3 To get a copy of the Binutils source from the Sourceware CVS repository
4 this command line was used:
6 cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.cygnus.com:/cvs/src login
7 # password is "anoncvs"
9 cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.cygnus.com:/cvs/src \
10 export -r binutils-2_12-branch -l src
11 cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.cygnus.com:/cvs/src \
12 export -r binutils-2_12-branch \
13 src/bfd src/binutils src/config src/etc src/gas src/include \
14 src/ld src/libiberty src/opcodes
17 This corresponds to the binutils-2_12-branch at 21-Feb-2002 14:10 PST.
19 To strip down a new version of GNU binutils for import (starting with a
20 checked out copy from the Sourceware anoncvs repo), prune files like this:
22 for F in `cat FREEBSD-deletelist`
23 do find . -name "$F" -exec rm -rfv {} \; ;
26 This command should be repeated until no files are shown as being deleted.
27 (do not eliminate the *z8* files. They're needed because of a stupid
28 hard-coded configure script in the opcodes subdirectory)
30 We need a complete include/elf directory -- even with bits for CPU's we
33 cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.cygnus.com:/cvs/src \
34 export -r binutils-2_12-branch src/include/elf
37 If you decide to bring in more of the files, import them -- do not use
38 ``cvs add''. And please remember to adjust the contents of "FREEBSD-Xlist"
39 and "FREEBSD-deletelist" so that it reflects what is really imported from
42 The vendor import was done by:
44 cvs import src/contrib/binutils FSF binutils_2_12_anoncvs_20020221
47 Note that many of the files generated by GNU configure are present pre-built
48 in the "src/gnu/usr.bin/binutils" tree. These can be regenerated for a new
49 version of binutils by running the "update.sh" script in that directory.
51 When upgrading to a new version, you also need to update the VERSION
52 definition in "src/gnu/usr.bin/binutils/Makefile.inc0".
54 Also, verify that all applicable vendor changes to
55 contrib/binutils/ld/genscripts.sh are propogated to
56 src/gnu/usr.bin/binutils/ld/genscripts.sh.
