[archived] Building Syncthing

[calmh (Jakob Borg)]

Synthing uses 'git version' command even for a tarball

I’m trying to write a ebuild for syncthing in Gentoo. The problem is the ebuild downloads a tarball (not a git master), and build.go tries to run ‘git version’ in version() function. Which fails, since there is no local git repository. And which fails the entire build.
