Looks like ALL the tags are gone :-( When I try and push them I'm getting an unpack error. I think that recreating the repo may be easier than getting into the magic of git repair commands. If I have to redo this I'll post another message here before I do.
I'm going to have to work on this more. I'm getting an error when I try and push the tags to github but it all works locally using file specs. When I look at the object it is complaining about I don't see the missing space it's complaining about.
No problem! Git can be a bear. :)
This looks like one of those "this was always broken and now we fixed it" things. The tags from when they converted to git were broken but until now they still unpacked properly, so on the older repo they pushed fine but when creating this new repo they bombed out, I ended up deleting all pre 2005 tags an it looks like the rest of the tags are there now.
I don't think this will cause any problems for the pba.
Portage away......
@boldandbusted Is it necessary to keep the tags in sync for your packaging? Put another way would it be best for you if I always tagged syslinux and sedutil the same? The syslinux repo will not be updated nearly as often as sedutil but I can tag it the same if required.
That would make things quite easy on my end. I'd never have to worry about 'hard-coding' a specific version of syslinux while packaging msed.
Thanks!

Howdy. I'm working on packaging msed (and, therefore, 'syslinux') for Gentoo. It's a bit easier on us if you create a tagged release of the 'syslinux' package so that some of our automagic versioned downloads can work. As an example, we have built-in constructs in Portage like so:
https://github.com/Drive-Trust-Alliance/sedutil/releases/download/${P}.tar.gz
Where ${P} is the version of the release. I'd like to do something similar for the PBA Syslinux stuffs, and, us being Gentoo, we of course prefer to compile it. :)
Thanks! Please let me know if I've left out important details.
