Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Sender: owner-linuxppc-dev@lists.linuxppc.org List-Id: What's the best way to retrieve linuxppc_2_4_devel as of 2.4.19? Browsing through http://ppc.bkbits.net:8080/linuxppc_2_4_devel I see that the right changeset appears to be 1.1091.1.23 (Lord only knows what those numbers mean): > ChangeSet@1.1091.1.23, 2002-08-03 16:26:58+10:00, paulus@samba.org > Merge samba.org:/home/paulus/kernel/linuxppc_2_4 > into samba.org:/home/paulus/kernel/linuxppc_2_4_devel The magic recipe we receved from the gods to retrieve that version is ver=1.1091.1.23 bk clone -r$ver bk://ppc.bkserver.net/linuxppc_2_4_devel linuxppc_2_4_devel-$ver cd linuxppc_2_4_devel-$ver find . -type d -exec bk get {} \; find . -name SCCS -print | xargs rm -rf rm -rf RESYNC/ rm -rf PENDING/ rm -rf BitKeeper/ rm -f ChangeSet That seems to work. However, I'm a bit concerned for several reasons: 0. it looks pretty hacky 1. there's no label on the changeset in question 2. Tom Rini said: "... keep in mind that revision numbers are not constant, only TAGs, and keys. Poking in the BK help should tell you how to go from a rev to a key, and then back." So I'm afraid that magic 1.1091.1.23 is going to get renumbered sometime, and I'll have no way to retrieve a 2.4.19 that works on ppc405. Poking around on bitkeeper.com's online doc revealed no discussion of "keys", so I'm a bit mystified. Can the list comment on the recipe I use to retrieve a clean kernel source tree, and on what the heck Tom Rini was talking about with converting from a rev to a key and back? Also, I see from the bitkeeper logs that linuxppc_2_4_devel gets merged into from both linuxppc_2_4 and Linus's tree. Am I right in assuming that I still want linuxppc_2_4_devel for ppc405 support?
