emerge 9999 from forked repository.

[linux_os2]

I know how to install from a specific branch :

Code: Select all

EGIT_OVERRIDE_BRANCH_DESULTORY_UGRD=resume emerge xxxx.9999

howto emerge from a specific fork of repository?
Thanks

I sense there's confusion here. Say again, what do you think that does and how do you know it does it? Because I don't see such a variable in git-r3 man page.

Change the EGIT_REPO_URI, but I don't know if that would work on the command line. I think you need to modify the ebuild in a local user overlay.

linux_os2,

Do you fork or branch?
A fork is a copy of a repository
A branch is a the same repository but contains work that is being developed, for whatever reason.

EGIT_OVERRIDE variants exist for all of the EGIT_* variables like that, it prints it on emerging (see bug 764422 for improved docs).

linux_os2,

A fork is a copy of a repository
A branch is a the same repository but contains work that is being developed, for whatever reason.

I made a fork of the repository "desultory/ugrd" and cloned "main" and "resume" branch into the "linuxandos2/ugrd".
I want to emerge from the "resume" branch from my own "linuxandos2/ugrd" repository.

From the bug Sam referenced:

- EGIT_OVERRIDE_REPO_${NAME} -- to override the repository URI,

- EGIT_OVERRIDE_BRANCH_${NAME} -- to override the branch,

- EGIT_OVERRIDE_COMMIT_${NAME} -- to override the commit id or tag,

- EGIT_OVERRIDE_COMMIT_DATE_${NAME} -- to request last commit older than
the specified date.

Those shod work for you. You need to override the repo URI. If you want particular branch from it, override that too the same way you've done it in the first post.

Georgi

If I do:

Code: Select all

EGIT_OVERRIDE_REPO_DESULTORY_UGRD="https://github.com/linuxandos2/ugrd" emerge ugrd -1

then main of my repository is taken.

Code: Select all

>>> Unpacking source...
 * Repository id: desultory_ugrd.git
 * Using EGIT_OVERRIDE_REPO_DESULTORY_UGRD=https://github.com/linuxandos2/ugrd
 * No support will be provided.
 * Fetching https://github.com/linuxandos2/ugrd ...
git fetch https://github.com/linuxandos2/ugrd +HEAD:refs/git-r3/HEAD
From https://github.com/linuxandos2/ugrd

if I combine like:

Code: Select all

EGIT_OVERIDE_REPO_DESULTORY_UGRD="https://github.com/linuxandos2/ugrd" EGIT_OVERRIDE_BRANCH_DESULTORY_UGRD=resume emerge ugrd -1

then the resume branch of the desultory/ugrd repository is fetched.

Code: Select all

>>> Emerging (1 of 1) sys-kernel/ugrd-9999::gentoo

 * Checking out https://github.com/desultory/ugrd to /var/tmp/portage/sys-kernel/ugrd-9999/work/ugrd-9999 ...
git checkout --quiet resume

if I do this:

EGIT_OVERIDE_REPO_DESULTORY_UGRD="https://github.com/linuxandos2/ugrd" EGIT_OVERRIDE_BRANCH_LINUXANDOS2_UGRD=resume emerge ugrd -1

then interesting messages are posted:

Also the wrong repo is fetched.

Ended up making the resume branch the default one on github.
and specifying only EGIT_OVERRIDE_REPO_DESULTORY_UGRD="https://github.com/linuxandos2/ugrd"

Maybe emerge could be enhanced to allow a combination of overrides.

Lots of thanks for your support.

Strictly speaking, this is an eclass behavior, not an emerge behavior. What happens if you spell override correctly? Your failing examples all spell it as overide (too few r), so emerge does not notice it is set.

I think it is because you name the "EGIT_OVERIDE_REPO_DESULTORY_UGRD" incorrectly. First missing a "R" in the word "OVERIDE" It should be "EGIT_OVERRIDE_REPO_XXXXX_UGRD. Secondly the XXXXX portion should be "LINUXANDOS2".

silly fault of me.
This works:

Code: Select all

EGIT_OVERRIDE_REPO_DESULTORY_UGRD="https://github.com/linuxandos2/ugrd" EGIT_OVERRIDE_BRANCH_DESULTORY_UGRD=resume emerge ugrd -1

Code: Select all
