Master branch patch
Hello,
The support/download/git script is generating tar files from git repositories
using the following command :
# Create GNU-format tarballs, since that's the format of the tarballs on
# sources.buildroot.org and used in the *.hash files
tar cf - --transform="s#^\./#${basename}/#" \
--numeric-owner --owner=0 --group=0 --mtime="${date}" --format=gnu \
-T "${output}.list.sorted" >"${output}.tar"
In one of our repository, the --transform option is generating unusable tar
files because of the bug described here :
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=775247
Links with the following pattern src/foo -> ./foo_bar/bar are replaced with
src/foo -> ${basename}/foo_bar/bar and thus the generated tarball is not
usable.
As explained in the debian bug report, adding the S flag to the transform
pattern (i.e. --transform="s#^\./#${basename}/#" =>
--transform="s#^\./#${basename}/#S") solves this issue.
Attaching the corresponding patches for master and 2020.02.x branches
Regards.
