Description yeoh ee peng 2018-12-13 06:45:15 UTC
During using oe-git-archive, we discovered that it failed when running it without installing gitpython package to /usr/bin/python3

Steps to reproduce the error:

Step 01: source oe-init-build-env

Step 02: run oe-git-archive
oe-git-archive <file dir to archive> -g <dir to git archive> -b <git branch>

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/<user>/poky/scripts/oe-git-archive", line 271, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "/home/<user>/poky/scripts/oe-git-archive", line 229, in main
    'commit_count': metadata['layers']['meta']['commit_count'],
KeyError: 'commit_count'

When the needed python package was not available, it shall exit with meaningful message to remind user to install the needed python package.
