update
Description:
Several files have been renamed or moved to a different location.
README => README.txt
RELEASE.txt => release_docs/RELEASE.txt
HISTORY.txt => release_docs/HISTORY.txt
Updated h5vers and release to reflect all these new names/locations.
Also made all uses the same beginning phases for the first line
of text in README.txt and RELEASE.txt as follows:
"HDF5 version ... "
Platforms tested:
eirene by running the bin/release and bin/h5vers -i.
Cosmetic adjustment
Description:
Changed Version information from just "HDF5 version ..."
to "HDF5 library version" since this is really about a
library implementation.
Platforms tested:
eirene (used "h5vers -s ..." to see the effect.)
new feature
Description:
Added feature to update RELEASE.txt with release information just
like what happens to README. Make a copy of RELEASE.txt to accompany
the tarball file(s).
Also moved the umask command up to cover all files created on the fly.
Platforms tested:
Worked for 1.5, got to work the same.
Sync
Description:
Putting the fix for the Modi4 compiler in the hdf5 1.4 branch since
it seems to be affecting the 1.4 branch as well.
Platforms tested:
Modi4
Improvement
Description:
The DIFF used to keep running after detecting significant code changes.
This was done in order to see all changes but no one seems to look
at the diff any more. So, let it end the DIFF cycle once it determines
there are enough differences for a new test.
Added "install install-doc uninstall uninstall-doc" to the test
cycle.
Platforms tested:
v1.5 works. This should work. Hard to test this without launching
the daily test. Will let daily test shakes it down.
adjustment
Description:
When gondolin failed the 1.5 test, it moved ahead for the 1.4 test.
The 1.5 test usually takes 1 hour to complete but runtest only waited
30 minutes for the 1.4 cvs update to complete. So, gondolin ended
up failing the 1.4 test too.
Solution:
Changed the wait time to 90 minutes.
Added echo statements showing it is waiting for some event. This
would help the human knowing it is waiting for something.
Added more comments about the algorithm of the waiting.
Platforms tested:
Gotta be right. :-)
new feature
Description:
Added a new option -nocvs for no cvs commands.
Added a locking mechanism to show CVS checkout in progress
and other hosts should wait till it is done.
Platforms tested:
gondolin
Code improvement
Description:
Changed it so that $H5VERSION determines which version of hdf5
code to do cvs checkout and to test, making it easier to handle
new versions.
Platforms tested:
run simple test to make sure it did generate the right command.
Bug fix
Description:
Updated its default H5DIR value to the correct version branch
it is in now.
Platforms tested:
Will be tested by the daily test cron job.
Upgrade
Description:
Folded changes done in v1.5 into this branch.
Changed the default version to -r1.4 for snapshot.
Platforms tested:
Eirene & all other test hosts.
Bug fix (feature)
Description:
It did not recognize the op-configure keyword as a possible
type of test.
Solution:
Added the feature to handle op-configure.
Platforms tested:
Linux, freebsd.
Bug fix, feature, cleaning code
Description:
It could not find bin/locate_hdf5.
Solution:
Explicitedly use the bin/locate_hdf5 in the snapshots/current area.
Also, added Usage page to be printed when -h(elp) is asked or when
there is error in command option.
Cleaned some old code no longer used.
Platforms tested:
eirene
Automatically update the HISTORY.txt and RELEASE.txt to in doc/html/ADGuide
by copying the same files at the top level to them. This keeps the two
files updated right before release.
Platforms tested:
eirene.
new feature
Description:
It now reads a configuration file ($HOME/snapshots-hdf5/snaptest.cfg)
to set up the configure options of the tests, and what type of tests
to run for each host.
Platforms tested:
Eirene launched a full blown test on all machines involved in the
daily test.
Simple twist
Description:
snapshot used to just use whatever `hostname` returns. Often it
is the fully qualified name but sometimes just hostname without the
domain part. Inconsistent.
Solution:
Chopped off any domain part and use just the host name.
Use the 'cut' command rather than the sed with ncsa.uiuc.edu hardcoded.
Applied that to runtest too.
Platforms tested:
Should work. Will find out if the daily tests still work.
New Feature
Description:
It supports a configure file (snapshots.../snaptest.cfg).
Currently, it recognize comment lines (started with #)
and the standard configuration.
Platforms tested:
Eirene (Linux)
feature
Description:
Use the external locate_hdf4 instead of the internal function to
find the HDF4 software. Also set PATH to include the HDF4 bin
if found. That would help gurantee access to the 'hdp' tool.
(Need to do an explicite "export PATH" since DEC OSF1 sh does not
seem to export the changed value by default.)
Platforms tested:
Gondolin (DEC OSF1)
feature
Description:
revised it so that it can really run the snapshot tests.
It now first update the source in the snapshot area and then uses
the scripts in snapshot/current/bin.
Platforms tested:
modi4, arabica
New feture
Description:
# Try to locate the HDF (nicknamed hdf4) software
# This is a hack because there is no consistent place to find
# the valid HDF library.
# Usage: locate_hdf5
# It prints two strings in which the first one represents a valid
# value for the --with-hdf=... switch and the second one is where
# one can find the hdp command. It can be added to the $PATH.
Platforms tested:
Pecos (solaris 5.7)
New feature
Description:
This runs the hdf5 library testing via the snapshot script. Without
any argument, it runs the test for the current host. If -all is used,
it runs the tests on a predefined list of hosts.
Platforms tested:
This does not quite work yet as there are a few hardcoded pathnames
to find the script on remote machines. Committing it now to hold
the place so that others can see how it works.
Improvement
Description:
The -i option used to increment the first number it finds in the
SUBRELEASE string. So, beta1-post0 becomes beta2-post0.
Solution:
Changed to increment the last number it finds. So,
beta1-post0 becomes beta1-post1.
Platforms tested:
eirene and modi4.
Major Hack (tm)
NOTE! When upgrading ltconfig in the future, this may have to be
re-fixed!!!
Description:
Pacific Blue didn't like the ``-b nolibpath -b libpath:...''
flags libtool was handing it. It looks as if those flags would
make mpicc forget where some of the libraries it needed were.
Solution:
Test the hostname to determine if we're at pacific.llnl.gov. If
so, then we don't want those flags.
Platforms tested:
Pacific Blue...
The last commited version of config.guess and config.sub does not
have the local changes we made over the time. Thus configure failed
in non-standard machine like the ASCI Red.
Solution:
Replaced them with the last version before the last committed version.
Platforms tested:
ASCI Red
Keeping up with the Jones's
Description:
Updated to latest version of the config.guess and config.sub scripts from
the GNU ftp site, even though the copies in this branch of the library
are OK with the new compiler on the Linux box.
Platforms tested:
Linux (eirene) & FreeBSD 4.1.1 (hawkwind)
Fix Irix pmake bugs
Description:
Build fails on Irix when builddir != srcdir
Solution:
* acconfig.h
* src/H5config.h.in [REGENERATED]
Added definition for HAVE_STREAM
* config/conclude.in
* config/depend1.in
* config/depend2.in
* config/depend3.in
* config/depend4.in
The `Dependencies' file is located in the source
tree. This fixes bugs for Irix pmake when compiling
outside the source tree. Hopefully it still preserves
Albert's changes which allow concurrent compilations
to not stomp on each other's Dependencies files.
* examples/Dependencies [REGENERATED]
* src/Dependencies [REGENERATED]
* test/Dependencies [REGENERATED]
* tools/Dependencies [REGENERATED]
Regenerated for testing purposes.
Platforms:
i686-pc-linux
mips-sgi-irix6.5
sparc-sun-solaris2.6
Added the H5FD_stream_fapl_t type to the TypeString mapping table.
Description:
This servers for proper substitution of the H5TRACE macros in the
Stream VFD sources.
Platforms:
All platforms.
applied for various platforms which weren't supported by libtools are now
standard for libtools it seems. There were only a few of the previous
fixes I rolled forward (the diffs follow):
config.sub:
750a760,763
> tflop*)
> basic_machine=i386-intel
> os=-osf1
> ;;
ltmain.sh:
2911c2911
< $shlibpath_var=\"$temp_rpath\$$shlibpath_var\"
---
> $shlibpath_var=\"$finalize_shlibpath$temp_rpath\$$shlibpath_var\"
option. A system may have several versions of diff (e.g., vendor's
and Gnu's). Added codes to try them all until finding one that supports
it. If found, use it; else stick with plain "diff" and may waste time
when there are no differences besides the ignorable patterns.
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.7, Redhat 6.2
a complete file name. This distinguish file ./config/unicos from
./config/unicosmk.
Tossed in a cleanup feature by removing the temporary file when finished.
Version numbers include an annotation string consisting of a
sequence of letters and digits and is printed by this
script as either:
1.2.3-pre4
version 1.2 release 3 (pre4)
Other tools should print version numbers similarly.
A `-i annot' switch was added to increment the
annotation (the first subsequence of digits is what is
incremented, e.g., `pre9' becomes `pre10').
The `-i' switch (with no argument) was changed to
increment the annotation string if present, or the
release number otherwise.
(By the way, it actually took about 30 minutes ;-)
so that it is the same as the released version and allows easy
appendix of version number. For the development branch, $H5VERSION
is just "hdf5", representing the current version of the main=truck.
srcdirname <dir>:
Use <dir> as the srcdir testing directory if srcdir is choosen.
If <dir> starts with '-', it is append to the default name
E.g., "snapshot srcdir srcdirname -xx" uses hostname-xx
[Default is hostname]
op-configure <option>:
Pass <option> to the configure command
Configuration improvement
Problem:
Arabica has a zlib library that is a dynamic lib in /usr/ncsa/lib.
Binary generated would fail to run with a missig libz.so complain
if /usr/ncsa/lib is not in $LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This exposed the
problem that if the binary is linked with -L$mylibpath -lxyz
where libxyz is a dynamic type, the binary can't run if $mylibpath
is not in $LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or equivalent) or as part of the
system default library paths (e.g., /usr/lib, /usr/local/lib).
This problem also caused failures during configure (when trying
to see what format to print long long) and during H5detect.
The base cause is because libtool does not "transfer" the
knowledge of -L$mylibpath to the wrapper file its mode=link
generates.
Solution:
bin/ltmain.sh:
Changed it so that it transfers the libpaths from -Llibpaths
to the wrapper generated. I used the already defined variable
finalize_shlibpath. Not sure it is correct to use it this way.
Need to check on this.
configure.in:
Put in a patch to transfer information from LDFLAGS to LD_LIBRARY_PATH
right before the AC_TRY_RUN. The above fix for ltmain.sh does not
work here because libtool is generated later than this point.
There should be a cleaner way to do this.
Removed the hardcode of NCSA_LT_LINK_EXE because it is no longer
needed.
commence.in:
Removed the hardcode of NCSA_LT_LINK_EXE because it is no longer
needed.
Makefile.in:
Another patch of LDFLAGS to LD_LIBRARY_PATH because I could not
make it to generate H5detect in the wrapper form of libtool.
Need to make it to use the libtool correctly. Later.
Platform tested:
arabica (solaris 2.7)
baldric (solaris 2.6)
hosts. Below is the help output for srcdir.
srcdir: Use srcdir option (does not imply other commands)"
"snapshot srcdir" is equivalent to "snapshot srcdir all"
"snapshot srcdir checkout" is equivalent to "snapshot checkout"
Also used shell variables to hold directory paths for easier maintenance.
