61 <p>Turns out the problem is that we are attempting to do a cvs add from outside of the repository. Portgd works from one directory and checks out an los178.from and an los178.to. Then from that directory it attempts to cvs add los178.to/&lt;path&gt;/&lt;dir&gt;. This will not work. We need, instead, to cd los178.to then do cvs add &lt;path&gt;/&lt;dir&gt;.</p>
62
63 <p>But portgd was also having a problem trying to recursively add the directories above new files. How to debug/test this is the question...</p>

119 </ul>
120                               
121                               <h3>Portgd Challenges</h3>
122
123 <p>One of the problems with portgd is that the from CVS repository really needs to be set to HEAD because you want the latest but you're gonna pull the CRs by number and individual file revisions. This may cause problems sometimes (think ordering of CR numbers where pulling one CR overwrites a previous one in the wrong way. BTW This is why branching is good!)</p>
124
125 <p>Additionally portgd has a problem where the CR introduces new elements (Clearcase term - think new files and/or directories). When portgd attempts to cp the file to the to CVS repository it may fail because the parent directory did not previously exist and is not in the to CVS repository.</p>
126
127 <p>The portgd script can be updated to check to insure that each directory in the path of the file revision to be "ported" exists and if not then to create it and add it to CVS. It should also check to see if the file is new and again copy it but also add it to CVS.</p>

175 <h3>GDB Build Failure</h3>
176
177 <p>For some reason it turns out that several libraries such as libc.a appear in the dev area as if they were built as production. IOW the size of libc.a(dev) == libc.a(pdn). Don't know why this happened because the install.log for dev seems to indicate that it was built in dev mode. May be a problem in the build_los178 script. Rebuilding...</p>
178
179 <p>Also, due to hardcoding of bison's location we must build in /usr/los178/2.1.0/ppc_dev.</p>

259
260 <p>I managed to get Ada built (with a few procedural errors that Jesse's looking into) on hornet using the 20050623 devos. Note that the process requires a 3.4.3 or greater native toolchain. Luckily there is one available on t3, however the following symlinks were required:</p>
261
262 <div class="code"><pre>
263     $ mkdir -p /usr/products/compilers
264     $ cd /usr/products/compilers
265     $ ln -s /net/t3/export/tools_prod/products/compilers/FSF FSF
266     $ ln -f /net/t3/export/tools_prod/products/compilers/FSF/gcc-3.4.3 latest
267 </pre></div>
268
269 <p>Also note the usage and reliance on amd and the -hosts map. Finally the build process expects the "latest" link but the compiler itself expects FSF.</p>
270
271 <p>Jesse is also looking into what would be required to build utilizing a later devos.</p>

322
323 <p>Was asked to port the changed from LOS178 -> GD again. As this is a frequent occurance it screams for automation. As I had already coded a verifycrs, which essentially automates verification of ported [E}CRs from one repository to another, it seems a simple case to derive as script to do the porting. Coded up portgd. Note that portgd does not perform automatic building - just porting of the files associated with the passed in [E}CRs.</p>

325 <h3>build_los178_343</h3>
326
327 <p>Changed build_los178_343 to go back to using scp to obtain the toolchain tarball. This is still kludgy because it entails hardcoding the location (which is date based) of the source tarball. However, using NFS requires that the NFS area is accessible and in the past it was an automount point to an assumed -hosts map location. That doesn't work on Linux systems using autofs (an investigation of using amd instead of autofs has not yet been performed). As such, from a Linux system, the toolchain tarball was not easily accessible via NFS. So we're back to using scp, which has it's own problems, namely the assumption that passwordless scp access has been set up.</p>
