FreshPorts currently works off email. Receive a commit email, parse that email, do some database work. The subversion revision number is contained in the email. That makes it easy for the code to do: svn up -r X make -V FYI: FreshPorts stores all commits, just not the ports tree. They're all in there. The technical work of converting a git log message into a FreshPorts database entry is done: That works. re: https://news.freshports.org/category/development/git/ The biggest remaining issue: what method should FreshPorts use to start working on a new commit? What process replaces the incoming svn commit email? At present, there is no email for the git commits (re https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo). It's only the svn commits. I see these choices: 1- continue to process based upon incoming email, but use that only as the reason to wake up and check git for new commits. I don't know how commits arriving in svn relate to commits arriving in git - will they be there? 2 - repeatedly run 'git fetch origin' to check for new commits We won't miss a thing - but that's rather DDosS-ish. 3 - a commit hook. The git repo hits up a FreshPorts url on each commit. Insights welcomed. — Dan Langille http://langille.org/help
