I still fail to understand the bikeshedding here - you really don't |
| 2 |
need a git checkout to get something akin to a changelog. Use the |
| 3 |
github API directly... |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
The following 1-liner could be trivially productised (maybe even parse |
| 6 |
$PWD to set the path argument...) |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
curl https://api.github.com/repos/gentoo/gentoo/commits?path=app-admin/eselect |
| 9 |
| perl -MJSON -e 'foreach $i (@{decode_json(join("",@lines=<STDIN>))}) |
| 10 |
{ print "$i->{commit}->{author}->{name} - |
| 11 |
$i->{commit}->{author}->{date}\n\n $i->{commit}->{message}\n"; }' |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Yeah - it's not quite as pretty as our current Changelog, but date, |
| 14 |
author/committer, commit-msg etc. are all there and you can filter by |
| 15 |
path just the same as you would with native git log... |
| 16 |
You could parse the local $PORTDIR/metadata/timestamp* and add an |
| 17 |
'until' param to the URL to filter commits beyond where a user has |
| 18 |
rsync'd up to... |
