The current release can be build from
git clone
sources because runninggit rev-parse HEAD
at build time works, but it fails to build from an archive tarball such as is generated by GitHub when you download the source link on a release and generated withgit archive
.This fixes that by first checking an env var that a user can set by using
export TAR_COMMIT_ID=$(git get-tar-commit-id <package>.tar.gz)
. It isn't a pancea and requires some intervention, but at least it makes it possible to build without a patch, etc.
