<body lang="EN-US" link="#0563C1" vlink="#954F72">
<div class="WordSection1">
<p class="MsoNormal">Hello all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Most of my team’s closed source recipes use something like the following:
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">SRC_URI = "git://git@host/path;protocol=ssh;branch=${BRANCH}"<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">SRCREV = “${AUTOREV}”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">BRANCH ??= “master”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(BRANCH is just a convention we use to make the SRC_URI branch easy to override.)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This makes nightly builds convenient because we always build from the latest. For release versions, we can use SRCREV_pn-recipe and/or BRANCH_pn-recipe overrides in local.conf. We get the SRCREV overrides using buildhistory-collect-srcrevs.
But buildhistory has no notion or tracking of SRC_URI or branches, so currently we use a script that generates the BRANCH overrides.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m interesting in adding SRC_URI support to buildhistory (or a similar mechanism), and would like to get some input.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Option 1) The easiest way, I think, is to just generate SRC_URI_pn- overrides with variable expansion.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Option 2) I think it could be useful to introduce BRANCH as a convention. Currently the “branch” SRC_URI parameter implicitly defaults to “master”. I could foresee it implicitly defaulting to “${BRANCH}”, with BRANCH ??= “master” to replicate
existing functionality. To handle multiple source-controlled SRC_URIs, we’d have to do something similar to how SRCREV has a “name” override. With this option, I wouldn’t think it would be necessary to generate SRC_URI overrides; just BRANCH overrides.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Option 3) A combination of 1 and 2?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Looking forward to input.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Chris<o:p></o:p></p>
