All,
I am on poky/dylan and I have not yet changed to using the PR server. There
are some pieces of the PR server operation that I don't understand, and I want
to confirm how certain aspects of the PR server work before I make the switch
to make sure I don't make a mess of my builds.
I see that there is import/export functionality for the PR server
("bitbake-prserv-tool export" and "bitbake-prserv-tool import") for saving the
PR server state. However, I'm confused on how it works for independent build
systems.
Example scenario:
1. I make some changes for a product release and build a new image. I push all
layer changes to our local Git repositories and store the resulting image and
packages on our server.
2. I call "bitbake-prserv-tool export" and push the exported table to our local
Git repository.
3. I tag our local Git repositories "v1.0" to mark the latest product release.
4. My hard drive crashes and I need to get a new one. I get my computer back
up and running and do a fresh clone of our local Git repositories and checkout
"v1.0".
5. I call "bitbake-prserv-tool import" using the PR table from our local Git
repository.
6. I do my initial image build, which pulls in all the source code and builds
all packages for the first time.
My question is: will the package versions for all packages be the same after
step 6 as they were after step 1? Or will every PR get incremented by the PR
server in step 6? If so, is there an order to doing things so that I can get
the PRs to match in step 1 and in step 6?
Regards,
Bryan
