As an example of all the hacks needed by a real distribution package,
here's the stuff ArchLinux packagers have to do:
# bash completion
mkdir -p "$pkgdir"/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/
install -m644 ./contrib/completion/git-completion.bash "$pkgdir"/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/git
# fancy git prompt
mkdir -p "$pkgdir"/usr/share/git/
install -m644 ./contrib/completion/git-prompt.sh "$pkgdir"/usr/share/git/git-prompt.sh
# emacs
make -C contrib/emacs prefix=/usr DESTDIR="$pkgdir" install
# gnome credentials helper
install -m755 contrib/credential/gnome-keyring/git-credential-gnome-keyring \
"$pkgdir"/usr/lib/git-core/git-credential-gnome-keyring
make -C contrib/credential/gnome-keyring clean
# the rest of the contrib stuff
cp -a ./contrib/* $pkgdir/usr/share/git/
# scripts are for python 2.x
sed -i 's|#![ ]*/usr/bin/env python$|#!/usr/bin/env python2|' \
$(find "$pkgdir" -name '*.py') \
"$pkgdir"/usr/share/git/gitview/gitview \
"$pkgdir"/usr/share/git/remote-helpers/git-remote-bzr \
"$pkgdir"/usr/share/git/remote-helpers/git-remote-hg
sed -i 's|#![ ]*/usr/bin/python$|#!/usr/bin/python2|' \
"$pkgdir"/usr/share/git/svn-fe/svnrdump_sim.py
# remove perllocal.pod, .packlist, and empty directories.
rm -rf "$pkgdir"/usr/lib/perl5
And here's what debian packagers have to do:
# bash completion
install -d -m0755 '$(GIT)'/etc/bash_completion.d
install -m0644 contrib/completion/git-completion.bash \
'$(GIT)'/etc/bash_completion.d/git
# gitweb
install -d -m0755 '$(GIT)'/usr/share/gitweb
ln -s gitweb.cgi '$(GIT)'/usr/share/gitweb/index.cgi
# contrib hooks
install -d -m0755 '$(GIT)'/usr/share/git-core/contrib/hooks
install -m0644 contrib/hooks/* \
'$(GIT)'/usr/share/git-core/contrib/hooks/
# contrib
install -d -m0755 '$(GIT)'/usr/share/doc/git
cp -R contrib '$(GIT)'/usr/share/doc/git/
rm -rf '$(GIT)'/usr/share/doc/git/contrib/completion
rm -rf '$(GIT)'/usr/share/doc/git/contrib/emacs
find '$(GIT)'/usr/share/doc/git/contrib -type f | xargs chmod 0644
find '$(GIT)'/usr/share/doc/git/contrib -type d | xargs chmod 0755
# remove contrib hooks, they are now installed in
# /usr/share/git-core/contrib, keep symlink for backward compatibility
rm -rf '$(GIT)'/usr/share/doc/git/contrib/hooks
ln -s ../../../git-core/contrib/hooks \
'$(GIT)'/usr/share/doc/git/contrib/
find '$(GIT)'/usr/share/doc/git/ -name .gitignore | xargs rm -f
If our build system was sane, they wouldn't need so many hacks.
