Has anyone ported git to the touch?

I think it is a WIP (Work In Progress) but can not say for certain.

root@kindle:/usr/local/src/git-1.7.10.4# ./configure --disable-jsmin --disable-cssmin --with-shell=/bin/sh --without-tcltk --prefix=/mnt/us/extensions/git/usr --with-gitconfig=/mnt/us/extensions/git/usr/etc/gitconfig --with-gitattributes=/mnt/us/extensions/git/usr/etc/gitattributes --with-sane-tool-path=/mnt/us/extensions/git/build/

I was envisioning the /mnt/us/extensions/git/build/ might have to be a mounted ext3 loop so I may have screwed up there.
perhaps it should have been: /mnt/base-us/extensions/git/build/ ??

lord only knows if that will work...
input would be nice...

I was thinking if we could store all kual button apps on github or something like that, then write a script that uses git to update all the user's extensions. Add a kual button to that, and we have ourself a pretty good looking update system.

[aditya3098]

Oh and, hold the ext3 images, this has got to be noob proof.

[aditya3098]

Maybe install as standard with kual.

Maybe we could write a java app store as well. And maybe have postinst scripts.

We already have a bitbucket repo for the buttons.
(Well, several of them for different parts of the user addins.)

No update and/or distribution mechanism (yet).
Are you volunteering?

[root@kindle root]# /mnt/us/extensions/git/usr/bin/git

usage: git [--version] [--exec-path[=<path>]] [--html-path] [--man-path] [--info-path]
[-p|--paginate|--no-pager] [--no-replace-objects] [--bare]
[--git-dir=<path>] [--work-tree=<path>] [--namespace=<name>]
[-c name=value] [--help]
<command> [<args>]

maybe?

I'll try to use it

[twobob]

um maybe I should haven't built all the docs...

222MB zipped up HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Thought the touch was running a bit slow...

Let me try to clean this mess up

[twobob]

Nah. it's what I said before.
The symlinks have all been unrolled to 100 copies of the 4.6 MB git file.

So. As mentioned above... will think about some clever - dumbwit-resistant - loop solution. Thinking....

[aditya3098]

222 MB. Bring on the loopfiles!!!. We could have a script that mounts it, then recursively git pull the latest stuff. Should be within about a 100 lines of bash. Maybe could use your osd stuff. Then umounts it.

#/bin/sh

cd /mnt/us/extensions
function notifyUser(){
	#TODO
}
function mountGit() {
	mkdir -p /mnt/us/extensions/mountpoint-git
	mount -o loop $GIT_LOOP /mnt/us/extensions/mountpoint-git
	notifyUser "Mount success..."
}
function umountGit(){
	umount $GIT_LOOP
	notifyUser "Unmount success"
}
function updateExtensions() {
	for ext in ./*
	do
		cd "${ext}"
		/mnt/us/extensions/mountpoint-git/bin/git pull
		notifyUser "Successfully got ${ext} from git"
	done
}
mountGit
updateExtensions
umountGit

Stuff like that

Thanks!
Great offer.

But the first call on our free, hobby time, may be the Kpw2 next week.

[twobob]

okay. done it.

some sacrifices were made. have to type git add rather than git-add

live with it.

[root@kindle GIT]# alias \ git='LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/mnt/us/extensions/git/usr/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH /mnt/us/extensions/git/usr/bin/git'

[root@kindle GIT]# mkdir /mnt/us/GIT; cd /mnt/us/GIT;

[root@kindle GIT]# git clone https://github.com/bfabiszewski/kterm kterm-on-FAT

Nice

I'm no git expert.. so yeah. I /think/ it works.


Oh I managed to get it down to like 15ish Mb
