archlinux-s390x/scripts/bootstrap-pacman.sh
Mathieu Benoit 1a0e19a368 [ADD] stage 1: build a self-hosting core for s390x
Forty-odd packages in link-time order, from linux-api-headers to
pacman itself. The order follows what a compiler actually needs, not
pacman metadata: --nodeps means nothing is ever checked, so anything
required at link time has to exist already.

A failure does not stop the run. One missing package must not hide the
state of the forty that follow, so failures are collected and reported
at the end, each with its own log. A state file makes the run
resumable, which matters when a single gcc build is measured in tens
of minutes.

The header states why stage 1 is not the port: everything here links
against the host glibc, because Arch glibc needs an Arch gcc which
needs an Arch glibc. Stages 2 and 3 break that circle.

bootstrap-pacman.sh now guards its own main so it can be sourced for
build_package without re-running the whole bootstrap.

--- FR ---

Une quarantaine de paquets dans l ordre des dependances de lien, de
linux-api-headers a pacman lui-meme. L ordre suit ce dont un
compilateur a reellement besoin, pas les metadonnees de pacman :
--nodeps ne verifie jamais rien, donc tout ce qui sert au lien doit
deja exister.

Un echec n arrete pas la course. Un paquet manquant ne doit pas
masquer l etat des quarante suivants : les echecs sont collectes et
rapportes a la fin, chacun avec son journal. Un fichier d etat rend la
reprise possible, ce qui compte quand un seul gcc se compte en
dizaines de minutes.

L en-tete dit pourquoi l etage 1 n est pas le portage : tout s y lie a
la glibc de l hote, parce que la glibc d Arch reclame un gcc d Arch
qui reclame une glibc d Arch. Les etages 2 et 3 brisent ce cercle.

bootstrap-pacman.sh garde desormais son main pour etre sourcable et
fournir build_package sans relancer tout l amorcage.

# Bootstrap the Arch packaging toolchain (pacman, makepkg, repo-add) on an
# s390x host, then build official Arch PKGBUILDs for s390x.
#
# WHY THIS IS THE KEYSTONE
#
# The README lists "pacman, bash and GNU coreutils are not yet ported" as three
# missing pieces. They are not three tasks -- pacman is the only one that
# matters, because pacman's source tree also ships makepkg and repo-add. Once
# those three run, every remaining package stops being hand-work and becomes
# `makepkg` on the upstream PKGBUILD.
#
# NO CROSS-COMPILATION IS NEEDED HERE. This runs on native s390x hardware, so
# the whole userspace builds at full speed with the host toolchain. That drops
# the z/VM round-trip the other scripts need.
