Re: Download Linus's latest git tree
Hi All, I just want to improve om my approch as my preview approch failed with git merger conflict. So I did some reverse engg. And came up with this approch. # First clone to the current release. git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git linux cd linux # Added a remote git tree to the .git/config using following command. git remote add stable git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git # Merge the tags from the stable tree to current tree # this will resolve all the conflict and diff and tags git fetch stable master --tags # After this you will be able to chose to checkout any stable # release using particular tags in different branchs. # checkout the stable release v3.14.4 into stable314y branch. git checkout tags/v3.14.4 -b stable314y # Simpilarly you can checkout v3.10.40 int stable310y branch git checkout tags/v3.10.40 -b stable310y # You local repository will have git branch --list master --this branch point to mainline: 3.15-rc7 * stable310y --this branch point to longterm: 3.10.40 stable314y --this branch point to stable: 3.14.4 tutorial # Note but dont use 'git pull' in these sub branchs # You can switch among these branches. git checkout stable314y -f git describe v3.14.4 git checkout stable310y -f git describe v3.10.40 git checkout master -f git describe v3.15-rc7-40-gcd79bde # Note : You can maintain the kernel in the same linux directory. # Note you can do 'git reset --hard HEAD' only on the *master branch.

Because you should never do kernel development as root, just put kernel source trees in your home directory somewhere, like under ~/linux/ thanks, greg k-h ___ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies

Hi Validis, Thanks for this new approach. -Anand Moon On Tuesday, May 27, 2014 2:07 PM, "valdis.kletni...@vt.edu" wrote: On Tue, 27 May 2014 00:16:52 -0700, Anand Moon said: > Please share your thoughts on this.

I keep my git trees under /usr/src - feel free to stick them elsewhere if that makes your workflow or disk management easier. Just remember to fix any pathnames.. :) 1) Get yourself a copy of Linus's tree, almost same as before: cd /usr/src git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git linux Note we called it 'linux', not 'linux-stable'. Remember the full path for this (I keep this one in /usr/src/linux, so that's what I'll use below) Note - this tree should be updated via this. The other trees are different cd /usr/src/linux git pull 2) Make a clone of that tree to use as 'stable': cd /usr/src git clone --local /usr/src/linux linux-stable You now have a copy in /usr/src/linux-stable. Also, *this* clone is local only, so you don't have to re-fetch Linus's tree. git remote add stable git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git git fetch stable git fetch --tags stable This tree you should *NOT* use 'git pull' - use 'git remote update' or 'git fetch v3.specifictag' 3) If you want to get a copy of the linux-next tree as well, it's easy, almost the same workflow: cd /usr/src/ git clode --local /usr/src/linux linux-next git remote add linux-next git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git git fetch linux-next (And again, update via 'git remote update' or 'git fetch') Now the interesting part is that you can do 'git checkout' on all 3 trees *and they're independent* - so you can (for instance) have 3 different 'git bisects' in different stages of completion. Or check out the Linus 3.10 kernel to see how code *used* to be, and the linux-stable 3.14.5 to see how it is *now*, and so on.

Re: Download Linus's latest git tree
Hi All, You can try following steps to checkout to the latest stable kernel. # First clone to the current release. git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git linux-stable cd linux-stable # Create local branch stable git checkout -b stable # Added a remote git tree to the .git/config using following command. git remote add stable git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git # Now fetch the changes to the current stable release. Will checkout the changes to v3.14.y stable. git fetch stable v3.14.y # Now this kernel will merge the changes in to stable branch. git merge FETCH_HEAD Please share your thoughts on this. -Anand Moon On Tuesday, May 27, 2014 7:48 AM, "valdis.kletni...@vt.edu" wrote: On Mon, 26 May 2014 15:04:17 -0300, Lucas Tanure said: > git clone --depth 1 > git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git Note that '--depth 1' results in a faster initial download, but it has a number of disadvatages - you can't clone it into another tree of yours, nor can you push or pull from it.
