Issue #17132 has been updated by Thaodan (Bj=F6rn Bidar). >As I have never used git submodule, I can't get what "target thats inside = a submodule" means. >Could you explain how you set up it? It means that the target eg. the srcdir is in a git submodule. It set it up like this: ``` shell git init git submodule add https://github.com/ruby/ruby.git ``` >.git file/directory doesn't exist in submodule? it is but .git contains only the dir of the real git directory instead the = main module. The reason for all this is to keep the upstream source while having the dow= nstream rpm directory in the same tree so that when building a tarball can = be generated that is used to build the package in ci system. ---------------------------------------- Bug #17132: vcs.rb doesn't detect git submodules as vcs https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17132#change-87317 * Author: Thaodan (Bj=F6rn Bidar) * Status: Feedback * Priority: Normal * ruby -v: ruby 2.7.1p83 (2020-03-31 revision a0c7c23c9c) [x86_64-linux] * Backport: 2.5: UNKNOWN, 2.6: UNKNOWN, 2.7: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- Mostly a followup of #12239 as this was already about a similar use case. When I run make-snapshot with a srcdir as target thats inside a submodule i= t doesn't detect it as vcs.
