The idea was that the version string can be derived because we know the package name. However, this patch does not account for the fact that $(pkgname) always points to the latest pacakge scanned, which in all other situation we're using it, is the current package, because it is used inside one ot he xxx-inner macros that are $(eval)ualed. So $(pkgname) is evaluated "early" and gets the expected value. However, the github value is not in one of those macros, so it gets evaluated "late", when doing the actual download. So, by that time, $(pkgname) will expand to the last package scanned, which is actuall the manual (without a br2-external tree). That would require that the _SITE variable be assigned with the := assignment operator. This is weird, because that would make it the only variable to require that, but only when using the github helper, which is even less obvious and would cause a lot of trouble... The obvious fixup would seem to be to use $(PKG) instead, because that already contains the upper-case package name that vcan be used as a prefix to variables. However, that does not work either, because we have a check that forbids a trsailing slash in _SITE, check that is done in pacakge/pkg-generic, inside the xxx-inner macro, during the $(eval) call. And at that time, PKG is not yet defined, because it is only defined for an actual recipe. So we can't seem to have a workable solution. So, just revert the patch. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.
