Thread: buildfarm building all live branches from git
For those who have been following along, today I reached a bit of a milestone. The buildfarm member quoll, which is running a git-ized buildfarm client due to be released in a week or so, today successfully built all the live branches, all the way back to 7.4, from git. Note, this is running from my test git repo, not the community's repo. Sadly, that means its change links will be broken - I'm not exactly sure what gets hashed to provide a commit ID in git, but the IDs don't match between these two repos. See <http://www.pgbuildfarm.org/cgi-bin/show_status.pl?member=quoll>. cheers andrew

Thanks for working on this. ...Robert

I added an enhancement that allows the client to specify a URL where changesets can be found. The server code no longer presumptively assumes that the changeset can be found on the community repo. see the bottom of <http://www.pgbuildfarm.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=quoll&dt=2010-05-03%2021:21:11> for an example of this in action. cheers andrew

BTW +1 for gitting (heh, git puns are fun) a good git repo published. Ive given up trying to trust it for back branches and always either go to release tarballs or cvs. > Sadly, that means its change > links will be broken - I'm not exactly sure what gets hashed to provide a > commit ID in git, but the IDs don't match between these two repos. Yeah, git basically hashes *everything* including the previous commits. So if one commit is different in the repo all the commits after that will have a different hash :-(

However, I have in fact solved this issue by allowing buildfarm members to specify a url to show changesets. In tha case of quoll this is set thus scm_url => 'http://github.com/oicu/pg-cvs-mirror/commit/', and its change links now do the right thing. The new client code should be released in about a week. cheers andrew
