v2.1.0

Breaking changes

Change in manifest syntax

It was discovered that the manifest syntax was confusing for newcomers, so we decided to update it.

In particular, the src key meant both a relative path in the workspace when used in the repo config, and a relative path in the a repository when using in the repo.copy config.

Starting with this release, repo.src becomes repo.dest and repo.copy.src becomes repo.copy.file.

# Before (tsrc < 2.1.0)
repos:
  url: "https://acme.corp/foo"
  src: foo
  copy:
     src: some-file
     dest: some-file

# After (tsrc >= 2.1.0)
repos:
  url: "https://acme.corp/foo"
  dest : foo
  copy:
     file: some-file
     dest: some-file

This should make it clearer what tsrc does because:

• dest now always refers to a relative path in the workspace (both in repo and copy).
• By using repo.copy.file it's obvious that tsrc only supports copying files, not directories.

Supported Python versions

Drop support for Python 3.5

New features

• tsrc init learned a -r, --remote option that pins the remote with the given name as the only remote to be used for cloning and syncing.
  tsrc expects this remote to be present in the manifest for all repositories.
  This is useful if you use the same workspace in different physical locations,
  and one of the remotes is behind a VPN for instance. Patch by @tronje.

Bug fixes

• Fix #217: Preserves file attributes during the copy statements in repos

Other

• The whole test suite now runs without errors on Windows - and Windows support is now part of the GitHub Actions checks.
• The tests now run faster and with more readable output (this was done by using libgit2 instead of running git commands in the tests helpers).
• Add a scheduled GitHub action to run safety
• Remove usage of deprecated API of the path library.
• Run tests and linters for external pull requests too.
