| = GNU Arch Repository =
| | {{#externalredirect: https://doc.coreboot.org/distributions.html}} |
| | |
| LinuxBIOS keeps its development tree in a [http://www.gnuarch.org/ GNU arch] repository. You may need to install GNU arch to be able to download the latest tree. You can find a tar of GNU arch at ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gnu-arch/.
| |
| | |
| If you do not want to use GNU arch, please have a look at the Snapshots section
| |
| | |
| == Anonymous access ==
| |
| | |
| You can check it out as follows (instead of tla you can also use baz):
| |
| | |
| <code><pre>
| |
| % # get gpg key for checking signed archives
| |
| % wget \
| |
| http://wiki.linuxbios.org/data/arch/linuxbios-developers-keyring.gpg
| |
| % gpg --import < linuxbios-developers-keyring.gpg
| |
| % # now do some one time registrations
| |
| % tla my-id "John Doe <doe@example.com>" # Add your email address here
| |
| % tla register-archive \
| |
| ftp://openbios.org/pub/arch/linuxbios@linuxbios.org--devel
| |
| % # now check out the archive
| |
| % tla get linuxbios@linuxbios.org--devel/freebios--devel--2.0 freebios2
| |
| </pre></code>
| |
| | |
| == Developer Access ==
| |
| | |
| === Prerequisites ===
| |
| If you want to get write access to the LinuxBIOS repository, you need the following:
| |
| | |
| * GnuPG key (can be created with gpg --gen-key)
| |
| * SSH v2 key (can be created with ssh-keygen -t dsa)
| |
| | |
| === Gentoo users ===
| |
| | |
| If you are running Gentoo you are going to need to `emerge tla`
| |
| | |
| === Preparation ===
| |
| | |
| * Get the arch key I created for the import from CVS.
| |
| | |
| $ wget 'http://wiki.linuxbios.org/data/arch/linuxbios-developers-keyring.gpg'
| |
| $ gpg --import linuxbios-developers-keyring.gpg
| |
| | |
| * Prepare GNU arch for LinuxBIOS
| |
| | |
| # Set your default id:
| |
| $ tla my-id "John Doe <doe@example.com>"
| |
|
| |
| # similar to cvs login, tell gnuarch where to find the archive:
| |
| $ tla register-archive sftp://lxbios@openbios.org/srv/arch/linuxbios@linuxbios.org--devel
| |
|
| |
| # prepare gnupg signature checking:
| |
| $ mkdir -p ~/.arch-params/signing
| |
| $ echo "gpg --clearsign" > ~/.arch-params/signing/\=default
| |
| $ echo "gpg --verify-files -" > ~/.arch-params/signing/\=default.check
| |
| | |
| === Check out ===
| |
| | |
| $ tla get linuxbios@linuxbios.org--devel/freebios--devel--2.0 freebios2
| |
| | |
| === Working on the tree ===
| |
| | |
| Now you can start editing the files. The following applies for symlinks and directories as well.
| |
| | |
| * New files are added with
| |
| $ tla add filename
| |
| | |
| * files can also be renamed using:
| |
| $ tla mv fileA fileB
| |
|
| |
| * files can also be renamed using:
| |
| $ tla mv fileA fileB
| |
| | |
| * files can be deleted:
| |
| $ tla rm file
| |
| | |
| When you're done editing/patching:
| |
| | |
| * Look at your changes:
| |
| $ tla changes
| |
| or
| |
| $ tla changes --diffs
| |
| | |
| * Check the tree:
| |
| | |
| You can do consistency checks on your tree with:
| |
| $ tla tree-lint
| |
| $ tla inventory -Bu
| |
| | |
| Check if your tree is current:
| |
| $ tla missing
| |
| | |
| This will output a list of missing changesets in your local tree, ie:
| |
| | |
| patch-15
| |
| patch-16
| |
| patch-17
| |
| patch-18
| |
| | |
| In which case you should do a
| |
| $ tla update
| |
| before you commit.
| |
| | |
| === Commiting ===
| |
| | |
| Write a changelog. PLEASE DO NOT CREATE EMPTY CHANGELOG MESSAGES:
| |
| $ $EDITOR $( tla make-log )
| |
| | |
| Commit your local tree
| |
| $ tla commit
| |
| | |
| This will ask you for your gpg passphrase (and possibly your ssh key
| |
| password if you set one). Then it will create a new revision in the
| |
| repository.
| |
| | |
| == Source code browsing ==
| |
| | |
| You can also [http://www.openbios.org/cgi-bin/viewarch.cgi/linuxbios@linuxbios.org--devel browse the LinuxBIOS arch repository online].
| |
| | |
| See more repositories at http://www.openbios.org/cgi-bin/viewarch.cgi
| |
| | |
| == Snapshots ==
| |
| | |
| There is an archive of snapshots available at snapshots.linuxbios.org. There is a .bz2 tar file that gets updated when the repository changes. Older snapshots are maintained as well.
| |
| | |
| * [http://snapshots.linuxbios.org/ Download snapshots]
| |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| == Mirroring the repository ==
| |
| | |
| This is very simple. Do:
| |
| | |
| wget -m ftp://ftp.openbios.org/pub/arch
| |
| | |
| Which gives you a snapshot in time of the archive.
| |
| To create a mirror usable by arch:
| |
| | |
| tla register-archive linuxbios@linxubios.org--devel-SOURCE ftp://openbios.org/pub/arch/linuxbios@linuxbios.org--devel
| |
| tla register-archive linuxbios@linuxbios.org--devel ~/{archives}/linuxbios@linuxbios.org--devel
| |
|
| |
| echo gpg --clearsign > ~/.arch-params/signing/=default
| |
| echo gpg --verify-files - > ~/.arch-params/signing/=default.check
| |
| echo linuxbios@linuxbios.org--devel--SOURCE > ~/.arch-params/signing/linuxbios@linuxbios.org--devel
| |
| | |
| To update the mirror with the most recent contents:
| |
| tla archive-mirror linuxbios@linuxbios.org --devel
| |
| | |
| Just don't do this in an account where you plan to commit to the upstream
| |
| archive.
| |
| | |
| == Creating a branch you can edit in local archive ==
| |
| | |
| tla tag -S linuxbios@linuxbios.org--devel/freebios--devel--2.0 you@yourarchive/freebios--devel--2.0
| |
