How to create your own CVS mirror of linuxppc-2.5-benh tree
Useful if you don't want to use/learn BK, and if you hack some stuff in your kernel tree.
(hacking stuff in an rsynced tree is painful as rsync will overwrite your modifications,
and you'll have to re-patch things).
This is not necessary to have a cvs server, you can use it locally :
mkdir /home/cvsroot
export CVSROOT=/home/cvsroot
cvs init
I advise you not to work as root, so you'll have to set up write permissions for your
compiling user for the following directories:
/home/cvsroot (if you don't use a remote cvs server)
/usr/src/bk
/usr/src/linuxppc
Do the initial import to CVS:
#create the directory and get the source
mkdirhier /usr/src/bk/linuxppc
rsync -avzq rsync.theorie.physik.uni-muenchen.de::linuxppc-2.5-benh \
/usr/src/bk/linuxppc/
#do the initial CVS import
cd /usr/src/bk/linuxppc/
cvs import -ko -m 'initial import' linuxppc vtag rtag
cd ..
#replace the rsynced tree with the CVS one
rm -rf linuxppc
cvs checkout linuxppc
Then, use this shell script (which I named 'bksynccvs') to update CVS from rsync mirror
#!/bin/bash
#get new stuff from the rsync mirror - don't use --delete or
#it'll remove the CVS directories
rsync -avzq rsync.theorie.physik.uni-muenchen.de::linuxppc-2.5-benh \
/usr/src/bk/linuxppc/
cd /usr/src/bk/linuxppc/
#add new directories and their files to CVS
for i in `find . -type d|grep -v CVS`; do
if [ -d $i/CVS ]; then
echo ok >/dev/null;
else
cvs add -ko $i $i/*
fi;
done;
#add new files to CVS
(for i in `find . -type f|grep -v "/CVS/"`; do cvs status $i 2>&1 1>/dev/null \
| grep "cvs add" | sed "s/^.* //"; done;) \
| xargs cvs add -ko -m "added at `date`"
#commit the new stuff
cvs commit -m "automerge `date`"
You have then to create a working directory from CVS:
cd /usr/src
cvs checkout linuxppc
Patch your new working directory with whichever patches you want to add...
Then, use this to update your working directory:
cd /usr/src/linuxppc
cvs update -d 2>&1 | grep ^[CM]
make oldconfig
make
I then added a crontab entry to automatically update the CVS repository from rsync
every night (by calling bksynccvs). You can do it by hand if you prefer :)
