Our git download backend switches the remote of our local clone, and fetches all refs and tags from that remote. When the local clone has a tag fetched from another remote, and the new remote also has a tag by the same name, and that tag points to another commit, then git refuses to fetch the new tag and exits in error, as it considers that the new tag would clobber the existing one. This is safe and sane behaviour when run interactively with a human that can take a decision. However, in our case, we don't care about any tags that were present before, as only the last one makes sense in our case: the one from the remote the user has requested for the current build. Tell git to forcefully pull tags, even if they would clobber existing ones. Note that, although this changes the git backend, it does not change the content of generated archives, so we do not need to bump the suffix version. Signed-off-by: Yann E.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on OFTC IRC. If you would like to contribute patches, please read https://buildroot.org/manual.html#submitting-patches
