From 90fc8ad3c38bbf87ca4514db456c34c2196cfce9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mohammad Akhlaghi Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2019 10:39:05 +0000 Subject: Updated fork of metastore allows building on macOS I recently found another fork of metastore that allows its build on macOS systems (https://github.com/mpctx/metastore). So I forked it into my own fork with several other corrections (mostly cosmetic!), so it is now much better suited for this pipeline. Raul Infante-Sainz has already tested the building of metastore on his macOS. In a previous test, we also noticed that libbsd should not be built on Mac systems, so it is now a conditional prerequisite to metastore. --- reproduce/src/make/dependencies.mk | 22 +++++++++++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 19 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'reproduce/src/make/dependencies.mk') diff --git a/reproduce/src/make/dependencies.mk b/reproduce/src/make/dependencies.mk index 1cc2b00..4610226 100644 --- a/reproduce/src/make/dependencies.mk +++ b/reproduce/src/make/dependencies.mk @@ -354,10 +354,26 @@ $(ibdir)/git: $(tdir)/git-$(git-version).tar.xz \ --without-tcltk --with-shell=$(ibdir)/bash, \ V=1) -# Metastore is used to keep file modification dates (and generally many -# meta-data) within the Git history. +# Metastore is used (through a Git hook) to restore the source modification +# dates of files after a Git checkout.
