Hi Radhika, 1. fatal: ref HEAD is not a symbolic ref You don't have to worry about this message. gbs checks reference of HEAD to export source codes to tmp dir. It runs 'git symbolic-ref HEAD' for this and it runs 'git archive --format=tar --prefix=xxx HEAD | tar -C xf /tmp/where-gbs-chosen -'. if you didn't pass specific branch for build into gbs, result of 'git symbolic-ref HEAD' won't be used in this procedure.
F.Y.I - 'repo' tool doesn't set the branch as default. when you execute 'git branch -r' under your local git repository which downloaded using repo, you may see the 'no branch'. There is 2 purpose of 'repo', one is sync all git repositories to your local repository (Tizen have 1043 repositories for now). another one is to upload patch easily into Gerrit. To upload your patch into Gerrit, you must create new branch in your repository like this: 'repo start branch-name .' Since most user of 'repo' just do 'repo sync' for first purpose, I guess that the 'repo' doesn't set the branch to sync all patches without conflict. If you don't want to see the message 'fatal: ref HEAD is not a symbolic ref', do 'repo start my-build .'. But you need to run 'git checkout m/master' to avoid merge conflict someday. 2. build error I just debugged gbs and I found 1 weird problem of apps/home/menu-screen git repository. When gbs export code into /tmp/xxxyyyzz to build. the 'packaging' dir don't be exported by 'git archive ....' cmd. Since gbs need spec file (.spec) to run 'rpmbuild' but there's no spec under tmp dir, gbs print out the python exception message what you've seen. I guess this is a git problem. Test like this under apps/home/menu-screen: $ git archive --format=tar HEAD | tar t | grep \.spec => There's '.spec' file in local repository. but no spec file exported by 'git archive' command. It's weird Check it again under another repositories. You can see the '.spec' file and You may can build using gbs without problem under those directories. Tizen git adminstrator, please check this issue.
