8. Update bfd/version.m4 on HEAD to indicate that is now a snapshot
of the next release:
- m4_define([BFD_VERSION], [2.37.50])
+ m4_define([BFD_VERSION], [2.38.50])
Update the release number in bfd/version.m4 for the BRANCH.
The branch only needs the point value set to 90 as the release
has not actually happened yet.
- m4_define([BFD_VERSION], [2.36.90])
+ m4_define([BFD_VERSION], [2.37.90])
Regenerate various files on both branch and HEAD by configuring
with "--enable-maintainer-mode --enable-gold" and then building
c. Build a test target using this tarball.
- cp binutils-2.36.90.tar.xz /dev/shm
+ cp binutils-2.37.90.tar.xz /dev/shm
pushd /dev/shm
tar xvf binutils-2.36.90.tar.xz
mkdir build
cd build
- ../binutils-2.36.90/configure --quiet --enable-gold
+ ../binutils-2.37.90/configure --quiet --enable-gold
make
popd
d. Upload the pre-release snapshot to the sourceware FTP site:
- scp binutils-2.36.90.tar.xz sourceware.org:~ftp/pub/binutils/snapshots
- ssh sourceware.org sha256sum ~ftp/pub/binutils/snapshots/binutils-2.36.90.tar.xz
+ scp binutils-2.37.90.tar.xz sourceware.org:~ftp/pub/binutils/snapshots
+ ssh sourceware.org sha256sum ~ftp/pub/binutils/snapshots/binutils-2.37.90.tar.xz
e. Clean up the source directory again.
