The plan is to continue using git submodules for this. The main Hafnium
repository has submodules for:
prebuilts
driver/linux
project/reference
third_party/dtc
third_party/googletest
third_party/linux
The .gitmodules file currently still points to the old URLs but this will
be updated once the migration is complete. (We are currently blocked on
getting CI running on the new infrastructure.) The advantage of submodules
over repo for this is that it ties specific versions together, which is
important for bisection or otherwise checking out old versions to work
properly. Often we make changes in one repository which need to happen at
the same time as a change in another repository for the build to work. Repo
doesn't provide a way to link versions together like this. We were using
repo for some internal Google tools which don't support submodules, but
this shouldn't be necessary anymore.
Hi Raghu,
The transition of repo, CI and tools is still taking place, we can expect in the shorter term the project management to be very similar although on TF.org servers to what it was previously but longer term tighter integration with TF-A will occur but details are still being worked out. We expect a TF-A Tech Forum meeting in the near term future to cover more details of Hafnium integration and other subjects.
Thanks
Joanna

All,
I was looking at the hafnium repositories on trusted firmware and was
wondering how we envision managing the project on trustedfirmware.org vs
googlesource. Is the plan to set up this project to be like
googlesource, i.e using repo to manage the multiple repositories ? There
appears to be dependencies on third party tools/prebuilts in the
BUILD.gn files so using something like repo even on trustedfirmware.org
sounds useful.
Thanks
Raghu

All,
I was looking at the hafnium repositories on trusted firmware and was
wondering how we envision managing the project on trustedfirmware.org vs
googlesource. Is the plan to set up this project to be like
googlesource, i.e using repo to manage the multiple repositories ? There
appears to be dependencies on third party tools/prebuilts in the
BUILD.gn files so using something like repo even on trustedfirmware.org
sounds useful.
