feature request : Kas new plugin to set rolling refspec (tag/branches) in yaml manifest to git commits

[embetrix]

would be nice to have a new plugin to set refspec based on tag/branches to fixed git commits

$ kas fix-ref kas-project.yml > kas-project-fixed.yml

example of kas-project.yml

header:
  version: 11
machine: qemux86
distro: poky
repos:
  poky:
    url: "https://git.yoctoproject.org/git/poky"
    refspec: kirkstone
    path: "layers"
    layers:
      meta:
      meta-poky:
      meta-yocto-bsp:
  meta-openembedded:
    url: "https://github.com/openembedded/meta-openembedded.git"
    refspec: kirkstone
    path: "layers/meta-openembedded"
    layers:
      meta-oe:
      meta-python:

will be converted to kas-project-fixed.yml

Sound like https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/kas-devel/20230124033239.69433-1-felix.moessbauer%40siemens.com. Please follow up there if you see gaps. I'd like to settle over some solution soon, ideally one that serves most use cases (all is probably not realistic).

@jan-kiszka thanks a lot it's exactly what I was looking for !

kas dump --resolve-refs kas-project.yml > kas-project-fixed.yml shame that the doc doesn't reference it

[jan-kiszka]

So don't even need that lock-file feature? Also good to know.

Happy to see patches to improve the docs!

Indeed, something about --resolve-refs is missing there: https://kas.readthedocs.io/en/latest/userguide.html#module-kas.plugins.dump @fmoessbauer

Yes, I thought I added it but apparently only to the help message. I will add it and also put the examples into code blocks.
