Adds two new external authors to etc/update-copyright.py to cover
bfd/ax_tls.m4, and adds gprofng to dirs handled automatically, then
updates copyright messages as follows:
1) Update cgen/utils.scm emitted copyrights.
2) Run "etc/update-copyright.py --this-year" with an extra external
author I haven't committed, 'Kalray SA.', to cover gas testsuite
files (which should have their copyright message removed).
3) Build with --enable-maintainer-mode --enable-cgen-maint=yes.
4) Check out */po/*.pot which we don't update frequently.
The newer update-copyright.py fixes file encoding too, removing cr/lf
on binutils/bfdtest2.c and ld/testsuite/ld-cygwin/exe-export.exp, and
embedded cr in binutils/testsuite/binutils-all/ar.exp string match.
* src-release.sh: Add "-r <date>" option to create reproducible
tarballs based upon a fixed timestamp of <date>.
* binutils/README-how-to-make-a-release: Add a line showing how to
use -r <date> when creating a binutils release.
The result of running etc/update-copyright.py --this-year, fixing all
the files whose mode is changed by the script, plus a build with
--enable-maintainer-mode --enable-cgen-maint=yes, then checking
out */po/*.pot which we don't update frequently.
The copy of cgen was with commit d1dd5fcc38ead reverted as that commit
breaks building of bfp opcodes files.
I just came across the GDB 10.1 release notes and saw that md5 is still
being used in those. I thought it would be a good idea to instead have a
more modern, secure and wildly available hash function such as SHA256 as
part of the release process.
The changes have been done rather mechnically via sed but executing the
`src-release.sh -b gdb` did work so I am confident about the result.
While this does not directly address the release mails, I was wasn't
able to find the template/script used for those, this is probably still
an improvement.
ChangeLog:
* src-release.sh: Use sha256sum instead of md5sum.
binutils/ChangeLog:
* README-how-to-make-a-release: Use sha256sum instead of md5sum.
