What is the process used for testing a build during Official Testing?

Hi Everyone,

I'm having trouble developing a procedure to build LLVM from the
release tarballs. The page
https://llvm.org/docs/HowToReleaseLLVM.html#official-testing discusses
the release process but does not provided detailed steps to test the
release candidate tarballs.

Where can I find the procedure used to build the release tarballs?

Thanks in advance,

Jeff

See https://llvm.org/docs/ReleaseProcess.html

Basically, run:

  $LLVM_DIR/utils/release/test-release.sh -release x.y.z

Note that this does not directly test tarballs, but checks out the
selected tags from Subversion.

However, there is a -no-checkout option to skip the checkouts, so
presumably you can substitute your own extracted directory. I have
never done that, so it may or may not work. :slight_smile:
