• Product: Gentoo Infrastructure
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Michael Lawrence 2015-11-22 00:43:29 UTC]

https://github.com/creationix/gitfuse 

/var/lib/layman/my-overlay (R/O)

/home/necrose99/my-overlay (LOCAL-RW) 

gitfuse remote. R/W 


anyhow it would be nice to configure a R/W copy of the overlay or specific overlays with git structures 

and option to have gitfuse for remote PUSH/Commit sync.

layman's unionfs ?? or squash fs 



repoman FIX.... , repoman -commit > shove repo fixes/QA back to github etc.

[Comment 1 Michael Lawrence 2015-11-22 00:45:09 UTC]

ie layman -push-qa-fixes 

ie manifests

Not sure what you are suggesting us to do here. Complete sentences would help for a start.

got busy suddenly with calls. 


Basicly I want Layman to do the usual for an overlay /var/lib/layman....

however be able to define ie /home/$mydir/my-overlay 

git-clone /home/$mydir/my-overlay My working GIT(Hub/etc) copy Read/Write
dont strip .git so one can git push 


overlayfs unionfs etc for fusion mounting , and or just making layman aware of local READ/WRITE copy. and some DIFF DB 

https://github.com/bcle/fuse4js https://github.com/creationix/gitfuse

or the like to to make it easier to test changes to ebuilds , 
and thus push ie Manifest file changes back to github etc after a good test.

git fuse looks interesting if it lets you mount the remote repo like a local folder for much the same and or can auto-push some fixes.

ie On a laymn pull it will pull a copy into a users home dir via git-clone

as well as the standard var ,  if added Read/write. 

gentoo sunrise /home/necrose99/sunrise  R/W and or symlink/s 

/var/lib/layman/sunrise or applicable. 

"foobar" now version 25 bump ebuild test copy ebuild to version 25 

manifest/repoman the change , well all be it works/ or ahh cluster fzzz!@#$%^ (nuts try again) 

when working layman --send fix --changelog upstream package changed tested bump and works err something.... alias~y 
enter github USER/PASS 

PULL Request DONE.


I've got the flu so I'm sweating bullets --so if I'm loopy forgive me. 

anyhow I was just hoping to bind laymans traditional repo , with ie my own R/W copy for tinkering, testing and fixing. ie in my home or /home/shared-repos/github

I was just hoping to be able to point layman to r/w when testing , 
then point back to real repo when done.. or the like. 
push the fix and be done.
