*	kbuild: give up untracked files for source package builds	Masahiro Yamada	2023-04-11	1	-35/+27
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	When the source tree is dirty and contains untracked files, package builds may fail, for example, when a broken symlink exists, a file path contains whitespaces, etc. Since commit 05e96e96a315 ("kbuild: use git-archive for source package creation"), the source tarball only contains committed files because it is created by 'git archive'. scripts/package/gen-diff-patch tries to address the diff from HEAD, but including untracked files by the hand-crafted script introduces more complexity. I wrote a patch [1] to make it work in most cases, but still wonder if this is what we should aim for. To simplify the code, this patch just gives up untracked files. Going forward, it is your responsibility to do 'git add' for what you want in the source package. The script shows a warning just in case you forgot to do so. It should be checked only when building source packages.

*	kbuild: use git-archive for source package creation	Masahiro Yamada	2023-03-16	1	-0/+44
	Commit 5c3d1d0abb12 ("kbuild: add a tool to list files ignored by git") added a new tool, scripts/list-gitignored. My intention was to create source packages without cleaning the source tree, without relying on git. Linus strongly objected to it, and suggested using 'git archive' instead. [1] [2] [3] This commit goes in that direction - Remove scripts/list-gitignored.c and rewrites Makefiles and scripts to use 'git archive' for building Debian and RPM source packages. It also makes 'make perf-tar-src-pkg' use 'git archive' again. Going forward, building source packages is only possible in a git-managed tree. Building binary packages does not require git.
