Re: Packaging Guidelines for Applications using Git Submodules

I'd say that submodules usually mean bundling and since bundling is prohibited, there is little reason to document how to work with submodules.

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 done some searching on this, and haven't really come up with much.
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!
