If the curl program is not available, and git clone is started to clone a repository through http, this is the output Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/puppet/.git/ /usr/bin/git-clone: line 37: curl: command not found Cannot get remote repository information. Perhaps git-update-server-info needs to be run there? This patch improves the error message by testing for availability of the curl program before running it, the error output now is Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/puppet/.git/ The curl program is not available Adrian Bridgett noticed this and reported through http://bugs.debian.org/440976 Signed-off-by: Gerrit Pape <pape@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- git-clone.sh | 2 ++ 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/git-clone.sh b/git-clone.sh index 18003ab..834371d 100755 --- a/git-clone.sh +++ b/git-clone.sh @@ -34,6 +34,8 @@ fi http_fetch () { # $1 = Remote, $2 = Local + type curl >/dev/null 2>&1 || + die "The curl program is not available" curl -nsfL $curl_extra_args "$1" >"$2" } -- 1.5.3.1 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
