Hello all!
I'm pleased to announce the release of crosstool-NG 1.17.0!
Due to late core changes, and my being at the ELC-E and LinuxCon Europe
conferences this week, this release comes a bit later than usual. Sorry
about that... :-(
As usual, there has been quite a number of improvements, new features,
and bug fixes all around. Except for one very large new feature, this
release has been rather calm. The most notable changes are listed below:
- it is now possible to use local copies of most of the components:
binutils, elf2flt, gcc, gdb, newlib, uClibc, linux
support for glibc/eglibc local copies will be available in the next version
- a new architecture has been added as an experimental feature: microblaze
so far, it requires local copies of most components (binutils, gcc, and
glibc), but support is currently being pushed upstream to the corresponding
projects
- components have been updated to the latest version(s):
linux, gcc, newlib, gdb
- a new debug feature has been added, to spawn a shell with the current
environment, when a command fails, so user has a chance to try and fix
the issue without haviong to restart the complete build
- a bunch of bugs have been fixed here and there
To be noted, the samples now account for a much lower percentage of the
changes. This, thanks to the switch to using defconfigs for samples,
instead of full config files.
Also, I'm now using pathwork to manage the patches that are sent to the
list. For those interested, I'll detail my new workflow in a separate
message (as a reply to this one). Globally, I'm very happy to be using
patchwork, it has made things a bit easier to manage! :-)
This marks the beginning of the 1.17 maintenance branch, and the end of
the previous maintenance branch. As always, comments and suggestions
are most welcome!

Hello All!

As promised, here's a more detailed view on how I manage patches being
sent to the list.
Since about mid-September, the guys at OzLabs [0] have been kind enough to
host an instance of patchwork [1] for use by the crosstool-NG project [2].
Patchwork works as thus:
- an email address is subscribed to the mailing list, for delivery to the
patchwork user at OzLabs;
- when it receives a mail, patchwork tries to see if there is a patch in it;
- if there is a patch, it is stored in the patchwork DB, and made available
via a web interface, or via an XMLRPC interface;
- if there is no patch, but the mail is a reply to a patch, then it is
stored in the patchwork DB, and it is possible to display the complete
thread on the web interface; moreover, SoB-lines (sob, ack...) that
appear in replies are automatically added to any patch when it is
retrieved via the XMLRPC interface;
- patches are attached a status: New, Accepted, Rejected, Under Review...
it is thus easy to filter patches;
- anyone can register to patchwork with their email, and then can set the
status for the patches they sent.
So, here's the workflow I use to apply patches:
1- I read the mails in the list with my MUA, briefly review patches for
obvious issues and comments.
2- I wrote a script that automatically grabs a patch from patchwork, and
applies it as a new MQ patch in the current repository clone. In the
process, it stores the patchwork ID and message ID in the commit log, as
sob-like lines (you've started seing them on recent commits, I hope!).
3- I further review and test the patches. If I have more comments, I go back
to my MUA, and further reply to the patch.
4- When a patch is good for upstream, I push it with an alias (pwpush) that:
- pushes the changes upstream (with hg push)
- scans the new commits for patchwork and/or message IDs
- for each patchwork ID, updates the status to Accepted
- for each message ID, sends a mail to the patch author, and any other
recipient listed as SoB, Ack, Test, or Cc; the mails are also CCed to
the list, you've probably seen some of them recently.
5- For patches that are not accepted, I manually change their status to an
appropriate state, after I explain why on the list. Patches that are not
fit are set to Rejected, patches that have seen a second round are marked
as Superseded. I also from time to time set the status to "Changes
Requested" or "Not Applicable", but that's rare.
Basically, I treat any status that is not 'New' as a terminal status, and
I only act on New patches. Here's the current status of the patchwork DB
after about three months of usage:
42 Accepted
17 Superseded
9 New
4 Rejected
4 Changes Requested
1 Not Applicable
77 Total
Using patchwork has been a major improvement from my previous workflow, which
involved manually copying mails to a different mailbox, and skimming the list
for those patches I may have forgotten. Now, I can see at a quick glance, and
with a simple command, what patches have been left unattended, what they are
about, and what they look like.
Here's a typical session (outputs have been stripped for brevity):
$ hg pwlist
Available patches for project 'crosstool-ng':
193156 New fix eglibc-2.16 manual build
$ hg pwview 193156 | colordiff
[email-body aka commit-log, followed by colored patch,]
[on stdout; a colored patch is very nice to work with!]
$ hg pwqimport 193156
retrieving patch...
patch subject is: fix eglibc-2.16 manual build
adding fix_eglibc-2.16_manual_build to series file
$ hg qseries -sv
0 A fix_eglibc-2.16_manual_build: fix eglibc-2.16 manual build
# diff, build, test...
$ hg qfinish fix_eglibc-2.16_manual_build
$ hg pwpush
pushing to [upstream url]
remote: added 1 changesets with 1 changes to 1 files
updating Patchwork ID(s) for cset #381356803e87:
- 193156, done
sending mail(s) for cset #381356803e87:
- <886f1bbadce3c2a5ea07.1348202558@localhost.localdomain>, done
I'll be polishing my script in the next few days, and will make it available
for those interested.
I hope you found this little story interesting! ;-)

Yann E. MORIN.

Congratulations! I guess the e-mail title should have been
"crosstool-NG 1.17.0 is out".
FYI, I have posted a news related to this release at

Gah... 11 days late, three hours preparing the release and the mail,
and all of that ruined by a single copy-paste mistake. Sigh... ;-]

Whaoo! That news article is very detailed! Congrats!
And emlinews is a very good initiative. I'll try to think about reading
and updating it when I can! ;-)

Hello all!
I'm pleased to announce the release of crosstool-NG 1.16.0!
This release has been centered around fixing bugs all over the place, and
updating the components versions, while no new core feature has been added.
So, this version of crosstool-NG should be more stable and reliable.
Anyway, here is a list of the most notable changes:
- samples are now defconfigs: the saved .config are smaller, and it should
be easier to reuse older .config with new versions
- components have been updated to include all the latest versions:
- gcc
- linux
- eglibc
- uClibc
- gdb
This marks the beginning of the 1.16 maintenance branch, and the end of
the previous maintenance branch. As always, comments and suggestions
are most welcome!
The release can be found at the following URLs:
Changelog: http://crosstool-ng.org/download/crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng-1.16.0.changelog
Tarball: http://crosstool-ng.org/download/crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng-1.16.0.tar.bz2
Patches: http://crosstool-ng.org/download/crosstool-ng/01-fixes/1.16.0/
As a reminder, the home for crosstool-NG is:

Crosstool-NG also has a Freshmeat page:
