A number of packages try to detect if they are running in a git repo and run
git describe at build time instead of using the hard coded version number if
it succeed, leading to odd version numbers as they end up picking up the
Buildroot git version if building inside a Buildroot git checkout, E.G.:
rauc --version
rauc 2023.11-562-g9c954953b4+
This is because rauc builds with meson and uses vcs_tag:
https://github.com/rauc/rauc/blob/v1.11/meson.build#L168-L171
https://mesonbuild.com/Reference-manual_functions.html#vcs_tag
Another example is micropython, where we already work around it by passing
GIT_DIR=.
In the context of Buildroot the packages are never built in their own git
checkout, so pass GIT_DIR=. to ensure git doesn't walk back up the
directory tree and finds the Buildroot git repo, which fixes the rauc (and
similar) issues.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on OFTC IRC. If you would like to contribute patches, please read https://buildroot.org/manual.html#submitting-patches
