This plugin allows users to monitor git-repo manifests in manifest repositories and generate rev-specific manifests (similar to “repo manifest -o”) and store them to a separate git repository (configurable.)

Warning: this plugin is currently under development and is targeting 2.9.1

The rev-specific manifest of each source manifest is stored in its own branch with the following naming convention: m/<source manifest branch>/<source manifest path>

The name of the rev-specific manifest is default.xml

For example, if the source manifests are branch: master file: default.xml file: dev.xml file: upstream-mirror.xml

There will be three branches in the destination repository with these names: m/master/default.xml m/master/dev.xml m/master/upstream-mirror.xml

If a tag is placed at the start of one of these branches, “git describe” can be used to provide system-level version metadata. One can also use “git bisect” on the branches to identify system-level regression.

  • Enabled by project.config in the manifest project to be monitored
  • Manifest class is generated from ‘repo help manifest’ DTD using JAXB
  • <include>s are expanded similar to “repo manifest -o” (only works for manifests in the same source manifest repository reference by relative path)
  • Supports <remove-project>
  • Circular update loop is prevented by not monitoring any of the rev-specific manifest repositories
  • Projects in the manifests are assumed to be on the server. (There is no check currently so it's a potential source of error.)

  • TODO: monitor all manifest branch if no branch is specified

  • TODO: ssh command to check what is being monitored

  • TODO: stright mode, only monitor projects using default (no remote)

  • TODO: split mode (store all manifests in same branch strcuture as source instead of flattening the underlying file strcuture)

  • TODO: not monitor non-local projects

  • TODO: make sure no circular dependencies (project with manifest subscription is not in the manifest being monitored.)

  • resolve relative path in include

  • supports include tag in manifest
