Hi, Jessica
After discussed with Lianhao, seems there're two requirements
1) Lianhao expect that we can use the capability of git clone functionality
provided by egit. Egit is strong and implemented its own git, support all
sorts of ops,
so we need not use native git; of course there's no need to consider proxy
settings at all.
It will use http proxy set by eclipse itself. Lianhao said it's difficult
for him
to set proxy and call it through shell. So, use egit clone is his
requirement.
So, if we want to use it for clone project.
1. One way: User must install egit, then we try to hack the code, directly
call the egit related UI Wizard during poky-meta-project creation phase..
Risk is: Egit is in incubation. I did meet some errors when checkout,
(NULLPointer...).
If user does not install it, create project will fail.
2. Another way: We study the code, get rid of useless code, only extract
clone
related code.
Risk is: git repository is implemented as a whole, UI are complex too.
The code
amount is huge.
So my question is: Since poky.git is the only destination, we need not
consider support
all sorts of repositories at all. Also, if user want to bitbake, he must
configure his
git well (such as proxy problem). I am not sure how shell git works now and
is it totally intolerable?
We need egit's implementation instead of current shell script implementation.
2) You want to support commit, diff, patch, cherry pick, etc.
It's no problem. Actually it's what egit is supposed to do.
After user create poky-meta-project successfully, he will click the project,
then
Select->Team->Share->git, a local repository is set up. commit, diff,
branch,
anything is not a problem. Poky does not allow submit changes to remote
repository, so user can only have local repository to track their changes.
So I guess the only problem left here is that whether we should try extract
egit internal clone
Functionality. If yes, which way 1) install egit and hack the UI code 2) study
the code, extract
needed code. Both risks have been listed above.
Thanks & Regards,
