Steps to upgrade port compiler and binutils

These instructions assume ravenadm has already been updated with the last ports compiler and/or binutils and that the task is to rebuild a fresh set of packages on a supported platform. Obviously this package set includes updated compiler/binutils/toolchain packages.

Latest procedure

  1. Update ravensource

    The ravensource is required because ravensys-gcc is temporarily modified to speed up the process. Also building ravenadm from source may prevent a version warning, potentially having to disable the ncurses option to allow the build

    cd <ravensource repo location>
git pull

  2. Rebuild ravenadm

    eval `ravenadm dev jump ravenadm`
ravenadm dev buildsheet . save
ravenadm force ravenadm

  3. Install the latest ravenadm

    ravensw add --force /path/to/profile/packages/All/ravenadm-single-standard-<version>.tzst

  4. Update conspiracy

    ravenadm update-ports

  5. Modify ports compiler buildsheet

    eval `ravenadm dev jump ravensys-gcc`
vi specification

    add the following to the CONFIGURE_ARGS list:

    --disable-bootstrap
--disable-cc1

  6. Build the latest ports compiler

    ravenadm dev buildsheet . save
ravenadm force ravensys-gcc

  7. If binutils have been updated, build those as well

    ravenadm force ravensys-binutils

  8. Package the new toolchain

    ravenadm force ravensys-toolchain

  9. Make a copy of the current sysroot and toolchain just in case

    cd /raven/share
cp -a raven raven.backup

  10. Replace the current toolchain with the updated one

    ravensw remove "ravensys-toolchain-*"  (answer yes)
ravensw add /var/ravenports/primary/packages/All/ravensys-toolchain-single-standard-5.0.tzst  (example)

  11. Set SKIPCCRUN in environment

    vi ~/.profile         (as non-root user)
    • add "export SKIPCCRUN=yes" and save (:wq)
    • "exit" to log off
    • log back as the regular user
    • "su" to become root
    • "env" to confirm SKIPCCRUN is defined in the environment

  12. Create new profile in ravenadm and activate it

    ravenadm configure

    The purpose of this is to preserve the original packages. Just duplicate the current profile and change the profile directory the packages directory and the compiler ccache directory (if set).

    One trick is to bring up /raven/etc/ravenadm/ravenadm.ini in a text editor, copy the profile block and make the adjustments in the editor. Don't forget to activate the new profile, either with "ravenadm configure" or expertly by altering "profile_selected=" line.

  13. Create a new ccache directory

    This should match the new profile. You may want to copy "ccache.conf" file from the previous profile's ccache directory.

  14. Rebuild the toolchain with SKIPCCRUN set

    ravenadm force ravensys-binutils
ravenadm force ravensys-gcc
ravenadm force ravensys-toolchain

Second generation

  1. Remove toolchain

    ravensw remove "ravensys-toolchain-*"  (answer yes)

  2. Install newly-built toolchain

    ravensw add /var/ravenports/nextgen/packages/All/ravensys-toolchain-single-standard-5.0.tzst  (example)

  3. Rename the packages directory of the new profile

    mv /var/ravenports/nextgen/packages /var/ravenports/nextgen/packages.1g  (example)

  4. Recreate the packaged directory

    mkdir /var/ravenports/nextgen/packages  (example)

  5. Remove SKIPCCRUN from environment

    From the non-root user:

    vi ~/.profile

    Comment out the export SKIPCCRUN file and save.

  6. Log out and back in again

    Log out, then back in as non-root user, then "su" to become root again. Run "env" to verify SKIPCCRUN is no longer set in environment.

  7. Rebuild toolchain

    ravenadm force ravensys-binutils
ravenadm force ravensys-gcc
ravenadm force ravensys-toolchain

Third generation

  1. Remove toolchain 
    ravensw remove "ravensys-toolchain-*"  (answer yes)
  2. Install newly-built toolchain 
    ravensw add /var/ravenports/nextgen/packages/All/ravensys-toolchain-single-standard-5.0.tzst  (example)
  3. Rename the packages directory of the new profile 
    mv /var/ravenports/nextgen/packages /var/ravenports/nextgen/packages.2g  (example)
  4. Recreate the packaged directory 
    mkdir /var/ravenports/nextgen/packages  (example)
  5. Remove modifications to ravensys-gcc 
    eval `ravenadm dev jump ravensys-gcc`
git checkout .
ravenadm dev buildsheet . save
  6. Rebuild toolchain 
    ravenadm force ravensys-binutils
ravenadm force ravensys-gcc
ravenadm force ravensys-toolchain
  7. Build ravensys-root 
    ravenadm build ravensys-root:<variant>

Final generation

  1. Remove toolchain 
    ravensw remove "ravensys-toolchain-*"  (answer yes)
  2. Install newly-built toolchain 
    ravensw add /var/ravenports/nextgen/packages/All/ravensys-toolchain-5.0.tzst  (example)
  3. Remove system root 
    ravenadm remove "ravensys-root-*"  (answer yes)
  4. Install newly-built system root 
    ravensw add /var/ravenports/nextgen/packages/All/ravensys-root-single-netbsd_amd64-3.4.tzst  (example)
  5. Rename the packages directory of the new profile 
    mv /var/ravenports/nextgen/packages /var/ravenports/nextgen/packages.3g  (example)
  6. Recreate the packaged directory 
    mkdir /var/ravenports/nextgen/packages  (example)
  7. Build everything
