GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 742039
document usage and availability of modulesets
Last modified: 2021-05-17 16:00:48 UTC
Currently there's no (easy) way of figuring out where to get moduleset URIs from. The usage message might include it, but the docs at https://developer.gnome.org/jhbuild/stable/getting-started.html.en definitely should include it. It should also be clear from the usage message whether the modulesets included in the app or need to be fetch from an external source.
EDIT 1: The error message `I: Modulesets were edited locally but JHBuild is configured to get them from the network, perhaps you need to add use_local_modulesets = True to your .jhbuildrc.` sounds like the modules are fetched automatically.
EDIT 2: Official modulesets sources need to be referenced because there're some apparently unmaintained modulesets, e.g. https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-modulesets which hasn't been changed since 3 years, others are up to date. There seem to be very old (`-3.0`-suffixed) .modules files in `modulesets` directory in the source root of `jhbuild`. `README` contains a much more useful usage message which should be printed when the command is invoked with `--help`.
