| wilei | Hi! Should there be (in the mainline-crack GIT repository) tags for 4.11.8 and 4.11.9 kernels? I'm trying to build custom kernel from mainline-crack and after "git fetch" the command "git checkout -b `cat COMMIT`" I get error: 'fatal: reference is not a tree: f82a53b87594f460f2dd9983eeb851a5840e8df8' and that's for 4.11.9. And the command "git tag" doesn't return 4.11.9 nor 4.11.8... | 07:56 |
|---|---|---|
| apw | wilei, what does COMMIT contain ? | 08:25 |
| apw | wilei, the master repo for that has 4.11.9 in it | 08:27 |
| wilei | apw, COMMIT is copy of http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.11.9/COMMIT | 08:29 |
| apw | does the instructions tell you to git checkout -b `cat COMMIT` | 08:30 |
| apw | that sounds wrong to me | 08:30 |
| apw | git checkout -b test `head -1 COMMIT` | 08:30 |
| apw | wilei, does that work ? | 08:30 |
| wilei | I'll try that | 08:31 |
| apw | wilei, where are the instructions you are following | 08:32 |
| wilei | that worked. but wierdly that `cat COMMIT´ worked for v.4.10.17... :) | 08:32 |
| apw | as i suspect we have enhanced the content of COMMIT at some point, perhaps our instructions are wrong | 08:33 |
| wilei | apw, I'm mixing these instructions: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild | 08:33 |
| apw | (and if they say that command they are) | 08:33 |
| apw | wilei, ok the only reference on that page to COMMIT is not related to the contents of the COMMIT file in a mainline build | 08:34 |
| wilei | files http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.10.17/COMMIT and http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.11.9/COMMIT doesn't differ that much | 08:34 |
| apw | wilei, perhaps so but you are asking it to interpolate those two lines on the end | 08:35 |
| apw | of the git ceckout -b | 08:35 |
| apw | so you get: | 08:35 |
| wilei | yeah | 08:35 |
| apw | git checkout -b v4.10.17 17a4d48033813f2ba893d6918fa2931afcd9af02 | 08:35 |
| apw | which is asking ot make a local branch under the name of a likely existing tag | 08:35 |
| apw | that is just asking for trouble | 08:35 |
| apw | the first line is the tag name in that repo which you want, the second line is a check | 08:36 |
| apw | so we can tell if the tag changes, which it never should | 08:36 |
| wilei | true :) thanks! | 08:36 |
| apw | git checkout -b <useful branch name> `head -1 COMMIT` | 08:37 |
| apw | makes sense | 08:37 |
| wilei | but actually not :) | 08:43 |
| wilei | git checkout -b v4.11.9 `head -1 ../v4.11.9/COMMIT` returns fatal: Cannot update paths and switch to branch 'v4.11.9' at the same time. | 08:43 |
| wilei | and if I run command "git checkout -b dev f82a53b87594f460f2dd9983eeb851a5840e8df8" I still get error "fatal: reference is not a tree: f82a53b87594f460f2dd9983eeb851a5840e8df8" | 08:44 |
| wilei | the f82a53b87594f460f2dd9983eeb851a5840e8df8 is reference for tag v4.11.9 which is missing from mainline-crack | 08:45 |
| wilei | mainline-crack as git://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel-test/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/mainline-crack | 08:46 |
| wilei | but it exists in git://kernel.ubuntu.com/virgin/testing/crack.git | 08:46 |
| wilei | "git tag | grep v4.11" doesn't return v4.11.8 nor v4.11.9 when done in clone of mainline-crack, so the tags are missing :) | 08:47 |
| apw | wilei, no you already have a branch | 08:49 |
| apw | you made it when it went wrong before | 08:49 |
| apw | don't use tag names for your branch | 08:49 |
| apw | and use a "new" branch name with using -b | 08:49 |
| wilei | only branches I've in my clone are master and v4.10.17 | 08:50 |
| wilei | and v4.10.17 is checkouted just like I was trying to checkout v4.11.9 | 08:51 |
| apw | wilei | git checkout -b v4.11.9 `head -1 ../v4.11.9/COMMIT` returns fatal: Cannot update paths and switch to branch 'v4.11.9' at the | 08:51 |
| apw | if it is saying that, you already have a v4.11.9 _thing_ in your repo | 08:51 |
| wilei | and I tried this too: "git checkout -b wdev f82a53b87594f460f2dd9983eeb851a5840e8df8" resulting "fatal: reference is not a tree: f82a53b87594f460f2dd9983eeb851a5840e8df8" | 08:51 |
| apw | you cannot trivially name a branch the same as a tag | 08:51 |
| apw | yeah use the tag name | 08:52 |
| apw | git checkout -b wdev v4.11.9 | 08:52 |
| wilei | apw, that gives: "fatal: Cannot update paths and switch to branch 'wdev' at the same time." | 08:52 |
| wilei | now I got it working, there was some problem with git fetch so I had to clone repo again | 08:58 |
| apw | wilei, sounds odd, as that error is nothing to do with fetching, but hey, if it is working life is good | 09:47 |
| lucasrangit | What is the reason for having debian.master and debian.hwe-edge in https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/xenial/tree/?h=hwe-edge ? | 22:13 |
