There is a repository for maintenance of [[/glibc]] for the Hurd's needs:
<http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hurd/glibc.git/>. It's mainly used for
testing glibc's master branch, but with all the patches that we need on top of
it, and also for development and sharing of (Hurd-specific) glibc patches.
This repository uses [[TopGit]].
History: *A plan for the Hurd-specific glibc repository*, [[!message-id
"878wbp81ed.fsf@dirichlet.schwinge.homeip.net"]].
# Relation to Debian glibc
For a lot of topic branches there is a correspondence to a Debian glibc patch,
and vice-versa, which is also indicated by the Debian glibc patch files' names.
Debian glibc is based on EGLIBC 2.13 and the Savannah hurd/glibc.git one is
tracking sourceware master.
The Savannah hurd/glibc.git one does not/not yet include
[[libpthread|service_solahart_jakarta_selatan__082122541663/libpthread]], [[service_solahart_jakarta_selatan__082122541663/packaging_libpthread]].
# Usage
## Clone
$ git init
$ git remote add savannah git://git.sv.gnu.org/hurd/glibc.git
$ git remote update
$ tg remote --populate savannah
tg: Remote savannah can now follow TopGit topic branches.
tg: Populating local topic branches from remote 'savannah'...

<braunr> is it ok to store several patches in one topgit branch ?
<braunr> or is it really designed for one patch per branch ?
<braunr> fatal: ambiguous argument 'origin/youpi/tls-threadvar': unknown
revision or path not in the working tree.
<braunr> tschwinge: ^
<braunr> tschwinge: does that ring a bell ?
<tschwinge> braunr: When/how did that happen?
<tschwinge> Has the branch been removed from the origin remote?
<tschwinge> Yes, has been deleted (on Savannah) on 2013-09-22.
<tschwinge> Are you somehow referencing that branch?
<braunr> tschwinge: tg remote --populate origin
<tschwinge> braunr: Then I'd guess that Samuel has removed that branch but
it is still referenced in some other branch's .topdeps file. I'll have a
look (but don't hold your breath.)
<braunr> tschwinge: sure
