Add REPO_SKIP_SELF_UPDATE check in sync

2024-10-28T17:46:25+00:00

The command _PostRepoFetch will try to self update during repo sync. That is beneficial but adds version uncertainty, fail potential and slow downs in non-interactive scenarios. Conditionally skip the update if env variable REPO_SKIP_SELF_UPDATE is defined. A call to selfupdate works as before, meaning even with the variable set, it will run the update.

manifest: add optional base check on remove and extend

2024-10-28T16:55:10+00:00

This adds an optional, built-in checker for guarding against patches hanging on wrong base revisions, which is useful if a lower layer of the manifest changes after a patch was done. When adding a patch with a new revision using extend-project or remove-project/project: C---D---E patches in project bla / A---B project bla in manifest state 1 If project bla gets updated, in a new snap ID or by a supplier or similar, to a new state: C---D---E patches in project bla / A---B---F---G project bla in manifest state 2 Parsing will fail because revision of bla is now G, giving the choice to create a new patch branch from G and updating base-rev, or keeping previous branch for some reason and only updating base-rev. Intended for use in a layered manifest with hashed revisions. Named refs like branches and tags also work fine when comparing, but will be misleading if a branch is used as base-rev.

git: raise soft version to 2.7.4

2024-03-20T21:11:26+00:00

git-1.9.1 was released in 2014 while git-2.7.4 was released in 2016. Debian Stretch was released in 2017 and Ubuntu Xenial was released in 2016 which are plenty old at this point. Both of those include at least git-2.7.4. We will start warning users of Debian Jessie (released in 2015 & EOL in 2020) and Ubuntu Trusty (released in 2014 & EOL Apr 2024) that they will need to upgrade.

python-support: update with current status & guidelines

2023-10-14T06:22:53+00:00

This doc was written back in 2019 when we were planning on the Python 3 migration. It isn't relevant anymore, and people are reading it thinking we still support Python 2. Rewrite it to match current requirements and to make it clear there is no support for older versions.

manifest: enable remove-project using path

2023-06-21T14:50:16+00:00

A something.xml that gets included by two different files, that both remove and add same shared project to two different locations, would not work prior to this change. Reason is that remove killed all name keys, even though reuse of same repo in different locations is allowed. Solve by adding optional attrib path to and tweak remove-project. Behaves as before without path, and deletes more selectively when remove path is supplied. As secondary feature, a project can now also be removed by only using path, assuming a matching project name can be found.

manifest: add support for revision in include

2023-05-05T03:40:28+00:00

Attribute groups can now be added to manifest include, thus all projects in an included manifest file can easily modify default branch without modifying all projects in that manifest file. For example, the main manifest.xml has an include node contain revision attribute, ``` ``` and the include.xml has some projects, ``` ``` With this change, the final manifest will have revision="r1" for project2. ``` ``` Test: added unit tests to cover the inheritance Change-Id: I4b8547a7198610ec3a3c6aeb2136e0c0f3557df0 Reviewed-on: https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/c/git-repo/+/369714 Reviewed-by: Mike Frysinger Commit-Queue: Shuchuan Zeng Tested-by: Shuchuan Zeng
