So I wouldn't ever have noticed on my own, but now that I've tried
github for the kernel, somebody else reported that the downloaded zip
file (seriously? the kernel as a zip file?) is corrupt.
And it doesn't really seem to be a github issue. I can re-create it
with a simple
git archive --format=zip HEAD -o ../kernel.zip
on my kernel repository: the end result does not unzip correctly:
mkdir temp-directory
cd temp-directory
unzip kernel.zip
...
inflating: virt/kvm/iommu.c
inflating: virt/kvm/irq_comm.c
inflating: virt/kvm/kvm_main.c
finishing deferred symbolic links:
arch/microblaze/boot/dts/system.dts -> ../../platform/generic/system.dts
drivers/scsi/aic94xx/aic94xx_reg.h -> /*^J * Aic94xx SAS/SATA
driver hardware registers definitions.[ rest of the file ]
symlink error: File name too long
iow, for some reason that "drivers/scsi/aic94xx/aic94xx_reg.h" file
seems to have been encoded as a symlink.
Anybody seen this?
