Check whether there is any symlink in the repository that will degrade to a file and abort the tarball dist generation. We ignore origins/default as even as a regular file, it works fine, and it's less trouble to maintain for now. --- Makefile.am | 8 +++++++- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/Makefile.am b/Makefile.am index 2c97b830a..fe570616a 100644 --- a/Makefile.am +++ b/Makefile.am @@ -211,10 +211,16 @@ update-po: include $(top_srcdir)/cpan.am # If we create the dist tarball from the git repository, make sure -# that we're not forgetting some files... +# that we're not forgetting some files, and we are not storing any symlink +# in the repository (except for the origins/default one) as those degrade +# to regular files due to automake telling tar to dereference them. dist-hook: dist-cpan echo $(VERSION) >$(distdir)/.dist-version if [ -e .git ]; then \ + for file in `git ls-tree | grep ^12 | grep -v t/origins/default`; do \ + echo "$$file is a symlink packed as a file on the dist tar" >&2 ; \ + exit 1 ; \ + done ; \ for file in `git ls-files | grep -v .gitignore`; do \ if [ ! -e "$(distdir)/$$file" ]; then \ echo "$$file is missing in $(distdir)" >&2 ; \ -- Dpkg.Org's dpkg
