Build failure after moving submodule

asked 2013-09-05 10:57:00 -0500

In the enu package. The initial release had an error related to headers, which I'm hoping I've resolved, but in the process of getting there, I moved a submodule within the package, which seems to triggered an issue with a git rebase operation:

It looks like the archive which was created contains a submodule reference. Which is annoying because the archive is supposed to be free of any vcs related files.

I don't think bloom can support this unless git archive ... also exports and flattens any submodule contents...

Currently I use vcstools to do an vcs agnostic "archive", which calls the correct vcs command based on the vcs being used. So bloom doesn't interact with the upstream directly ever. But since the .gitmodules file persists with the archive it is breaking things...

Can you open a ticket against bloom?

For now I would say submodules are not supported, at least until I figure out what needs to be done to support them correctly.

Ack, bummer. The package in a question is a pretty thin wrapper over the library which I'm submodule-ing in. Is there some other mechanism which would work better? Forking the library would be a big pain—another way would be to just copy it in, or have it cloned in in the build. Preference?

If the project doesn't provide debians, then I would release it as a third party package and then have the `enu` package depend on it. Otherwise you have some options: fix bloom to support submodules :), manually create a tarball of you upstream repository with the submodule folder populated but without the .gitmodules file and give that to bloom (vcs type tar), or you can copy the data directly into your repository, side stepping the submodule completely.

Hmm, third party release sounds like the most "correct" way to go. I'll maybe proceed down that road and ping you when I get stuck.
