It's not quite that easy, given the possible presence of git submodules. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1591387/need-to-handle-git-submodules-in-git-archive There are scripts out there though, it's not a huge amount of engineering. However if you take the next step and ask yourself, "why not actually just use git repositories instead of the lookaside pile of tarballs", then you get into the part I found the most tricky with doing continuous integration (and complying with the GPL by mirroring the source you're building), which is recursively mirroring the submodules, and changing the submodule references to point to your local mirror: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-ostree/tree/src/js/vcs.js#n213 Even the Jenkins git plugin doesn't really handle this quite correctly, but the above code has survived a lot of real-world testing. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
