Re: [oi-dev] Git or Mercurial?
Hi Jim, You're pretty much right on all of that - github.com/illumos/illumos-gate is the main source for illumos. Some OI stuff has made its way onto https://github.com/openindiana However much of the legacy OI stuff is still on http://hg.openindiana.org illumos-gate build instructions should reference the github one. OI stuff relating to /hipster should reference github, whilst the /dev stuff probably still the old hg stuff. > Date: Thu, 13 Mar 2014 16:45:43 +0100 > From: jimkli...@cos.ru > To: oi-dev@openindiana.org > Subject: [oi-dev] Git or Mercurial? > > Hello all, > > Many instructions on both the illumos and OI wikis (including some > pages compiled by myself a couple of years ago) describe Mercurial > (hg) as the way to fetch the illumos-gate sources.

relating to /hipster should reference github, whilst the /dev stuff probably
still the old hg stuff.
First of all, I think I forgot to thank Alasdair for the answer.
Also, in "How to Build Illumos" page
http://wiki.illumos.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=1146919
there are links to the following Mercurial repos, which I think
are ALL OBSOLETE:
* http://hg.openindiana.org/illumos-gate:
https://hg.openindiana.org/upstream/illumos/illumos-gate
History reported in a strange manner, but apparently the
last changes are: 14187 dated 2013-09-06 and (probably a
"transplanted" older fix?) number 14188 dated 2013-03-04

Does any of those have a cronjob to sync from the current (github)
upstream head branch into the respective Mercurial repo clone?
For example, the Git head is recent:
* https://github.com/illumos/illumos-gate.git leads to
https://github.com/illumos/illumos-gate
latest commit 20 hours ago
And the OI fork I am not so sure about:
* https://github.com/OpenIndiana/illumos-gate
latest commit 2 months ago
Is it the one used for hipster? for oi_151a9? Something else?
I think something needs updating, either the repos, or the docs to
exclude and no longer mention the unmaintained stale resources...
It is misleading otherwise (i.e. I updated my old hg workspace and
expected to have all the recent developments in illumos-gate, while
I actually got only a year-old version of the sources).
Or am I missing something?..
On a side note, I believe the OI and Hipster releases, being open
sourced and all that, should also include their build recipes in
the repo ("illumos.sh" with the specific release-tag strings like
GATE='oi_151a7' and the compiler settings, and maybe other similar
config files), so that anyone interested can rebuild their own
binaries identical to OI's at the time of a specific distro release
(i.e. for certification or audit purposes). Is there any fundamental
objection to such an RFE? :)

For /hipster the "official" way to rebuild illumos-gate is using
components/illumos/illumos-gate component
(https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/tree/oi/hipster/components/illumos/illumos-gate)
from oi-userland. It generates environment necessary for nightly.sh
(look at Makefile).
Not so sure about /dev. It seems that
https://hg.openindiana.org/sustaining/oi_151a/illumos-gate/ is used now.
I think that Jon's intention was to use
https://github.com/OpenIndiana/illumos-gate in the future ,
but I'm not sure if it's actually used now.
