Git - maintain two branches for separate kernel26 packages?

Hi, I'm maintaining two kernel26 packages on the AUR (kernel26-ice and kernel26-rt-ice). I'm wondering whether git would be suitable for maintaining a repo for both packages.
kernel26-rt-ice is just derivative from kernel26-ice, but is currently very very left behind since the -rt patch devs haven't released since 2.6.33. This may or may not change in future, but the resulting difference between the PKGBUILDs increases my maintainance time.
Previously I just had a small script which copied the kernel26-ice files to another folder, some sed hackery to change names/configs etc. Now I'm wondering if I could set up git branches to do the same. My idea is as follows:-
1. Two branches named kernel26-ice and kernel26-rt-ice
2. Changes made in kernel26-ice (the more active one) can be cherry-picked into kernel26-rt-ice. This includes general cleaning up of PKGBUILD etc. but not the commits which involve updating variables etc.
Is this task suitable for git? Or should I just maintain separate trees and diff them every once in a while?

What is the benefit over manual trees/patches in this specific case? I understand primarily the source control benefit (using it myself for my thesis software development), but am unfamiliar on whether it would actually make my life easier maintaining both packages.
err there are so many things I could go into..
with git you will basically have no issues.
if you currently have no issues, don't switch. if you currently have one or more issues with your workflow, switch to git and those issues will be gone.

  • Maintaining two values for upper & lower specification for a MIC

    Hi gurus,
    My client requirement is that they want to maintain two values for upper specification and lower specification for a quantitative characteristic.
    For eg. Master inspection characteristic is carbon %
    & for this characteristic they want to maintain values as follows
    lower specification:0.00   upper specification:0.32
    lower specification:0.37   upper specification:0.60
    The requirement is that both these limits should be maintained for the same MIC and system should not allow values between 0.32-0.37
    Is this possible in standard scenario.If possible pls. provide me the solution.
    Thanks in advance.

    No, not possible in standard SAP.  A test can only have one set of limts.
    What you describe sounds more like specs anyway rather then test limits. 
    Your client isn't maintaining specs for materials in MIC's are they?  This would be the least desirable method and not really the way SAP designed it to be.

  • How to maintain two sets of separate auto numbered tables?

    Hi everyone,
    Here is what I'm trying to do with FrameMaker and find impossible to do:
    I have to maintain two sets of different tables each starts with number 1 inside the table. So I created two paragraph tags with 'Auto Number' checked and applied to the two different tables. But the result is not what I want: the number inside one table continues from the other one, instead of 1, 2, 3, 4, ... and 1, 2, 3, 4... It is 1, 2, 3, 4...
    Am I doing anything wrong here? Must be, for it doesn not work.
    Thanks for any help.

    You're not doing anything wrong, just perhaps missing some of the details. FM autonumbering is a joy to work with once you've got the hang of it, and/but different from most other approaches. (and by "different", I don't just mean flexible and reliable)
    Broadly speaking, I'd say you have two options:
    define two styles for the numbering you use inside tables, let's say TableNumberStart and TableNumberContinue. Define autonumbering so that TableNumberStart uses <n=1> and TableNumberContinue uses <n+1>
    This works because you've made the extra effort yourself.
    use one style – let's say TableAnchor – to anchor each table, and another style – let's say TableNumber – for the numbering you use inside tables. Define autonumbering so that TableAnchor uses < =0>, and TableNumber uses <n+1>.
    This works because you've asked FM to make the effort for you :-} TableAnchor resets the counter to zero, and TableNumber increments it as required. Note: in the definition < =0> the space before the equals sign is essential. It keeps the counter from displaying on the page.
    While you're experimenting, read up on Series labels – so you can manage separate numbering for, say, tables and figures. And on Building blocks – I was so impressed the first time I managed to use numbered heading styles to reset numbering in a list …

  • How to Maintain Two Countries for a Single Plant in OX10

    Hi Experts

    Sameer
    Edited by: Saxena Sameer on Oct 20, 2011 7:46 AM

    It is not possible and not logical to have one plant in 2 countries.
    And the 2 screens you talk about should actually have the same values, otherwise it is just inconsistent data.
    The first screen was all what SAP had for a plant address before central address management was implemented with 4.0 release.
    Since central address management is in use, you only need to define you address behind the envelope button and the necessary information is adopted to the first screen automatically.
    Knowing this background should make you aware that these 2 address screens are not designed to be maintianed for different purposes.

  • Can we maintain two values for one material a plant without split valuation

    Hello Guru's,
    We have a situation, we use MOVING AVERAGE PRICE in accounting view 1. Without split valuation.
    The actual issue is, we receive, damaged material from a customer with a "0" value, and we send the material as it is, to a vendor with a "0" value.
    The vendor, sends us back the repaired material with a value, say "10" (and this keeps changing).
    Is it possible, to have Non Valuated Stock and Valuated Stock within the same Plant, for Material "A".
    And it shouldn't affect the MAP. Also, we don't want to have Split Valuation.
    Please help.
    Kashi

    if i am getting your scenrio correctly then i will suggets u to maintian  the material master with moving avreage price control indicator then
    case1> gr from customer at o rs
    use the tcode mb1c and movement type 511
    as it is evaluated at MAP hence only material document genrated no accounting document
    well tried to realize your scenerio but it is not possible to do that
    as MAP is going to get effected as a result of valuated good recipet
    u need to go for separate material code then transfer good from non valuated to valuated one using tcode mb1b and movement type 309 or use split valuation

  • Maintaining multiple universes for separate environments

    I know this is a basic question, but are there guidelines on how to manage separate universes for different versions of the same physical database structure?  For example, what's a good way to manage universes for separate test environments where the table owner/qualifier is different for each environment (i.e. test1.tablename, test2.tablename, test3.tablename, prod.tablename).

    There are a couple of options that I will share with you.
    Option one is the least work on the BOBJ side and the most work on the DBA side. The DBA must create an account with access only to the required tables (or views). This means that account does not require the qualifier (test1.table_name) and instead can reference only by table_name. Now there is no issue when migrating from test1 to test2 to prod.
    Unfortunately, our DBA team didn't like that option. So I created a short VBA script, hosted in Excel, that we use to update our universe as we move it from one environment to another. We've been using it for years now, and it has been working fine. However, starting with BOBJ 4.0 they removed the option of VBA / SDK scripting from the universe, so I'm not sure what we're going to do when we get to that version.
    If you're interested in having a look at the script, I've posted it on my blog here:

    Hi ,
    As far i know it is not possible to have two different address for the same company code.As table can hold only single unique data.
    As far as the above answer is concerned, we use International version fo Customers not for Company Codes.
    Hope it helps.

  • HT1660 How can I maintain two separate itunes accounts on one single device without erasing either set of data?

    How can I maintain two separate itunes accounts on one single device (iPhone 4) without erasing either set of data when syncing with itunes?

    Hi,
    Depends on what you trying to setup but for purchases, you can roll down at the very end of the iTunes/AppStore pages to logout of your current account and then login into a different one.  Then your purchase will be billded to this new account.  Everything will sync as you used to but in order to use the purchased content in iTunes or other devices, you will need to authorize them (you can have up to 5 devices authorized for an account).

  • How to Maintain two different prices for same material in different qty?

    Dear all,
    How to maintain two different prices for same material in different batch quantities in purchase order(ie.,info record)?
    (Vendor is supplying quantities in 2 different batches & also in different prices)
    Expecting valuable reply.
    Jeyakanthan

    In a PO you can create 2 items, and each item can be maintained with a different price in the conditions.
    In info record it is not possible to have different prices for the same period, except for scales.
    so if you have a price of e.g. 2 USD for 1000 kg and 1,90 USD for 2000 kg then you can maintain this in scales, but you still have to have 2 items in the PO so that each one can individually find its price.
    Alternative you can create contracts (as well with more than one item) to reflect the different prices and batches.

  • Is it possible to maintain two class type for a material

    Dear All,
    Is it possible to maintain two different class type for a material.
    If a material assigned with the batch and the material is a part of variant configuration, then how to handle this scenario.
    For Batch Management, class type will be 023, for Variant Configuration class type will be 200.
    How to handle this scenario.
    Please explain.

    Edited by: MullaiRaja on Jan 5, 2011 5:19 AM

    Mr.Raja
    As far as my knowledge, it does NOT make sense to assign a material to more than one class type.
    We can assign many classes to  a single class type of  a material.
    For configurable material, create the material using material type : KMAT.
    & then, activate the 'batch management" control in the material master, for that material.
    Pls revert with feedback.
    Hope, that helps you.

  • Maintain two excemption certificate for a vendor

    Hi,
    How to maintain two excemption certificate for a vendor.
    I have a vendor, submitted lower TDS deduction certificate on april and again submitted another certificate in june with difference rate of TDS.
    how to configure.
    Regards
    Venkat

    One exemption per tax type-tax code combination can be maintained in the Vendor master.  So if your taxes are of different combinations, then it is possible.
    However, as per act, two exemptions are not available under the same section (For eg. you cant have two exemptions under section 196A).  But it is possible to have two certificates under different sections.  But even in this case, there are restrictions because at the end it is the income of the same Vendor.
    So, to answer your question, technically it is possible to have two exemptions, but as per law you are not permitted, unless the act specifically permits such a provision under some notification.

  • How to maintain two credit limits for the same customer.

    We have two lines of business for the same company code. One customer is trading in two lines of business.
    We want to maintain two credit limits for same customer. How is this possible.

    Hi,
    Credit Limits are assigned to customer master in a credit control area, so a customer can have different credit limits for the different credit control areas.
    (Please note that Credit Control Areas are normally assigned to company codes or sales area.)
    But if you are having only one credit control area, then only one credit limit can apply.
    However you can use the user exits to put any check you want for the customer. There are various user exits available for it like LVKMPTZZ,LVKMPFZ1,LVKMPFZ2 and LVKMPFZ3 in transaction SMOD

  • [yaourt] Keep sources/build files only for specific AUR packages

    Hi,
    By default, packages are build in BUILDDIR=/tmp/makepkg, which itself usually is a virtual dir in RAM. I generally like this behaviour, so I don't wanna change the BUILDDIR variable to point to a dir on the harddisk, but for a few packages I'd welcome the sources/build dir to be kept, e.g. for *-git packages to reduce build time on consecutive updates. Is there a neat Arch-way to tell the makepkg system to use a different dir (i.e., one on the harddisk) for specific packages? It'd be even greater to be able to use wildcards as well, so I could just enable this option for all *-git packages.
    And as I said, I generally like the idea of building in RAM so the trick to just let BUILDDIR point to a dir on my hdd and put a command in some shutdown-script to delete all but the directories ending in -git wouldn't be perfect
    Cheers
    Last edited by epinephrine (2013-01-27 16:25:17)

    Oh you're right in that BUILDDIR isn't set by default. I use yaourt for building AUR packages, so this is a yaourt related question, oops. I'll ask in the appropriate forum...
    Some packages are only available as git packages, and that for a good reason. Some git repository maintainers follow the good working principle to always have their master branch stable and deployable and do development and testing in respective branches to keep master clean. E.g. I maintain 2 git packages on the AUR, and there are no other "stable" options, also as git makes sense for these packages.
    And sometimes you just need a more up2date version

  • [SOLVED] Any guidelines for changing AUR package name?

    I have TTWM in the AUR, and I'm changing the name to Alopex.
    I can revise the PKGBUILD to change the name, and put ttwm-git in the "replaces" and/or "conflicts" array, but when I submit this to the AUR will there then be two AUR packages?
    There is no need for the ttwm-git package to remain in the aur as they will be identical - it's just a name change.  I don't want to needlessly clutter the AUR, so if there are any guidelines or best practices for renaming AUR packages, let me know.

  • Can we Maintain two Cost Center Hierarchies in one Controlling Area

    Dear All,
    My client established a 2nd plant and he wants seperate Cost Center Hierarchy, cost center groups and cost centers for that 2nd Plant. Can we maintain two cost center hierarchies in one controlling area.
    Please suggest me steps related to this configuration.
    Regards,
    Balaji Bhonsle

    Hi,
    Standard hierarchy is a tree structure containing all the cost centers in a controlling area from the Controlling standpoint. You can create a separate node assigned to Standard hierarchy for your new Plant. You can have only one Std.hierarchy. Alternative hierarchy for any reporting purpose is definitely an option.
    Hope this helps.
