OstreeMutableTree: add _remove method #1724
Conversation
Hmm, there's no way either to remove directories, right? Maybe a dedicated I guess we could enhance the semantics of |
Makes sense. I was thinking about how to work around the lack of removal by recursively walking my MutableTree and making a new one without the stuff I wanted to remove, but it seems there's also no API for adding a subdir which is an already existing MutableTree. This whole thing is driving me nuts. Anyway - here is a _remove method, which solves the problem at hand! |

Just one suggestion below, otherwise LGTM!

Hmm, yeah you're right. If it's a tree that was initialized from an ostree commit, you can at least use ostree_repo_write_directory_to_mtree()
with the root tree (or a subdir).
My impression is that it's more common to do any extensive manipulations by just checking out the files to disk, edit things there, and then recommit it back. With the devino cache, performance is pretty good. (#1651 is related here; it adds a new --prefix
commit option).
There is no API method to remove a file or subdirectory from a MutableTree besides directly manipulating the GHashTable returned by _get_files or _get_subdirs. This isn't possible from an introspection binding that transforms the returned GHashTable, and may also leave the tree checksum in an invalid state. Introduce a new method so that removing files or subdirectories is safe, and possible from bindings.
Awesome, thanks a lot! (That whole file needs to be ported to the new style, but let's do that separately.) |

Allow NULL to remove a file entry, add GI annotations to show that checksum is nullable.Introduce a new method to allow removing files or subdirectories.
