Hi all,
Please find attached the patch of the prefix repoman sources against the
current trunk. I hope I removed all hunks that have prefix-only
changes.
You realize I wrote generic SCM support into repoman over the summer
right? :P It was never merged (afaik I slacked on it, but also because
Ehhhh no... probably because at that time I wasn't making my hands dirty
on portage code.
it uses Popen and you pesky OSX folks are stuck on python2.3, so I need
to convert to portage.spawn).
You can drop that, as I already require python 2.4, since portage needs
at least 2.3.1 currently and I don't feel like checking with an older
version to see if it breaks more. During bootstrapping I first install
python 2.4. On a slightly related side note: you can also drop all your
bash-2 code, as we end up running bash-3 too. Would only be nice if the
basic functionally would work with bash-2, otherwise I need to bootstrap
bash too. (Worth the time if it simplifies portage.)
ZOMG, I love you long time. *shudders at python 2.3*
However the support was generic, so for pretty much any system that 'is
kinda like cvs/svn' should work fine with a few tweaks to the exec
mapping. <bias>This of course excludes GIT, since it's a huge
non-standard piece of crap.</bias>
Great! I feel that SVN won't be the only thing folks use, so I'm
looking forward to your interface from a (hopefully) functional view
point.
I haven't actually tried the others, but the support should be trivial
assuming they have similar commands and output (yay regex...oh wait, not
quite yay :) )
I may work on fixing that code up and putting it into HEAD before I retire.
Ehhhh... what? The first is nice, the latter for sure isn't.
We will see; I may stay on and do both, but I don't have a ton of time
to work on stuff and it makes me feel guilty, hence trying to clean up
loose ends around here.
