issues(?) installing git-lfs via fedora "dnf" command

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

 



  first, i realize this is almost entirely a fedora packaging issue
and i'm planning on reporting it there, but i just want to make sure
i'm not doing something stupid.

  knowing nothing about the git-lfs package, i thought i would install
it and just poke around out of sheer curiosity, so on my fully-updated
fedora 28 system, i ran:

  $ sudo dnf install git-lfs

which did in fact install that package, but also generated (abridged
version):

  ... snip ...
  Running transaction
    Preparing        :
    Installing       : git-lfs-2.4.0-1.fc28.x86_64
    Running scriptlet: git-lfs-2.4.0-1.fc28.x86_64
  Error: Failed to call git rev-parse --git-dir --show-toplevel: "fatal:
  not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git\n"

  Git LFS initialized.
    Verifying        : git-lfs-2.4.0-1.fc28.x86_64

  Installed:
    git-lfs.x86_64 2.4.0-1.fc28

is one supposed to be *in* a git repository when installing, because i
was in fact at the top level of my linux kernel source repo, so i'm
unclear on what that "Error" is trying to tell me. am i just being
clueless? is this something that i should submit as a fedora packaging
issue?
