| apw | TimurTabi, can't you just fetch the ref itself from our crack repo ? | 14:28 |
|---|---|---|
| TimurTabi | What do you mean? | 14:32 |
| TimurTabi | I have this complex script that creates an ubuntu_defconfig for any kernel, and one of the first things it does is download those 5-6 patches that were available up to kernel 5.6 | 14:33 |
| apw | TimurTabi, the readme there tells you how to fetch the literal tip from which the build is made, which has the patches on the top. | 14:34 |
| TimurTabi | So to avoid rewriting large chunks of that script, I just want to grab those patches. | 14:34 |
| TimurTabi | I want to build a kernel based on *my* kernel tree, not yours. | 14:34 |
| apw | and you could then for format-patch off the top of that. | 14:34 |
| apw | TimurTabi, right you don't have to check it out, just fetch it | 14:35 |
| TimurTabi | You'll have to show me exactly what you're talking about with a code example. | 14:35 |
| apw | Taking that as an example: https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.11.12/ | 14:36 |
| apw | it tells you to fetch this: git://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel-test/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/mainline-crack cod/mainline/v5.11.12 | 14:36 |
| apw | git you `git fetch git://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel-test/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/mainline-crack cod/mainline/v5.11.12` in your tree | 14:36 |
| apw | then FETCH_HEAD will have those commits on it. | 14:36 |
| TimurTabi | Well, I don't see how that's any better than downloading crack.bundle and using git-bundle on it. | 14:37 |
| apw | perhaps not, though it feels simpler | 14:39 |
| apw | as that branch was made from the bundle, and indeed it is that actual branch which gets built on the testers | 14:40 |
| TimurTabi | Ok, well, I'll make a note of your suggestion, and maybe one day I'll try it out. It would be nice if I didn't have to make patches from a tree and just so that I have to git-am them and then delete them. | 14:40 |
| apw | you could just `git cherry-pick <bottom>..<top>` them no ? | 14:41 |
| apw | like `git cherry-pick FETCH_HEAD~6..FETCH_HEAD` | 14:41 |
| TimurTabi | Well, the ~6 is variable | 14:42 |
| TimurTabi | it could be ~7 one day | 14:42 |
| apw | though you know the base | 14:42 |
| apw | it is by definition the same as the tip | 14:42 |
| TimurTabi | v5.11.12..FETCH_HEAD | 14:42 |
| TimurTabi | ? | 14:42 |
| apw | right that. | 14:42 |
| TimurTabi | Ok, I'll think about, thanks. | 14:42 |
