The risk for this is zero, hence the for-4.10 tag.

Wouldn't running this in one of the top-level sub-trees also be useful?
E.g. why would one want a hypervisor only series not touching the
public interface to have the tools tree rebuilt all the time?

Perhaps

    echo "Usage: $0 <BASE> <TIP> [<CMD>|<SCRIPT>]"

? Also I'm not clear why you make the distinction between command
and script.

What is this startup delay intended for?

Is this quoting on $CMD really going to work right no matter what
the variable actually expands to? I.e. don't you either want to use
"eval" or adjust script arguments such that you can use "$@" with
its special quoting rules?

You can do that by supplying your custom command.

The script really aims to be an easy to use thing to point contributors
to hence the checks, warning and restrictions, while at the same time
allows some flexibility.

For example, if you want to build hypervisor only:

$ ./scripts/build-test.sh $BASE $TIP "make -C xen clean && make -C xen"

To give user a chance to check the command -- git-rebase can be
destructive after all.

What sort of use cases you have in mind that involve complex quoting and
expansion?

I can't resist this bikeshed.  This kind of thing is quite annoying.
If your command might be destructive, why not fix it so that it's not
destructive.

In particular, if you:
 * check that the tree is not dirty
 * detach HEAD
 * reattach HEAD afterwards at least on success
then the risk of lossage is low and you can safely just go ahead.

Ian.

I think these two checks are good.

>  * reattach HEAD afterwards at least on success

This is already the case for git-rebase on success.

No.  git-rebase _rewrites_ HEAD.

Your script should just check out the intermediate commits.  You
probably don't in fact want git-rebase.  In particular, you don't want
to risk merge conflicts.

I have a script I use for dgit testing that looks like this:

  #!/bin/bash
  #
  # run  git fetch main
  # and then this

  set -e
  set -o pipefail

  revspec=main/${STTM_TESTED-tested}..main/pretest

  echo "testing $revspec ..."

  git-rev-list $revspec | nl -ba | tac | \
  while read num rev; do
          echo >&2 ""
          echo >&2 "testing $num $rev"
          git checkout $rev
          ${0%/*}/sometest-to-tested
  done

FAOD,

A typical cross build command line of mine looks like

make -sC build/xen/$v {XEN_TARGET_ARCH,t}=x86_64 CC=gccx LD=ldx OBJCOPY=objcopyx NM=nmx -j32 xen

which you can see leverages the fact that make allows variable
settings on the command line. For other utilities this would require
e.g. "CC=gccx my-script", and I'm not sure whether quoting you
apply would work right (largely depends on what git does with the
argument).

Yes.  Jan is completely right.

> expansion?

There is really no excuse at all, in a script like this, for not using
`shift' to eat the main positional parameters, and then executing
"$@", faithfully reproducing the incoming parameters.

Of course there is a problem with getting this through git-rebase but
as I have just pointed out, git-rev-list and git-checkout are much
more suitable building blocks than git-rebase (which does a lot of
undesirable stuff that has to be suppressed, etc.)

Can you document somewhere that there are no cross-compilation supported?

Instead of the count down, I would do:
echo -n 'Continue ? (^C to quit) '
read


OR something like:
echo -n 'Continue ? [Yn] '
read answer
[[ "$answer" =~ ^(|Y|y|yes)$ ]] || exit


I don't like to wait.

And I don't like the presure to have to decide if I want to ^C within a
limited time. I would probably kill the script if I did not know what
it was going to do as soon as I see the count down.

I'm not necessarily arguing against this, but in my estimation this
isn't zero risk.  It's a new feature (even if one only for developers).
It's not *intended* to destroy anything, but a bug in it well could
destroy data.

There is a `git clean -dxf` in the script, this is destructif! I'm sure
it's going to take some people by surprise.

FIY, I do like to put script and other files in my checkouts, the git
clean will remove them.
