When updating a property (at the moment, only 'last_revision'), first check whether the user already added it to the main config. If so, update there even if there is a local config.
This way, 'last_revision' can be shared between developers as part of the repository while still configuring per-developer repo paths outside of the git repository in a local config. An example of a repository which is set up like that is tizen-distro, with instructions for such a collaborative maintenance found here: https://review.tizen.org/git/?p=scm/bb/tizen-distro.git;a=blob;f=README;hb=refs/heads/tizen-ivi Signed-off-by: Patrick Ohly <patrick.o...@intel.com> --- scripts/combo-layer | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/scripts/combo-layer b/scripts/combo-layer index 851003d..71fa7b127 100755 --- a/scripts/combo-layer +++ b/scripts/combo-layer @@ -109,7 +109,9 @@ class Configuration(object): readsection(self.localparser, section, repo) def update(self, repo, option, value, initmode=False): - if self.localparser: + # If the main config has the option already, that is what we + # are expected to modify. + if self.localparser and not self.parser.has_option(repo, option): parser = self.localparser section = "%s|%s" % (repo, self.combobranch) conffile = self.localconffile -- 2.1.4 -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
