[Linux-ia64] new bitkeeper tree for 2.5 linux/ia64 kernel

[Linux-ia64] new bitkeeper tree for 2.5 linux/ia64 kernel

[David Mosberger]

OK, here is hoping I won't regret this: there is now a new bitkeeper
tree which in theory should correspond to my tree and should (usually)
build (unlike the to-linus-2.5 tree, which never builds).

The tree is at:

  http://lia64.bkbits.net:8080/linux-ia64-2.5

My hidden agenda is of course to encourage more folks to keep pushing
fixes back to Linus, so that by the time 2.6 comes around, the ia64
kernel will build directly from Linus' source tree.  We're actually
reasonably close at the moment.

Hi David,

Just to be sure, your hidden agenda doesn't include a clause about no
longer releasing patches on a regular basis?

Thanks,
Jes

Not at all.  BitKeeper isn't Open Source and I'm certainly not going
to force anybody into using it.

Are you going to set up the automatic patch extraction from this tree,
like ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/ports/ia64/v2.4/testing/cset?

I have no idea how this works and I'm not really interested in
learning about it either.  But I totally agree that it's a Good Thing.
So, if I _have_ to do something (e.g., because of permissions or some
such), give me a receipe for what I need to do.  Other than that, go
ahead and make the magic happen...

Bjorn did it recently for the 2.4 ia64 bk tree.  He would be the best
person to ask.

Here's what I did (on kernel.org, from memory):

	mkdir ~/BK
	(cd ~/BK && bk clone -q bk://lia64.bkbits.net/linux-ia64-2.4 linux-ia64-2.4)

	mkdir -p ~/bkexport-cache/linux-ia64-2.4
	mkdir -p /staging/helgaas/linux-ia64-2.4
	mkdir -p /pub/linux/kernel/ports/ia64/v2.4/testing/cset

	mkdir ~/bin
	cp ~dwmw2/working/bkexport/bkexport.sh ~/bin/
	cat <<-EOF > ~/bin/update-patch
		#!/bin/sh

		/bin/nice -n 12 /home/helgaas/bin/bkexport.sh /home/helgaas/BK/linux-ia64-2.4 /pub/linux/kernel/ports/ia64/v2.4/testing/cset /home/helgaas/bkexport-cache/linux-ia64-2.4 "" /staging/helgaas/linux-ia64-2.4
	EOF

Then I just run ~/bin/update-patch by hand whenever I update
the BK tree.  dwmw2 runs it periodically from cron for linux-2.4
and linux-2.5, but my updates are much less frequent, so I just
do it by hand.

Your memory is excellent.  It worked without a hitch.

OK, for all you patch-heads:

  http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/ports/ia64/v2.5/testing/cset/

I added a cronjob to update it daily, but if it falls behind, I
probably won't notice.  Just holler in that case.

Enjoy,
