Description Martin Mokrejš 2015-03-11 20:33:14 UTC

I am not skilled with ebuild writing but for teh purpose of sci-biology/freebayes (in sci overlay) I need to checkout a whole project with linked other repositories:

    EGIT_REPO_URI="git://github.com/ekg/freebayes.git"
    EGIT_OPTIONS="--recursive --recurse-submodules"

This does not give me a complete tree.


If I try in my shell:

git clone --recursive git://github.com/ekg/freebayes.git

the above command gives me complete tree. Please see what am I doing wrong in the ebuild if you disagree.

Note that git-2 is deprecated in favour of git-r3.

Use git-r3.eclass instead
