[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] configure: add sanity check to catch builds from "git archive"
Posted by Daniel P. Berrangé 6 years ago 
The "git archive" feature creates tarballs which are missing all
submodule content. GitHub unhelpfully provides users with "Download"
links that claim to give them valid source release tarballs. These
GitHub archives will not be buildable as they are created by the
"git archive" feature and so are missing content. The user gets
unhelpful messages from make such as:

  fatal error: ui/input-keymap-atset1-to-qcode.c: No such file or directory

By adding a sanity check we can give users an informative message about
what they've done wrong.

tested with https://github.com/philmd/qemu/archive/github_notag.tar.gz

    github_notag$ ./configure

    ERROR: missing file ./ui/keycodemapdb/README

    This is not a GIT checkout but module content appears to
    be missing. Do not use 'git archive' or GitHub download links
    to acquire QEMU source archives. Non-GIT builds are only
    supported with source archives linked from:

     https://www.qemu.org/download/

    Developers working with GIT can use scripts/archive-source.sh
    if they need to create valid source archives.

Opps, forgot to CC Paolo on this patch for the "misc" queue.
