Description

Currently it's impossible to build release from source without cloning source repository including submodules:

  • Archive attached to release doesn't include submodules
  • version.py script requires git metadata to be available

Are there plans to fix this?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to include submodule sources in the release archive and provide version info without git metadata. Look into tools like 'git archive all' or manually bundling submodules. Also consider using `cmake D` to set version variables.
