Qcom Yocto Update Base Lock

Update ci/base.lock.yml layer pins to latest

What this does

ci/base.lock.yml pins every external layer meta-qcom depends on to an exact upstream commit. This skill bumps those pins to the latest commit on each layer's branch and writes a changelog-style commit, reproducing the format of commit ddbe6a6a (ci: base.lock: update layers to latest).

The helper script lives in this skill's directory; the commands below write <skill-dir> for it (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/qcom-yocto-update-base-lock when installed via install.sh).

Ground rules (do not violate)

• git-only. Do not use kas. Every repo is known from the lock; resolving with git is faster and avoids kas dump --lock re-deriving the repo set.
• Only touch existing lock entries. The lock set is hand-curated: meta-qcom-distro is intentionally left floating (not pinned) and meta-dpdk (defined only in ci/dpdk.yml) is intentionally pinned. Never add or remove a repo - only update commit: values of repos already in the lock.
• Commit, then stop. Create a branch and commit; do not push or open a PR.

Procedure

Run everything from the meta-qcom repo root.

1. Sanity check the starting state

git status --short        # expect a clean tree
git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD

If the tree is dirty, ask the user before continuing.

2. Dry run - resolve latest and preview the message

bash <skill-dir>/scripts/bump-base-lock.sh --dry-run

This fetches each pinned layer's branch into a reusable bare-clone cache (~/.cache/meta-qcom-base-lock/), prints old -> new per layer with a commit count, and prints the proposed commit message. It writes nothing to the lock. Review the output:

• The changed layers and their commit counts look plausible.
• Each section's first line equals the new pin (newest commit first).
• Any WARN: line (e.g. a layer whose old pin was not found upstream because of a force-push) - if present, expect to fix that layer's changelog by hand.

If no layer changed, the script says so and there is nothing to do - report that and stop.

3. Apply the update

bash <skill-dir>/scripts/bump-base-lock.sh

This rewrites ci/base.lock.yml in place (swapping old SHAs for new) and writes the commit message to ~/.cache/meta-qcom-base-lock/commit-message.txt.

4. Review

git --no-pager diff ci/base.lock.yml
cat ~/.cache/meta-qcom-base-lock/commit-message.txt

Confirm only commit: lines changed (no repos added/removed) and the message matches the model format: title ci: base.lock: update layers to latest, one Relevant changes for <layer>: block per changed layer (in lock order, each line - <short-hash> <subject>), then a Signed-off-by: trailer. Tidy any omitted/odd changelog by hand if a WARN appeared.

5. Branch + commit (stop before push)

git switch -c "bump-base-lock-$(date +%Y%m%d)"
git add ci/base.lock.yml
git commit -F ~/.cache/meta-qcom-base-lock/commit-message.txt

If an AI agent is driving this skill, append an Assisted-by: AGENT_NAME:MODEL_VERSION trailer to the message before committing, per meta-qcom's CONTRIBUTING.md.

Then stop. Report the branch name and the per-layer summary, and remind the user to push and open the PR themselves (do not push).

Notes

• URL and branch for each layer are read from ci/*.yml (base.yml, qcom-distro.yml, meta-arm.yml, dpdk.yml; default branch master, with meta-ai/meta-qcom-distro on main). The script derives these dynamically, so new layers or branch changes are picked up automatically as long as the repo is present in the lock.
• The bare-clone cache persists between runs, so repeat runs are fast (the first run clones all layers and may take a few minutes).
• warning: filtering not recognized by server, ignoring is benign: some servers (e.g. git.yoctoproject.org) don't support partial clone, so those layers full-clone instead. It is not an error.
• Signed-off-by: is taken from git config user.name/user.email in the repo. Verify it is the identity you want before committing.
