Updating code

Updating checked out larsoft code

Wherever possible, we strongly suggest that you simply start with a clean checkout. The build system is designed to easily accommodate clean checkouts.

1. first, update the master branch so you can use “git push” later
   • git checkout master
   • git pull
2. second, update develop
   • git checkout develop
   • git pull
   • resolve any conflicts
3. third, update any feature branches
   • git checkout feature/my_feature_branch
   • git merge develop
   • resolve any conflicts

Updating your own package

To migrate your own package to larsoft v03_00_00, you will need to update the files in the ups subdirectory. Once that is done, you may find that gcc 4.9.1 finds problems in your code that need fixing. We mostly noticed complaints about type mismatches and about unused local functions (in anonymous namespace).

1. With the advent of cetbuildtools 4.0.0, the structure of the product_deps file has been enhanced, and there is a corresponding change to the setup_for_development file. You should not change one without changing the other, but since 4.0.1 either the old form or the new one is accepted. The old form is deprecated however, and support will be removed in the future. There is a script, migrate-package, that will upgrade the product_deps and setup_for_development files in order to work best with newer cetbuildtools. Usage: setup cetbuildtools v4_02_02 # (say) migrate-package
2. update dependencies (larsoft, gcc, and any other package that is explicitly listed in ups/product_deps) mrb uv larsoft v03_00_00 mrb uv gcc v4_9_1
