[Buildroot] Clone source code recursively

[Zygmunt Ptak]

Hi,

I can't find how can I clone code recursively from git repository.
Is it possible at all?

I found interested lines in: support/download/git
But I don't know how to set recursive method in .mk file.

Regards
Zygmunt

The official manual references the last release, so all that has been
added in not visible in there.

You can browse the "nightly" manual that has the necessary information.
Just Choose "Nightly" instead of "stable" when selecting the manual to
browse.

There it is:
    http://nightly.buildroot.org/#generic-package-reference

Then, search for LIBFOO_GIT_SUBMODULES.

Once 2016.08 is released, this will be part of the official, stable
manual. ;-)

Yann E. MORIN.

What do you call "recursively"? Are you talking about also fetching
submodules? If that's what you're talking about, we recently added
support for that:

  https://git.buildroot.org/buildroot/commit/package/pkg-generic.mk?id=ec3e057f79117d851c37f19316a3b9b5e2470550

You just need to add:

  FOO_GIT_SUBMODULES = YES

in your package .mk file.

Exactly.
