[PATCH] To make GIT-VERSION-FILE, search for git more widely

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Problem: when git is installed into /usr/local/bin, running 'sudo make
install' won't find git in $PATH (because sudo strips PATH, for instance
on openSUSE 11.1, and doesn't include /usr/local/whatever).

This causes GIT-VERSION-FILE to not find git for git describe, and fall
back to DEF_VER.

This in turn causes rebuilds of major parts of the system.

This patch passes GIT through to the shell script, and additionally
looks for the current version and in ${prefix}/bin.
