Attachments:	Patch for git-2.3.10-1.mga5.src.rpm SPEC file to add git-subtree

Description Scott Karns 2015-10-25 15:55:27 CET

Description of problem:
In my work I have encountered a need to use the git-subtree command. It would be very nice if this package was available without resorting to building a custom RPM. I have modified git.spec from git-2.3.10-1.mga5.src.rpm to build and install -- as a separate RPM -- everything needed to make git-subtree available.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.3.10-1.mga5

How reproducible:
N/A

Steps to Reproduce:
N/A

I will upload a patch file for the SPEC that, in addition to the existing git build, creates a git-svn RPM.

Reproducible:

Comment 2 Scott Karns 2015-10-25 15:59:58 CET

I didn't proofread my original report: git-svn should be git-subtree

Comment 3 David Walser 2015-10-27 15:01:44 CET

git-subtree is actually already installed by the git-core package, it's just not in the path, it's at:
/usr/share/doc/git-core/contrib/subtree/git-subtree.sh

I'm assigning this to Anne, who recently talked on IRC about moving it into the path.

Setting version to cauldron (& adding MGA6TOO on the whiteboard) and reassigning to our git maintainer.

@ Shlomi

I didn't add the PATCH keyword, because it was written for Mga5, but you might still want to look at it.

For Mageia 7, git-subtree is indeed [still] here, in the same place:
 $ urpmq -l git-core | grep subtree
/usr/lib64/git-core/git-merge-subtree
/usr/lib64/git-core/git-subtree
/usr/share/doc/git-core/contrib/subtree
...
/usr/share/doc/git-core/contrib/subtree/git-subtree
/usr/share/doc/git-core/contrib/subtree/git-subtree.1
/usr/share/doc/git-core/contrib/subtree/git-subtree.html
/usr/share/doc/git-core/contrib/subtree/git-subtree.sh
/usr/share/doc/git-core/contrib/subtree/git-subtree.txt
/usr/share/doc/git-core/contrib/subtree/git-subtree.xml
...

I suppose one could add to PATH /usr/share/doc/git-core/contrib/subtree/ when installing the package; is there no neater way?

No registered maintainer now, nor active packager, so assigning globally; CC'ing rapsys as its most recent committer.
