sha256 of a git repository

[alexbodn]

hello friends,
i wish to build a package based, in the beginning, on the content of a git repository.
this seems to work, with TERMUX_PKG_SRCURL set to my git url.
however, TERMUX_PKG_SHA256 is still requested, and i don't know how to calculate it, since a repo is not a file.
is there any means to bypass the sha256 requirement for repositories?

If the TERMUX_PKG_SRCURL is a git URL TERMUX_PKG_SHA256 is not used.

termux-packages/scripts/build/get_source/termux_step_get_source.sh

Lines 4 to 5 in 75850a4

	if [ "${TERMUX_PKG_SRCURL:0:4}" == "git+" ]; then
	termux_git_clone_src

Git source URLs should have a git+ prefix to be identified as such.
See LuaJIT as an example.

termux-packages/packages/libluajit/build.sh

Line 6 in 75850a4

TERMUX_PKG_SRCURL=git+https://github.com/LuaJIT/LuaJIT.git

termux_git_clone_src is implemented here.

termux-packages/scripts/build/get_source/termux_git_clone_src.sh

Lines 1 to 45 in 75850a4

	termux_git_clone_src() {
	local TMP_CHECKOUT=$TERMUX_PKG_CACHEDIR/tmp-checkout
	local TMP_CHECKOUT_VERSION=$TERMUX_PKG_CACHEDIR/tmp-checkout-version
	if [ ! -f $TMP_CHECKOUT_VERSION ] || [ "$(cat $TMP_CHECKOUT_VERSION)" != "$TERMUX_PKG_VERSION" ]; then
	if [ "$TERMUX_PKG_GIT_BRANCH" == "" ]; then
	TERMUX_PKG_GIT_BRANCH=v${TERMUX_PKG_VERSION#*:}
	fi
	rm -rf $TMP_CHECKOUT
	git clone --depth 1 \
	--branch $TERMUX_PKG_GIT_BRANCH \
	${TERMUX_PKG_SRCURL:4} \
	$TMP_CHECKOUT
	pushd $TMP_CHECKOUT
	# Workaround some bad server behaviour
	# error: Server does not allow request for unadvertised object commit_no
	# fatal: Fetched in submodule 'submodule_path', but it did not contain commit_no. Direct fetching of that commit failed.
	if ! git submodule update --init --recursive --depth=1; then
	local depth=10
	local maxdepth=100
	sleep 1
	while :; do
	echo "WARN: Retrying with max depth $depth"
	if git submodule update --init --recursive --depth=$depth; then
	break
	fi
	if [[ "$depth" -gt "$maxdepth" ]]; then
	termux_error_exit "Failed to clone submodule"
	fi
	depth=$((depth+10))
	sleep 1
	done
	fi
	popd
	echo "$TERMUX_PKG_VERSION" > $TMP_CHECKOUT_VERSION
	fi
	rm -rf $TERMUX_PKG_SRCDIR
	cp -Rf $TMP_CHECKOUT $TERMUX_PKG_SRCDIR
	}

^{(This function could probably use a rewrite, but I just rewrote the license installation step and I don't feel like breaking prod twice in one week.)}
