kbuild: use git-archive for source package creationCommit 5c3d1d0abb12 ("kbuild: add a tool to list files ignored by git")added a new tool, scripts/list-gitignored. My intention was to createsource packages without cleaning the source tree, without relying on git.Linus strongly objected to it, and suggested using 'git archive' instead.[1] [2] [3]This commit goes in that direction - Remove scripts/list-gitignored.cand rewrites Makefiles and scripts to use 'git archive' for buildingDebian and RPM source packages. It also makes 'make perf-tar*-src-pkg'use 'git archive' again.Going forward, building source packages is only possible in a git-managedtree. Building binary packages does not require git.[1]: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHk-=wi49sMaC7vY1yMagk7eqLK=1jHeHQ=yZ_k45P=xBccnmA@mail.gmail.com/[2]: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHk-=wh5AixGsLeT0qH2oZHKq0FLUTbyTw4qY921L=PwYgoGVw@mail.gmail.com/[3]: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHk-=wgM-W6Fu==EoAVCabxyX8eYBz9kNC88-tm9ExRQwA79UQ@mail.gmail.com/Fixes: 5c3d1d0abb12 ("kbuild: add a tool to list files ignored by git")Fixes: e0ca16749ac3 ("kbuild: make perf-tar*-src-pkg work without relying on git")Suggested-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada List of files: /linux-6.15/scripts/check-git
