I am happy to announce the availability of OSC's OSD project in a git Mirror of the internal svn repository. As expected it only contains the GPL parts of OSC's OSD project. Thanks to Ananth Devulapalli, the maintainer of the project at OSC, for letting us do this. I have also tied the project with TOMO's tgt git-tree as a submodule, so a user that needs an OSD2 target need only clone one head and everything will sync automatically. The git tree is here: git-clone git://git.open-osd.org/osc-osd or viewed http://git.open-osd.org/gitweb.cgi?p=osc-osd/.git;a=summary The tgt submodule can also be accessed at: git://git.open-osd.org/osc-osd/tgt or viewed http://git.open-osd.org/gitweb.cgi?p=osc-osd/tgt/.git;a=summary But please don't clone directly. Use the git-submodule command from osc-osd project to sync everything automatically. (See README for how) GIT Structure ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For most users the osc-osd/master branch is all they need and with a small help from git-submodule update they should get a compilable/working OSD2 target/Initiator. The git structure is as follows: osc-old-git - branch: Historic git-tree This is the dead git tree that is still available at: web - http://git.osc.edu/?p=osd.git or git://git.osc.edu/osd.git It is no longer updated and won't even compile at current state. But it has the longest available history of the project. osc - branch: OSC's svn Mirror Is a branch I manually rebase-merged between the osc-old-git and a git-branch I made with the help of the svn_fetch3.sh script. OSC would let me have a read-only access to their GPL parts of the SVN repository, with the help of a script I import this repository into git. The script is incremental and is run from time-to-time to update on OSC's progress. From today on all commits to this branch will be made only by the svn_fetch3.sh script. SVN_FETCH - tag This tags the patch that adds the first version of svn_fetch3.sh script and friends, from here on the tree branches from the original git tree and starts the SVN import. master - branch At this branch I keep open-osd patches to the OSC project, as well as the integration with the tgt submodule. Checking out this branch should give a user working results. Other branches might not compile and/or need farther manual configuration. Here I will try to keep a working version. Currently "master" is a superset of "osc". But in the future the "osc" branch might advance faster then master. I will try to only cut master at points that compiles and pass my tests, so users have a good chance of a working set. Needless to say that osc-old-git is frozen. "osc" will never rebase, and will only advance forward. Other then exact commits from svn it will contain updates to the svn_fetch* script if needed. "master" will rebase, with open-osd pending patches flouting above "osc" branch. When/if some of the patches get accepted by Ananth or are fixed in some other way, they will get dropped. So for users, they should "git-remote update" plus "git-checkout -b ..." and not just "git-pull" from "master" [README] ~~~~~~~~~ all a user need is to follow these steps: - at some parent folder do $ git clone git://git.open-osd.org/osc-osd (Please use relatively new git version) $ cd osc-osd/ - At this point we need one additional step $ git submodule init $ git submodule update This last command will auto clone the tgt git tree and will checkout the exact point of the tree needed at that point of the osc-osd tree. - That's it we are ready you should now do $ make And it should all compile. See the osd-initiator/README and osd-target/README for additional *-devel packages you might need, but I don't remember any. - For running the target also read osd-target/README and tgt/doc/. But basically you should run ./up for a debug load of an OSD2 target. The backing store of the target will be at the default /tmp/... - For farther instructions on how to run the Initiator please read osd-initiator/README and so on. You might need Kernel patches or new Linux versions, for proper bsg support. - Up-to-date (or not) information should also be viewable at our web-site: http://open-osd.org >From time to time if you want to update on osc-osd progress you might do: - Save a working merge point: $ git tag WORKS_FOR_ME master This can later be removed if you're happy with the new stuff. I might keep these tagged as well. - Update with new version $ git remote update if you are on your own branch then $ git branch -f master origin/master this will not work if you're on master. In that case do: $ git-reset --hard origin/master and one extra step $ git-submodule update This will sync tgt to the proper point That's it make and test I want to thank Pete Wyckoff, Ananth Devulapalli, FUJITA Tomonori and their teems for the help and hard work put into these projects, and their advise. We hope to stay true to these projects and provide users a good public place to come collect these things needed for a workable OSD setup.
