[PATCH 1/2] bitbake-setup: rename "abort" rebase conflict stragegy to "halt"

[Antonin Godard]

As per [1], do not use the word "abort" and replace it with "halt" for
the rebase conflicts strategy. This is something we try to follow in our
documentation.

This is not what halt means. Maybe 'reset' would be a better choice? Or 
if you really want to follow the recommendations from that website, I 
guess "cancel"?

The trouble is none of these alternatives really match what abort
means, reset and cancel do mean something different. "abandon" might be
closer but still isn't right. "attempt" maybe? If we get too creative
with this, users just won't understand what it means :(

Re: [bitbake-devel] [docs] [PATCH 1/2] bitbake-setup: rename "abort" rebase conflict stragegy to "halt"

[Alexander Kanavin]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 5842 bytes --]

There’s a simpler rationale too: this follows ‘git rebase —abort’. If git
upstream finds a better word, we will follow. And I agree that all of the
proposed alternatives are less accurate.

This goes against previous efforts to convert the documentation and other

I had the impression, from the documentation, that bitbake-setup would leave the
repository in the middle of a rebase, to let you deal with conflict, and then
continue on the next bitbake-setup update call.

It appears to use --abort instead, so a misunderstanding from my part.

Out of these options, I think "reset" might be the best one, I agree with
Quentin. But I'm not a native speaker, so I might not have an understanding as
subtle as others.

I'll let Richard decide on what to do here.

The trouble with ‘reset’ is that it means resetting the whole system to its
initial state. ‘Abort’ is about a stopping a particular operation such that
the system is returned to the state before the operation started.

I have no idea how INI has utterly failed to catch these nuances in its
rationale you linked, and is even accusing the term of ‘lacking technical
clarity’, but it certainly doesn’t help the cause.

"reset" also struggles as "git reset" means something quite different.

"attempt" is probably the closest other option we have since that
describes what it does rather than the way it recovers, the recovery is
then just implied.

I am torn on this, I recognise the concern around the word, equally,
the word does have two meanings and we do clearly fit one of the cases,
as Alex mentions, we are inheriting the issue from git too. I fear any
change we make here will hurt usability.

Cheers,

Richard

Personally I don't have any specific preference, but as a hint for you guys: for a non-native English speaker (of a Slavic origin at least), "abandon" would convey a practically identical sense to "abort" and would be some sort of a compromise.

‘Abandon’ doesn’t revert the state to how it was. It just leaves the mess
as it is.

After Merriam-Webster:

Abort means to stop, cancel, or terminate a process, project, or mission
before its completion. It is often used to describe abandoning a dangerous
or flawed plan (e.g., "abort the mission") or ending a pregnancy
prematurely. It also refers to a technical stoppage in computing or
aerospace.

Synonyms for Abort:
Terminate/Stop: Halt, end, cease, discontinue, break off.
Cancel/Abandon: Scrub, scrap, call off, abandon.

'Abort' carries no notion of reverting the mess either.

That's a digest collected by Google's AI (formerly known as Google
Dictionary) from a number of dictionaries (it refers to Merriam-Webster,
Collins, Vocabulary.com and Cambridge Dictionary to name some). My
quotation came directly from it. I have verified that this link is not
personallised, so you also should be able to see what I see in it:

Having read that, and the entry for ‘abandon’, there’s a clear difference
between them.

Abandoning is uncontrolled, dangerous and ungraceful. Abortion is the
opposite, and does go back to a previous, ‘safe’ state in examples, if not
in definition itself.

The trick with human languages is, that they are inherently subjective. It
is not possible to analytically compare two ways in which a given word
'rings' to a human ear.
The whole topic was not about the exact, dictionary defined meaning of the
word 'abort', but rather about a human perception of it, and possibly
undesired connotations it might invoke in some humans.
I wanted to offer a helping hand, that all.

Equally, bitbake-setup will not abandon anything or anyone. That word has a
clear, negative connotation in all of its usages (unlike abort).

[PATCH 2/2] doc/bitbake-user-manual-environment-setup.rst: replace shell blocks by console

[Antonin Godard]
