[SOLVED] [linux-armv7] ignored files prevent git apply

[mazze1200]

Hello everybody,

I'm facing the problem that makepkg does not apply patches in the src directory correctly.

To reproduce I did the following:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'git pull https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs # clean pull')
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'cd PKGBUILDs/core/linux-armv7')
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'makepkg -so')
Test if the file src/linux-4.2/firmware/am335x-pm-firmware.elf exists (on my system the file does not). This file should have been created by file patch-4.2-armv7-x2.diff.gz

After some testing I found out that the file seems to be tracked by the git repository and git patch does not alter tracked files $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'git check-ignore src/linux-4.2/firmware/am335x-pm-firmware.elf')

Can somebody verify this behaviour or tell me what I was doing wrong?

Regards,
Mathias

don't build inside the checkout, and you should be okay. Checkout, copy the dir, makechrootpkg

D'oh

That is something I've missed in the tutorials obviously.

Thanks a lot!
