The +# build process runs a script (contrib/scripts/nm-copr-build.sh) that fetches the git +# repository (and we cannot just do a shallow copy -- only for the stupid reason +# that the automatic version number counts all the commits in the HEAD's history). +# NetworkManager's git repository is relatively large so fetching it over and over +# is wasteful. The idea is to have a recent git-bundle of the repository, which is +# hosted close-by in the copr infrastructure. So the build script first tries to +# download the bundle to get the bulk of the git history, before doing additional +# fetches from the upstream repository. +# From time to time, a new bundle has to be generated in copr. set -ex |
