Subject: [alpine-devel] How to handle regular git/svn builds
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

Perhaps I missed something obvious but I haven't yet come across
an example of an APKBUILD pulling source from git or svn repos.

ATM I do this with Archlinux by using a non-standard getsource()
function in the PKGBUILD. I don't want to use the standard way
for two reasons, a) it needlessly self modifies the $pkgver
variable in the PKGBUILD and b) expects to pull the git/svn
source into $srcdir rather than my preferred $SRCDEST.

The implications of a) is that every PKGBUILD is changed with
every build so when it comes time to commit the source package
changes then EVERY package is going to have a be committed even
though it's only a redundant $pkgver variable update that is
not even used. It just creates useless git log noise.

I solve this problem by using $pkgrel=$(date -u +%Y%m%d%H) which
dynamically updates that field and allows me to build unique
packages multiple times per day without modifying the PKGBUILD.

The second b) point is that I have about 20Gb of cloned and checked
out sources and there is no way I want all that bulk intermixed
in with my source packages.

Anyway, this works but I'm wondering what any official thoughts
about handling this might be?
