git-subrepo unmaintained? #10

Closed c-kruse closed 6 months ago

c-kruse commented 9 months ago

The git-subrepo package is no longer available in fedora 39, I had to install it from source. The package says that it is unmaintained: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/git-subrepo.

If I had a vote to cast, it would be for moving to plain ole git submodules.

as a temporary workaround, we could point folks to https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/git-subrepo/0.4.6/1.fc38/noarch/git-subrepo-0.4.6-1.fc38.noarch.rpm

or maybe we should use a container?

eg toolbox create -i fedora-toolbox:37

I took a new approach for this. I chose not to use submodules because of the extra step after checkout that it requires. Instead, I have an embedded copy of skewer under external/. The standard plano scripting provides a command to update it (./plano update-skewer).
