Auto-update components

[obbardc]

Maybe from a nightly cronjob?

A cron job sounds like a good solution, as updating should always be under user control.

some hacked up test code for the Makefile, but the if statements are read on Makefile read, not on target run.

test_commit := $(shell git status | grep -c 'Changes not staged for commit\|Changes to be committed')
test_make := $(shell git status | grep -c "Makefile")
timestamp := $(shell /bin/date "+%H:%M %d/%m/%Y")

commit:
        # check whether there is anything to commit
        ifeq ($(test_commit),0)
                $(error nothing to commit!)
        endif

        # check whether the Makefile has been modified
        ifneq ($(test_make),0)
                $(error makefile must be commited by hand!)
        endif
        echo Timestamp is $(timestamp)
        pdk commit -m "Update upstream components as of $(timestamp)"
        git push github master

as part of the automated process we should check whether the components are all dependency closed before committing.

the commands to update manually are:-

DATE=`date "+%H:%M %d/%m/%Y"`
make
pdk commit -m "Update upstream components as of $DATE"
git push github master
