The Utilities/cmcurl directory contains a reduced distribution
|
||||||
|
of the curl source tree with only the library source code and
|
||||||
|
CMake build system. It is not a submodule; the actual content is part
|
||||||
|
of our source tree and changes can be made and committed directly.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We update from upstream using Git's "subtree" merge strategy. A
|
||||||
|
special branch contains commits of upstream curl snapshots and
|
||||||
|
nothing else. No Git ref points explicitly to the head of this
|
||||||
|
branch, but it is merged into our history.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Update curl from upstream as follows. Create a local branch to
|
||||||
|
explicitly reference the upstream snapshot branch head:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
git branch curl-upstream 3fe5d9bf
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Use a temporary directory to checkout the branch:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
mkdir curl-tmp
|
||||||
|
cd curl-tmp
|
||||||
|
git init
|
||||||
|
git pull .. curl-upstream
|
||||||
|
rm -rf *
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Now place the (reduced) curl content in this directory. See
|
||||||
|
instructions shown by
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
git log 3fe5d9bf
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
for help extracting the content from the upstream repo. Then run
|
||||||
|
the following commands to commit the new version. Substitute the
|
||||||
|
appropriate date and version number:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
git add --all
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
GIT_AUTHOR_NAME='Curl Upstream' \
|
||||||
|
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL='curl-library@cool.haxx.se' \
|
||||||
|
GIT_AUTHOR_DATE='Wed Sep 10 08:07:58 2014 +0200' \
|
||||||
|
git commit -m 'curl 7.38.0 (reduced)' &&
|
||||||
|
git commit --amend
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Edit the commit message to describe the procedure used to obtain the
|
||||||
|
content. Then push the changes back up to the main local repository:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
git push .. HEAD:curl-upstream
|
||||||
|
cd ..
|
||||||
|
rm -rf curl-tmp
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Create a topic in the main repository on which to perform the update:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
git checkout -b update-curl master
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Merge the curl-upstream branch as a subtree:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
git merge -s recursive -X subtree=Utilities/cmcurl \
|
||||||
|
curl-upstream
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If there are conflicts, resolve them and commit. Build and test the
|
||||||
|
tree. Commit any additional changes needed to succeed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Finally, run
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
git rev-parse --short=8 curl-upstream
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
to get the commit from which the curl-upstream branch must be started
|
||||||
|
on the next update. Edit the "git branch curl-upstream" line above to
|
||||||
|
record it, and commit this file.
