[Slackbuilds-users] ceph package git question

[fsLeg]

What about cases where the build process relies on the source tree being a proper git repo as it uses commit history? I have a couple of things (namely, dart-sdk and deltachat-desktop) I can't submit because of this, and I have no desire to tarball the entire git tree.

This is based on something I saw in one of Pat's scripts and it works very well. This one doesn't check out submodules but you easily add that like the get-obs-studio.sh script does.
