The Utilities/cmliblzma directory contains a reduced distribution
|
|
of the liblzma 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 liblzma snapshots and
|
|
nothing else. No Git ref points explicitly to the head of this
|
|
branch, but it is merged into our history.
|
|
|
|
Update liblzma from upstream as follows. Create a local branch to
|
|
explicitly reference the upstream snapshot branch head:
|
|
|
|
git branch liblzma-upstream c289e634
|
|
|
|
Use a temporary directory to checkout the branch:
|
|
|
|
mkdir liblzma-tmp
|
|
cd liblzma-tmp
|
|
git init
|
|
git pull .. liblzma-upstream
|
|
rm -rf *
|
|
|
|
Now place the (reduced) liblzma content in this directory. See
|
|
instructions shown by
|
|
|
|
git log c289e634
|
|
|
|
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='liblzma upstream' \
|
|
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL='xz-devel@tukaani.org' \
|
|
GIT_AUTHOR_DATE='Sun Jun 30 19:55:49 2013 +0300' \
|
|
git commit -m 'liblzma 5.0.5-gb69900ed (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:liblzma-upstream
|
|
cd ..
|
|
rm -rf liblzma-tmp
|
|
|
|
Create a topic in the main repository on which to perform the update:
|
|
|
|
git checkout -b update-liblzma master
|
|
|
|
Merge the liblzma-upstream branch as a subtree:
|
|
|
|
git merge -s recursive -X subtree=Utilities/cmliblzma \
|
|
liblzma-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 liblzma-upstream
|
|
|
|
to get the commit from which the liblzma-upstream branch must be started
|
|
on the next update. Edit the "git branch liblzma-upstream" line above to
|
|
record it, and commit this file.
