The subtree Makefile is a disaster when it comes to packaging. I'd rather get some upstream fixes in first; this is taking way longer to incorporate into the PKGBUILD than it should becuase it doesn't respect DESTDIR, gitexecdir, etc.

@toolfishes: I agree.

Alizera did you contact upstream to fix it?

However, I got zero response...

In the meantime I created a pkgbuild for the subtree module:

If anyone wants to reach out again upstream to get this fixed, please do, but I'm done waiting on it.

The PKGBUILD from [0] looks good.
Is it still a problem?

I'd second this, the linked PKGBUILD seems to work fine. Any chance of getting this into extra/git ?

Anything new about this?

I understand that upstream should fix this but this is so easy to fix in the PKGBUILD that I don't really see why we can't workaround the problem in the meanwhile.

Hi,

please look to this patch. Its based on mtorromeo's pkgbuild but integrated into your PKGBUILD file.

A re-spin of Dan's patch has been merged into upstream, and to my understanding will be in 2.0:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/248216/focus=248254
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/248641/match=subtree (CTRL-F "jd/subtree", in "Cooking")

This patch allows subtree to be made with the following:

`make -C contrib/subtree prefix=/usr gitexecdir=/usr/lib/git-core all doc`

And installed with the following:

`make -C contrib/subtree prefix=/usr gitexecdir=/usr/lib/git-core DESTDIR="$pkgdir" install install-doc`

Which, of course, roughly approximates the make calls for git core.

EDIT: My bad, turns out these aren't going to be in 2.0.
