http://git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/scripts/tree/switch_all_submodules_to_head_and_clean

by David C. Rankin

Git gurus, A couple of questions: (1) Why does the new script contain 'ff' in the following when there is no provision to use the -f option more than once in https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-clean.html: git clean -dxff shouldn't it just be 'git clean -dxf' (2) Is there any difference between: git submodule foreach "git checkout $branch" git submodule foreach "$THISSCRIPT $gituser" and git submodule foreach "git checkout $branch && $THISSCRIPT $gituser" logically it looks like the answer is nothing, but it never hurts to ask. Additionally, I've been using the --recursive option with the submodule foreach calls: git submodule update --recursive git submodule foreach --recursive "git checkout $branch" Is there any reason against continuing to use the --recursive flag if we are now calling $THISSCRIPT recursively? Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Not that misery loves company, :) but about two weeks ago I had all kinds of git problems. Check the mail list archives. Basically I wasted an entire Saturday fixing everything. I still don't know the root cause why everything blew up. "Oh, but wait, git is free/libre software and Linus is a god --- please roll over in the mud. Then pee all over yourself and pretend your happy!" ;) Darrell

Yet Another Overly Complicated Tool Created By Masochistic Geeks Intended Only for Masochistic Geeks. :) I hold my breath every time I resync my local tree. My guess is you are seeing those errors because your local tree is long out-of-date. Perhaps delete each affected CONFLICT module and then run the switch_all_submodules_to_head_and_clean script. Yeah, again and again. Or, consider deleting the entire local tree and perform a git clone --- overnight because the repo is 5.5 GB or so. tde-i18n is the biggest pig module of them all and will take the longest. Darrell

After you manually update the switch_all_submodules_to_head_and_clean script all modules should update correctly, which will include removing the old modules and pulling the renamed modules. Darrell

Do new git branches and tags (master->origin/master, etc.) change repo update calls?

by David C. Rankin

Tim, all, After a hiatus, I was updating my tde repos to see how horribly screwed I am attempting to build on Arch after their LSB and systemd changes. Pulling head I noted several new branch and tag names. I know what they are, but they look like they have added origin as a path component to 3.5.13-sru, etc.. Specifically, I saw: From http://scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git/tde + 8303efe...6fd6395 master -> origin/master (forced update) * [new branch] v3.5.13-sru -> origin/v3.5.13-sru So it looks like v3.5.13-sru is now origin/v3.5.13-sru. The question that brought up was "do I need to modify any of the scripts I use that update my local git repo to handle the 'origin/v3.5.13-sru' designation, or will the change be handled by the .gitmodule data? Additionally, there were new tags noted: ec1d9d9..9ec64b2 master -> origin/master 5ae82a0..169c39a v3.5.13-sru -> origin/v3.5.13-sru * [new tag] v3.5.13.1 -> v3.5.13.1 * [new tag] v3.5.13.2 -> v3.5.13.2 Same question, is there anything I would need to change in my existing checkout scripts such as: git submodule foreach --recursive "git checkout v3.5.13-sru" to reflect the new branch or tag designations? Like: git submodule foreach --recursive "git checkout origin/v3.5.13-sru" Also, if there are any new links or pointers for building 3.5.13 on bleeding edge distros like Arch, I would appreciate them as well. What is the state of HAL requirements? I presume it is still fully required in 3.5.13, but what about 14? I will be building 3.5.13, so I'll start by checking on the state of HAL in the Arch user repository. Thanks for any help you can give :) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Thank you. As Slavek mentioned, I did learn how to do this. The challenge now is remembering. :) Darrell

Re: [trinity-devel] Etherpad font sizes

by Darrell Anderson

>I assume that the scale will help to Darrell, and there is no need >to change >the default font size. By the way, I sometimes adjusts to 85%. You must have a very large monitor. I have a 19" wide screen. Between the newly discovered magnifier option and browser fonts, I now have something --- acceptable. I notice the past many years an obsession by software and web site developers to use the smallest damn fonts possible. I presume the real problem is people using TVs for computer monitors and never testing anything on a standard desktop monitor. I notice the etherpad does not remember my magnification setting. Is there a way to preserve that? Darrell

Latest upstream package support for R14.0.0

by Darrell Anderson

All, What are the latest versions of various upstream packages that Trinity supports and compiles? Packages such as gcc, glibc, automake, cmake, libpng, cups, ffmpeg, etc. I am asking because I am updating the R14 press release draft. The more recent the list the better. Thank you! :-) Darrell

Etherpad font sizes

by Darrell Anderson

All, Is there anything I or we can do to increase the font sizes in etherpad? I'm not talking about hitting the browser page size button a bazillion times to completely distort the whole page. The fonts sizes are just too damn small. Thanks. Darrell
