How to test a different version of zig
|
||
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Assume you want to test an unreleased version of zig. Here's how:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- build zig in `build/` directory, following the official instructions.
|
||
|
|
- pack it to something that looks like a release using this script:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
#!/bin/bash
|
||
|
|
set -xeuo pipefail
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
archversion="zig-linux-x86_64-$(git describe)"
|
||
|
|
dst="$HOME/rel/$archversion/"
|
||
|
|
rm -fr "$dst"
|
||
|
|
mkdir -p "$dst"/docs
|
||
|
|
cp zig "$dst"
|
||
|
|
cp -r ../lib "$dst"
|
||
|
|
tar -C "$HOME/rel" -cJf "$HOME/$archversion.tar.xz" .
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- send it to jakstys.lt or your mirror.
|
||
|
|
- point toolchain/defs.bzl to the new version.
|
||
|
|
- run tests (probably locally, where zig was built).
|
||
|
|
- running this on sr.ht is left as an exercise for further tests.
