Introduce the notion of a 'sample comment'.
- presence of the sample's reported.by file is now mandatory. - when saving a sample, reporter name & URL are queried, to avoid operator forget about creating the reported.by file. - when saving a sample, one can store a few-liner comment. - when recalling a sample, the reporter name, URL and comment (if present) are printed. - update the powerpc-e500v2-linux-gnuspe sample to include Nate's comment (from his original mail). - update all samples that were missing the reported.by file. /trunk/scripts/saveSample.sh | 46 35 11 0 ++++++++++++++++++------ /trunk/scripts/showSamples.sh | 12 6 6 0 +++--- /trunk/samples/powerpc-e500v2-linux-gnuspe/reported.by | 15 15 0 0 ++++++++ /trunk/samples/samples.mk | 22 17 5 0 +++++++++-- 4 files changed, 73 insertions(+), 22 deletions(-)

+reporter_comment="This is a sample config file for Freescale e500v2 processors (e.g.,
+MPC8548, MPC8572). It uses eglibc (for e500/SPE patches) and a recent
+gcc (4.3.1, for e500v2 DPFP support) and will generate appropriate
+dual-precision floating point instructions by default.
+
+Note: If building a Linux kernel with this toolchain, you will want to
+make sure -mno-spe AND -mspe=no are passed to gcc to prevent SPE
+ABI/instructions from getting into the kernel (which is currently
+unsupported). At this time, the kernel build system only passes
+-mno-spe by default (this should be fixed soon hopefully).
+
+A binutils snapshot is used to fix a bug present in 2.18 preventing
+U-Boot from being compiled (CodeSourcery issue #2297: internal.h
+(ELF_IS_SECTION_IN_SEGMENT): Adjust to cope with segments at the end of
+memory)."
