mtns

A set of almost-tools that help me track changes for the meta-aws project.

mtns would mean "maintainer tracking and notification system" if we were in 70s IBM, or phonetically mean "emptyness" if living in some emo-goth echochamber. Really, it's four characters put together that don't clash with anything else and it's easy to remember.

Prerequisites

1. A relatively modern GNU/Linux based system
2. git

Basic, almost unreadable steps to almost-success

1. Clone this repo
2. modify repos.conf to meet your configuration needs.
3. run mtnssync to initialize the repos under ~/.mtns/repos. You can setup a daily cron job to keep them up to date.
4. run mtnstodo to get a report of tags applied to repos in the last 7 days. You can change the number of days by running the following with changing dayspan signified by x mtnstodo x
5. run mtnsdepend to identify submodules and their aligned tags. This should help with configuring PREFERRED_VERSION_x properly.
