Hi, After Holger & Alexander talk at OpenWrt Summit I started thinking about handling feeds in LEDE. Right now we simply point to external repositories within feeds.conf(.default): src-git packages https://git.lede-project.org/feed/packages.git src-git luci https://git.lede-project.org/project/luci.git src-git routing https://git.lede-project.org/feed/routing.git src-git telephony https://git.lede-project.org/feed/telephony.git
I see few problems with this solution: 1) No info on used feeds revisions Problem: When you get an image you can't say which revisions of feeds were used to build it. Possible solution: Include some extra file with info about each feed and used revision 2) No pointing specific revision Problem: We always use the latest revision of each feed. It's easy to hit some problem/regression introduced in a feed without an easy way of tracking it down. You have to guess which was the latest working revision. Possible solution: Always point specific revision in feeds.conf.default, e.g. src-git packages https://git.lede-project.org/feed/packages.git^commithash . Unfortunately this will require us to update this file over and over. 3) The way of specifying revisions Problem: This is only possible with manually creating a proper feeds.conf. I'm wondering if this would make sense to make is somehow more script friendly? Alexander, Holger: what do you think about this? Possible solution: Implement solution suggested in problem 2 or maybe add support for some env variable(s) pointing revision(s)? I think the problem that really needs solving is the first one. The rest we can probably just discuss (hint: waiting for your opinions). Right now it's not possible/easy to rebuild image I got downloaded. Even if I'm ready to create my own feeds.conf I don't know what revisions to put there. Also please note this is only an introduction to have binary reproducible builds. -- Rafał _______________________________________________ Lede-dev mailing list Lede-dev@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/lede-dev
