Following on from last weekend’s work, today I’m learning more about git, and the difference between Plumbing and Porcelain commands. The original intent was to use git tag -l freshports/$refname to detect if a tag exists. The problem there, it always returns 0. [dan@mydev:/var/db/ingress/repos/ports] $ git tag -l | head 10-eol 4-eol 5-eol 6-eol 7-eol […]
Processing commits on branches with git – part 2 Read More »
With today’s work on Processing commits on branches with git, good progress was made. You can see commits on the quarterly branch (not up to date, because it’s not yet automated). You can see the port on the quarterly branch, if there’s a commit on the branch. Want to see a particular commit on a

Transitioning from subversion to git was both technically and personally challenging. During the COVID-19 pandemic there was a lot of work to carry out. A new server was created on AWS with a new layout and structure. For a few months it was nothing but my day job and FreshPorts in all my non-working hours.

The tracking of branches has turned out to be more involved than I thought. Many functions are already branch-aware and return / do the right thing. Tonight, I tried my recent idea of using head to get the slave ports for a given master port on a branch. So far, that works. The hard part
Branches – add a new port automagically Read More »
I used to think branches were simple when it came to FreshPorts, but I was wrong. Consider slave ports for example. If we get a commit for databases/mariadb100-server, we have to update the slave ports, but only the slave ports on the branch, not the slave ports on head. That sounds easy enough, but keep

This afternoon, Bert JW Regeer wished that FreshPorts “would show information from the quarterly branches too…”. I knew I had done some work on this and that there was a way to display branch information. I check the source code and found the ?branch= parameter, but there was nothing in the database for this branch.

Tonight I started doing some database structure changes for branches. I thought: Hopefully nobody commits to two branches at once. Yes. They do. Oh oh. mat gave me a few examples: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=758626+0+current/svn-src-all http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=747218+0+current/svn-src-all http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=735782+0+current/svn-src-all Look at those URLs and you’ll see: Changes in other areas also in this revision. The code already ignores everything after

What do you want out of FreshPorts? You want to know: What is available What version Any notes in UPGRADING Any vulnerabilities You want to know about this for HEAD and for RELENG_9_1_0. You want to know that on HEAD, sysutils/bacula-server is version 5.2.12_3, but on head, it’s 5.2.12. That’s important. That’s commit history. FreshPorts
What branches means to FreshPorts Read More »
I just realized (although, deep in the recesses of my innocent mind, I suspect I knew) that FreshPorts will require one repo for each branch. The email on the svn ports branches mailing list includes multiple branches. A quick glance around the archives finds me these branches: RELENG_9_1_0 RELENG_9_2_0 2014Q1 I know there will be

Over the past few weeks, I’ve made some progress towards supporting the branches for FreshPorts. Today, I started making the first code changes and I wanted to share that with you as I went along. Finding the messages FreshPorts processes commits by parsing the messages from the mailing list. I think it might be feasible
