Hi Team,

I am building neard recipe. And neard recipe fetching source code from " https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/network/nfc ".
https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/network/nfc/neard-0.16.tar.gz

In this tar file few plugins (eg. tizen) and tests scripts (eg. Test-channel,test-see,neard-ui.py,ndef-agent etc) are missing.

I observed that,all missing files are present in below tar file.
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/nfc/neard.git/snapshot/neard-0.16.tar.gz

Is there any specific reason to fetch the neard source from https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/network/nfc/neard-0.16.tar.gz insteed of "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/nfc/neard.git/snapshot/neard-0.16.tar.gz"

If community is okay then i can propose the patch by modifying the SRC-URI in neard recipe.

Thanks in advane
Rahul Kumar

The /snapshot/ tarball is dynamically generated so checksums can and
will change over time.  If the tarball is incomplete then start by
telling upstream that they are missing files in the tarball, and
switch the recipe until the tarball is fixed to doing a proper git
clone.

Dear Ross,

Thanks For your Quick response.

As per your Recommendation, I have sent a mail to "linux-nfc@lists.01.org" and inform that below tarball is incomplete.
https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/network/nfc/neard-0.16.tar.gz

and request, to upload the correct tarball or is there any specific reason of the missing files.

If you are okay, I will release a patch to do a proper git clone instead of fetching tarball until tarball is fixed.

Please confirm!

Thanks & Regards
Rahul Kumar
