New Git v2.0.4 build to test

New Git v2.0.4 build to test

[Adam Dinwoodie]

Hi all,

I'm in the long-running process of producing an up-to-date build of Git
for Cygwin.  I think I'm now (finally) close to having a build ready to
upload to be installed via the Cygwin setup programs, but in the
meantime I'd appreciate my new build getting some additional testing.

You can download my latest build of Git v2.0.4 at
http://tastycake.net/~adam/cygwin/.

To install, download the package(s) you're interested in using, and
unpack them using `tar -xaC/ -f <tarball-name>` from a Cygwin shell.
Make sure to check the corresponding setup.hint files to ensure you have
all the required dependencies first.

This build isn't final, but it does work in at least the mainline use
cases; I've been using it for a couple of days for my day-to-day work.
However there are still some problems I'm aware of (no `git grep -P`
support, `git fetch` occasionally hangs in the test suites in 64-bit)
and there are probably some problems I haven't identified yet.

I'm currently in the process of working through the Git test suite
output to identify missing features, since it's the best way I've found
to identify features the Git compile process has quietly skipped since a
required library wasn't installed.  Once that's done, and any remaining
problems are ironed out (or at least identified and I've decided it's
safe to ignore them), I'll hopefully be good to upload the builds for
general consumption.

If anyone's really interested in following my progress at home, or
building for themselves based of my latest code, you can follow along at
my GitHub repository at https://github.com/me-and/Cygwin-Git.

Sounds like libpcre-devel is missing on your machine.

If the git build system uses autotools, you might have an easier time by
scanning the config.log file created during the configure call.

It does, I have been using git 2.x since the last 2 months. And yes,
PCRE is an optional requirement.

Agreed.  I've just spent a while playing whack-a-mole with problems of
this ilk and thought I'd try seeing if there where any willing
volunteers to do some live testing to spot problems the test suites miss
before I offer my builds to the unsuspecting public.

It does, and doing that trawl picked up a number of missing libraries.
Nonetheless looking through the tests that are being skipped due to
missing dependencies is highlighting a few things like this that I
managed to miss when looking at the configure output.

Hi Adam,

I tried your git with repo.
RS-I9E3U8R4:[~/repo/test]> repo --version

When I tried to initialize the repo, I got some error:

Do you have any idea?

Not really.  I don't even know what "repo" is, for a start, let alone
how it interacts with Git and/or Cygwin.  It looks like a third-party
tool, but that's all I can tell.

If you can tell me what the values of `src` and `dst` are when you hit
that error, that could give me a pointer as to what's going on.  Maybe
repo has a debugging mode; if not you'll probably be able to just edit
`project.py` to add some extra logging.

I take it this previously worked with the version of Git you got from
the regular Cygwin installers?  Did you uninstall those before you
installed my builds?

My initial suspicion is that this is either a difference between Git
v1.7.9 and v2.0.4 -- there're a lot of differences between those two
versions -- or possibly a missing package since my build is based off
Yaakov's Cygwin Ports version, which split out git-cvs, git-debuginfo,
git-email and gitweb.

"repo" is a tool from Google to manage the source of Android.

I suspect that this problem is with the symlink handling of Cygwin, not 
git itself.

How so?  Care to elaborate?

I've been using this for about a week now and have not hit upon any snags so
far.
