DESCRIPTION
Shipwright branches is a method to keep multiple sources for one
source, a bit like branches in vcs. Technically, all the sources for
foo live below sources/foo/.
Sources from CPAN can't be branched, or in the other way, can only have
one branch. Technically, only dists occurred in shipwright/source.yml
can be branched.
Imagine we have an app Foo, of which the layout in vcs is like:
trunk/... branches/1.0/... branches/2.0/...
With branches support, we can add all the 3 versions in shipwright:
$ shipwright import -r ... svn:.../trunk --name Foo --as trunk
$ shipwright import -r ... svn:.../branches/1.0 --name Foo --as branches/1.0
$ shipwright import -r ... svn:.../branches/2.0 --name Foo --as branches/2.0
the branch names can be whatever you want, no need to be the same
layout as your vcs system now we have trunk, 1.0 and 2.0 branches in
shipwright:
$ shipwright list -r ... Foo
will show "branches: trunk, branches/1.0, branches/2.0"
When build, the 1st one will be treated as the default branch. to
change the default branch, e.g. we want to change 2.0 as the default:
$ shipwright defaultbranch -r ... Foo branches/2.0
If we don't want to change the default branch, we can also supply
--branch arg when build:
$ ./bin/shipwright-builder --branches Foo=branches/2.0
Note:
Since all these branches share the same build script and the same dep
sources, if branches are way too different, it's better to import it as
another source instead of branching.
