[ELDK] Problems rebuilding ELDK-4.1 from scratch (RCS keyword expansion)

Dear "J.T. Conklin",

That's OK.

That's OK, too.

Which strings are you talking about? I really cannot reproduce this
here. In your previous posting you mentioned for example file
"target_rpms/mtd_utils/SOURCES/mtd_utils-2.6.19.patch", but this does
not exist in the top-of tree commit (ELDK_4_2_ARM-9-gbd6802d):

-> ls -l target_rpms/mtd-utils/SOURCES/
total 24
-rw-r--r-- 1 wd users 3072 Mar 18 21:53 mtd-utils-gcc4.patch
-rw-r--r-- 1 wd users 3450 Mar 18 21:53 mtd-utils-jffs2updated-gcc4.patch
-rw-r--r-- 1 wd users 6830 Mar 18 21:53 mtd-utils-jffs2updated.patch
-rw-r--r-- 1 wd users  357 Mar 18 21:53 mtd-utils-kern26.patch
-rw-r--r-- 1 wd users  542 Mar 18 21:53 mtd-utils.patch

nor does it in ELDK_4_1:

-> ls -l target_rpms/mtd-utils/SOURCES/
ls: cannot access target_rpms/mtd-utils/SOURCES/: No such file or directory


You must make something different / additional...

Are you working on a Linux host? Which version of git (git --version)
are you running?

Note: I'm also hanging around in #denx at irc.freenode.org ...

Best regards,
