Hi, |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I think I improved the eclass a bit by making it more efficient both |
| 7 |
disk and network wise among other things: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
- Branchs are supported so different versions of the ebuild can use |
| 10 |
different versions of the code without duplicating objects. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
- Once you cloned the first time, following installations only fetch |
| 13 |
updates for the branch you are going to use. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
- It clones a 'bare' repository, i.e. without a working copy, thus |
| 16 |
saving disk space. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
- Uses 'git tar-tree' instead of 'rsync' to checkout a particular |
| 19 |
commitish (EGIT_TREE). |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
- It is able to repack and prune the repository to save disk space and |
| 22 |
improve performance. Ebuilds can override this behavior by setting |
| 23 |
EGIT_{PRUNE,REPACK} to false. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
I also bash'ified the eclass, I don't know if this is a good thing but |
| 26 |
makes things easier to read (at least for me). Everything should work |
| 27 |
perfectly on bash2 systems. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
I'd like people who use Git eclass to test it and see if any of the |
| 30 |
'features' I introduced break things for them. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Also, git-sources *should* use this eclass once it is in the tree since |
| 33 |
people using it will save _lots_ of bandwidth and disk space. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Latest version is in my public overlay[1]. |
