From 090fc5a6961140ff351e962a85803a6218b72012 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lionel Sambuc Date: Wed, 29 Apr 2015 10:27:52 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Add Description about the branch Describe the naming convention of the patches, and what does this repository. --- README | 37 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 37 insertions(+) diff --git a/README b/README index 881848b74..950b85946 100644 --- a/README +++ b/README @@ -1,3 +1,40 @@ +This is a work in progress to upgrade MINIX PKGSRC to the latest +quarterly available (2015QX). + +I have rebased, squashed and edited commit message in order to facilitate +the next update, and have a clear focus from the commit message what we +need and why, at minimum. + +Step 0: Those are changes which update the PKGSRC definition of the MINIX + plateform. Those are required to even be able to start. + +Step 1: those are the required package to bootstrap PKGSRC, and start pbulk + builds. + +Step 2: - base tools: the actual tools we need for development on a regular + MINIX system. + - base dep: Dependencies which are pulled in by the base tools. + This may change between each update, depending on the + versions of the tools. + +Any package without a "Step X:" prefix is icing on the cake, and helps improve +the number of available packages on MINIX. They should not be considered as +blocking requirements for a new release. + +Known Bugs +---------- + - When using bmake to compile a package by hand, sometimes the following + variables need to be exported explicitly in the environment: + export STRIP=strip + export CC=clang + export CXX=clang++ + + - Some package might fail because of coredumps or even during execution. + In some cases, this is due to the use of both mthread and GNU Pth. + mthread might be pulled in as a dependency of libc++, and a few X11 libraries. + +---------- + $NetBSD: README,v 1.18 2005/05/07 22:18:28 wiz Exp $ Please see doc/pkgsrc.txt for information.
