========= Binutils Maintainers =========
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
This is the list of individuals responsible for maintenance and update
|
|||
|
of the GNU Binary Utilities project. This includes the linker (ld),
|
|||
|
the assembler (gas), the profiler (gprof), a whole suite of other
|
|||
|
programs (binutils) and the libraries that they use (bfd and
|
|||
|
opcodes). This project shares a common set of header files with the
|
|||
|
GCC and GDB projects (include), so maintainership of those files is
|
|||
|
shared amoungst the projects.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The home page for binutils is:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
http://www.gnu.org/software/binutils/binutils.html
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
and patches should be sent to:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
binutils@sourceware.org
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
with "[Patch]" as part of the subject line. Note - patches to the
|
|||
|
top level config.guess and config.sub scripts should be sent to:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
config-patches@gnu.org
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
and not to the binutils lists. Patches to the other top level
|
|||
|
configure files (configure, configure.ac, config-ml.in) should
|
|||
|
be sent to the binutils lists, and copied to the gcc and gdb
|
|||
|
lists as well (gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org and
|
|||
|
gdb-patches@sourceware.org).
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Patches to the libiberty sources should be sent to
|
|||
|
gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
--------- Blanket Write Privs ---------
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The following people have permission to check patches into the
|
|||
|
repository without obtaining approval first:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Nick Clifton <nickc@redhat.com> (head maintainer)
|
|||
|
Ian Lance Taylor <ian@airs.com>
|
|||
|
Jeff Law <law@redhat.com>
|
|||
|
Jim Wilson <wilson@tuliptree.org>
|
|||
|
DJ Delorie <dj@redhat.com>
|
|||
|
Alan Modra <amodra@gmail.com>
|
|||
|
Michael Meissner <gnu@the-meissners.org>
|
|||
|
Richard Sandiford <rdsandiford@googlemail.com>
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
--------- Maintainers ---------
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Maintainers are individuals who are responsible for, and have
|
|||
|
permission to check in changes in, certain subsets of the code. Note
|
|||
|
that maintainers still need approval to check in changes outside of
|
|||
|
the immediate domain that they maintain.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
If there is no maintainer for a given domain then the responsibility
|
|||
|
falls to the head maintainer (above). If there are several
|
|||
|
maintainers for a given domain then responsibility falls to the first
|
|||
|
maintainer. The first maintainer is free to devolve that
|
|||
|
responsibility among the other maintainers.

--------- Past Maintainers -------------
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
These folks have acted as maintainers in the past, but have now
|
|||
|
moved on to other things. Our thanks for all their hard work
|
|||
|
goes with them.
|
|||

|
|||
|
|
|||
|
--------- CGEN Maintainers -------------
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
CGEN is a tool for building, amongst other things, assemblers,
|
|||
|
disassemblers and simulators from a single description of a CPU.
|
|||
|
It creates files in several of the binutils directories, but it
|
|||
|
is mentioned here since there is a single group that maintains
|
|||
|
CGEN and the files that it creates.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
If you have CGEN related problems you can send email to;
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
cgen@sourceware.org
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The current CGEN maintainers are:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Doug Evans, Frank Eigler
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
--------- Write After Approval ---------
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Individuals with "write after approval" have the ability to check in
|
|||
|
changes, but they must get approval for each change from someone in
|
|||
|
one of the above lists (blanket write or maintainers).
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
[It's a huge list, folks. You know who you are. If you have the
|
|||
|
*ability* to do binutils checkins, you're in this group. Just
|
|||
|
remember to get approval before checking anything in.]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
------------- Obvious Fixes -------------
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Fixes for obvious mistakes do not need approval, and can be checked in
|
|||
|
right away, but the patch should still be sent to the binutils list.
|
|||
|
The definition of obvious is a bit hazy, and if you are not sure, then
|
|||
|
you should seek approval first. Obvious fixes include fixes for
|
|||
|
spelling mistakes, blatantly incorrect code (where the correct code is
|
|||
|
also blatantly obvious), and so on. Obvious fixes should always be
|
|||
|
small, the larger they are, the more likely it is that they contain
|
|||
|
some un-obvious side effect or consequence.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
--------- Branch Checkins ---------
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
If a patch is approved for check in to the mainline sources, it can
|
|||
|
also be checked into the current release branch. Normally however
|
|||
|
only bug fixes should be applied to the branch. New features, new
|
|||
|
ports, etc, should be restricted to the mainline. (Otherwise the
|
|||
|
burden of maintaining the branch in sync with the mainline becomes too
|
|||
|
great). If you are uncertain as to whether a patch is appropriate for
|
|||
|
the branch, ask the branch maintainer. This is:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
(cf global maintainers)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
-------- Testsuites ---------------
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
In general patches to any of the binutils testsuites should be
|
|||
|
considered generic and sent to the binutils mailing list for
|
|||
|
approval. Patches to target specific tests are the responsibility the
|
|||
|
relevant port maintainer(s), and can be approved/checked in by them.
|
|||
|
Other testsuite patches need the approval of a blanket-write-priveleges
|
|||
|
person.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
-------- Configure patches ----------
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Patches to the top level configure files (config.sub & config.guess)
|
|||
|
are not the domain of the binutils project and they cannot be approved
|
|||
|
by the binutils group. Instead they should be submitted to the config
|
|||
|
maintainer at:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
config-patches@gnu.org
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
--------- Creating Branches ---------
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Anyone with at least write-after-approval access may create a branch
|
|||
|
to use for their own development purposes. In keeping with FSF
|
|||
|
policies, all patches applied to such a branch must come from people
|
|||
|
with appropriate copyright assignments on file. All legal
|
|||
|
requirements that would apply to any other contribution apply equally
|
|||
|
to contributions on a branch.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Before creating the branch, you should select a name for the branch of
|
|||
|
the form:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
binutils-<org>-<name>
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
where "org" is the initials of your organization, or your own initials
|
|||
|
if you are acting as an individual. For example, for a branch created
|
|||
|
by The GNUDist Company, "tgc" would be an appropriate choice for
|
|||
|
"org". It's up to each organization to select an appropriate choice
|
|||
|
for "name"; some organizations may use more structure than others, so
|
|||
|
"name" may contain additional hyphens.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Suppose that The GNUDist Company was creating a branch to develop a
|
|||
|
port of Binutils to the FullMonty processor. Then, an appropriate
|
|||
|
choice of branch name would be:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
binutils-tgc-fm
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
A date stamp is not required as part of the name field, but some
|
|||
|
organizations like to have one. If you do include the date, you
|
|||
|
should follow these rules:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
1. The date should be the date that the branch was created.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
2. The date should be numerical and in the form YYYYMMDD.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
For example:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
binutils-tgc-fm_20050101
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
would be appropriate if the branch was created on January 1st, 2005.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Having selected the branch name, create the branch as follows:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
1. Check out binutils, so that you have a git checkout corresponding
|
|||
|
to the initial state of your branch.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
2. Create a tag:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
git tag binutils-<org>-<name>-branchpoint
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
That tag will allow you, and others, to easily determine what's
|
|||
|
changed on the branch relative to the initial state.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
3. Create and push the branch:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
git checkout -b binutils-<org>-<name>-branch
|
|||
|
git push origin HEAD
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
4. Document the branch:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Add a description of the branch to binutils/BRANCHES, and check
|
|||
|
that file in. All branch descriptions should be added to the
|
|||
|
HEAD revision of the file; it doesn't help to modify
|
|||
|
binutils/BRANCHES on a branch!
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Please do not commit any patches to a branch you did not create
|
|||
|
without the explicit permission of the person who created the branch.
