It's not actually required; I forgot to silence that error. The error is produced while calculating the DISTDATE variable, which you don't need while installing 6.6. I fixed that in 6.7, in commit 931186249d1896a0c6f32708e6155305698af613 Author: Alejandro Colomar <alx@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Feb 15 00:00:55 2024 +0100 share/mk/dist/: dist: Support recursive 'dist' Hardcode the version and date, and don't use git(1) for selecting the distribution files. Signed-off-by: Alejandro Colomar <alx@xxxxxxxxxx> If you want to patch 6.6, you can apply this trivial patch: diff --git i/share/mk/version.mk w/share/mk/version.mk index af3c0cb2a..f867f25b1 100644 --- i/share/mk/version.mk +++ w/share/mk/version.mk @@ -14,7 +14,7 @@ include $(MAKEFILEDIR)/verbose.mk DISTNAME := $(shell $(GIT) describe $(HIDE_ERR)) DISTVERSION := $(patsubst man-pages-%,%,$(DISTNAME)) -DISTDATE := $(shell $(GIT) log -1 --format='%aD') +DISTDATE := $(shell $(GIT) log -1 --format='%aD' $(HIDE_ERR)) endif # include guard I'm guessing you're on Gentoo. Sam, do you want me to release 6.6.1 with that fix? Is there anything else that's broken that I should fix? > Is there a way to make install without having git installed? You can safely ignore that error. > (Or should I just silence / ignore errors from bash?) Yep, it's safe to ignore; I can release a 6.6.1 if that helps. > [root@zink man-pages-6.06]# bash -exu -c 'make install DESTDIR=/tmp/foo' | head > + make install DESTDIR=/tmp/foo > fatal: not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /) > Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set). > INSTALL /tmp/foo/usr/local/share/man/man2/ioctl_ficlone.2 > INSTALL /tmp/foo/usr/local/share/man/man2/ioctl_ficlonerange.2 > INSTALL /tmp/foo/usr/local/share/man/man2/ioctl_fideduperange.2 > INSTALL /tmp/foo/usr/local/share/man/man2/ioctl_fslabel.2 > INSTALL /tmp/foo/usr/local/share/man/man2/ioctl_getfsmap.2 > INSTALL /tmp/foo/usr/local/share/man/man2/ioctl_iflags.2 > INSTALL /tmp/foo/usr/local/share/man/man2/ioctl_ns.2 > INSTALL /tmp/foo/usr/local/share/man/man2/ioctl_pagemap_scan.2 > INSTALL /tmp/foo/usr/local/share/man/man2type/ > INSTALL /tmp/foo/usr/local/share/man/man2type/open_how.2type > [root@zink man-pages-6.06]# > > Best, > Henrik Holst Have a lovely night!
