hi folks.

I'm attempting to automate my builds of packages, using gitea+drone

Here is a sample build for xeyes

https://gogs.bigyellowfish.com/scrumpyjack/xeyes

The pipeline goes as follows.
When stuff gets pushedi to the above repo, a githook triggers the drone 
build.
Drone uses docker images as a starting point, alpine:edge in this case, 
and you can see the build steps in .drone.yml.
The last bit formats a patch, which cna be sent to the aports mailing 
list.

What I'm struggling with is how to keep that xeyes repo in sync with 
https://git.alpinelinux.org/aports/tree/community/xeyes
so that changes anyone else makes get applied to my local xeyes repo.

Anyone with better git skills than me have any advice?

Perhaps there is a better way of doing this (i'd like to stick with 
drone though)?

Hey scrumpyjack,

If I understand correctly, what you want is a process that takes the latest
work from your repository, combines it with the latest work on xeyes in
sports, and builds the result?

Thanks,
Rob

hi Robert, thanks for asking. Here is a better description:

I make changes to my local xeyes repo, and drone builds the package when I
push the changes. A patch gets created on successfull build and gets emailed
to alpine-aports.

The patch then gets applied to xeyes in the aports tree

At this point both xeyes are identical.

But if you, Robert, modify the xeyes package in the aports tree, i need a way
to pull those changes into my local xeyes repo automatically, so that they are
always in sync.

Does that make sense?

Either "rebase --onto UPSTREAM MYCHANGES-FIRST^ MYCHANGES" or look
out for the git "rerere" command, but which i have never used
myself.  Merge conflicts can still happen of course, i would then
"rebase --abort", stop the automated process and send me a mail.
