2007-05-22Implement a restart facility.
"Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@anciens.enib.fr> [Tue, 22 May 2007 20:46:07 +0000] rev 121
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>

"Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@anciens.enib.fr> [Tue, 22 May 2007 20:36:05 +0000] rev 116
Fix warning about setting --host and not --build.

2007-05-22Upgrade scripts/tarball.sh and scripts/saveSample.sh to use the new logging facility.

2007-05-21Move the config script for the build dir to the source dir.
"Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@anciens.enib.fr> [Mon, 21 May 2007 22:01:28 +0000] rev 114
Move the config script for the build dir to the source dir.
That will be useful when we have the restart functionality.

2007-05-20Fix gdb to install in CT_PREFIX_DIR rather than CT_INSTALL_DIR.
"Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@anciens.enib.fr> [Sun, 20 May 2007 16:18:40 +0000] rev 113
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.

2007-05-20Ah! I finally have a progress bar that doesn't stall the build!
"Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@anciens.enib.fr> [Sun, 20 May 2007 13:48:26 +0000] rev 112
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.
