| Description: |
| This directory contains i386 and amd64 binaries of the binutils tools |
| (including gold linker). |
| |
| They were built from binutils-2.29.1 using the "build-all.sh" script on Debian |
| Testing. |
| |
| The script creates chroots for 32bit and 64bit Ubuntu Xenial and then builds |
| binutils inside the roots. |
| |
| Local patches: |
| |
| * (build-all.sh|build-one.sh|upload.sh) scripts for building the binutils |
| binaries and uploading them to Google storage. |
| |
| Upgrading: |
| |
| To upgrade binutils, use the following steps: |
| |
| * Update build-all.sh with the new binutil version. |
| * Remove any patches which have been merged upstream from build-all.sh |
| * Update this README.chromium file |
| * Run build-all.sh |
| * Run upload.sh. Note: you will need write access to |
| gs://chromium-binutils bucket on Google Cloud Storage. To get the |
| access, subscribe to the internal chrome-team mailing list. |
