ct-ng now needs the 'build' action to be passed when restarting/stopping at a specific step.
Don't use make to build steps, rather use CT_NG to call ct-ng.

Before trying to download sstrip (from buildroot), try a local copy first.

Update the overview documentation.

Update the armeb-unknown-linux-uclibc sample to:
- use latest binutils,
- build sstrip,
- build dmalloc and gdb.

Note: linux-2.6.21.5 for NSLU2 and busybox build!

Add binutils-2.17.50.0.17.

The armeb-unknown-linux-uclibc sample now builds without libfloat.
The generated toolchain is at least able to build busybox (which wasn't the case before).

Make checking the linux installed headers optional (instead of systematic).

Kill "./configure --local", it does not work and it is dangerous if one tries to "make uninstall"!

Get rid of eclipse fiels once and for all.
Homogenise the references to crosstool-NG:
- the project is named "crosstool-NG"
- the front-end is named "ct-ng"
- don't use shortcuts (such as "ct-ng" to stand for "crosstool-NG")
Default action is to print help.
Don't speak of make rules when dumping help, just speak of actions.

Bump version to +svn.

Bump version.

Don't install licenses files.

Fix handling --prefix.

Update docs/overview.txt to match the new way to call crosstool-ng: "ct-ng [action]" in lieu of "make [action]".

Rephrase the licensing of patches/

Little update to CREDITS.

Silence calling the saveSample.sh script.

Get rid of the eclipse files.

Update version back to +svn.
Note: to show that svn is current version plus current developements, the dash (-) has been replaced with a plus (+).
Thus, now that 0.1.0 has been released, we're preparing the next version, that is 0.1.0 plus svn developments, thus 0.1.0+svn

Bump version to 0.1.0

Fix running without installing.
Update README.
Point help to the man page.

chmod ct-ng to be executable in the build dir.

./configure gains a help entry.

Merge the build system to trunk: ct-ng is now installable:
- ./configure --prefix=/some/place
- make
- make install
- export PATH="${PATH}:/some/place/bin"
- ct-ng <action>

Better handling of the steps lists:
- new make rulle: liststeps,
- new help entry telling about liststeps,
- update documentation accordingly.

Make the progress bar a default for all samples.

Always call distclean after each sample when doing a regtest.

Update version to -svn.

Prepare to release crosstool-ng-0.0.5.

Rework the help system. For now, this is mostly a no-op (it only re-organise the help entries), but later, that may come in handy when we want ct-ng to be installable).

Offer an option to build the gdbserver statically. This helps in case of debugging shared library loading.

The log file is no longer configurable: it is always "${CT_PREFIX_DIR}/build.log".
Add an option to compress the log file upon successfull build.
Make rendering the toolchain read-only optional.
A few eye-candy fixes.

Default the progress bar to 'Y'.

Bail out if .config is missing.

Speak of regtest in "make help".

Update version to -svn.

Prepare to release crosstool-ng-0.0.4.

scripts/showSamples.sh:
- revert sample dumping to not show the components versions;

docs/overview.txt:
- reorder docs/overview.txt so that configuring comes before running,
- tell about regtest;

Makefile:
config/global.in:
- point to docs/overview.txt for the list of steps;

Add intermediate mesages when building regtests.
Distclean the repository after each sample during regtests.

Add the "regtest" make target: call "make regtest", and all samples wil be built, and a tarball made for each of them. First sample to fail causes the test to stop.

scripts/functions is responsible for initiating the log file.
Users of the log facility are in charge to use, move, delete this log file, now.

Fix printing components' file names.

Answer default values when doing a defoldconfig.

When doing a silent old config, don't check if stdin was redirected. ct-ng doesn't use this feature, and even better yet, it makes explicit use of redirecting both stdin and stdout at aome moments.

Add a function to print each component's filename: this eases building the tarball of the generated toolchain.
Hard-link the libfloat tarball instead of soft-link: this also eases building the afore-mentioned tarball.

When searching a matching extension for a file, also check for the empty extension.

Rework the generated config file handling.

Don't go menuconfig if no .config present.
Handle the case where targets does not exist when calling distclean.

dd the two latest versions of the linux kernel.

Add two te;plates on how to add a new tool/debug facility.

Stale log files are now named "log.*", not "*.log".

Small eye-candy fix.

Be a little more explicit when the user wants to restart a non-restartable build.

Revert revision 201: renaming the two cc_core passes was a bad idea.

scripts/build/libc_glibc.sh:
- clean up addons list creation,
- make NPTL work again with this.

Rename two steps to their real names:
- cc_core_pass_1 is really cc_core_static,
- cc_core_pass_2 is really cc_core_shared.

Add the first tool facility: sstrip.

Introduce the notion of tols facilities (none so far, sstrip coming right away...).

Kill duplicated help text.

Messages from the downloaders should be tagged ALL, not DEBUG.

Small fix in the log level when dumping the last messages (elapsed time).

Threading model does not belong to the target sub-menu, but to the toolchain sub-menu.

Fix and enhance the STOP/RESTART facility.

Fix comment about glibc's extra addons config option.

Don't start a state restoration if it is not available.
Fortuitly discovered that $SECONDS is inherited from shell to sub-shells. Good!

Fix libfloat when calling the compiler:
- when not compiling NPTL, the shared core C compiler does not exist,
- PATH arranges for the shared core C compiler to be found before the static one, so no need to force it.

Update tools/config.guess.

No longer mark NPTL as being EXPERIMENTAL.
But mark build a native gdb as being EXPERIMENTAL.

Forgot to remove all build system tools from the generated toolchain.

Merge the NPTL stuff.
That still leaves the linuxthreads stuff broken, but it was just before. I don't care anyway. Time to fix that later...

Add the possibility to stop after a specified step.
Update the Makefile help and the documentation accordingly.

In the non-canadian case, also force the build system.

Update version to -svn.

Prepare to release crosstool-ng-0.0.3.

We need to build libiberty before gcc only in the canadian case, not the opposite.

Correctly handle the log level overide in scripts/tarball.sh.

A little eye conady in the Makefile.

In CT_Abort(), don't send output to stderr. Let the log facility handle where things should go.

Sanitise CT_DoBuildTargetTriplet a bit.

Correctly handle the log level overide in scripts/saveSample.sh.
Little eye candy in scripts/showSamples.sh.

Update mips-unknown-linux-uclibc to the latest set of config options.

Mark broken samples as such: use a file named 'broken' in the sample's directory.
Reflected this state when listing samples (in scripts/showSamples.sh).

Be verbose when making build system tools available, and when access is removed. Log this to DEBUG.
Remove last remnants of color scheme.
Small fixes to some comments.

Update the svn:ignore property to get rid of the ever-changing Eclipse files.

Implement a restart facility.
If you select to debug ct-ng, then you have two new options:
- DEBUG_CT_PAUSE_STEPS : pause between every steps,
- DEBUG_CT_SAVE_STEPS : save state between every steps.
To restart a saved state, just set the RESTART make variable when calling make:
- make RESTART=<step_name>

Add two new versions to binutils.

Update the mips-unknown-linux-uclibc sample to the new set of config options.
Switch the ISA from mips32 to mips1.

Port the custom ISA patch to uClibc-0.9.29

Only prompt for libfloat for those target that support it.

Fix warning about setting --host and not --build.

Upgrade scripts/tarball.sh and scripts/saveSample.sh to use the new logging facility.

Move the config script for the build dir to the source dir.
That will be useful when we have the restart functionality.

Fix gdb to install in CT_PREFIX_DIR rather than CT_INSTALL_DIR.
One day, I swear, I will implement the install directory option. But later.

Ah! I finally have a progress bar that doesn't stall the build!
- pipe size in Linux is only 8*512=4096 bytes
- pipe size is not setable
- when the feeding process spits out data faster than the eating
process can read it, then the feeding process stalls after 4KiB
of data sent to the pipe
- for us, the progress bar would spawn a sub-shell every line,
and the sub-shell would in turn spawn a 'date' command.
Which was sloooww as hell, and would cause some kind of a
starvation: the pipe was full most of the time, and the
feeding process was stalled all this time.

Now, we use internal variables and a little hack based onan offset
to determine the elapsed time. Much faster this way, but still
CPU-intensive.

Forgot to svn add...

Add gcc-4.2.0 (EXPERIMENTAL) and some patches vampirised from buildroot (302 rediffed against 4.2.0).

Fix adding versions for the core C compiler.

Add uClibc-0.9.29:
- associated patch set
- update the munging function to accomodate the new config variables
libfloat version was missing from the previous commit... :-(
Better handle the case where the sample directory already exist but isn't under revision control, and in case the destination file doesn't exist in the sample directory.

Correctly handle the libfloat case: download, extract and patch sub-actions.
Small improvement in messages in scipts/functions when retrieving a file.

Remove an incorrect path from uClibc-0.9.29: we _do_ need a xgcc to buld this header!

Un-mark gdb and dmalloc being EXPERIMENTAL.
Mark native gdb as being EXPERIMENTAL (it depends on termcap, which we don't have yet).

Little fix up in a message during the dmalloc build.

Add dmalloc debug library facility.
Add patches for dmalloc.
Ignore the generated config/debug.in

Really use local copy first in case it does not have the same extension as the downloadable tarball.

Remove even more documentation.

Reverting to uClibc-0.9.28.3, as 0.9.29 spawns incorrect bits/sysnum.h (needs a xgcc first!).

Bah, forgot to ci CREDITS...

Patches for glibc-2.5, courtesy of "Robert P. J. Day" <rpjday@mindspring.com>

Make the debug config menu a generated file.
Add a uClibc-0.9.29 patch directory with one patch (from me!).
Update the armeb-unknown-linux-uclibc sample to uClibc-0.9.29.
Some eyecandy in the gdb build process.

Debug facilities:
- add a framework to easily add new ones
- add gdb as a first debug facility
- add patches for gdb
After the kernel checked its installed headers, clean up the mess of .checked.* files.
Reorder scripts/crosstool.sh:
- dump the configuration early
- renice early
- get info about build system early, when setting up the environment
- when in cross or native, the host tools are those of the build system, and only in this case
- elapsed time calculations moved to scripts/functions
Remove handling of the color: it's gone once and for all.
Update tools/addToolVersion.sh:
- handle debug facilities
- commonalise some code
- remove dead tools (cygwin, tcc)
Point to my address for bug reports.

Move the whole threading ;odel choice out of glibc and into the generic C library options: even uClibc may have NPTL at one point in the (hopefully near) future.
Mark the progress bar as being CPU-intensive.
Little style fix to the core C compiler build step.

Quiet some messages from the configurators. We don't need them.

Oupsss... Didn't save scripts/crosstool.sh prior to comiting. :-(

update the documentation somewhat. Still not complete, though... :-(

Remove dead entries for components not yet integrated: cygwin kernel, tcc...
Some fixups in config entries, to avoid warnings when parsed by the kconfig parser.

Update version to -svn.

Mark version 0.0.2.

Correctly handle the version string, defined in a single place now.
Fix and update README.

New make target to save the configured nad built!) toolchain.

Like tweak to the armeb-xscale-linux-uclibc sample to not renice the build.
