Re: [gentoo-user] Layman and Git branch

[marco]

I have a profile for my config , additional ebuilds , packages etc but
i'm looking for the best way to have a production-profile and a
devel-profile.

Better have two separeted git , one for production and one for devel ?
or better one git and use branch functions ?

With Layman and two git repo i can sync each repo when i want and i can
enable/disable one of them to switch from/to production/devel .


I don't know how to do that directly with git.

Best regards
Marco

If you're set on using Layman though, does Layman switch back to master
on every sync, or is it the initial checkout you're concerned about?
Or just a convenience to have Layman switch branches?

This is speculation (and a bit of looking at Portage code), since I
haven't tried this.  Ignoring Layman, repos.conf repositories support
syncing[1], so does it work to create:

/etc/portage/repos.conf/myrepo.conf:

[myrepo]
location = /path/to/local/repo
sync-type = git
sync-uri = git://...
auto-sync = yes

and just emerge --sync?  If you didn't have the local repo already
then it would clone and use master, but I suspect that you can switch
branches afterward, and Portage will simply call "git pull".

There also seem to be extra options "sync-git-clone-extra-opts" and
"sync-git-pull-extra-opts" for git modules, so you might be able to
set:

sync-git-clone-extra-opts = --branch somebranch

to fix initially checking out master.

HTH,

[gentoo-user] Layman and Git branch

[marco]

Hi,
i have a layman git profile to store my stuff.

Is possible to force layman -S to sync a specific branch ?
