Fuel@OPNFV submodule fetching and patching
==========================================
This directory holds submodule fetching/patching scripts, intended for
working with upstream Fuel/MCP components (e.g.: reclass-system-salt-model) in
developing/applying OPNFV patches (backports, custom fixes etc.).
The scripts should be friendly to the following 2 use-cases:
- development work: easily cloning, binding repos to specific commits,
remote tracking, patch development etc.;
- to provide parent build scripts an easy method of tracking upstream
references and applying OPNFV patches on top;
Also, we need to support at least the following modes of operations:
- submodule bind - each submodule patches will be based on the commit ID
saved in the .gitmodules config file;
- remote tracking - each submodule will sync with the upstream remote
and patches will be applied on top of <sub_remote>/<sub_branch>/HEAD;
Workflow (development)
======================
The standard development workflow should look as follows:
Decide whether remote tracking should be active or not
------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: Setting the following var to any non-empty str enables remote track.
NOTE: Leaving unset will enable remote track for anything but stable branch.
.. code-block:: bash
$ export FUEL_TRACK_REMOTES=""
Initialize git submodules
-------------------------
All Fuel sub-projects are registered as submodules.
If remote tracking is active, upstream remote is queried and latest remote
branch HEAD is fetched. Otherwise, checkout commit IDs from .gitmodules.
.. code-block:: bash
$ make sub
Apply patches from `patches/<sub-project>/*` to respective submodules
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This will result in creation of:
- a tag called `${FUEL_MAIN_TAG}-opnfv-root` at the same commit as Fuel@OPNFV
upstream reference (bound to git submodule OR tracking remote HEAD);
- a new branch `opnfv-fuel` which will hold all the OPNFV patches,
each patch is applied on this new branch with `git-am`;
- a tag called `${FUEL_MAIN_TAG}-opnfv` at `opnfv-fuel/HEAD`;
.. code-block:: bash
$ make patches-import
Modify sub-projects for whatever you need
-----------------------------------------
Commit your changes when you want them taken into account in the build.
Re-create patches
-----------------
Each commit on `opnfv-fuel` branch of each subproject will be
exported to `patches/subproject/` via `git format-patch`.
NOTE: Only commit (-f) submodules when you need to bump upstream ref.
NOTE: DO NOT commit patched submodules!
.. code-block:: bash
$ make patches-export
Clean workbench branches and tags
---------------------------------
.. code-block:: bash
$ make clean
De-initialize submodules and force a clean clone
------------------------------------------------
.. code-block:: bash
$ make deepclean
Sub-project maintenance
=======================
Adding a new submodule
----------------------
If you need to add another subproject, you can do it with `git submodule`.
Make sure that you specify branch (with `-b`), short name (with `--name`):
.. code-block:: bash
$ git submodule -b master add --name reclass-system-salt-model
https://github.com/Mirantis/reclass-system-salt-model
relative/path/to/submodule
Working with remote tracking for upgrading Fuel components
----------------------------------------------------------
Enable remote tracking as described above, which at `make sub` will update
ALL submodules (e.g. reclass-system-salt-model) to remote branch (set in
.gitmodules) HEAD.
* If upstream has NOT already tagged a new version, we can still work on
our patches, make sure they apply etc., then check for new upstream
changes (and that our patches still apply on top of them) by:
* If upstream has already tagged a new version we want to pick up, checkout
the new tag in each submodule:
* Once satisfied with the patch and submodule changes, commit them:
- enforce FUEL_TRACK_REMOTES to "yes" if you want to constatly use the
latest remote branch HEAD (as soon as upstream pushes a change on that
branch, our next build will automatically include it - risk of our
patches colliding with new upstream changes);
- stage patch changes if any;
- if submodule tags have been updated (relevant when remote tracking is
disabled, i.e. we have a stable upstream baseline), add submodules;
.. code-block:: bash
$ make deepclean patches-import
$ git submodule foreach 'git checkout <newtag>'
$ make deepclean sub && git add -f relative/path/to/submodule
