FWIW our internal build script (which uses internal stuff, so I'm not sure it's of any help to you) does it like this: 1) Inside the changeroot, build an distinct identifier for the toolchain in use. We can use the MD5 sum over the changelogs of the gcc package, binutils and glibc for that: changes_md5sum=`LC_ALL=C chroot $BUILD_ROOT rpm -q --changelog $gcc_package_name binutils glibc | sed -e '/\*/d' -e '/^$/d' | md5sum | cut -d' ' -f1` 2) We have a directory containing all unpacked cross-icecream-*-backend rpms, named per the above md5 sum in subdirs per architecture: % ls -l /mounts/work2/CDs/icecream/envs/f2bf24c90aeb3ecddf955d977b3de95f/s390 total 31178 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 31497 2007-06-29 00:20 binutils.changes -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4599 2007-06-29 00:20 gcc.changes -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 80380 2007-06-29 00:20 glibc.changes -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5313444 2007-06-29 01:00 i386.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9217515 2007-06-29 01:40 ia64.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5807840 2007-06-29 07:00 ppc64.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5766936 2007-06-29 05:40 ppc.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5658685 2007-06-29 00:20 x86_64.tar.gz I.e. here we have five cross compilers to s390 (from i386,ia64,ppc,ppc64,x86_64), it's just a random example. So after building the above md5 sum in (1), we look for them in a directory: $BASE/icecream/envs/$MD5/$MY_ARCHITECTURE/*.tar.gz and copy them to the /var/cache/icecream dir in addition to the native environment. We further set ICECC_VERSION to hold the right value for whatever *.tar.gz we found (i.e. they are named according to the host architecture all the time). There's a periodic job which collects new cross-icecream-* packages and unpacks them into the above directories. I.e. it also involves some shell hackery ;-) Ciao, Michael. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
