2022-01-22Update release makeing script with new release numbersNick Clifton1-16/+19
2022-01-02Update year range in copyright notice of binutils filesAlan Modra1-1/+1
The result of running etc/update-copyright.py --this-year, fixing all the files whose mode is changed by the script, plus a build with --enable-maintainer-mode --enable-cgen-maint=yes, then checking out */po/*.pot which we don't update frequently. The copy of cgen was with commit d1dd5fcc38ead reverted as that commit breaks building of bfp opcodes files.

2020-10-28Use sha256 for hashes in the release processAndreas Rammhold1-2/+2
I just came across the GDB 10.1 release notes and saw that md5 is still being used in those. I thought it would be a good idea to instead have a more modern, secure and wildly available hash function such as SHA256 as part of the release process. The changes have been done rather mechnically via sed but executing the `src-release.sh -b gdb` did work so I am confident about the result. While this does not directly address the release mails, I was wasn't able to find the template/script used for those, this is probably still an improvement. ChangeLog: * src-release.sh: Use sha256sum instead of md5sum. binutils/ChangeLog: * README-how-to-make-a-release: Use sha256sum instead of md5sum. Change-Id: I9cf19ea40699137c45463b8514f6e29271af2347
