mr: Lazy processing of repositories
I'm using mr to manage the repositories for the various software that I track. However, I don't want to check out all the repos by default. (The list is getting long). I also don't want to make a modification to the .mrconfig each time I want to check out a repo. (E.g. have 'skip = true' on all repos, and remove the skip if I decide to check out a repo.) I'm looking for a way to do lazy checkouts and updates. A lazy repo would not be checked out unless I run a command to tell mr to check out the repo. (Something like mr checkout foo.) After I force mr to check out a lazy repo, mr would act on the repo for future mr runs. One way to do this is to have skip check for the existence of a different file for each repo. Creating the file would activate the repo. Any ideas for a better approach? Svend ___ vcs-home mailing list vcs-home@lists.madduck.net http://lists.madduck.net/listinfo/vcs-home

Good idea! In mr git, you can now use skip = lazy to get this behavior.
The lazy shell function is built into mr, but this shows how it works:
lazy() {
if [ $MR_ACTION = checkout ] || [ -d $MR_REPO ]; then
return 1
else
return 0
fi
}

Thanks for implementing this feature!

I can't get this to work. (Maybe I'm using it incorrectly.)
How do I force mr to checkout a lazy repo? 'mr checkout' seems to ignore any
arguments, so 'mr checkout repo' skips repos that have 'skip = lazy'. If I
manually create the repo directory, mr thinks the repo is already checked out.

Yes, this is a use case for mr checkout somehow taking a parameter, or for the stuff that Adam has been talking about to let mr be told which repos to act on. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature ___ vcs-home mailing list vcs-home@lists.madduck.net http://lists.madduck.net/listinfo/vcs-home
