[utah-devel] Attention - fetch_cmd has changed in the dev branch

[Joe Talbott]

Hi All,

If you're using lp:utah or the daily ppa please note.

In your master.run files 'fetch_cmd' has been deprecated in favor of
'fetch_method' and 'fetch_location'.  This allows us better control of
the testsuite fetch process and tracability, as we can now determine the
revision of the testsuite being used.

fetch_method - One of 'bzr', 'bzr-export', or 'git'
  'bzr' does a 'bzr branch <fetch_location>'.
  'bzr-export' does a 'bzr export <fetch_location>'.
  'git' does a 'git clone <fetch_location>'.

fetch_location - Should be a valid repository location for the supplied
fetch_method.  Either remote or local repositories should work.

One caveat to note is that bzr-export requires getting the revision
information from the repository versus the working tree and thus
introduces a small race where an update can happen between pulling the
repo and checking the revision.

This work is in utah/client/common.py and has been designed to make
adding new version control systems as easy as possible.

Thanks,
Joe
