Yes, it's not good, but I couldn't find a way to make it work.
This is part of the complications with meson I referred to. The
@BUILD_ROOT@ placeholder in custom_target() is apparently always a
relative path, but it doesn't know that git -C changes the current
directory.
Another thing I'd like to point out is, should we also introduce *git commit*
or maybe *git tag* to package name, something like:
git archive --format tar.gz --prefix postgresql-17devel/ HEAD -o
postgresql-17devel-`git rev-parse --short HEAD`.tar.gz
git archive --format tar.gz --prefix postgresql-17devel/ HEAD -o
postgresql-`git describe --tags`.tar.gz
I'm not sure why we would need it built-in. It can be done by hand, of
course.
