Ubuntu 22.04 64 bit x86_64 build-Untracked files nothing added-Use git add file

Added by Jonas Lang almost 2 years ago

Using the following command to build the above

AUTOBUILD_CONFIGURE_EXTRA=--enable-libffmpeg_static\ --enable-vaapi\ --enable-trace\ --enable-debug ./Autobuild.sh

the following is reported

OS identified using lsb_release command

On branch master
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.

Untracked files:
(use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
debian/.debhelper/

nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)

From what I can see i'm being asked to git add <file> which I assume is debian/ .debhelper/ I haven't noticed this request before.Has there been a change to the git recently that would prompt this request. The latest commit built fine but according to this message nothing was added.

You created that file (most likely while building) and now it's telling you that you could theoretically commit it. Either delete it or don't worry about it.

Thanks for the reply. That’s interesting. I don’t see where I issued an instruction to build that file. Assuming I did want to include that file what instruction will I need to issue to include it.

It most likely got automatically created. As you are not planning to commit that file you shouldn't include it (that's for contributing that file to the project), but if you wanted to you would "git add debian/.debhelper/", then do "git commit" and explain what your change does (for example "include a useless file that shouldn't be there" ;) ), then you fork the project on github as you don't have write permissions to the "real" Tvheadend project, then you add your fork as upstream source and then you can "git push" and create a PR on GitHub.
