Description Raboo 2012-03-11 14:01:47 UTC 
I wanna create rpms from the source, latest stable tarball.

[root@virtual ovirt-engine]# make rpm
tar zcf ovirt-engine-3.0.0_0001.tar.gz `git ls-files`
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
tar: Cowardly refusing to create an empty archive
Try `tar --help' or `tar --usage' for more information.
make: *** [ovirt-engine-3.0.0_0001.tar.gz] Error 2

[root@virtual ovirt-engine]# make srpm
tar zcf ovirt-engine-3.0.0_0001.tar.gz `git ls-files`
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
tar: Cowardly refusing to create an empty archive
Try `tar --help' or `tar --usage' for more information.
make: *** [ovirt-engine-3.0.0_0001.tar.gz] Error 2

Problem is I did not fetch ovirt git repo.
Shouldn't tar populate the files it should tar in some other way perhaps?

`git ls-files` is the best option so far.
If you'd like to create new rpm, you probably want to use git.
