Bug 152615 – git.eclass uses deprecated git-tar-tree

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Avuton Olrich 2006-10-23 19:01:59 UTC]

Used in the git-eclass:

 *    committish: master
*** git-tar-tree is now deprecated.
*** Running git-archive instead.
*** 'git-archive' '--format=tar' 'master'

Just a FYI, thanks.

Well, the diff is obviously simple enough.

And that will fail horribly for people running stable, so we have to keep it that way for a while.

I'll leave this one open and assigned to me so I remember to fix it once the 1.4.3 series goes to stable.

Thanks anyway.

Once bug #159822 is resolved, we can high the dependency on git.eclass and start using git-archive instead of git-tar-tree.

git-1.5* is stable on all arches, only mips has 1.4* that want the new command too.

Acording to git, archive was introduced after 1.4.2, they have 1.4.1.1 stabled, so this will have to wait. Unless I'm missing something.

It is not such a big deal, since the old way still works perfectly.

Thanks for reminding me, though :)
