glibc-ports-2.12.1 tarball

glibc-ports-2.12.1 tarball

[Lluís Batlle i Rossell]

Hello,

already some days passed since the release of glibc 2.12.1.
May someone add a glibc-ports tarball for it in the glibc ftp?

Thank you in advance,
Lluís.

 I too would like to see the 2.12 ports tarball. Is there going to be
one, or is the policy now not to produce them?

I don't think anyone knows what's going on.

Making the tar balls is effortless, I do not understand what the
problem is if someone makes a tag.  I can upload a tarball (I have
access to sourceware.org, and ftp.gnu.org) if someone who maintains
glibc-ports acks.

Alfred,

If the tarball is based on the tag glibc-2.12.1 made on August 4th by
Joseph Myers, then please upload. My apologies for not replying
sooner.

The community needs a global ports maintainer to step-up and commit to
organizing all of the activities required for the community to
function.

At the present time I'm not ready to commit to being the person that
organizes ports, but I've thought about it from time to time. I'll
think about it again in the new year :-)

Thank you very much for helping the community.

Cheers,
Carlos.

There should be a tarball somewhere near you when you read
this.  The following was used to generate, and upload:

git archive --prefix=glibc-ports-2.12.1/ glibc-2.12.1 > glibc-ports-2.12.1.tar
tar xf glibc-ports-2.12.1.tar
rm glibc-ports-2.12.1.tar
find glibc-ports-2.12.1 -name configure -print | xargs touch
tar -cf glibc-ports-2.12.1.tar glibc-ports-2.12.1
gzip -9c glibc-ports-2.12.1.tar > glibc-ports-2.12.1.tar.gz
bzip2 -9c glibc-ports-2.12.1.tar > glibc-ports-2.12.1.tar.bz2
~/gnulib/build-aux/gnuupload --to ftp.gnu.org:glibc \
 --to amszmidt@sources.redhat.com:~ftp/pub/glibc/releases \
 glibc-ports-2.12.1.tar.gz glibc-ports-2.12.1.tar.bz2

I'll send a small patch for the Makefile to handle this better, it
still assumes CVS.

   The community needs a global ports maintainer to step-up and commit to

I can help, but I do not have time to organise.
