[Gnu-arch-users] ANNOUNCEMENTS: untagged-source / update dists

[Tom Lord]

Two announcements are enclosed.

================ First announcement ================


Finally!

Available now in tla--devo--1.1 is support for the `untagged-source'
directive in `=tagging-method' files.

The docs will catch up eventually -- currently the output of `tla
tagging-defaults' has been updated.   But here's what it does:

By default, `explicit' tagging treats untagged files that pass the
naming conventions for source as `unrecognized' and this will, for
example, prevent a commit from happening.  Some users have argued that
simply ignoring such untagged files would make it easier to import
projects from non-arch sources and to use arch to manage projects that
build within the source tree.

Similarly, by default, `implicit' tagging treats untagged files that
pass the naming conventions for source as `source', giving them tags
similar to those they'd get usign `names' method.

The new `untagged-source' directive allows you to override those
defaults.   I suggest reading the comments in the output of `tla
tagging-defaults' for the full story, but here are some examples:

In your =tagging-method file:

        explicit
        untagged-source precious

will work like ordinary `explicit' method, except that source-named
files without tags are categorized as `precious'.   Consequently, you
can commit and those files will simply be ignored.

Or:

        implicit
        untagged-source unrecognized

will work like regular `implicit' mode, except that source-named files
without tags will be categorized as `unrecognized'.   Consequently,
the presence of such a file in a source tree will _prevent_ a commit.

I'd appreciate it some daring users interested in this feature please
try it out a bit before it appears in a a release.

Have fun.


================ Second announcement ================

Please note that the config definitions in dists--devo--1.0 have
changed to eliminate the `liblarch' project from tla source trees.  In
addition, there are recent changes to hackerlab and package-framework.
Thus, you will want to update more than just tla--devo--1.1 if you are
tracking my sources.  The simplest course may be just to build fresh
project trees.
