<p>This document collects information about successfully releasing LLVM to the
|
|
public. It is the release manager's guide to ensuring that a high quality build
|
|
of LLVM is released. Mostly, it's just a bunch of reminders of things to do at
|
|
release time so we don't inadvertently ship something that is utility
|
|
deficient.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
There are three main tasks for building a release of LLVM:
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Create the LLVM source distribution.</li>
|
|
<li>Create the LLVM GCC source distribtuion.</li>
|
|
<li>Create a set of LLVM GCC binary distribtuions for each supported
|
|
platform. These binary distributions must include compiled versions
|
|
of the libraries found in <tt>llvm/runtime</tt> from the LLVM
|
|
source distribution created in Step 1.</li>

|
<p>Tag and branch the CVS HEAD using the following procedure:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Request all developers to refrain from committing. Offenders get commit
|
|
rights taken away (temporarily).
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
The Release Manager updates his/her llvm, llvm-test, and llvm-gcc source
|
|
trees with the
|
|
latest sources from mainline CVS. The Release Manage may want to consider
|
|
using a new working directory for this to keep current uncommitted work
|
|
separate from release work.
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
The Release Manager tags his/her llvm, llvm-test, and llvm-gcc working
|
|
directories with
|
|
"ROOT_RELEASE_XX" where XX is the major and minor
|
|
release numbers (you can't have . in a cvs tag name). So, for Release 1.2,
|
|
XX=12 and for Release 1.10, XX=110.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<tt>cvs tag ROOT_RELEASE_XX</tt><br>
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Immediately create cvs branches based on the ROOT_RELEASE_XX tag. The tag
|
|
should be "release_XX" (where XX matches that used for the ROOT_RELEASE_XX
|
|
tag). This is where the release distribution will be created.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
cvs tag -b -r ROOT_RELEASE_XX release_XX
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Advise developers they can work on CVS HEAD again.
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
The Release Manager and any developers working on the release should switch
|
|
to the release branch (as all changes to the release will now be done in
|
|
the branch). The easiest way to do this is to grab another working copy
|
|
using the following commands:
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<tt>cvs -d <CVS Repository> co -r release_XX llvm</tt><br>
|
|
<tt>cvs -d <CVS Repository> co -r release_XX llvm-test</tt><br>

|
|
<p>You can, optionally, create source and binary RPM packages for LLVM. These
|
|
may make it easier to get LLVM into a distribution. This can be done with
|
|
the following commands:</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
make dist # Build the distribution source tarball
|
|
make dist-check # Check that the source tarball can build itself.
|
|
cp llvm-M.m.tar.gz /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES # Required by rpmbuild
|
|
make srpm # for source rpm
|
|
make rpm # for binary rpm
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>First, use "make dist" to simply build the distribution. Any
|
|
failures need to be corrected (on the branch). Once "make dist" can be
|
|
successful, do "make dist-check". This target will do the same thing as the
|
|
'dist' target but also test that distribution to make sure it can build itself
|
|
and runs "make check" as well. This ensures that needed files are not
|
|
missing and that the src tarball can be successfully unpacked, built,
|
|
installed, and cleaned. Once you have a reliable tarball, you need to copy
|
|
it to the /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES directory which is a requirement of the
|
|
rpmbuild tool. The last two "make" invocations just run rpmbuild to build
|
|
either a source (<tt>srpm</tt>) or binary (<tt>rpm</tt>) RPM package.</p>

|
|
<p>
|
|
Creating the LLVM GCC binary distribution requires performing the following
|
|
steps for each supported platform:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Build the LLVM GCC front-end. The LLVM GCC front-end must be installed in
|
|
a directory named <tt>cfrontend/<platform>/llvm-gcc</tt>. For
|
|
example, the Sparc/Solaris directory is named
|
|
<tt>cfrontend/sparc/llvm-gcc</tt>.
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Build the libraries in <tt>llvm/runtime</tt> and install them into the
|
|
created LLVM GCC installation directory.
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
For systems with non-distributable header files (e.g. Solaris), manually
|
|
remove header files that the GCC build process has "fixed." This process
|
|
is admittedly painful, but not as bad as it looks; these header files are
|
|
almost always easily identifiable with simple grep expressions and are
|
|
installed in only a few directories in the GCC installation directory.
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Add the copyright files and header file fix script.
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Archive and compress the installation directory. These can be found in
|
|
previous releases of the LLVM-GCC front-end.

<div class="doc_text">
|
|
<p>The first thing you need to understand is that there are multiple make
|
|
targets to support this feature. Here's an overview, we'll delve into the
|
|
details later.</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><b>distdir</b> - builds the distribution directory from which the
|
|
distribution will be packaged</li>
|
|
<li><b>dist</b> - builds each of the distribution tarballs (tar.gz,
|
|
tar.bzip2, .zip). These can be built individually as well, with separate
|
|
targets.</li>
|
|
<li><b>dist-check</b> - this is identical to <tt>dist</tt> but includes a
|
|
check on the distribution that ensures the tarball can: unpack successfully,
|
|
compile correctly, pass 'make check', and pass 'make clean'.</li>
|
|
<li><b>dist-clean</b>- this just does a normal clean but also cleans up the
|
|
stuff generated by the other three <tt>dist</tt> targets (above).</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Okay, that's the basic functionality. When making a release, we want to
|
|
ensure that the tree you build the distribution from passes
|
|
<tt>dist-check</tt>. Beyond fixing the usual bugs, there is generally one
|
|
impediment to making the release in this fashion: missing files. The
|
|
<tt>dist-check</tt> process guards against that possibility. It will either
|
|
fail and that failure will indicate what's missing, or it will succeed
|
|
meaning that it has proved that the tarballs can actually succeed in
|
|
building LLVM correctly and that it passes <tt>make check</tt>.</p>
|
|
<!-- ======================================================================= -->
|
|
<div class="doc_subsection">distdir</div>
|
|
<p>This target builds the distribution directory which is the directory from
|
|
which the tarballs are generated. The distribution directory has the same
|
|
name as the release, e.g. LLVM-1.7). This target goes through the following
|
|
process:
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>First, if there was an old distribution directory (for the current
|
|
release), it is removed in its entirety and you see <tt>Removing old
|
|
LLVM-1.7</tt></li>
|
|
<li>Second, it issues a <tt>make all ENABLE_OPTIMIZED=3D1</tt> to ensure
|
|
that the everything in your tree can be built in release mode. Often times
|
|
there are discrepancies in building between debug and release modes so it
|
|
enforces release mode first. If that fails, the <tt>distdir</tt> target
|
|
fails too. This is preceded by the message <tt>Making 'all' to verify
|
|
build</tt>.</li>
|
|
<li>Next, it traverses your source tree and copies it to a new directory
|
|
that has the name of the release (<tt>LLVM-M.m</tt> in our current case).
|
|
This is the directory that will get tar'd. It contains all the software
|
|
that needs to be in the distribution. During the copying process, it omits
|
|
generated files, CVS directories, and any other "cruft" that's in your
|
|
build tree. This is done to eliminate the possibility of huge distribution
|
|
tarballs that include useless or irrelevant stuff in them. This is the
|
|
trickiest part of making the distribution. Done manually you will either
|
|
include stuff that shouldn't be in the distribution or exclude stuff that
|
|
should. This step is preceded by the message <tt>Building Distribution
|
|
Directory LLVM-1.7</tt></li>
|
|
<li>The distribution directory is then traversed and all <tt>CVS</tt> or
|
|
<tt>.svn</tt> directories are removed. You see: <tt>Eliminating CVS/.svn
|
|
directories from distribution</tt></li>
|
|
<li>The recursive <tt>dist-hook</tt> target is executed. This gives each
|
|
directory a chance to modify the distribution in some way (more on this
|
|
below).</li>
|
|
<li>The distribution directory is traversed and the correct file
|
|
permissions and modes are set based on the type of file.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>To control the process of making the distribution directory correctly,
|
|
each Makefile can utilize two features:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li><b><tt>EXTRA_DIST</tt></B> - this make variable specifies which files
|
|
it should distribute. By default, all source files are automatically
|
|
included for distribution as well as certain <tt>well known</tt> files
|
|
(see DistAlways variable in Makefile.rules for details). Each Makefile
|
|
specifies, via the <tt>EXTRA_DIST</tt> variable, which additional files
|
|
need to be distributed. Only those files that are needed to build LLVM
|
|
should be added to <tt>EXTRA_DIST</tt>. <tt>EXTRA_DIST</tt> contains a
|
|
list of file or directory names that should be distributed. For example,
|
|
the top level Makefile contains
|
|
<tt>EXTRA_DIST := test llvm.spec include</tt>.
|
|
This means that in addition to regular things that are distributed at the
|
|
top level (<tt>CREDITS.txt, LICENSE.txt</tt>, etc.) the distribution should
|
|
contain the entire <tt>test</tt> and <tt>include</tt> directories as well
|
|
as the <tt>llvm.spec</tt> file.</li>
|
|
<li><b><tt>dist-hook</tt></B> - this make target can be used to alter the
|
|
content of the distribution directory. For example, in the top level
|
|
Makefile there is some logic to eliminate files in the <tt>include</tt>
|
|
subtree that are generated by the configure script. These should not be
|

distributed. Similarly, any <tt>dist-hook</tt> target found in any
|
|
directory can add or remove or modify things just before it gets packaged.
|
|
Any transformation is permitted. Generally, not much is needed.
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>You will see various messages if things go wrong:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>During the copying process, any files that are missing will be flagged
|
|
with: <tt>===== WARNING: Distribution Source 'dir/file' Not Found!</tt>
|
|
These must be corrected by either adding the file or removing it from
|
|
<tt>EXTRA_DIST</tt>.
|
|
<li>If you build the distribution with <tt>VERBOSE=1</tt>, then you might
|
|
also see: <tt>Skipping non-existent 'dir/file'</tt> in certain cases where
|
|
its okay to skip the file.</li>
|
|
<li>The target can fail if any of the things it does fail. Error messages
|
|
should indicate what went wrong.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<!-- ======================================================================= -->
|
|
<div class="doc_subsection">dist</div>
|
|
<p>This target does exactly what <tt>distdir</tt> target does, but also
|
|
includes assembling the tarballs. There are actually four related targets
|
|
here:<p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><b><tt>dist-gzip</tt></b>: package the gzipped distribution tar
|
|
file. The distribution directory is packaged into a single file ending in
|
|
<tt>.tar.gz</tt> which is gzip compressed.</li>
|
|
<li><b><tt>dist-bzip2</tt></b>: package the bzip2 distribution tar file.
|
|
The distribution directory is packaged into a single file ending in
|
|
<tt>.tar.bzip2</tt> which is bzip2 compressed.</li>
|
|
<li><b><tt>dist-zip</tt></b>: package the zip distribution file. The
|
|
distribution directory is packaged into a single file ending in
|
|
<tt>.zip</tt> which is zip compressed.</li>
|
|
<li><b><tt>dist</tt></b>: does all three, dist-gzip, dist-bzip2,
|
|
dist-zip</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<!-- ======================================================================= -->
|
|
<div class="doc_subsection">dist-check</div>
|
|
<p>This target checks the distribution. The basic idea is that it unpacks the
|
|
distribution tarball and ensures that it can build. It takes the following
|
|
actions:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>It depends on the <tt>dist-gzip</tt> target which, if it hasn't already
|
|
been built, builds the gzip tar bundle (see dist and distdir above).</li>
|
|
<li>removes any pre-existing <tt>_distcheckdir</tt> at the top level.</li>
|
|
<li>creates a new <tt>_distcheckdir</tt> directory at the top level.</li>
|
|
<li>creates a <tt>build</tt> subdirectory and an <tt>install</tt>
|
|
subdirectory under <tt>_distcheckdir</tt>.</li>
|
|
<li>unzips and untars the release tarball into <tt>_distcheckdir</tt>,
|
|
creating <tt>LLVM-1.7</tt> directory (from the tarball).</li>
|
|
<li>in the build subdirectory, it configures with appropriate options to build
|
|
from the unpacked source tarball into the <tt>build</tt> directory with
|
|
installation in the <tt>install</tt> directory.</li>
|
|
<li>runs <tt>make all</tt></li>
|
|
<li>runs <tt>make </tt><tt>check</tt></li>
|
|
<li>runs <tt>make install</tt></li>
|
|
<li>runs <tt>make uninstall</tt></li>
|
|
<li>runs <tt>make dist</tt></li>
|
|
<li>runs <tt>make clean</tt></li>
|
|
<li>runs <tt>make dist-clean</tt></li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>If it can pass all that, the distribution will be deemed distribution
|
|
worth y and you will see:<p>
|
|
<pre>===== LLVM-1.7.tar.gz Ready For Distribution =====</pre>
|
|
<p>This means the tarball should then be tested on other platforms and have the
|
|
nightly test run against it. If those all pass, THEN it is ready for
|
|
distribution.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
A note about disk space: using <tt>dist-check</tt> will easily triple the
|
|
amount of disk space your build tree is using. You might want to check
|
|
available space before you begin.</p>
|
|
<!-- ======================================================================= -->
|
|
<div class="doc_subsection">dist-clean</div>
|
|
<h2>dist-clean</h2>
|
|
<p>In addition to doing a normal <tt>clean</tt>, this target will clean up the
|
|
files and directories created by the distribution targets. In particular the
|
|
distribution directory <tt>(LLVM-X.X</tt>), check directory
|
|
(<tt>_distcheckdir</tt>), and the various tarballs will be removed. You do
|
|
this after the release has shipped and you no longer need this stuff in your
|
|
build tree.</p>
