Hello! I’m trying to see how to apply the recipe at <http://www.bddebian.com:8888/~hurd-web/source_repositories/glibc/> from within a Git clone produced by Hydra.
A plain ‘git clone’ doesn’t fetch objects references by the TopGit-managed branches, so ‘tg remote --populate’ is really needed. However, ‘tg remote --populate’ wants to fetch data from the network, which is not possible from within a Nix build chroot. I thought we could make ‘nix-prefetch-git’ (the script Hydra uses to clone repositories) somehow fetch the TopGit branches automatically when it sees ‘refs/top-bases’, but I don’t know exactly how to make it so, nor whether it would even work. IOW, I’m open to all sorts of suggestions. :-) Thoughts? Thanks, Ludo’. _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.cs.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
