This was a problem when run inside a sandbox, e.g. via
"fetchRepoProject". The error message from repo seems unrelated:
fatal: Cannot get https://gerrit.googlesource.com/git-repo/clone.bundle
fatal: error no host given
But the exception is actually thrown due to missing certificates
(/etc/ssl/certs). It should be possible to provide another location via
environment variables (e.g. SSL_CERT_FILE, REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE or
CURL_CA_BUNDLE) but apparently that doesn't actually work for some
reason (would have to study our Python packaging).
Now "fetchRepoProject" works without the "--no-clone-bundle" option.
The newer DEB packages have a setuid file, creating an error when
unpacking the source during the build phase.
As dpkg doesn't have a way to pass parameters to tar, dpkg is then
told to just extract the filesystem tar file and that is unpacked by
tar directly.
Fixes#28494
* pkgs: refactor needless quoting of homepage meta attribute
A lot of packages are needlessly quoting the homepage meta attribute
(about 1400, 22%), this commit refactors all of those instances.
* pkgs: Fixing some links that were wrongfully unquoted in the previous
commit
* Fixed some instances
Several git commands are implemented as shell scripts that run awk, sed, grep
and perl. There is some existing patching in the postinstall for perl to rewrite
it to an absolute reference to pkgs.perl, but several other packages are both
missing as a dependency and have no rewrite logic.
In particular git filter-branch depends on sed and grep.
Additionally, the perl logic also seds git-am, which is now a binary not a shell
script anymore (see <github.com/git/git/blob/master/builtin/am.c>), so this part
was obsolete.
I tested this by grepping all shell scripts for the relevant commands and then
comparing the diffs of the new version to what is produced in master. All
changes in the scripts seem good to me.
