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.
