cannot build 4.6.1

[stapelberg]

As 4.6.1 is the latest version with working PXE boot on the apu2c4 (I mailed support@pcengines.ch about it yesterday), I wanted to customize that image.

Unfortunately, building 4.6.1 fails:

% ./build.sh release v4.6.1 apu2

Note: checking out 'v4.6.1'.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:

  git checkout -b <new-branch-name>

@stapelberg please refer to https://github.com/pcengines/apu2-documentation#building-firmware-using-pc-engines-firmware-builder

It says: For releases older than v4.0.17 and v4.6.9 use the procedure described in this document

[stapelberg]

Thanks! Maybe the build tool could check the version and print an error message, so that other people don’t miss it like I did? :)

[pietrushnic]

@stapelberg good point. @miczyg1 let's add that check in new release.

[pietrushnic]

@stapelberg @miczyg1 added support for that checks: https://github.com/pcengines/pce-fw-builder/pull/12

[stapelberg]

Great, thanks! Maybe the error message could contain a pointer to the guide for older versions?

[pietrushnic]

@stapelberg URLs are likely to change if there will be more requests for this problem we will consider that.
