New comment by Newchair2644 on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/49689#issuecomment-2033417320 Comment: The patch is there because the build system sets the version number based on the Git info, so it expects Git history, which is obviously not part of a release tarball. I instead cloned the repository, ran the respective git commands, then hard-coded the strings.
