After some thinking I understood DFS. Up to now I thought infty is just the LaTeX macro name for "infinity", but apart of this, is this really the right term here? endless loop? > recursive_dep() takes .topdeps only from committed trees. And it is required > that the committed dependency graph is acyclic. I didn't check the implementation deeply. But all in all I don't have the usual warm and fuzzy feeling about it. What happens during a remote update if only the merged dependency graph has a cycle[1]? Best regards Uwe [1] The question is a bit theoretic because remote updating is broken here. If you are my remote and changed a .topdep file, my update simply discards your change. -- Pengutronix e.K. | Uwe Kleine-König | Industrial Linux Solutions | http://www.pengutronix.de/ | -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
