Bug 132383 – Add git.eclass to portage

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Avuton Olrich 2006-05-05 14:07:21 UTC]

Here's a git.eclass, it'd be great to see this in portage. This uses and depends on cogito, and I could expand the cogito stuff out into the ebuild if requested. I've been using it for a couple of months now, and it works well for my purposes.

Donnie, you mentioned you had one on the gentoo-dev ML and I think ferdy was working with it a bit.

[Comment 3 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) 2006-05-29 23:04:39 UTC]

Yep, I do have one. I've been sort of waiting for somebody who actually has a use for it in the portage tree before adding it, but I guess that sys-kernel/git-sources already could use it.

[Comment 4 Robin Johnson 2006-06-11 03:24:38 UTC]

Donnie, I'd appreciate it in the tree so I can use it for testing some upstream userspace stuff.

Please try the attached git.eclass and report issues.

I still think we should repack and even prune the repositories every now in a while, more or less the same a user would do it if he tracked the git repo manually. So I'd appreciate comments and ideas.

This version gets some fixes from spyderous and uses the new remote config scheme (thus depending on >=dev-util/git-1.4.0).

[Comment 7 Avuton Olrich 2006-06-11 12:03:43 UTC]

Perfect, that was a drop-in place replacement for my old cogito/git eclass, and works perfectly with my overlay. Thanks.

[Comment 8 Hanno Böck 2006-06-15 13:49:54 UTC]

Would it be possible to change the eclass so it shows which files were changed on update? (like in the cvs.eclass)

[Comment 9 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) 2006-06-15 15:34:07 UTC]

If you change `git-fetch -f -n -u` to `git-pull -f --no-tags -u` does that do it? I think it's the merge that shows changes, not the fetch.

[Comment 10 Fernando J. Pereda (RETIRED) 2006-06-16 10:27:18 UTC]

Actually you can do it using 'git diffstat' (which is called by 'merge' which is called by 'pull' :P).

Please try the attached version and see if it suits your needs.

This version shows a diffstat when doing updates.

[Comment 12 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) 2006-06-18 14:56:14 UTC]

For anyone using my overlay for this, I've merged in the latest changes.

[Comment 13 Hanno Böck 2006-07-14 12:57:59 UTC]

Suggestion: Change EGIT_PATCHES to PATCHES, because cvs and other eclasses use that as well, makes things more unified.

[Comment 14 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) 2006-07-14 13:13:19 UTC]

subversion.eclass uses ESVN_PATCHES and horde.eclass uses EHORDE_PATCHES, there's precedent either way.

This version should be ready for inclusion. Adds protocol URI check from Donnie's version and a couple of misc fixes / typos.

Looks good to me. Could you post to -dev one last time? Then we'll commit.

This is in the tree now. Thanks for all the comments / fixes / feedback / ...
