Hi all, When the source tarball is from a GitHub repository, part of the commit SHA1 forms the first level of the extracted directory tree. This leads to a non-deterministic tree in $srcdir At the moment I deal with this by using noextract() and manually extracting the tarball within build() using --strip-components=1 which you can see in [1]. (Arguably it should perhaps happen in prepare() but that's a separate discussion). Does anyone have any better ways to deal with these tarballs?
