Bug ID: 11061
Summary: support/download: git version=master broken
Product: buildroot
Version: 2018.05
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5
Component: Other
Assignee: unassigned at buildroot.uclibc.org
Reporter: posted at heine.so
CC: buildroot at uclibc.org
Target Milestone: ---

Hi,

since the latest rework in the git downloader component setting the version to the 'master' branch is not working anymore.

The error I see:

Could not fetch special ref 'master'; assuming it is not special. Commit 'master' does not exist in this repository

using another branch is working fine. If I use another branch first and then change the package to master it is switching the branch just fine and builds.

I tried some analysis:

When I use the command from [1] I get:

Quoted 1 line

git fetch origin master:master

fatal: Refusing to fetch into current branch refs/heads/master of non-bare repository
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Quoted 1 line

git rev-parse --verify "master^{commit}"

fatal: Needed a single revision

So there seems to be a clash between the local master and the remote master in this case.
As said before, all this works when I first start the repo creation with another branch and then switch to master.

Regards,
Michael

--- Comment #1 from Ricardo Martincoski <[email protected]> --- As stated in the manual, Buildroot does not support it: "Do not use a branch name as version; it does not work"

If some uses of branch do work it's only by change. It can stop work at any new release.
