Hi all,
Is there a mechanism for using the USE_GITHUB variable in a port that
depends on submodules? For instance, the Rust port requires an embedded
(and modified) version of LLVM, which it includes as a submodule. Right
now I'm attempting to add the following to a `post-extract` rule:
post-extract:
cd ${WRKSRC} && \
git init && \
git remote add origin https://github.com/${GH_ACCOUNT}/${PORTNAME} && \
git fetch && \
git reset --hard ${PORTVERSION} && \
git submodule init && \
git submodule update --recursive
But this seems quite hackish! It would be great if submodules Just
Worked... but alternatively, is there a USE_GITHUB_URL or somesuch that
would check things out via Git instead of tarball to save me the `git
init` through `git reset` steps?
Hello,
Please just try adding an option for fetch target to do this:
post-extract:
cd ${WRKSRC} && \
git submodule update --init --recursive
You should not need all the other things such as:
post-extract:
cd ${WRKSRC} && \
git init && \
git remote add originhttps://github.com/${GH_ACCOUNT}/${PORTNAME} && \
git fetch && \
git reset --hard ${PORTVERSION} && \
git submodule init && \
git submodule update --recursive
Since submodules are based on git hashes, there should not be a security
issue.
All that's needed is that the git ports hook for extracting needs an
optional "git submodule update --init --recursive" step added to it.
