Do not, under any circumstances, attempt to upgrade +the files in this directory via patches and a cvs commit. + +To upgrade to a newer version of libgmp, when it is available: + 1. Unpack the new version into an empty directory. + [Do not make ANY changes to the files, except remove the + files/directories for architectures not supported by FreeBSD + in the mpn/ dir] + + 2. Use the command: + cvs import -m 'Virgin import of FSF libgmp v<versiOn>' \ + src/contrib/libgmp FSF v<version> + + 3. Follow the instructions printed out in step 2 to resolve any + conflicts between local FreeBSD changes and the newer version. + +Do not, under any circumstances, deviate from this procedure. + +To make local changes to libgmp, simply patch and commit to the main +branch (aka HEAD). Never make local changes on the FSF branch. + +All local changes should be submitted to "bug-gmp@prep.ai.mit.edu" for +inclusion in the next vendor release of libgmp. + +markm@freebsd.org - 20 Oct 1996 |
