• Renaming HEAD git branches

    From Guillem Jover@21:1/5 to All on Sat Mar 20 02:50:02 2021
    Hi!

    I'll start renaming the HEAD git branches to main for all dpkg.org git
    repos. The dpkg one I'll defer until I've released 1.20.8 and opened
    HEAD for 1.21.x.

    The rationale is that, while I'm far removed from a direct environment
    where the current name could be interpreted as offensive or triggering, language defines our thought and society. It's an easy gesture to do
    when this can affect other people. The provenance of the current name
    is not great either. And the new name is shorter, more descriptive,
    various hosting sites are already defaulting to it, and newer git
    releases will default to it soonish.

    To update your work directories you can do something like the
    following once the main branch appears:

    ,---
    git fetch origin
    git remote set-head origin main
    git remote prune origin
    git branch -u origin/main
    git branch -m main
    git remote -v
    git branch -a
    `---

    Thanks,
    Guillem

    It seems like you pushed into master (revivifying it) instead of main.
    I've removed the master branch again and added a check in a hook to
    avoid this in the future, should have done that initially. :) But no
    worries, really. I've also queued the commit you pushed into the update
    I'm preparing, but feel free to push it yourself in case you've got
    other queued work that you want to push. Otherwise I'll try to push it
    during the weekend or so.

    Thanks,
    Guillem

    Sorry. I usually try to use the right branch. To make sure I don't
    make further mistakes:

    I currently see (with "git branch"):
    1.16.x
    1.17.x
    1.18.x
    1.19.x
    backup-1.19.x
    fehler
    lenny
    * master
    sid
    squeeze
    stable

    So I would issue
    git branch -r origin/main main
    git checkout main

    And would work on this one, correct?
    (Would it be possible to delete the master branch locally as well, so
    that I could not even switch to this? - sorry for my limited git
    knowledge and thanks).

    Also which branch will be for future bullseye backports versions?

    I've removed the master branch again and added a check in a hook to

    Thanks.

    Actually the very same submitter has sent me quite a few further
    potential fixes I was going to review and commit over the weekend. But
    I can hold this off as long as it is necessary for you to prepare.

    Greetings

    I integrated them now, I hope this time correctly.

    Btw. I saw the following in git log:
    While we do not generate this file at build time, but dpkg(1) does parse
    it for its --verify command, and generates it if missing from the binary
    package on unpack.

    Does this page appear in the po(t) file? How is it translated?

    Hi!

    [ Sorry, it seems I never followed up. I think you figured it all out,
    but in any case. ]

    So I would issue

    git checkout main

    I used "git switch main". I hope this works.

    That would switch to another branch, you might still want to see
    whether you have some pending commits in your local master branch, and
    once you've cherry-pick'ed them you can remove the branch with:

    git branch -D master

    (watch out the -D is destructive and will force the removal even if
    there is a delta.)

    And would work on this one, correct?
    (Would it be possible to delete the master branch locally as well, so

    Indeed.

    Right, sorry I queued them but they sat locally for too long.

    Btw. I saw the following in git log:

    it for its --verify command, and generates it if missing from the binary

    Hmm, sorry the commit message was not very clear. I was referring to
    the md5sums file shipped in a .deb here, the man page is translated
    and generated as usual. So this should be fine.

    Thanks,
    Guillem
