Rules-ng

Mission: To design a better format for rules.xml: RulesNG

Everything can be found in the CVS.

Status

The database specifications seem to have stabilized so far. Serious use of Rules-ng is starting as of May-June 2007.

Translators written in Python exist for generating a C header file for use in drivers, and for converting the database into static C structures for inclusion in tools, e.g., mmio-parse.

An Example

The database in XML: test.xml
Generated static C code: test.c
Generated C header: test.h

Git 1.5

If you have repositories created or cloned with earlier git version than 1.5, these instructions may not apply.

Setting up DRM for pushing

The mesa/drm tree has lots and lots of branches, tracking them all is a bit useless, so I used this recipe found in man git-remote: 

$ mkdir drm.git
$ cd drm.git
$ git-init
$ git-remote add -f -t master -m master origin ssh://git.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/drm
$ git merge origin

This will get me the origin/master branch and nothing else. I can later add new branches to be tracked by e.g. 

$ git-config --add remote.origin.fetch +refs/heads/modesetting-101:refs/remotes/origin/modesetting-101
$ git-fetch origin

Now I can check the tracked branches with git-branch -r and config settings with git-config -l. To be warm and fuzzy (make sure where my git-push goes) I do 

$ git-config --add remote.origin.push master:master

which probably is some kind of default, but does not hurt to define it anyway. I am going to push my master branch, so I must remember to do my development in other branches

To keep those nasty trailing whitespaces from my commits, I should remember to activate .git/hooks/pre-commit script by making it executable.

And remember, do not use git-pull when git-fetch && git-rebase origin can do the job. Spurious merge commits are annoying.
