Dear All, I've created the LLVM release branch (CVS tag release_16). Those developers wanting to commit changes to LLVM without having your changes go into LLVM 1.6 can now commit to CVS mainline to your heart's content. :) TESTING: -------- 1. I'm still looking for volunteers to test MacOS X and Solaris. If you'd like to volunteer, please email the list to let us know. 2. If you maintain a platform other than those listed above, you will want to test the release branch for regressions. A regression is anything that worked on your platform in LLVM 1.5 that doesn't work in the release branch. If you find a regression, please email the llvmdev list about it. While we can make changes in the release branch, we need to be careful about it. GETTING THE RELEASE BRANCH: --------------------------- Getting a copy of the release branch is easy. Just checkout out a copy of LLVM like you normally do; the only difference is that you will specify a CVS tag with the -r command. For example, cvs -d :pserver:anon at llvm-cvs.cs.uiuc.edu:/var/cvs/llvm login cvs -d :pserver:anon at llvm-cvs.cs.uiuc.edu:/var/cvs/llvm co -r release_16 llvm cvs -d :pserver:anon at llvm-cvs.cs.uiuc.edu:/var/cvs/llvm co -r release_16 llvm-gcc Alternatively, if you already have an LLVM source tree, you can use the following to update it to the release_16 tag: cvs up -r release_16 Once you have a release_16 tree, any commits in that tree will go *in to the branch.* So be careful with commits. :) Thanks for everyone's help; we're getting close. -- John T. -- John T.

I'm not going to look into any regressions though since no one has been really watching Sparc since I graduated and I am sure there are regressions.> 2.

So we should look at May 14th nightly tester results as a baseline? I'd prefer not to download the 1.5, compile, and run all tests with that. We should keep around testing results for each platform for each release in the future. That would make this sorta thing easier. -Tanya

That's what I've done for previous releases.> > I'd prefer not to download the 1.5, compile, and run all tests with that. > > We should keep around testing results for each platform for each > release in the future. That would make this sorta thing easier.An XFAIL feature for the llvm-test module would be even better, but none of us have been interested enough to add it yet. Maybe someday.> > -Tanya > > _______________________________________________ > LLVM Developers mailing list > LLVMdev at cs.uiuc.edu http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu > http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/llvmdev-- John T.
