Hi Michael,
I have finally managed to complete the release process. It wasn't quite
as smooth as I would have liked, but we seem the have got there!
Notes:
- Ramana's VCVT patch caused an Android problem. This was reverted right
before the release.
- The initial release spin and test went without a hitch.
- There was an additional test failure in the GCC testsuite, but this
turns out to be because the snapshot date "20121201" happens to contain
the string "120". Interestingly, this will also be true for most of 2012.
- The ubutest runs seem to have a some problems: all of the glibc and
python builds have failed with a message about libgcc. Since this has
hit both 4.5 and 4.6 simultaneously I'm assuming it's environmental and
not caused by a new toolchain bug. The rest of the compilation appears fine.
- The benchmarking seems fine on A9, but I couldn't find results for the
others, although the scheduler lists the jobs.
- The upload to Launchpad was somewhat problematic. Uploading 4.5 took
two attempts. Uploading 4.6 failed about 6 times (at 20 minutes or so
each) before I tried from another machine with a faster uplink - that
went first time.
