[parisc-linux] cvs directory renaming - *action required*

[parisc-linux] cvs directory renaming - *action required*

[Michael Ang]

In order to reduce some of the confusion about which directory was
active in the repository (did I want "binutils", "binutils-old", or
"binutils-2.10"?) some of the directories in the repository will be
renamed.  This will be moderately painful, but it's better to do the
painful thing now while we can still stamp out the old cruft.

"linux-2.3" will be renamed to "linux"
"binutils-2.10" will be renamed to "binutils"

If you currently have a tree checked out, you will need to change all of
your CVS/Repository files to point to the new directory names.  With
bash you can do it like this:
$ cd linux-2.3
$ for i in `find . -name Repository`; do echo "linux" > $i; done
$ cd binutils-2.10
$ for i in `find . -name Repository`; do echo "binutils" > $i; done

You can do this now, since there is a symlink set up to support both
names.  The alias for the old name will be removed Wednesday.  If you do
not hack your tree by then you won't be able to play (update, checkout,
etc) until you have the right repository entries.

Can someone please update the recipe and cvs info on
www.thepuffingroup.com/parisc?  Until the docs are updated, you can
mentally substitute "linux" for "linux-2.3" and "binutils" for
"binutils-2.10".

These should be the last directory games we play in the repository. 
After this, new vendor versions should be checked into the existing
directories (on a branch).  This will reduce the confusion from using
directory names for version control.

	- Mike.

P.S. If out of archeological interest you're looking for the old {linux,
binutils, binutils-old, egcs-old} directory, it's been moved under
directory "obsolete". e.g. "cvs co obsolete/binutils-old".

Errm, will this work?  My linux-2.3/CVS/Repository file looks like this:
/home/cvs/parisc/linux-2.3
and linux-2.3/CVS/arch/Repository has
/home/cvs/parisc/linux-2.3/arch

I wasn't game to try the above, and instead used

cd linux-2.3
for z in `find . -name Repository`
do
  sed -e 's/-2.3//' $z > zzz && mv zzz $z
done

with a simliar trick for binutils.

No, what I gave will not work and is in fact *horribly wrong*.  I would
recommend that people use Alan's script fragment instead ;)

This file "binutils-2.10/gas/testsuite/gas/cris/CVS/Repository" doesn't
contain a full repository path - all the others are /home/cvs/... but
this one contains just the relative path.  Not sure what this means, if
anything...  Some of the Repository files in the linux-2.3 module have
the same sort of thing.  *shrug*  Anyone know?  =)

$ for i in $(find linux-2.3 binutils-2.10 -name Repository); do echo $(cat $i|sed 's/-[0-9.]*//') > $i; done

Why do this?  Why not just tag those two modules on Wednesday when you
make the change to the repository structure?

Is anyone having trouble doing updates after the rename?

Not having any troubles with the binutils module but bombing out on
linux ...

cvs server: Updating linux/arch/alpha/math-emu
cvs [server aborted]: cannot open directory /home/cvs/parisc/linux/arch/alpha/mathemu: No such file or directory

This is also incorrect since you'll replace any dashes that appear.  You
want this:
cd binutils-2.10
for z in `find . -name Repository`
do
  sed -e 's/-2.10//' $z > zzz && mv zzz $z
done

Because "linux-2.3" is being renamed to "linux", so the old "linux" had
to go.  The stuff being moved is very old, and is being moved out of the
way to reduce the amount of cruft in the top level of the repository. 
This should be the last time we have to do this.  After the rename, no
new directories should be created unless absolutely necessary: branches
should be used instead.

Re: [parisc-linux] cvs directory renaming - *action required*

[Michael Ang]

This is because of a problem in your sed pattern.  Notice the mismatch
between "math-emu" and "mathemu".  You can hand edit your CVS/Repository
to be correct (add the dash back).

Playing directory games in the repository is always a bad scene.  But
there was a desire to get rid of the junk in the repository, and better
to pay the price now than have the old directories become entrenched. :/

Yep, my bad: thanks for sorting me out Mike.  =)

cvs co website, then make your changes and commit them back.  Next time
someone with the password updates the website, your changes will
appear too.

(typing make will create the .html files from the .x files so you
can check your changes.  Since mid-July, you haven't needed anything
special installed; date, cat, echo, make, mkdir... no silly binary-only
software :-)

I have some ideas for how to improve the website, but I'm going to
wait and see what the Linuxcare web team come up with before I make
any structural changes.

The nightly CVS snapshots still have linux-2.3...

Re: [parisc-linux] cvs directory renaming - *action required*

[Michael Ang]

The cvs tarballs on the ftp site are owned by user "adevries".  From
this I guess that Alex has a cron job that packages the tarballs.

Alex, can you please update your scripts?

Now that Matt's buildtools are in CVS, this script should probably also
be in CVS, and it should be run by user `al-76'.  (the significance of
this name may be noted by some of you :-)

Good idea. I'll move it over once we're moved over to the new system.
