Build without Git

Open guoyunhe opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

For other cores, if Git is not installed in the system (Linux packaging system), they simply skip the step. But this core will throw errors and terminate build.

Git is used for source management. Could you install git?

Alternatively, we could start using GitHub Actions to archive the whole source together with git-archive-all or similar. https://github.com/Kentzo/git-archive-all

I am packaging for openSUSE. Usually I can only submit source tarball from the GitHub releases. Even if Git is installed, it won't get commit history and tags. What I can do now is to mock git history and tags: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/741933#n39

For most Linux distributions, if GitHub releases are available, they won't download whole git repo, which will use a lot more server resources.
