What a stupid thing I did!!

AceLan — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 03:39:43 +0000

I’ve been curious who made the test_branch_1 branch on the ubuntu git tree for a long time. And today I checkout that branch and see the amazing log.

acelan@acelan-nb:~/workspace/ubuntu-karmic$ git branch -r

origin/HEAD -> origin/master
origin/arm
origin/ec2
origin/fsl-imx51
origin/master
origin/mvl-dove
origin/netbook
origin/patches-that-need-love
origin/pending-upstream-patches
origin/test_branch_1

acelan@acelan-nb:~/workspace/ubuntu-karmic$ git checkout -b test origin/test_branch_1

Checking out files: 100% (9533/9533), done.
Branch test set up to track remote branch test_branch_1 from origin.
Switched to a new branch ‘test’

It was my second day, and I didn’t know too much about git. Of course, the branch was already been deleted, and nobody will know what I had did. :p

Add extra work for kernel package

AceLan — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 02:27:35 +0000

If you would like to do more extra work while packaging the kernel package, modify this file
debian/rules.d/2-binary-arch.mk

If you would like to do more extra work after installing the kernel package, modify this file
debian/control-scripts/postinst

My git commands backup

AceLan — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 07:26:50 +0000

On a new installed machine, you have to add your info in the ~/.gitconfig
git config --add user.name "AceLan Kao" git config --add user.email acelan.kao@ccc.ccc

Clone Jaunty kernel and add my public repository, so that I can publish my modification to public git tree.
git clone --reference linux-2.6 git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-jaunty.git git remote add zinc git+ssh://zinc.ubuntu.com/srv/kernel.ubuntu.com/git/acelan/acelan-jaunty.git
NOTE. The reference git tree(ex. linux-2.6) shouldn’t be removed under any circumstances, or the reference object will disappear and the git tree will become unusable. The file .git/objects/info/alternates will record the referenced git tree, try to specify an available one, if you removed the original reference tree accidentally.

We usually cherry pick upstream kernel commit, this is the command.
git cherry-pick -s -e -x aa1812b3e

And the request letter format for cherry pick.
git request-pull \ \ git://kernel.ubuntu.com//my-jaunty.git \ > new_branch_1-request-pull.txt
