So once more the request to be able to get sane version strings for git repos.
Can we please just move gitpkgv. That's like five minutes work, and if anyone
(e.g. me) feels like building something better, he or she is free do submit
that and get rid of the gitpkgv class once it's obsolete.
I do feel quite strongly that this is something which should get
improved in the fetcher itself. That is why I've pushed back on the
patch since if I take it into OE-Core, there is even less incentive to
fix the real problem...
Mike I am also an user of gitpkgv but I must to agree with Richard
here. Moving this to OE-Core will just make it worse. It is way better
to prepare a patch and add support for it on the fetcher code of
BitBake.
Give me some pointers on what you're talking about here, and I'll be happy to
try and implement it. Currently I have no idea as to what is "wrong" with the
gitpkgv approach, and I also have no clue as to what it is you want to have
implemented in the git fetcher.
Kind regards,
Mike.
