The version.sh script should only try to get the version from git if the source actually resides in a git repository, i.e. .git/ exists. Doing otherwise in a non-git source repo results in git ascending until it finds a .git directory, which will cause problems in some source-based distributions ( https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=482334 ). --- version.sh | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/version.sh b/version.sh index 80e55ab..0f1aa1d 100755 --- a/version.sh +++ b/version.sh @@ -3,7 +3,7 @@ VERSION="3.11" OUT="$1" -if head=`git rev-parse --verify HEAD 2>/dev/null`; then +if [ -d .git ] && head=`git rev-parse --verify HEAD 2>/dev/null`; then git update-index --refresh --unmerged > /dev/null descr=$(git describe) -- 1.8.1.5 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
