Hello, everyone. |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I'm pleased to announce that the services run by repo-mirror-ci project |
| 4 |
had received a little update yesterday. I've added three new features: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
1. EAPI=6 awareness. All our services are running pkgcore, and sadly |
| 7 |
pkgcore does not support EAPI=6 yet. While I can't currently afford to |
| 8 |
implement all features of EAPI=6 at the moment, I have enabled |
| 9 |
the minimal support needed to get cache updates and pkgcheck working. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
2. Metadata cache for pull requests. Now all pull requests are mirrored |
| 12 |
in [1] along with the master branch of Gentoo repository. The pull-NNN |
| 13 |
branches contain the pull request state with metadata cache merged on |
| 14 |
top of it. Furthermore, cache update is done and committed twice -- |
| 15 |
before and after the pull request commits. As a result, you can easily |
| 16 |
compare changes to cache the pull request does, e.g. [2]. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
3. Exported function information. Have you even wondered which of |
| 19 |
the inherited eclasses sets a particular phase function? You have to |
| 20 |
guess no more, my little hack to pkgcore [3] figures that out for you. |
| 21 |
The results are put in metadata cache [4] since they're quite expensive |
| 22 |
to obtain, and since we update metadata cache for pull requests, you can |
| 23 |
now easily see if a pull request changes inherited phase functions! |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
As a matter of formality, I have to add that the last feature is quite |
| 26 |
fresh and the result format may change when it gets polished and added |
| 27 |
to more package managers. Currently the entry lists all redefined phase |
| 28 |
functions in form of <phase>:<eclass> for phase functions defined by |
| 29 |
eclasses, or <phase>:- for phase functions defined in ebuild. Phases |
| 30 |
not listed have no explicit overrides, so are defined by EAPI or not |
| 31 |
defined at all. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Enjoy! If you'd like to help, please consider providing patches for |
| 34 |
EAPI=6 in pkgcore ;-). |
