1 I've attached a short log of the more recent changes I've made to my
2 rewite branch. This includes rebasing the broken seed stage update
3 commit with dwfreed's patch which fixes the binpkgs not being
4 created/used in stage1.
5
6 There are a few trivial commits with some of the more notable ones
7 being:
8
9 Creating and using a new AutoResume class for handling all file
10 operations involving the "autoresume" feature. This keeps the code
11 logic in one place, easy to maintain and change. It also removes a
12 great deal of duplicated "if ..." checks and code which follows.
13
14 Another removes a bunch of duplicated code in the ClearBase class.
15
16 I have also started using snakeoil's lib functions for version
17 generation in the live git checkouts. As well as some other of it's
18 osutils.
19
20 I've updated my rewrite with the other changes to master since I did
21 started the rewrite branch. Some commits were just cherry-picked
22 across, some needed minor editing to suit. A few needed the changes
23 needed to be applied manually to the newer code.
24
25 Since I did a bunch of rebasing to my original batch of commits, you
26 will need to:
27
28 "git pull --force whatever-you-named-my-remote rewrite"
29
30 or for a new clone:
31
32 git clone --branch rewrite http://dev.gentoo.org/~dolsen/catalyst/
33
34
35 As of the last commit cd733bf2bfc04659372984fe88415d18e5eb2991
36 everything has been working according to my testing (up to stage3
37 tested)
38
39 Please run your tests on it to see if I've missed anything.
40
41 I'll work on refactoring the compression/decompression code soon which
42 will be another larger change. It should be just a matter of
43 adding/removing some defaults/config options to add new capabilities.
44 There should be no need for further code changes when it is done. Time
45 will tell of course...
46
47 There are too many commits/changes to spam this list with. For those
48 that wish to review them individually, I suggest using dev-vcs/gitg
49 which is a very nice gtk frontend to git. It is great for reviewing
50 commits/changes for any of the branches. It also has the ability to let
51 you hand pick individual changes from a displayed diff for generating
52 commits.
53
54 Once there is a rewrite branch in the main repo, you will be able to
55 view changes in gitweb without the need to download them.
