From 3abd5ba4243489b821d44e407528020cd8a138f8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Yann E. MORIN" Date: Fri, 1 Jul 2016 11:01:17 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] support/download/git: do not use git archive, handle it manually We currently use git-archive to generate the tarball. This is all handy and dandy, but git-archive does not support submodules. In the follow-up patch, we're going to handle submodules, so we would not be able to use git-archive. Instead, we manually generate the archive: - extract the tree to the requested cset, - get the date of the commit to store in the archive, - store only numeric owners, - store owner and group as 0 (zero, although any arbitrary value would have been fine, as long as it's a constant), - sort the files to store in the archive. We also get rid of the .git directory, because there is no reason to keep it in the context of Buildroot. Some people would love to keep it so as to speed up later downloads when updating a package, but that is not really doable. For example: - use current Buildroot - it would need foo-12345, so do a clone and keep the .git in the generated tarball - update Buildroot - it would need foo-98765 For that second clone, how could we know we would have to first extract foo-12345 ? So, the .git in the archive is pretty much useless for Buildroot. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.
