I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle the situation where a project decides to use submodules in Git. The archive generated doesn't incorporate the submodule files.
I've reviewed: Packaging:Github ; but that really doesn't address the submodule issue.
I looked through some packages that are currently in the Fedora repository and found where a few folks have rebuilt the tarball and referenced that version as the Source in the spec file; then they put in a comment stating:
The source of this package was pulled from upstreams' vcs. Use the following
commands to generate the tarball:
...
- git clone
...
- git submodule init
- git submodule update
...
This approach is the best that I've found. Any other suggestions?
Thanks much!
