scripts/make-release: Don't distribute .git directories ** Changed in: qemu Status: New => Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1224414 Title: dtc/.git file included in release tarball Status in QEMU: Fix Committed Bug description: The release tarballs include the dtc/.git submodule file, causing when working git in some circumstances (e.g. doing git clean -fxd in a parent git repository): $ mkdir foo && cd foo $ git init $ echo yo >bar $ curl http://wiki.qemu-project.org/download/qemu-1.6.0.tar.bz2 $ tar xjf qemu-1.6.0.tar.bz2 $ git clean -fxd Removing bar Removing qemu-1.6.0.tar.bz2 Removing qemu-1.6.0/ fatal: Not a git repository: qemu-1.6.0/pixman/../.git/modules/pixman Leaving the qemu-1.6.0 directory intact. So, my suggestion is, would it be possible to filter out the .git file from the release tarball when building a release? Thanks.
