Launchpad uses Bazaar2.0, I liked git for 1 day, but github doesnt offer open repositories, or open team projects, so it is back to the old faithful bazaar! Launchpad.net is very cool though.
We have two projects so far
<https://code.launchpad.net/cuis>https://code.launchpad.net/cuis
<https://code.launchpad.net/cuis-packages>https://code.launchpad.net/cuis-packages
To use - begin by making yourself a local working directory...
# mkdir Cuis2.0_trunk
# cd Cuis2.0_trunk
Runtime and One-Click template
=========================
Checkout the vm runtime - this is also a one-click image template for you to branch from, or help improve.
# bzr branch lp:~rodents/cuis/Cuis2.0vm.app
Incremental Kernel Development
==========================
Checkout the current Cuis2.0 kernel development repositories - these are the starting image and InstallStreams for incrementally moving the kernel forwards.
# bzr checkout --lightweight lp:~rodents/cuis/base
# bzr branch lp:~rodents/cuis/release
# bzr branch lp:~rodents/cuis/stable
# bzr branch lp:~rodents/cuis/unstable
1) cuis/base - the starting image to build on using InstallStreams
To check out Juan's original official release, rather than the most recent.
# bzr checkout --lightweight -r tag:Cuis2.0-0393 lp:~rodents/cuis/base test
2) cuis/release - the released updates (included in the release image)
This is intended to track Juan's official updates, which are tagged.
It also tracks ./base/Cuis2.0.1,image showing what it contains.
3) cuis/stable - branch & contribute back your tested updates here
In anticipation that these may get incorporated in the release by Juan.
4) unstable - branch & contribute your "being-tested" updates here
Unstable patches are not built by default.
The default search for updates is only 2 directories deep. In the unstable repository each contributed set of updates is published in a containing folder, and is 3 levels deep, escaping the standard search
"To apply a specific unstable update execute:"
InstallStreams updatesInstall: 'unstable/InstallStreams-testing'.
"To apply all unstable updates execute"
InstallStreams updatesInstall: 'unstable'.
Optional Kernel Innovations Development
=================================
InstallStreams providing optional kernel innovations may go in their own repositories, rather than release,stable, or unstable.
i.e. when you are ready to show the world...
# bzr push lp:~rodents/cuis/simple-namespaces
# bzr push lp:~rodents/cuis/pragmas
# bzr push lp:~rodents/cuis/nano-traits
# bzr push lp:~rodents/cuis/logging
Packages - Loadable with InstallStream
===============================
There is a separate project for sharing loadable packages.
In your working directory make a sub-directory for non-installed packages,
and checkout/branch your chosen packages there.
# mkdir packages
# cd packages
# bzr checkout lp:~rodents/cuis-packages/Installer
To manually load an individual package
InstallStream packagesInstall: 'packages/Installer'
To manually install all the packages you have checked out into ./packages
InstallStream packagesInstall: 'packages'
Generating the build
================
Juan's original release of Cuis2.0 does not appear to support the execution of a script on start up. So I have provided a modified image for you to begin with, this is called: (I should have called it 2.0.1-build or something less official looking, however if Juan doesn't mind, I will leave it as it is)
Cuis2.0.1.image
A simple script is provided in ./stable/build.sh which copies the ./base directory into your working directory giving you a known starting point, and then launches the image with ./stable/build.st. (on mac only for the moment)
A second simple script is provided in ./unstable/build.sh which launches the image with ./unstable/build.st.
enjoy
Keith
