This patch makes build-many-glibcs.py record the component versions
checked out, and whether those versions were explicitly requested or
defaults, in a file versions.json in the source directory.
The preferred version of a component is the first of: one explicitly
specified on the command line; one explicitly specified on the command
line in a previous run of build-many-glibcs.py; a default version for
that component. Thus, once you've run build-many-glibcs.py checkout
once with the updated script (making sure to specify the right
versions of any components previously checked out with a non-default
version), in future you can just run it without version specifiers and
it will know when a default-version component has changed its default
version and so should be checked out again.
Because you might have local changes and not want a default-version
component checkout replaced, you need to pass the --replace-sources
option to allow the script to delete and replace a component source
directory automatically; otherwise, it will give an error if a version
has changed. The script does not try to change branches of git or SVN
checkouts without checking out from scratch; if the version number
requested has changed and --replace-sources is used, the relevant
source directory will be removed completely and a new one checked out
from scratch.
Apart from allowing automatic updates of components with default
versions, this also facilitates bots reporting on the versions used in
a given build. versions.json contains not just information on the
version number and whether that was requested explicitly, but also git
or SVN revision information intended to be used in email reports from
bots.
