repo Manifest Format
====================
A repo manifest describes the structure of a repo client; that is
the directories that are visible and where they should be obtained
from with git.
The basic structure of a manifest is a bare Git repository holding
a single 'default.xml' XML file in the top level directory.
Manifests are inherently version controlled, since they are kept
within a Git repository. Updates to manifests are automatically
obtained by clients during `repo sync`.
XML File Format
---------------
A manifest XML file (e.g. 'default.xml') roughly conforms to the
following DTD:
<!DOCTYPE manifest [
<!ELEMENT manifest (notice?,
remote*,
default?,
manifest-server?,
remove-project*,
Support repo-level pre-upload hook and prep for future hooks. All repo-level hooks are expected to live in a single project at the top level of that project. The name of the hooks project is provided in the manifest.xml. The manifest also lists which hooks are enabled to make it obvious if a file somehow failed to sync down (or got deleted). Before running any hook, we will prompt the user to make sure that it is OK. A user can deny running the hook, allow once, or allow "forever" (until hooks change). This tries to keep with the git spirit of not automatically running anything on the user's computer that got synced down. Note that individual repo commands can add always options to avoid these prompts as they see fit (see below for the 'upload' options). When hooks are run, they are loaded into the current interpreter (the one running repo) and their main() function is run. This mechanism is used (instead of using subprocess) to make it easier to expand to a richer hook interface in the future. During loading, the interpreter's sys.path is updated to contain the directory containing the hooks so that hooks can be split into multiple files. The upload command has two options that control hook behavior: - no-verify=False, verify=False (DEFAULT): If stdout is a tty, can prompt about running upload hooks if needed. If user denies running hooks, the upload is cancelled. If stdout is not a tty and we would need to prompt about upload hooks, upload is cancelled. - no-verify=False, verify=True: Always run upload hooks with no prompt. - no-verify=True, verify=False: Never run upload hooks, but upload anyway (AKA bypass hooks). - no-verify=True, verify=True: Invalid Sample bit of manifest.xml code for enabling hooks (assumes you have a project named 'hooks' where hooks are stored): <repo-hooks in-project="hooks" enabled-list="pre-upload" /> Sample main() function in pre-upload.py in hooks directory: def main(project_list, **kwargs): print ('These projects will be uploaded: %s' % ', '.join(project_list)) print ('I am being a good boy and ignoring anything in kwargs\n' 'that I don\'t understand.') print 'I fail 50% of the time. How flaky.' if random.random() <= .5: raise Exception('Pre-upload hook failed. Have a nice day.') Change-Id: I5cefa2cd5865c72589263cf8e2f152a43c122f70

Add remote alias support in manifest The `alias` is an optional attribute in element `remote`. It can be used to override attibute `name` to be set as the remote name in each project's .git/config. Its value can be duplicated while attribute `name` has to be unique across the manifest file. This helps each project to be able to have same remote name which actually points to different remote url. It eases some automation scripts to be able to checkout/push to same remote name but actually different remote url, like: repo forall -c "git checkout -b work same_remote/work" repo forall -c "git push same_remote work:work" for example: The manifest with 'alias' will look like: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <manifest> <remote alias="same_alias" fetch="git://git.external1.org/" name="ext1" review="http://review.external1.org"/> <remote alias="same_alias" fetch="git://git.external2.org/" name="ext2" review="http://review.external2.org"/> <remote alias="same_alias" fetch="ssh://git.internal.com:29418" name="int" review="http://review.internal.com"/> <default remote="int" revision="int-branch" sync-j="2"/> <project name="path/to/project1" path="project1" remote="ext1"/> <project name="path/to/project2" path="project2" remote="ext2"/> <project name="path/to/project3" path="project3"/> ... </manifest> In each project, use command "git remote -v" project1: same_alias git://git.external1.org/project1 (fetch) same_alias git://git.external1.org/project1 (push) project2: same_alias git://git.external2.org/project2 (fetch) same_alias git://git.external2.org/project2 (push) project3: same_alias ssh://git.internal.com:29418/project3 (fetch) same_alias ssh://git.internal.com:29418/project3 (push) Change-Id: I2c48263097ff107f0c978f3e83966ae71d06cb90

Represent git-submodule as nested projects, take 2 (Previous submission of this change broke Android buildbot due to incorrect regular expression for parsing git-config output. During investigation, we also found that Android, which pulls Chromium, has a workaround for Chromium's submodules; its manifest includes Chromium's submodules. This new change, in addition to fixing the regex, also take this type of workarounds into consideration; it adds a new attribute that makes repo not fetch submodules unless submodules have a project element defined in the manifest, or this attribute is overridden by a parent project element or by the default element.) We need a representation of git-submodule in repo; otherwise repo will not sync submodules, and leave workspace in a broken state. Of course this will not be a problem if all projects are owned by the owner of the manifest file, who may simply choose not to use git-submodule in all projects. However, this is not possible in practice because manifest file owner is unlikely to own all upstream projects. As git submodules are simply git repositories, it is natural to treat them as plain repo projects that live inside a repo project. That is, we could use recursively declared projects to denote the is-submodule relation of git repositories. The behavior of repo remains the same to projects that do not have a sub-project within. As for parent projects, repo fetches them and their sub-projects as normal projects, and then checks out subprojects at the commit specified in parent's commit object. The sub-project is fetched at a path relative to parent project's working directory; so the path specified in manifest file should match that of .gitmodules file. If a submodule is not registered in repo manifest, repo will derive its properties from itself and its parent project, which might not always be correct. In such cases, the subproject is called a derived subproject. To a user, a sub-project is merely a git-submodule; so all tips of working with a git-submodule apply here, too. For example, you should not run `repo sync` in a parent repository if its submodule is dirty. Change-Id: I4b8344c1b9ccad2f58ad304573133e5d52e1faef

ManifestXml: add include support Having the ability to include other manifests is a very practical feature to ease the managment of manifest. It allows to divide a manifest into separate files, and create different environment depending on what we want to release You can have unlimited recursion of include, the manifest configs will simply be concatenated as if it was in a single file. command "repo manifest" will create a single manifest, and not recreate the manifest hierarchy for example: Our developement manifest will look like: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <manifest> <default revision="platform/android/main" remote="intel"/> <include name="server.xml"/> <!-- The Server configuration --> <include name="aosp.xml" /> <!-- All the AOSP projects --> <include name="bsp.xml" /> <!-- The BSP projects that we release in source form --> <include name="bsp-priv.xml" /> <!-- The source of the BSP projects we release in binary form --> </manifest> Our release manifest will look like: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <manifest> <default revision="platform/android/release-ext" remote="intel"/> <include name="server.xml"/> <!-- The Server configuration --> <include name="aosp.xml" /> <!-- All the AOSP projects --> <include name="bsp.xml" /> <!-- The BSP projects that we release in source form --> <include name="bsp-ext.xml" /> <!-- The PREBUILT version of the BSP projects we release in binary form --> </manifest> And it is also easy to create and maintain feature branch with a manifest that looks like: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <manifest> <default revision="feature_branch_foobar" remote="intel"/> <include name="server.xml"/> <!-- The Server configuration --> <include name="aosp.xml" /> <!-- All the AOSP projects --> <include name="bsp.xml" /> <!-- The BSP projects that we release in source form --> <include name="bsp-priv.xml" /> <!-- The source of the BSP projects we release in binary form --> </manifest> Signed-off-by: Brian Harring <brian.harring@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Pierre Tardy <pierre.tardy@intel.com> Change-Id: I833a30d303039e485888768e6b81561b7665e89d

A description of the elements and their attributes follows.
Element manifest
----------------
The root element of the file.
Element remote
--------------
One or more remote elements may be specified. Each remote element
specifies a Git URL shared by one or more projects and (optionally)
the Gerrit review server those projects upload changes through.
Attribute `name`: A short name unique to this manifest file. The
name specified here is used as the remote name in each project's
.git/config, and is therefore automatically available to commands
like `git fetch`, `git remote`, `git pull` and `git push`.
Add remote alias support in manifest The `alias` is an optional attribute in element `remote`. It can be used to override attibute `name` to be set as the remote name in each project's .git/config. Its value can be duplicated while attribute `name` has to be unique across the manifest file. This helps each project to be able to have same remote name which actually points to different remote url. It eases some automation scripts to be able to checkout/push to same remote name but actually different remote url, like: repo forall -c "git checkout -b work same_remote/work" repo forall -c "git push same_remote work:work" for example: The manifest with 'alias' will look like: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <manifest> <remote alias="same_alias" fetch="git://git.external1.org/" name="ext1" review="http://review.external1.org"/> <remote alias="same_alias" fetch="git://git.external2.org/" name="ext2" review="http://review.external2.org"/> <remote alias="same_alias" fetch="ssh://git.internal.com:29418" name="int" review="http://review.internal.com"/> <default remote="int" revision="int-branch" sync-j="2"/> <project name="path/to/project1" path="project1" remote="ext1"/> <project name="path/to/project2" path="project2" remote="ext2"/> <project name="path/to/project3" path="project3"/> ... </manifest> In each project, use command "git remote -v" project1: same_alias git://git.external1.org/project1 (fetch) same_alias git://git.external1.org/project1 (push) project2: same_alias git://git.external2.org/project2 (fetch) same_alias git://git.external2.org/project2 (push) project3: same_alias ssh://git.internal.com:29418/project3 (fetch) same_alias ssh://git.internal.com:29418/project3 (push) Change-Id: I2c48263097ff107f0c978f3e83966ae71d06cb90

Attribute `alias`: The alias, if specified, is used to override
`name` to be set as the remote name in each project's .git/config.
Its value can be duplicated while attribute `name` has to be unique
in the manifest file. This helps each project to be able to have
same remote name which actually points to different remote url.
Attribute `fetch`: The Git URL prefix for all projects which use
this remote. Each project's name is appended to this prefix to
form the actual URL used to clone the project.
Attribute `review`: Hostname of the Gerrit server where reviews
are uploaded to by `repo upload`. This attribute is optional;
if not specified then `repo upload` will not function.
Element default
---------------
At most one default element may be specified. Its remote and
revision attributes are used when a project element does not
specify its own remote or revision attribute.
Attribute `remote`: Name of a previously defined remote element.
Project elements lacking a remote attribute of their own will use
this remote.
Attribute `revision`: Name of a Git branch (e.g. `master` or
`refs/heads/master`). Project elements lacking their own
revision attribute will use this revision.
Attribute `sync_j`: Number of parallel jobs to use when synching.
Attribute `sync_c`: Set to true to only sync the given Git
branch (specified in the `revision` attribute) rather than the
whole ref space. Project elements lacking a sync_c element of
their own will use this value.
Attribute `sync_s`: Set to true to also sync sub-projects.
Element manifest-server
-----------------------
At most one manifest-server may be specified. The url attribute
is used to specify the URL of a manifest server, which is an
XML RPC service.
The manifest server should implement the following RPC methods:
GetApprovedManifest(branch, target)
Return a manifest in which each project is pegged to a known good revision
for the current branch and target.
The target to use is defined by environment variables TARGET_PRODUCT
and TARGET_BUILD_VARIANT. These variables are used to create a string
of the form $TARGET_PRODUCT-$TARGET_BUILD_VARIANT, e.g. passion-userdebug.
If one of those variables or both are not present, the program will call
GetApprovedManifest without the target parameter and the manifest server
should choose a reasonable default target.
GetManifest(tag)
Return a manifest in which each project is pegged to the revision at
the specified tag.
Element project
---------------
One or more project elements may be specified. Each element
describes a single Git repository to be cloned into the repo

If the project has a parent element, its path will be prefixed
by the parent's.
Attribute `remote`: Name of a previously defined remote element.
If not supplied the remote given by the default element is used.
Attribute `revision`: Name of the Git branch the manifest wants
to track for this project. Names can be relative to refs/heads
(e.g. just "master") or absolute (e.g. "refs/heads/master").
Tags and/or explicit SHA-1s should work in theory, but have not
been extensively tested. If not supplied the revision given by
the default element is used.
Attribute `groups`: List of groups to which this project belongs,
whitespace or comma separated. All projects belong to the group
"all", and each project automatically belongs to a group of
its name:`name` and path:`path`. E.g. for
<project name="monkeys" path="barrel-of"/>, that project
definition is implicitly in the following manifest groups:
default, name:monkeys, and path:barrel-of. If you place a project in the
group "notdefault", it will not be automatically downloaded by repo.
Represent git-submodule as nested projects, take 2 (Previous submission of this change broke Android buildbot due to incorrect regular expression for parsing git-config output. During investigation, we also found that Android, which pulls Chromium, has a workaround for Chromium's submodules; its manifest includes Chromium's submodules. This new change, in addition to fixing the regex, also take this type of workarounds into consideration; it adds a new attribute that makes repo not fetch submodules unless submodules have a project element defined in the manifest, or this attribute is overridden by a parent project element or by the default element.) We need a representation of git-submodule in repo; otherwise repo will not sync submodules, and leave workspace in a broken state. Of course this will not be a problem if all projects are owned by the owner of the manifest file, who may simply choose not to use git-submodule in all projects. However, this is not possible in practice because manifest file owner is unlikely to own all upstream projects. As git submodules are simply git repositories, it is natural to treat them as plain repo projects that live inside a repo project. That is, we could use recursively declared projects to denote the is-submodule relation of git repositories. The behavior of repo remains the same to projects that do not have a sub-project within. As for parent projects, repo fetches them and their sub-projects as normal projects, and then checks out subprojects at the commit specified in parent's commit object. The sub-project is fetched at a path relative to parent project's working directory; so the path specified in manifest file should match that of .gitmodules file. If a submodule is not registered in repo manifest, repo will derive its properties from itself and its parent project, which might not always be correct. In such cases, the subproject is called a derived subproject. To a user, a sub-project is merely a git-submodule; so all tips of working with a git-submodule apply here, too. For example, you should not run `repo sync` in a parent repository if its submodule is dirty. Change-Id: I4b8344c1b9ccad2f58ad304573133e5d52e1faef

If the project has a parent element, the `name` and `path` here
are the prefixed ones.
Attribute `sync_c`: Set to true to only sync the given Git
branch (specified in the `revision` attribute) rather than the
whole ref space.
Attribute `sync_s`: Set to true to also sync sub-projects.
Attribute `upstream`: Name of the Git branch in which a sha1
can be found. Used when syncing a revision locked manifest in
-c mode to avoid having to sync the entire ref space.
Attribute `clone-depth`: Set the depth to use when fetching this
project. If specified, this value will override any value given
to repo init with the --depth option on the command line.
Attribute `force-path`: Set to true to force this project to create the
local mirror repository according to its `path` attribute (if supplied)
rather than the `name` attribute. This attribute only applies to the
local mirrors syncing, it will be ignored when syncing the projects in a
client working directory.
Element annotation
------------------
Zero or more annotation elements may be specified as children of a
project element. Each element describes a name-value pair that will be
exported into each project's environment during a 'forall' command,
prefixed with REPO__. In addition, there is an optional attribute
"keep" which accepts the case insensitive values "true" (default) or
"false". This attribute determines whether or not the annotation will
be kept when exported with the manifest subcommand.
Element remove-project
----------------------
Deletes the named project from the internal manifest table, possibly
allowing a subsequent project element in the same manifest file to
replace the project with a different source.
This element is mostly useful in a local manifest file, where
the user can remove a project, and possibly replace it with their
own definition.
ManifestXml: add include support Having the ability to include other manifests is a very practical feature to ease the managment of manifest. It allows to divide a manifest into separate files, and create different environment depending on what we want to release You can have unlimited recursion of include, the manifest configs will simply be concatenated as if it was in a single file. command "repo manifest" will create a single manifest, and not recreate the manifest hierarchy for example: Our developement manifest will look like: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <manifest> <default revision="platform/android/main" remote="intel"/> <include name="server.xml"/> <!-- The Server configuration --> <include name="aosp.xml" /> <!-- All the AOSP projects --> <include name="bsp.xml" /> <!-- The BSP projects that we release in source form --> <include name="bsp-priv.xml" /> <!-- The source of the BSP projects we release in binary form --> </manifest> Our release manifest will look like: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <manifest> <default revision="platform/android/release-ext" remote="intel"/> <include name="server.xml"/> <!-- The Server configuration --> <include name="aosp.xml" /> <!-- All the AOSP projects --> <include name="bsp.xml" /> <!-- The BSP projects that we release in source form --> <include name="bsp-ext.xml" /> <!-- The PREBUILT version of the BSP projects we release in binary form --> </manifest> And it is also easy to create and maintain feature branch with a manifest that looks like: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <manifest> <default revision="feature_branch_foobar" remote="intel"/> <include name="server.xml"/> <!-- The Server configuration --> <include name="aosp.xml" /> <!-- All the AOSP projects --> <include name="bsp.xml" /> <!-- The BSP projects that we release in source form --> <include name="bsp-priv.xml" /> <!-- The source of the BSP projects we release in binary form --> </manifest> Signed-off-by: Brian Harring <brian.harring@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Pierre Tardy <pierre.tardy@intel.com> Change-Id: I833a30d303039e485888768e6b81561b7665e89d

Element include
---------------
This element provides the capability of including another manifest
file into the originating manifest. Normal rules apply for the
target manifest to include - it must be a usable manifest on its own.

Local Manifests
===============
Additional remotes and projects may be added through local manifest
files stored in `$TOP_DIR/.repo/local_manifests/*.xml`.
For example:
$ ls .repo/local_manifests
local_manifest.xml
another_local_manifest.xml
$ cat .repo/local_manifests/local_manifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<project path="manifest"
name="tools/manifest" />
<project path="platform-manifest"
name="platform/manifest" />
</manifest>
Users may add projects to the local manifest(s) prior to a `repo sync`
invocation, instructing repo to automatically download and manage
these extra projects.
Manifest files stored in `$TOP_DIR/.repo/local_manifests/*.xml` will
be loaded in alphabetical order.
Additional remotes and projects may also be added through a local
manifest, stored in `$TOP_DIR/.repo/local_manifest.xml`. This method
is deprecated in favor of using multiple manifest files as mentioned
above.
If `$TOP_DIR/.repo/local_manifest.xml` exists, it will be loaded before
any manifest files stored in `$TOP_DIR/.repo/local_manifests/*.xml`.
