[Buildroot] [PATCH 0/3] Random updates

[Felipe Contreras]

Hi,

Here's a bunch of updates. The first one can be consiered a fix, the second one
is convenient, and the third one makes more proper usage of .gitignore.

Cheers.

Felipe Contreras (3):
  gst-dsp: add dependency to pkg-config
  gst-plugins-base: add option to select 'alsa'
  .gitignore: remove wrong entries

[Buildroot] [PATCH 2/3] gst-plugins-base: add option to select 'alsa'

[Felipe Contreras]

It's nice to go straight to GStreamer, and enable all the plug-in
elements without having to go back through the menus to select the
dependencies.

[Felipe Contreras]

These should go into a personal file, like:
core.excludesfile=/home/felipec/.gitignore
  .*.sw[nop]

Some people might prefer to see patches, rejects and other files in the
output of 'git status' (e.g. me).

 Keep the config options ordered alphabetically, so put it before OGG.

 Also, if the option exists, it should be used in the mk-file.  So add:

ifeq ($(BR2_PACKAGE_GST_PLUGINS_BASE_PLUGIN_ALSA),y)
GST_PLUGINS_BASE_CONF_OPT += --enable-alsa
else
GST_PLUGINS_BASE_CONF_OPT += --disable-alsa
endif

(again alphabetically).

 Arnout

 Agreed on most parts, except for the /*.patch.  It was added because git
format-patch creates them.  If they are not ignored, than git add -A won't
work properly anymore.

 While we're talking about gitignore: I have two more things I'd like to
add to it:

/output* (because I often use parallel output dirs within the buildroot
directory, as it gives me access to git).

/defconfig (since it's a generated file).

 What do the others think?

Indeed, people expect to be able to disable that option and not have the
alsa plugin built.

Well, I usually do 'git status' to see remnants I would like to
remove, including *.patch.

I wonder why you would want to store those patches in the directory.
You could specify a specific output directory. Moreover, 'git
send-email' can generate the patches and send them at the same time...
So you don't need to call 'git format-patch' directly.

I agree on those above. And actually, I removed *.o by mistake... I
think they should be there.

You can have personal per-project ignore files as well.

*.o and *.depend should be there, as they are the output of the build system.

*.orig and *.reject and *~ should not, as they depend on the tools.

I suspect *~ comes from vim backups, which many people have disabled,
and many people don't even use vi. Say, I have configured my editor to
save backups with *.bak, should that be on the list? No, that's
_personal_. If you want *~, or *.bak, to be ignored, you can put that
in your global gitignore.

*.orig and *.reject are also not particular to busybox, they can be on
the global gitignore. And some people, like me, want to be able to see
then when typing 'git status'. So this is a _personal_ choice.

Cheers.

 No they're not.  Maybe in a far and distant past, but now (almost) all
output is in the output directory.

It's difficult to quantify 'many' here. I can just as safely say that
many people do use vi and many people have not disabled ~ backups.

I'm sure you mean buildroot here.

If you are to remove all these entries from the .gitignore file, you
are basically forcing people to create such a personal .gitignore
file. The defaults of the buildroot project are no longer sane.

To be honest, I'm not sure if your use case of seeing all files with
plain 'git status' is a common one, and thus whether it's worth
changing the experience for all other people just for that. In my
opinion, the default should be ok for most people.
Doesn't git provide an option to git-status to see ignored files? I
know Mercurial does. One could argue that it'd be better to submit a
patch to git for such an option.
Alternatively, you are free the gitignore file on a branch in your repository.

Note that this is just my view on this. I have no authority whatsoever.
I'm looking forward to input from other developers...

Best regards,
Thomas

It doesn't matter, what matters is that they are *personal*.

No, they don't have to.

You would be hacking .gitignore for something it wasn't meant to be then:

man gitignore
---
Which file to place a pattern in depends on how the pattern is meant
to be used. Patterns which should be version-controlled and
distributed to other repositories via clone (i.e., files that all
developers will want to ignore) should go into a .gitignore file.
---

Notice the phrase *all developers*.

---
Patterns which are specific to a particular repository but which do
not need to be shared with other related repositories (e.g., auxiliary
files that live inside the repository but are specific to one user's
workflow) should go into the $GIT_DIR/info/exclude file. Patterns
which a user wants git to ignore in all situations (e.g., backup or
temporary files generated by the user's editor of choice) generally go
into a file specified by core.excludesfile in the user's ~/.gitconfig.
---

Notice the phrase *user's*.

If you contribute to more than one project, you should not be pushing
for all those projects to have *~ in the project's .gitignore, or
*.patch, which will affect other users. You should just add it to your
global gitignore file and be done with it.

Cheers.
