Hi,
I'm packaging a PHP library [1] that is hosted on GitHub and has a .gitattributes file that uses export-ignore to not make the test suite directory part of the archive. As I want to run the unit tests in %check during package build, this is a bit of a problem. I see two approaches:
1. ask upstream to remove test suite directory from .gitattributes (probably won't work); 2. git clone the source and make my own archive after throwing away .gitattributes
Maybe there is a better way I don't know about yet :-)
Thanks, François
