Updates for kbuild 2.5 at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=18813 I made the mistake of use the sourceforge fast release system. Turns out it creates new releases for each file so there are multiple 'Release 2.0' headings. Ignore that, they are all part of Release 2.0. kbuild-2.5-core-5.bz2. Changes from core-4 to core-5. Split config immediately after make *config instead of as a side effect of the next target. Cleaner rules, fewer special cases. Add include/sound on include list. New command 'select_elsewhere()'. A complete kludge to work around the crc32.o problem in 2.5 kernels. Selection of CONFIG_CRC32 should really be done in CML but CML1 cannot cope, so add a kbuild kludge to overcome the incomplete CML data. Fix a bug where cached timestamps prevented the detection of some config changes. kbuild-2.5-common-2.4.18-4.bz2. Changes from common-2.4.18-3 to common-2.4.18-4. DocBook tweaks. Add dummy dep rule for people who forget that make dep is not required. New - support for 2.5 kernels, starting with 2.5.8-pre3. i386 only for now, ia64 to follow. kbuild-2.5-common-2.5.8-pre3-1.bz2. Built from scratch, there was too much divergence between 2.4.18 and 2.5.8-pre3 Makefiles. The result was cross checked against Peter Samuelson's patch for 2.5.6pre1, for which much thanks. kbuild-2.5-i386-2.5.8-pre3-1.bz2 Mainly from i386-2.4.18-1, with updates for i386-2.5.8-pre3. TODO: Add config help to common-2.5.8-pre3-1. I could not decide where to put the config help in 2.5 so I left it until -2. Sync common-2.4.19-pre* with common-2.4.18-n. Will be done when next 2.4.19-pre* kernel comes out. Add 2.4.18-ia64-020410 support. Already supports 2.4.18-ia64-020226. Add 2.5.8-pre3-ia64-020411 support. Wait for other arch maintainers to roll patches against kernel 2.5. Create Release 2.1 with the latest version of each kernel and arch branch. See how stable release 2.1 is then contact Linus. ___ kbuild-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kbuild-devel

New core and common code for kbuild 2.5 is available in http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=18813release_id=83065 Changes from core-3 to core-4. GNUism removal. WISH is exposed in case your wish binary is not in /usr/bin/wish. awk changed to $(AWK) throughout. PP_variables added to expose headers and compiler flags that might be different on on non-Linux build platforms. Force the use of KBUILD_SHELL instead of relying on a working build platform shell. Drop back to getopt if getopt_long is not available on the build platform, in which case only the single character command flags are available. Documentation updates. *** kbuild 2.5-core-4 runs on Solaris using gcc, gmake, gawk. *** Would any brave (or foolhardy) person like to run kbuild 2.5 under Cygwin or other build platforms? Changes from common-2.4.18-2 to common-2.4.18-3. Yet more aic7xxx problems :( Documentation updates. Correct fencepost error in scripts/tkparse. Changes from common-2.4.19-pre6-1 to common-2.4.19-pre6-2. As for common-2.4.18-2 - 3. ___ kbuild-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kbuild-devel

New core, common and ia64 code for kbuild 2.5 is available in http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=18813release_id=83065 Changes from core-2 to core-3. Ensure that database records are aligned. Do not assume that keys are aligned (all the world is not a 386). Changes from common-2.4.18-1 to common-2.4.18-2. Minor changes to common code to suit ia64. New, ia64-020226-2.4.18-1. core-3 works on ia64, it should work on other architectures that have alignment requirements such as sparc. Other architecture maintainers can use core-3 and common-2.4.18-2 as a starting point for porting this release of kbuild 2.5 to their architecture. The existing arch patches from Release 1.12 are a good starting point, ia64 was almost unchanged from Release 1.12 to 2.0. I have not tested any of the kbuild 2.5 code on big endian machines. It should work as is but it would be nice to have it confirmed. ___ kbuild-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kbuild-devel

Hi, Keith Owens wrote: It takes time to do all the analysis to work out what has changed and what has been affected. You might know that you only changed one file but kernel build and make don't know that until they have checked everything. Changing one file or specifying a command override might affect one file or it might affect the entire kernel. Doing that analysis once is fine. After that it should know what it has to check if I only want foo/bar.o recompiled and that shouldn't take that long. Otherwise let kbuild work out what has been affected. That's the problem with kernel hackers, they want to know what's going on. :) bye, Roman ___ kbuild-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kbuild-devel

Changing one file or specifying a command override might affect one file or it might affect the entire kernel. If you know that you have only changed one source file and you have not altered the Makefiles or the dependency chain in any way, then it _might_ be safe to just rebuild that one file, use NO_MAKEFILE_GEN=1. Otherwise let kbuild work out what has been affected. Humans/Hackers are really really REALLY good at making assumptions and using assumptions that are outdated, thus leading to mistakes. Some/many hackers like to live in there own little world and not worry about the effect they might have on other developers. Using a dependency maintenance tool (such as Make, Cook, ...) to automate the build is the _ONLY_ safe way to be sure the build is correct. This assumes that the build system itself is 100% correct :) Regards, Brendan Simon. ___ kbuild-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kbuild-devel

Although it says 2.5, kbuild 2.5 will run on 2.4 kernels, it was developed on 2.4. The timings above were for exactly the same .config on the same build machine, building a 2.4.16 kernel, using the existing and new kernel build system. Compared to the existing build system, kbuild 2.5 is much more robust (I found several bugs in the 2.4 rules while developing kbuild 2.5), provides more facilities, has debugging information, is more accurate (2.5 tracks everything, 2.4 only managed about 80% tracking accuracy) and still manages to run 30% faster than the existing build system. Although kbuild 2.5 will run on 2.4 kernels, I have no plans to send all of kbuild 2.5 to Marcelo. Changing the kernel build on a stable kernel is a bad idea. I will be sending some kbuild 2.4 bug fixes to Marcelo but not the rest of kbuild 2.5. I am now working on kbuild 2.5 patches for 2.4.18, 2.4.19-pre6, 2.5.7 and 2.5.8-pre1 as well as for other architectures, see http://sourceforge.net/projects/kbuild for updates. ___ kbuild-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kbuild-devel
