http://elfutils.org/ is now hosted at http://sourceware.org/elfutils/
fedorahosted used to be our home, but we are now hosted at sourceware.
Change the elfutils project home to http://elfutils.org/
Point hosted services (email, release, git, bug tracker and web pages)
to https://sourceware.org/elfutils/
Move design notes from README to NOTES.
Add URLs for home, releases, bugs, git and mailinglist to README.
Make the --version output of all tools the same by using a common
print_version function and update the publicly shown copyright holder
to the elfutils developers.

While assuming this the code can be - greatly simplified and speed increases. Since no change violating this - assumption is in sight this is believed to be a worthwhile optimization. - -- the ABI of the backend modules is not guaranteed. Really, no guarantee - whatsoever. We are enforcing this in the code. The modules and their - users must match. No third-party EBL module are supported or allowed. - The only reason there are separate modules is to not have the code for - all architectures in all the binaries. - -- although the public libraries (libasm, libdw) have a stable API and are - backwards ABI compatible they, and the elfutils tools, do depend on each - others internals, and on internals of libelf to provide their interfaces. - So they should always be upgraded in lockstep when packaging the tools - and libraries separately. For one example of how to do that, see the - config/elfutils.spec. +The elfutils project provides libraries and tools for ELF files and DWARF data. + +The project home is http://elfutils.org/ + +Releases are published at ftp://sourceware.org/pub/elfutils/ +Which can also be found at https://sourceware.org/elfutils/ftp/ + +Please reports bugs at https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/ + +The current elfutils source code can be checked out with +git clone git://sourceware.org/git/elfutils.git + +The developer mailinglist to send patches to is +elfutils-devel@sourceware.org. +https://sourceware.org/ml/elfutils-devel/ + +To subscribe send an email to elfutils-devel-subscribe@sourceware.org +Or use the form at https://sourceware.org/lists.html#ml-requestor + +See the CONTRIBUTING file for how to propose patches to the code. + +See the NOTES files for some design decisions and notes. |
