_release): Support -l option to invoke lzip compression.
gold needs to be enabled for a binutils release, but it's rather odd
to do so for gas, gdb or sim. This patch passes various --enable and
--disable options depending on the directories being released.
* src-release.sh (do_proto_toplev): Revert last patch. Enable or
disable binutils, gas, gdb, gold, gprof, ld, libdecnumber, readline,
and sim depending on $tool and $support_files. Echo configure line.
Small change required after we switched the gdb version scheme to
using a -git suffix rather than a -cvs one.
ChangeLog:
* src-release.sh: Compute the gdb tarball name by stripping
'-git' rather than '-cvs'.
Tested by running "src-release.sh gdb" and verifying the tarball
name as well as its contents.
* sim-release.sh (tar_compress): If there's a fifth parameter,
use that in the getver call instead of $tool.
(sim_release): Pass gdb as fifth parameter to tar_compress.
(SIM_SUPPORT_DIRS): Add gdb/common/create-version.sh.
This began as an attempt to make a few small changes to src-release
but heeding the comments at the top of the file it seemed it might be
wise to convert it to a shell script instead which should hopefully
be more maintainable.
This shell script contains most of the functionality of the Makefile
version. It can be run like this:
# This will build gdb and compress with bzip2, gzip and xz
./src-release.sh -bgx gdb
The functionality that has been removed is building tarballs for insight
and gnats, which were broken in the current repository layout and
gas+binutils which amounted to basically the same thing as binutils so
didn't seem worth keeping. The script always builds a tar file,
compression is optional, so no need for specific commands to build tar
files rather than compressed tar files.
The build of gas releases has been fixed, as has extraction of version
numbers which had been broken since the switch to configure.ac files
and AC_INIT.
I also removed the code for distcleaning the intl sub-directory as it
seems like that issue has been fixed.
The script is capable of compressing with bzip2, gzip and xz which
should cover all formats available on gnu.org.
I tested it by producing release tarballs which are substantially
identical to the ones produced by the src-release script.
