Currently the Ubuntu builds are stuck waiting for an answer on what
timezone to use. That could be fixed, but generally the way to do these
types of installs is to set the DEBIAN_FRONTEND environment variable to
`noninteractive` so that debconf just chooses a default. This is what
debootstrap does, for instance. I tested installing tzdata on a local
focal container this way and it just chooses `Etc/UTC` as the timezone.
If you don't configure with --enable-gtk-doc, these won't be included in
the generated .gitignore. If you later configure with --enable-gtk-doc
in the same checkout, they'll show up as untracked files. Include them
in GITIGNOREFILES to ensure they're always added regardless of configure
options.
Like the top level .gitignore, there's no reason to track this if it's
being generated automatically. It only produces spurious diff changes
that you almost certainly don't want.
The local pull path was erroring on any missing commit, but that
prevents a depth pull where the source repo has truncated history. As in
the remote case, this also tries to pull in a tombstone commit if the
source repo supports it.
Fixes: #2266
When pulling with depth, missing parent commits are ignored. However,
the check was applying to any commit, which means that it would succeed
even if the requested commit was missing. This might happen on a
corrupted remote repo or when using ref data from a stale summary.
To achieve this, the semantics of the `commit_to_depth` hash table is
changed slightly to only ever includes parent commits. This makes it
easy to detect when a parent commit is being referenced (although there
is a minor bug there when multiple refs are being pulled) while keeping
references to commits that need their `commitpartial` files cleaned up.
It also means that the table is only populated on depth pulls, which
saves some memory and processing in the common depth=0 case.
Fixes: #2265
In some cases such as backups or mirroring you may want to pull commits
from one repo to another even if there commits that have incorrect
bindings. Fixing the commits in the source repository to have correct
bindings may not be feasible, so provide a pull option to disable
verification.
For Endless we have several repositories that predate collection IDs and
ref bindings. Later these repositories gained collection IDs to support
the features they provide and ref bindings as the ostree tooling was
upgraded. These repositories contain released commits that were valid to
the clients they were targeting at the time. Correcting the bindings is
not really an option as it would mean invalidating the repository
history.
