I'm not asking you to make another change in upstream git. You've told us the workaround (gitexecdir=/usr/bin), and that workaround is no longer going to be deprecated, which is great. It's just up to us to ensure that we use that workaround when we build git for ourselves, and to ensure that our distributions also build packages using that workaround. Since I believe you're building the git packages used on kernel.org, I was just asking you to apply the workaround when you build _those_ packages, that's all. -- David Woodhouse Open Source Technology Centre David.Woodhouse@intel.com Intel Corporation
