This patch continues the process of setting up build-many-glibcs.py to
run as a bot monitoring for and reporting on build issues by adding a
bot-cycle action to the script. When this action is used, it will run
the checkout action (re-execing itself if it was changed by that
action), then rebuild whichever of host-libraries, compilers, glibcs
should be rebuilt based on changed versions, time elapsed and state of
previous builds. Email is sent with the results of the build (for
each build action done).
The rebuild logic is: if previous build time or versions aren't
recorded, rebuild that component. If the script has changed, rebuild
everything. If any relevant component version has changed, rebuild,
except for not rebuilding compilers if the time indicated in the bot
configuration has not passed since the last build of the compilers.
If one piece is rebuilt then rebuild subsequent pieces as well.
Using bot-cycle requires a configuration file bot-config.json in the
toplevel directory used by build-many-glibcs.py. It might contain
e.g.
{
"compilers-rebuild-delay": 604800,
"email-from": "Example Name <user@example.org>",
"email-server": "localhost",
"email-subject": "GCC 6 %(action)s %(build-time)s build results",
"email-to": "libc-testresults@sourceware.org"
}
My next intended step is adding a further action "bot" which loops
running bot-cycle then sleeping for an amount of time given in
bot-config.json. Then I'll set up a bot using that action (building
with GCC 6 branch; a bot using GCC mainline may wait until the SH
out-of-memory issues
<https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=78460> are fixed; I
expect the bot to mail to me until it seems ready to switch to mailing
to gcc-testresults).
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py: Add bot-cycle to usage message.
Import email.mime.text, email.utils and smtplib modules.
(Context.__init__): Initialize self.bot_config_json.
(Context.run_builds): Handle bot-cycle action.
(Context.load_bot_config_json): New function.
(Context.part_build_old): Likewise.
(Context.bot_cycle): Likewise.
(Context.bot_build_mail): Likewise.
(Context.bot_run_self): Likewise.
(get_parser): Allow bot-cycle action.
This directory contains the sources of the GNU C Library.
See the file "version.h" for what release version you have.
The GNU C Library is the standard system C library for all GNU systems,
and is an important part of what makes up a GNU system. It provides the
system API for all programs written in C and C-compatible languages such
as C++ and Objective C; the runtime facilities of other programming
languages use the C library to access the underlying operating system.
In GNU/Linux systems, the C library works with the Linux kernel to
implement the operating system behavior seen by user applications.
In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers.
The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the
GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[4567]86-*-gnu. The current
GNU/Hurd support requires out-of-tree patches that will eventually be
incorporated into an official GNU C Library release.
When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library
requires Linux kernel version 3.2 or later on all architectures except
i[4567]86 and x86_64, where Linux kernel version 2.6.32 or later
suffices.
Also note that the shared version of the libgcc_s library must be
installed for the pthread library to work correctly.
The GNU C Library supports these configurations for using Linux kernels:
aarch64*-*-linux-gnu
alpha*-*-linux-gnu
arm-*-linux-gnueabi
hppa-*-linux-gnu Not currently functional without patches.
i[4567]86-*-linux-gnu
x86_64-*-linux-gnu Can build either x86_64 or x32
ia64-*-linux-gnu
m68k-*-linux-gnu

mips-*-linux-gnu
mips64-*-linux-gnu
powerpc-*-linux-gnu Hardware or software floating point, BE only.
powerpc64*-*-linux-gnu Big-endian and little-endian.

maintainers; see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ for more

See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, and install
the GNU C Library. You might also consider reading the WWW pages for
the C library at http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/.
The GNU C Library is (almost) completely documented by the Texinfo manual
found in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated
and contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not
have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like. For
corrections to the manual, please file a bug in the `manual' component,
following the bug-reporting instructions below. Please be sure to check
the manual in the current development sources to see if your problem has
already been corrected.
Please see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for bug reporting
information. We are now using the Bugzilla system to track all bug reports.
This web page gives detailed information on how to report bugs properly.
The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying
conditions, and LICENSES for notices about a few contributions that require
these additional notices to be distributed. License copyright years may be
listed using range notation, e.g., 1996-2015, indicating that every year in
