I'd say that submodules usually mean bundling and since bundling is
prohibited, there is little reason to document how to work with submodules.

I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle the situation
where a
project decides to use submodules in Git. The archive generated
doesn't incorporate the submodule files.
I've done some searching on this, and haven't really come up with much.
I've reviewed: Packaging:Github
<
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:SourceURL?rd=Packaging/SourceURL...
; but that really doesn't address the submodule issue.
I looked through some packages that are currently in the Fedora
repository and found where a few folks have rebuilt the tarball and
referenced that version as the Source in the spec file; then they put
in a comment stating:
The source of this package was pulled from upstreams' vcs. Use the
following
commands to generate the tarball:
...
- git clone
...
- git submodule init
- git submodule update
...
This approach is the best that I've found. Any other suggestions?
Thanks much!
