Customizepkg for git repos (or svn,csv,...)

Can anyone point me to a recipe for customizepkg that does the following?
I have a couple of aur packages installed which are based on git repos.  Every time I do a sync, the entire repo is cloned to a directory under /tmp, then compiled and installed.
I'd prefer to keep a copy of the git repo on my HD. Then, every time I do a sync, that repo gets updated with a git pull, then configed, made, etc. and installed.
The difference is that just the deltas get pulled rather than the entire git repo being cloned.
TIA.

  • Tagurit - a git repo watcher for new tags

    https://github.com/gostrc/tagurit
    The README.md file has everything to get started so I wont copy and paste it here.
    As a package maintainer, I use a program to watch websites for changes to check for new versions.
    Sometimes watching only the git repo for new tags is sufficient and is better in some ways. (no need to filter output, uses less bandwidth, less false positives)
    I couldn't find a tool that did it, so I wrote my own.
    Reply with any comments or suggestions you might have.
    Thanks to falconindy for coming up with the name.
    Cheers & have a happy new year!
    Edit:
    removed the tagurit package from the aur, and now made it available as a gem, please see README.md for more info.
    Edit:
    added svn and hg support

    Hi tarlinian,
    When use git command to push a local git repository to remote Git team project in Visual Stduio Online, you might need to list your existing remote alias for your repository after setting alternative credential. Please check this
    blog for more information about pushing a local git repository to remote in Visual Stduio Online.
    You can also refer to Amor and Trevor's replies in this
    thread for more information about how Git works with Visual Studio Online. If your issue still exist, please elaborate more details about your scenario.

  • Preference for git over other distributed version control?

    Out of curiosity, and not to start a flamewar or anything...but, why does it seem like most Archers have an preference for git over other distributed version control software choices?  I tend to like Mercurial, as it was an easy transition from using SVN for so long, but reading the mailing lists, it looks like most of the Arch project development is moving toward git.  Is there something I don't know?

    elasticdog wrote:Would you say you like it more than Mercurial, or just now that you've been forced in to using it, it's not bad after the learning curve?  Which one do you use for personal projects?
    I do prefer git, after using mercurial for a quite a while.
    - Git is fast (very fast).
    - The format patch and other random porcelain are great.
    - The syntax and UI is a bit unruly, but once you get the hang of it, it's not a big deal.
    - Once very awesome thing for me is the ability to do localized in-repo branching, just checkout a local branch, and your tree changes to that branch. Do stuff, commit, whatever. Then checkout your other branch, and bam. You can diff and merge between local branches, create new ones, throw ones away, etc.. all within the same tree (no need for external clones).
    - The quick and easy rebase functionality is great too.
    I guess I would say git is powerful, but certainly arcane.
    I think mercurial got named branches a little while ago, so I haven't used them. I *think* they are similar to git branches, but I don't know for sure. The little I have read about them make them seem a bit funky.
    I prefer git, but mercurial is a fine choice too.
    I would say that pretty much everything out there besides these two sucks.

  • Can't add remote git repos using Xcode/OS X Server

    Hi everyone,
    I recently installed OS X Server on my personal machine and attempting to host some git repos. 
    When I try to create a new project & remote repo with Xcode I get an error -
        Could not connect to the remote repository because the server was unreachable.
    If I attempt to configure it again after the project has been created I get this error -
        Cannot create hosted Git repositories at path because path already exists: /Library/Developer/XcodeServer/HostedRepositories/EmptyApp
    Looking at the server - I can see the repos were actually created, but for some reason I can't connect/push to them. The HTTPS/SSH access are enabled.
    Is something not configured correctly or any way to get at a more detailed error? 

    Using the CF + Tomcat Bundle is working for me, including RDS. The only thing I can't set up is the web root, glad I can use localhost, but i tried to set up my sites folder, but could not set up the url, so it does not work.

    No, that was my fault. I updated my release scripts yesterday and the new ones did not create the database signature symlink. I just fixed it about 10 minutes ago.
    Change the SigLevel back to Required, otherwise Pacman will not verify the databases. Everything should be working again.
    Cheers, upgrading is back to normal (good work on the repo btw)

  • Libgit2 Error - Trying to checkout/clone a git repository with Visual Studio Tools for Git

    I'm trying to clone a branch from our git repository using Visual Studio Tools for Git. I'm doing the following:
    1. We have a local server that stores all our repositories and they are tracked using GIT+Stash
    2. I create a subbranch B1 from master in repository X using stash
    3. Stash will give me a URL in the form http://user@stash:7990/src/x/repository.git
    4. I go to Visual Studio (where I already installed Visual Studio Tools for Git) and follow the instructions to clone this branch to my local machine using the procedure as described in: Open and Clone a Git team project http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh850445.aspx#remote_3rd_party_connect_clone
    5. Visual studio shows the following error: An error occurred. Detailed message: An error was raised by libgit2. Category = Zlib (Error).
    Failed to inflate packfile
    What is libgit2? Is there anything I should change in my settings or paths? The only workaround I have found for this issue is to clone my branch through Source Tree (third party tool) and then open visual studio, then any other functionality will be fine
    (e.g. commits, push, sync, pull etc, all this I can do directly from Visual Studio)... but why can't I clone from Visual Studio?
    Notes:
    - We're not using TFS (i.e. we only use Git and I'm effectively trying to do the step found in this URL: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh850445.aspx#remote_3rd_party_connect_clone)
    - We use Atlassian Stash (installed in our servers) to create the repositories and branches
    - I'm using Visual Studio 2012

    You can see how to deal with git in the PKGBUILD.
    Another way is to instal binary package from an unofficial user repository. archaudio-preview has csound 5.14.2-1.

  • Help with script for "Import AD users from CSV with checks first"

    Hi everyone.
    Can anyone tell me if i am on the right track here?
    I want to be able to provide a CSV with users and import into a new AD domain/forest. But i know there already are some AD accounts so i need to run some checks. For now i am checking only on Name and Email.
    The issue i have is is with "write-host "$UserFullName was not found. Creating user.". It outputs this 19 times which is the same amount of times as there are users in AD in this OU.
    Not sure if my method is right. 
    $allImportedUsers=@()
    $allUsersArray=@()
    $searchbase="OU=PL,DC=EUECS,DC=CORP,DC=ARROW,DC=COM"
    $path = "OU=Users,OU=PL,DC=EUECS,DC=CORP,DC=ARROW,DC=COM"
    $allImportedUsers = Import-CSV polandusers_edited.csv
    $allUsersArray = Get-ADObject -LDAPFilter "objectClass=User" -SearchBase $searchbase -Properties * | select *
    $allImportedUsers | ForEach-Object {
    $Firstname = $_.givenname
    $Lastname = $_.surname
    $UserMail = $_.EmailAddress
    $UserFullName = $Firstname+" "+$Lastname
    $importUserSAM = $_.Samaccountname
    $allUsersArray | ForEach-Object {
    $currUserFirstname = $_.givenName
    $currUserLastname = $_.sn
    $currUserMail = $_.mail
    $currUserFullName = $_.name
    $currUserSAM = $_.samaccountname
    $currUserDN = $_.DistinguishedName
    if($currUserFullName -eq $UserFullName) {
    write-host "CSV $UserFullName matched on name"
    $userMatched=1
    if($currUserMail -eq $UserMail -AND $userMatched -ne 1) {
    write-host "CSV $UserFullName matched on email"
    $userMatched=1
    if($userMatched -ne 1) {
    write-host "$UserFullName was not found. Creating user."
    $userMatched=0
    If only i had a cool signature!! ;)

    Move below to outside the inner for-each loop:
    if($userMatched -ne 1) {
    write-host "$UserFullName was not found. Creating user."
    $userMatched=0
    so the bottom should look like
    }if($userMatched -ne 1) {
    write-host "$UserFullName was not found. Creating user."
    $userMatched=0

                    for (int i = (s.length - 1); i >= 0; i--)
                        if (s.length() > 0) // check if there is data in the column
    System.out.print(s[i] + " ");
    System.out.println();
    Next time please paste your code between code tags exactly like this:
    &#91;code&#93;
    your code
    &#91;/code&#93;

  • Best data Structor for dealing with very large CSV files

    hi im writeing an object that stores data from a very large CSV file. The idea been that you initlize the object with the CSV file, then it has lots of methods to make manipulating and working with the CSV file simpler. Operations like copy colum, eliminate rows, perform some equations on all values in a certain colum, etc. Also a method for prining back to a file.
    however the CSV files will probly be in the 10mb range maby larger so simply loading into an array isn't posable. as it produces a outofmemory error.
    does anyone have a data structor they could recomend that can store the large amounts of data require and are easly writeable. i've currently been useing a randomaccessfile but it is aquard to write to as well as needing an external file which would need to been cleaned up after the object is removed (something very hard to guarentee occurs).
    any suggestions would be greatly apprechiated.

    How much internal storage ("RAM") is in the computer where your program should run? I think I have 640 Mb in mine, and I can't believe loading 10 Mb of data would be prohibitive, not even if the size doubles when the data comes into Java variables.
    If the data size turns out to be prohibitive of loading into memory, how about a relational database?
    Another thing you may want to consider is more object-oriented (in the sense of domain-oriented) analysis and design. If the data is concerned with real-life things (persons, projects, monsters, whatever), row and column operations may be fine for now, but future requirements could easily make you prefer something else (for example, a requirement to sort projects by budget or monsters by proximity to the hero).

  • Best Practise for loading data into BW CSV vs XML ?

    Hi Everyone,
    I would like to get some of your thoughts on what file format would be best or most efficient to push data into BW. CSV or XML ?
    Also what are the advantages / Disadvantages?
    Appreciate your thoughts.

    XML is used only for small data fields - more like it is easier to do it by XML rather than build an application for the same - provided the usage is less.
    Flat files are used for HUGE data loads ( non SAP ) and definitely the choice of data formats would be flat files.
    Also XML files are transformed into a flat file type format with each tag referring to the field and the size of the XML file grows to a high value depending on the number of fields.

  • Script to enable WOL for list of computers in CSV format

    We are looking to enable Wake On LAN in our environment of 30,000+ workstations. I have been successful in getting the workstation to wake up, but I had to manually a) change the BIOS setting to enable WOL and b) change the Adapter setting enabling
    power management and WOL in Windows.
    We will be piloting this to 250 or so workstations, to see the functionality of getting WOL to work (for software updates in the middle of the night). However, we don't want to have to "touch" each and every one of them. Thus, I'm looking to create
    a VBS script to enable WOL and having it reference a CSV file that contains a list of workstation names.
    Any help would be great!
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    If you have Dell machines, you can use their CCTK to adjust the BIOS settings:
