libretro-manifest

repo manifest for libretro project

This is an alternative method to libretro-fetsh.sh for getting/keeping libretro project code up to date which may intigrate better with some devs' workflows. It allows for a local manifest file so that devs can re-map or add specific repositories in the libretro project with their personal working versions of that repository without imacting the mapping of any of the other community repositories.

Setup and initial run

Instead of cloning libretro-super and then running libretro-fetch.sh do the following:

Make sure you have a bin/ directory in your home directory and that it is included in your path:

mkdir ~/bin
PATH=~/bin:$PATH

Download the Repo tool and ensure that it is executable:

curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo

Grab all the libretro projects:

mkdir ~/libretro-src
cd ~/libretro-src
repo init -u https://github.com/libretro/libretro-manifest.git
repo sync
repo forall -c git submodule update --init

Subsequent runs (keep your local code up to date)

cd ~/libretro-src
repo sync
repo forall -c git submodule update
