The Utilities/cmlibarchive directory contains a reduced distribution
|
|
of the libarchive 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 libarchive snapshots and
|
|
nothing else. No Git ref points explicitly to the head of this
|
|
branch, but it is merged into our history.
|
|
|
|
Update libarchive from upstream as follows. Create a local branch to
|
|
explicitly reference the upstream snapshot branch head:
|
|
|
|
git branch libarchive-upstream 35df7c8b
|
|
|
|
Use a temporary directory to checkout the branch:
|
|
|
|
mkdir libarchive-tmp
|
|
cd libarchive-tmp
|
|
git init
|
|
git pull .. libarchive-upstream
|
|
rm -rf *
|
|
|
|
Now place the (reduced) libarchive content in this directory. See
|
|
instructions shown by
|
|
|
|
git log 35df7c8b
|
|
|
|
for help extracting the content from the upstream svn repo. Then run
|
|
the following commands to commit the new version. Substitute the
|
|
appropriate date and version number:
|
|
|
|
git add --all
|
|
|
|
GIT_AUTHOR_NAME='LibArchive Upstream' \
|
|
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL='libarchive-discuss@googlegroups.com' \
|
|
GIT_AUTHOR_DATE='2013-02-09 12:17:57 -0500' \
|
|
git commit -m 'libarchive 3.1.2 (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:libarchive-upstream
|
|
cd ..
|
|
rm -rf libarchive-tmp
|
|
|
|
Create a topic in the main repository on which to perform the update:
|
|
|
|
git checkout -b update-libarchive master
|
|
|
|
Merge the libarchive-upstream branch as a subtree:
|
|
|
|
git merge -s recursive -X subtree=Utilities/cmlibarchive \
|
|
libarchive-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 libarchive-upstream
|
|
|
|
to get the commit from which the libarchive-upstream branch must be started
|
|
on the next update. Edit the "git branch libarchive-upstream" line above to
|
|
record it, and commit this file.
