My putback of
6785284 Mapfile versioning rules need to be more visible to gatelings
is a flag day for those with preexisting workspaces that have not
pulled this change. You will see an error in the report from the
nightly script if all of the following are true:
- Your build machine has been updated with the new version of
the SUNWonbld build tools resulting from 6785284.
- Your workspace has not been updated to contain the fix
for 6785284.
- You execute the copy of the nightly script supplied by the
build machine via PATH, rather than the copy found in your
workspace.
- You use the -r option to nightly to check ELF attributes
- You do not use the +t option to nightly, which disables
use of the tools contained in the workspace.
If all of the above hold, you will see the following in the
report email from nightly:
==== Check ELF runtime attributes ====
[-a] process all files (ignore any exception lists)
[-d dir] establish dependencies from under directory
[-i] produce dynamic table entry information
[-m] process mcs(1) comments
[-o] produce one-liner output (prefixed with pathname)
[-s] process .stab and .symtab entries
Unknown option: v
usage: check_rtime [-a] [-d depdir] [-m] [-o] [-s] file | dir, ...
6785284 adds a new option to check_rtime (-v), and modifies nightly to use
it. In the situation described above, the new version of nightly ends up
calling an old version of check_rtime.
There are several workarounds. You can avoid the above by taking any
one of the following steps. I list them in rough order of preference,
with the best option first:
- Update your workspace.
- Invoke the copy of nightly.sh found in your workspace as
$SRC/tools/scripts/nightly.sh, instead of using the version
found via PATH.
- Use the +t option to nightly. This causes it to completely
ignore the tools in your workspace and use the build server
supplied tools for everything.
- Don't upgrade the tools on your build server until your
workspaces have pulled the changes from 6785284.
- Don't specify the -r option to nightly
I apologize for the inconvenience.
