Re: OpenMoko OE repository not quite ready for MokoMakefile production usage
Hi Rod, The oe snapshots site: http://downloads.openmoko.org/OE/snapshots/ The monotone repository: monotone.openmoko.org I have done various tests on them such as run different versions of monotone againest the database files, build from scratch with these settings, etc. There might still be subtle problems in different usage scenarios, so please give feedback and I'll fix them asap. - John On Thu, Nov 29, 2007 at 09:14:15PM +1030, Rod Whitby wrote: There is one issue which means that MokoMakefile cannot change over to using the new area yet. I have discussed this with John, but am reporting here so people don't continually ask me why MokoMakefile hasn't changed yet. The issue is that new OpenMoko mtn database snapshot area at http://downloads.openmoko.org/OE/snapshots/ only contains a single unversioned mtn database. MokoMakefile currently identifies the user's monotone version, and downloads the correctly versioned mtn database from http://www.openembedded.org/snapshots/ (look there to see the naming convention and list of 6 different mtn versions that are supported). Only if it cannot match the exact version does it fall-back to using the unversioned snapshot. Unless OpenMoko is going to require a specific Linux distribution and monotone version for building the OpenMoko distribution, I would prefer to wait until OpenMoko replicates this facility for their developers before I change the MokoMakefile, otherwise we will have *many* new users having problems with monotone database migrations, and negating the ease of setup that MokoMakefile currently provides. I have given John details on how to do this - I'm sure Graeme or Mickey can get the older mtn binaries from Koen to implement it. I've asked John to let me know as soon as there are correctly labelled versions in http://downloads.openmoko.org/OE/snapshots/, and I will immediately update MokoMakefile to use the new area when that happens. -- Rod Whitby -- MokoMakefile author ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: OpenMoko OE repository not quite ready for MokoMakefile production usage
I've now updated MokoMakefile to use these official OpenMoko sites. Great! Do we just 'make update-makefile update all' to get rolling with the new schema? ; -- Jay Vaughan ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

I've now updated MokoMakefile to use these official OpenMoko sites. Now all default MokoMakefile builds will be building the known-good tested revision that the OpenMoko build manager releases each week. Just use make update as usual to get the latest known-good version. For those people who wish to continue using the bleeding-edge versions from the OpenEmbedded monotone server directly, you can do: make OM_MONOTONE_SITE=monotone.openembedded.org update to get the very latest changes contributed by the community which have not been tested by OpenMoko yet. You must do this every time you update, or else it will automatically revert to the official server. -- Rod ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
