Hi *, I'm trying to follow an upstream GNU package's Git repo which has a gnulib submodule, and PO files from 'translationproject.org'. Example: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:berny:branches:fromgit/hello Do I do it right? Long story: In this case, I need to create a distribution tarball without gnulib and PO from network. Furthermore, "obs_scm" service doesn't create a full Git clone; so in my example - GNU hello, for simplicity - I needed to add a hack to be able to create the manpage. The idea is: a) let _service get the package from the remote Git repo. (unfortunately, this yields the working tree without the '.git/' history). b) let _service download the PO files --> "SourceXY". c) GNU hello specific: manpage creating is usually only done in maintainer environment, i.e., with a '.git/' directory. Add a little patch to work around it. d) in '%prep'', copy the PO files into the build tree. e) in '%build', create the LINGUAS file. f) in %build: f.1) create the intermediate distribution tarball using: ./bootstrap ... && ./configure && make all dist f.2) create the final build from the above distribution tarball: tar -xf ... && ./configure && make Does anybody else do something like that?
