Woof2 - Updating with Fossil

Notice

This tutorial assumes that you have already downloaded Woof2 according to Barry Kauler's instructions from here. It also assumes you are familiar with Woof and the variables used in the Woof program. If not, familiarise yourself with DISTRO_SPECS. This is where woof global variables are set.

Getting Started

Before you start you should do some preliminary preparation. You will likely have built a few distros and may want to save some files. NOTE that all generic woof files will be overwritten in the update. You need to back up at least DISTRO_SPECS, DISTRO_PKGS_SPECS-${DISTRO_BINARY_COMPAT}-${DISTRO_COMPAT_VERSION} and Packages-puppy-${DISTRO_FILE_PREFIX}-official if you have changed any of those.

Procedure

You should have a directory named woof-project which you created (or similar) from your original Woof2 download and installation. Inside that should be at least the directories local-repositories, woof2 (or similar), woof-out_(arch and compat version here) and the file woof2.fossil, perhaps more if you have set up like I am going to demonstrate. Throughout this tutorial I will be refering to the root Woof directory as "woof-project" and will assume the working directory you created for Woof is "woof2". If you have already updated you may have extra directories with a similar name to "woof2" (I use woof3, woof4 etc).

Step1

Download the Update

Open a terminal emulator inside woof-project as the root user.

Change directory to your working woof2

# cd woof2

Run the folowing:

# fossil update
You should receive similar to the following output if successful:

updated when X restarted after it is changed (user: BarryK) "fossil undo" is available to undo changes to the working checkout.

NB:
- This was a very large commit in the space of 2 weeks, your output may be a lot shorter, or a lot longer if you have not updated Woof in a long time.
- I have never tried the "fossil undo" feature.

Step 2

Apply the update

This is the point of no return. If you didn't backup your critical Woof working files do it now.

Change up a directory to your original woof-project.

# cd ..
Make a new working directory called woof3 or similar.

# mkdir woof3
Change directory to woof3.

# cd woof3
Run the following to update your working Woof tree:

# fossil open ../woof2.fossil

Woof2 is now updated to the latest.

Unpacking and setting up

This is a matter of running the merge2out script.
Please read the README-FIRST file inside of your newly created woof3 directory.
This explains how to run merge2out and what else to do. It may change from time to time so is not covered by this tutorial.

Enjoy Woofing!
