Since configure uses git-version-gen which in turn depends on "git describe" or a .tarball-version file, raw archives generated by "git archive" cannot be built. * .gitattributes: New file. * README-github_gitlab-autogenerated-archives.txt: Likewise.

github/gitlab autogenerated archives are not supported

======================================================
|
|
|
|
This information applies to bundles automatically generated
|
|
by github and gitlab.
|
|
|
|
strace's program version is maintained using git-version-gen script, therefore,
|
|
building strace depends on "git describe" (a full git clone is needed for this)
|
|
or, alternatively, a .tarball-version file. Neither github nor gitlab can
|
|
provide the latter, they also do not allow to inject a .tarball-version file
|
|
during export archiving.
