Hi RTEMS Community. This email explains the RTEMS Project and Repos in GitLab.
GitLab is will be open and accounts can be created from 12PM EST / 5PM GM. Note, GitLab failed to automatically identify the RTOS/RTEMS licence and it incorrectly states it is Apache 2.0. It is not and no licences have changed. An issue is open to sort this out. GitLab lets you have repositories structured as projects. We have a top level namespace called RTEMS and our repositories reside under this namespace. Having everything under a single namespace lets us use a lot of cool GitLab features. The link is https://gitlab.rtems.org/rtems. We have some other namespaces alongside RTEMS such as Administration, Approvers and Architecture. The projects in the top level namespace are place holders for the groups we use across GitHub and groups let us control what users can do. The Administration project is used to run GitLab and the servers we have at OSL OSU. If you have found a bug or problem please raise an issue. If you have a feature or a good idea please raise an issue. If you know an answer to an issue that is open please answer. The Architecture project lets us define groups of users who can own and approve architecture specific parts of RTEMS. We have this at the top so architecture owners can manage CI runners. The top level RTEMS Project contains the following project groups: 1. Documentation - Our documentation. 2. Packages - The various packages we can build for RTEMS. Think of them as 3rd party libraries 3. Pre-Qualification - The pre-qualification projects based on the recent ESA funded work 4. RTOS - The real-time kernel, its examples and the release scripts 5. Tools - Our ecosystem tools such as the RSB, RTEMS Tools and the SIS simulator 6. Programs - A place to organise activities similar or related to Google Summer of Code Main Branch We have chosen this time to move from a master branch to main on all our repos. Leaving the git.rtems.org repos open while we worked on GitLab meant the project could continue to function as we deployed GitLab however we have had to make commits in the GitLab repos to add files like CODEOWNERS and to test the platform. The simplest solution for us is to roll any commits to git.rtems.org into the GitLab repos before we go live. If you have maintained any waiting to be merged on local branches in your repo you can rebase to the main branch. The following is an example of how to switch an RTEMS git.rtems.org repo you use to track RTEMS to RTEMS GitLab: 1. The procedure assumes your local master branch matches the git.rtems.org master branch and any changes you have are on local branches. 2. Set the remote origin to GitLab: git remote set-url origin ssh://g...@gitlab.rtems.org:2222/rtems/rtos/rtems.git 3. Fetch the GitLab repo: git fetch 4. Check out the GitLab main branch: git checkout main 5. We recommend you delete your local master branch: git branch -D master The following is an example of how to switch an RTEMS git.rtems.org repo you have changed in you wish to post for review and merging to RTEMS GitLab: 1. The procedure assumes your local master branch matches the git.rtems.org master branch and any changes you have are on local branches. 2. Fork the GitLab repo to your user account. Open the project repo in GitLab and click Fork, located top right. You will need to select a namespace and it needs to be the one based on your user name. Select the namespace drop down in the Project URL field and scroll down or enter your user name and click on the entry. 3. Set the remote origin to GitLab: git remote set-url origin ssh://g...@gitlab.rtems.org:2222/chris/rtems.git Replace my user name with yours. 4. Fetch the GitLab repo: git fetch 5. Check out the GitLab main branch: git checkout main 6. We recommend you delete your local master branch: git branch -D master Merge Request Approvers Every merge request in RTEMS requires two approvers. Approvers are organized as members of subgroups within the top-level Approvers group https://gitlab.rtems.org/approvers. We have added initial CODEOWNERS files in GitLab that details which subgroups own and approve merge requests. There are some members of the community who need to be added to specific subgroups but we cannot add them until they have accounts. If you want to be a code owner and approver please raise an Administration issue. Anyone in the subgroup of “General Approver” is able to be one of the approvers of merge requests. However, at least one approver must belong to a subgroup that is a code owner for a specific file or directory. Self-approval by the author of the merge request is not allowed. Please take a few minutes to look over the project structure. A project has its own issues so when you want to create a new issue please add it to the project it relates to. We can link issues across projects using Tags. The “RTEMS Issues in GitLab” email explains RTEMS’s issues in GitLab and how they have been imported from Trac. If you need help please join the #gitlab-support channel on our Discord server. You can find our invite link here https://www.rtems.org/discord. We will also respond to posts on this list when we have the time.
