#2521: RSB cannot build RTEMS 4.9 (part 2) (includes a fix)
---------------------+-------------------------
 Reporter:  goetzpf  |      Owner:  chrisj
     Type:  defect   |     Status:  new
 Priority:  normal   |  Milestone:  4.9.5
Component:  RSB      |    Version:  4.9
 Severity:  normal   |   Keywords:  4.9 RSB git
---------------------+-------------------------
 The RTEMS resource builder cannot build RTEMS 4.9 (4.9.6 to be specific)
 due to the way it calls git.

 In file rtems/config/tools/rtems-kernel-4-1.cfg it is specified that a
 specific version of the RTEMS kernel is checked out with "git checkout
 [branch or tag]". After this a "git pull" is performed. This fails if the
 version that was checked out was a tag and not a branch.

 I propose to remove "git pull" here. If we want to have a specific version
 of the RTEMS kernel with a tag, a "git pull" even if it worked, would mean
 that we no longer had the tagged version. If we want to have the latest
 RTEMS kernel version from a branch we should create extra *.bset files
 (e.g. 4.9-latest/rtems-powerpc.bset).

 I have added a patch RSB to this ticket.
