Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.01.0906091323520.6439@bogon> Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2009 13:30:18 -0700 (PDT) From: Christian Kujau <lists@...dbynature.de> To: LKML <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> cc: nico-linuxsetlocalversion@...ottelius.org Subject: [PATCH] scripts/setlocalversion on readonly source Hi, I'm building kernels with O=/some/dir and at some point scripts/setlocalversion is being called, doing: + git update-index --refresh --unmerged fatal: Unable to create '.git/index.lock': Read-only file system Not only does it throw this error but it takes quite a long time to run, only to fail anyway because the kernel source dir is located on a read-only NFS mount. The following patch makes the error go away: --- linux-2.6-git/scripts/setlocalversion 2009-05-29 07:14:34.746191990 +0200 +++ /home/dummy/tmp/scripts/setlocalversion.edited 2009-06-09 22:20:29.000000000 +0200 @@ -39,8 +39,8 @@ printf -- '-svn%s' "`git svn find-rev $head`" fi - # Are there uncommitted changes? - git update-index --refresh --unmerged > /dev/null + # Are there uncommitted changes?
