The CVS repository has now been replaced by a shared git repository.
Some infrastructure still needs to be made git-aware, for example
there is currently no autobuilder. You can view the shared tree here.
Other git trees of interest include the
merge tree, the
compat tree and the
sym2
tree.
Anonymous read-only access is available to the git repositories.
Please see the
git tutorial.
Debian users can install "cogito" package and use those tools instead.
git-clone git://git.parisc-linux.org/git/linux-2.6.git parisc-2.6
If firewalls prevent you from using the git daemon, you can also fetch
the source using the rsync protocol
git-clone rsync://git.parisc-linux.org/git/linux-2.6.git parisc-2.6
or via http
git-clone http://www.parisc-linux.org/git/linux-2.6.git parisc-2.6
The http method is deprecated as it will transfer 100MB of data whenever
the shared repository is repacked.
Local Git access - For working repositories on parisc-linux.org
git-clone -l -s /var/git/linux-2.6.git parisc-2.6
This shares your objects with the ones in the master copy, reducing the
amount of space consumed.
Authenticated Git access - Developers with write access to the
repository will have an account on the server and use
ssh to authenticate themselves.
git-clone ssh://git.parisc-linux.org/var/git/linux-2.6.git parisc-2.6
Use ssh-agent to avoid having to re-enter the ssh password when
pushing or pulling.
After the initial checkout, further updates can be done by simply
typing git-pull. If you have write access, git-push
origin will commit your changes back to the shared repository.
In order to keep our git tree easy to work with, there are some best
practices for developers to follow:
- Keep history free of merges
- Merge from Linus' tree regularly
- Rebase on the top of Linus' tree occasionally
- If you're going to update the -pa number in the Makefile, do so
in a separate commit, so that the changes can be cherry-picked easily
without having to hand-edit the diff. You can (and should) push the
Makefile commit at the same time as your other commits.
- Check 'git-log origin..' before you git-push so you don't inadvertently
commit something you shouldn't. Immediate unwinds are possible, but
qualify as Black Arts.
Developers who have write access agree with and abide by
the PA-RISC Linux
Acceptable Use Policy.
