Remember to have fun!
The tools in this repository can be used to
- create the *-kits to which your local infrastructure can push ebuilds,
- change their default branches en masse or individually,
- keep a fork up-to-date with upstream (e.g. in a cron job),
- and delete forks that are no longer needed.
Using these tools, you can create a Macaroni Linux
(https://github.com/macaroni-os) dev fork with public kits at Github that can
be used to sync any Macaroni Linux system. Once a feature is stable, it is
easy to upstream it with a kit-fixups mirror at Github.
You need a local infrastructure a la https://github.com/org-tekeli-borisp/ansible-funtoo. The repo container in the local infrastructure is referred to here as the library. This repository may not be very useful unless you have M.A.R.K. infrastructrue already prepared, so it’s a good idea to set that up first.
To use these tools: You need a Github account, and you need to set up
github-cli to a working state. You should be able to create and delete a
test repository in the location where you want to put your fork. The
interesting commands are described in gh repo --help.
The sources (kit-fixups, and the so-called "sourced kits" like
kde-kit-sources and friends) are not handled here. Currently, metatools
does not have an easy way to mirror those, other than kit-fixups. Your
local infrastructure already takes care of your mirror of upstream
kit-fixups. The tools in this repository manage your downstream fork.
