Hi guys,
for a couple of weeks now the command "dim rebuild-tip" fails for me.
The error message is:
Merging drm-intel/drm-intel-gt-next... Applying manual fixup patch for
drm-tip merge... patching file drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gt/uc/intel_uc_fw.c
dim:
dim: FAILURE: Could not merge drm-intel/drm-intel-gt-next
dim: See the section "Resolving Conflicts when Rebuilding drm-tip"
dim: in the drm-tip.rst documentation for how to handle this situation.
This also happens on a fresh clean install of dim, so I'm pretty sure
that this isn't a problem on my side.
What can we do?
I think you should probably try to update your git. Looks like you're
using git version 2.25.1, and over the past year most people have been
using 2.34.1 or later.
There can be subtle differences either in the merge conflicts or in the
recorded conflict resolutions (git rerere) between git versions, and
sometimes a resolution from one can't be reused in another.
If we knew which exact versions we require, we could add a check in
dim. Maybe we should just randomly warn about older than
2.34.1. *shrug*.
Ah! Thanks a lot for that hint, yes that explains it.
All the systems where I had this phenomena where Ubuntu 20.04 based
(which uses git 2.25.1), the ones with Ubuntu 22.04 where unaffected.
Good to know,
Christian.
BR,
Jani.
