Hi,

We started seeing the failure below in rc7.
We narrowed it down to your patches:

3c65a2704cdd kbuild: do not create intermediate *.tar for tar packages
f8d94++c4e403c kbuild: do not create intermediate *.tar for source tarballs
f6d8283549bc kbuild: merge cmd_archive_linux and cmd_archive_perf
aa7d233f45b4 kbuild: give up untracked files for source package builds

Can you please take a look and advise?

Regards,
Tariq
