FREEBSD-upgrade revision 33968
133968SjdpTo strip down a new version of GNU binutils for import, extract 233968Sjdpthe files like this: 333968Sjdp 433968Sjdp tar -xvzf binutils-2.8.1.tar.gz -X FREEBSD-Xlist 533968Sjdp 633968SjdpDon't eliminate the *z8* files. They're needed because of a stupid 733968Sjdphard-coded configure script in the opcodes subdirectory. 833968Sjdp 933968SjdpIf you decide to bring in more of the files, import them -- don't 1033968Sjdpuse "cvs add". And please remember to adjust the contents of 1133968Sjdp"FREEBSD-Xlist" so that it reflects what is really imported from 1233968Sjdpthe vendor. 1333968Sjdp 1433968SjdpMany of the files generated by GNU configure are present pre-built in 1533968Sjdpthe "src/gnu/usr.bin/binutils" tree. These can be regenerated for a 1633968Sjdpnew version of binutils by running the "update.sh" script in that 1733968Sjdpdirectory. 1833968Sjdp 1933968SjdpWhen upgrading to a new version, you also need to update the VERSION 2033968Sjdpdefinition in "src/gnu/usr.bin/binutils/Makefile.inc0". 21
