Hello again after a long time. I opened https://git.crux.nu/ports/opt/issues/18 at my linux distro ([ports/opt] git: creates incomplete repos), because hook etc directories were missing: warning: templates not found in /share/git-core/templates He then said Try setting [init] templatedir = /usr/share/git-core/templates in your gitconfig. which made me wonder since that is the default, so i looked and saw his change to switch to meson back in January. (What a pity, i liked the make system; only that it requires GNU make, but well..). I then said (it is a web ui, sorry): hi. thanks, i see now (after looking around). it is a fallout of switching to meson, that build system seems incomplete master:meson.build: '-DDEFAULT_GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR="' + get_option('datadir') / 'git-core/templates' + '"', but that "datadir" does not happen to be set at all it seems; is this known upstream? (Hamano does not like me either, so i will not do that..) Only wondering why this happens at all, and is not covered by its tests, really. Ok i overwrite the default with the real default in my config, thanks again. While here, since a couple of months maybe i get a problem on my spare notebook when i sync the filesystem (btrfs). To reproduce: #?0|kent:~# mount /media/btrfs-master/ #?0|kent:/media/btrfs-master# cd crux/kent/root #?0|kent:/media/btrfs-master/crux/kent/root# chroot . ^(we are now chroot(1)ed to the same what is /, actually.) #?0|kent:/# cd root/ #?0|kent:~# git co kent git: ../git-2.48.1/exec-cmd.c:50: system_prefix: Assertion `executable_dirname' failed. Aborted It will work if i do /usr/bin/git, effectively the same binary. However, this does not apply "normally": #?0|kent:~# cd / #?0|kent:/# chroot . #?0|kent:/# cd root #?0|kent:~# git co kent M hosts/iwd.network/.known_network.freq Switched to branch 'kent' #?0|kent:~# git co master M hosts/iwd.network/.known_network.freq Switched to branch 'master' Whatever the actual logic is, it seems a bit odd, and furthermore, and most of all, the above assertion is not a real help to solve the problem at hand, some kind of hint to a solution would be tremendous! Thanks for git, and ciao! --steffen | |Der Kragenbaer, The moon bear, |der holt sich munter he cheerfully and one by one |einen nach dem anderen runter wa.ks himself off |(By Robert Gernhardt)
