git master not updating

git master not updating

[Kalev Lember]

Hello,

http://gitweb.openembedded.net/?p=org.openembedded.dev.git;a=summary
The master head of org.openembedded.dev is not updating. I already
spotted two bug reports (4584 and 4590) which reported issues that were
fixed in monotone 4 days ago, but never got into git master.

org.openembedded.dev branch is up to date. I'm using it.

Well yes, but if you just do:
git clone git://git.openembedded.net/org.openembedded.dev

you'll end up on master branch, which is not updating.

Yes it is indeed a problem however I'd like to let you know that one
branch was being update ... :-)

Yes, the same here, i opened one of those bugs.
I'm using a semiautomated makefile environment for fso/openmoko, this use
git and not monotone, so this problem affects a lot of peoples, please fix!

The problem is that if someone has a problem and shows up in #oe asking 
why there are not any updates. If they can't explain the actual command 
to do the updates, most of the people in #oe cannot help.

Please have people using makefiles ask for help in the project specific 
channels first.

If an user does not understand that git pull does not updates, and that git
log does report 26 september, how may he know that the git server is at
openenembedded? it would report problems to openmoko, or fso!
Peoples are asking here because they read git.openembedded.net in the
Makefile, someone know that you are migrating to git, so it's normal to
think that the git server at openembedded should work!
The *only* problem is that the git server is a test installation as you may
only derive from the wiki!
So you may be gentle with peoples and update the oe wiki saying that using
git is unsupported, so makefile authors may decide to not use it just now,
and use it later!

The actual git commands executed are printed in the shell where the
makefile is run.  And you can be sure that they haven't just made a typo
 in the git commands, cause it's part of a makefile.

As always, the first thing a user should include in a bug report is a
trace of the execution of the command that is failing.  That will
clearly show the git commands executed.

Yes?  And how does a wrapper of any sort, makefile or shell script,
affect that?  Are you saying the bitbake and OE have code to detect if
"make" is a parent process, and it behaves differently?  Or are you
saying that "make" is broken?  Or are their unknown bugs in bitbake or
OE recipes that seem to behave badly when bitbake is invoked by "make"?

Of course it's none of the above  -- it's that you despise the makefile
--  but a lot of other people might actually think you are making some
technically-sound point, and wrongly determine that OE and make are
incompatible in some way.

So why not just say that the wrong branch is being pulled instead of
making snide comments about the tools others use?

So is the answer that the "master" branch in git it not planned on being
used?  Or it will have some other use, documented over in ... ?  It
sounds like the problem is that the policy on what to use in the git
tree isn't published yet.  Or it is, and someone didn't read it.

The only supported way to use OE is via monotone, if you are using a 
makefile that's using something else you are SOL

I'm not using a Makefile.  I'd just like to know what part of git I
should be look at checking out and attempting to work in, as the
transition is apparently imminent.  I'm assuming that once the
transition is complete, there'll be documentation saying "If you want
the dev branch, do ...", "If you want the stable branch, do ...".  Does
this type of documentation not yet exist?  Is there still some debate as
to if the git master branch will be the dev branch, or if the naming
scheme of org.openembedded.{dev,stable}, etc will continue?  Thanks.

Re: git master not updating

[Rod Whitby]

For those people who are using the FSO Makefile, it has now been updated
 to match the new unofficial undocumented instructions on how to use the
trial OE git repo.

"make update-makefile" followed by "make setup-openembedded" will
automatically migrate your build environment to use the
org.openembedded.dev branch.

[Now let's see how quickly all the other places on the internet where
the old instructions live are updated, and how many more bug reports and
questions we get from people following them and not having a means to
automatically migrate to the new way of doing things.]

A typical response from Koen.  Sigh.  For once it would be good for him
to focus on the problem at hand (which was reported correctly with no
mention of makefiles) instead of trying to take childish potshots at
things he has a personal vendetta against.

A number of places on the internet (including
http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardAndOpenEmbeddedGit,
http://wiki.openembedded.net/index.php/Git,
http://wiki.neurostechnology.com/index.php/OpenEmbedded_OSD2,
http://linux.paduli.org/index.php?title=OpenEmbedded%2C_linux%2C_software_e_sviluppo_per_dispositivi_embedded!,
 just for some examples) advise users to type the following command to
clone the trial OE git repo, with no mention of needing a specific branch:

   git clone git://git.openembedded.net/org.openembedded.dev/

In fact, Koen himself advised users to use exactly that command (and no
mention of needing to check out a specific branch) in the #beagle IRC
channel on 14th June 2008 (see
http://www.beagleboard.org/irclogs/index.php?date=2008-06-14 at [12:43:48]).

That used to work, and now it doesn't, due to an unannounced change to
the operation of the trial OE git repo.

Note that I've been careful to say "trial OE git repo" everywhere, since
it's still a trial and there is no official OE documentation on whether
you should be pulling from the master branch or the org.openembedded.dev
branch (and as can be seen from the BeagleBoard page above, and Koen's
instructions to people on the #beagle IRC channel, the confusion exists
independently of whether a makefile is used or not).  So anyone using
the trial OE git repo does so at their own risk.

The beauty of a makefile is that *everyone* using it can be migrated to
the latest correct instructions for using the trial OE git repo
automatically.

Koen, are you going to go around and fix all the places on the internet
that have propagated the obsolete instructions on how to use the trial
OE git repo (including the IRC log where you yourself gave those
obsolete instructions)?

I'll be doing so today for all users of the Makefiles who are affected
by this change in how the trial OE git repo should be accessed.

I do believe that so many people relying in your service proves it is
very useful. I do hope you continue the service since many people
relies on it.

Holger,

I hope you didn't take any of my comments as complaints.  I was careful
to note that this is an unofficial service that no-one should be relying
upon, and that many people very much appreciate.

It is because of your service that people building
www.freesmartphone.org distro have never needed to worry about monotone.
 That in itself demands a huge gratitude.

Please don't discontinue it.   If you would prefer to hand over the
hosting or maintenance of the OE git server to someone else, I'm sure we
could find a group of people (myself included) who would be happy to help.

I would like to extend a big thank you, RP, and others for setting
this up and keeping this going.  Having the git mirror has made
supporting new OE users a _lot_ easier, and I am very dependent on it.
 It is my opinion that keeping this migration moving is fairly
important.  While monotone has served the active OE developers well,
it is fairly tedious explaining how it works to new users, and is
somewhat of a barrier to confidence in the project.

I'd like to thank everyone who has kept git conversion going too.

I've personally been using monotone, mostly because it was the only way
to access OE repository a few years ago and it's still needed to get my
patches into OE tree. However, I also think that git might make it
easier to get new people to the project.

And thanks for getting rid of the master branch, the git tree layout is
now much easier to understand.

Thanks,
Kalev

Hi Holger,

I know that your intention with this email wasn't receive an avalanche
of "Thank you".
However I must say Thank you!

The work that you've spent on that has made our lives easier. It was
so pain work with monotone.

I know that we from Mamona are not working properly with OE, but we
are waiting the complete git migration to work closer to OE and send
our fixes and improvements back upstream.

So I'd like to ask you: Please don't give up!

Is there any thing that I can do to help you?

Best Regards,
vivijim

If you don't want to get complaints, don't do anything. If you don't 
want to hear complaints about service you do for the community, don't do 
anything for community. There's no other way to avoid complaints.

Do what you find meaningful. And I have a feeling you do think this 
migration, including transition is the case.

I hope the transition period is getting to its end, though.

And yes, obligatory yet sincere: thank you! ;-)

Love,
H

That is on purpose. People complained on irc that CIAbot reports everything 
twice (master, org.openembedded.dev)... and there is no real reason to have a 
branch called master.

Hmm, and someone must have just fixed the repo so that a clone
automatically checks out the org.openembedded.dev branch, and there is
no master branch :-)

magic? ;)

master was just there for repo.or.cz... I removed it from the repo and made 
the default branch org.openembedded.dev, people in the wild should know what 
to do or execute git-checkout -b org.openembedded.dev 
origin/org.openembedded.dev
