Build of lite branch fails in ./merge_upstream.sh with fatal: 'upstream' does not appear to be a git repository; forall_repos add_upstream prints Don't know upstream repo for https://github.com/SchildiChat/schildichat-desktop.git. | Can you provide prebuilt binaries?

Ahoj,

I try to build the "lite" branch of schildichat-desktop.

According to it's README.md, I should do, after cloning,

source merge_helpers.sh
forall_repos add_upstream
./merge_upstream.sh

However, forall_repos add_upstream does print four times Don't know upstream repo for https://github.com/SchildiChat/schildichat-desktop.git, and subsequent ./merge_upstream.sh fails with fatal: 'upstream' does not appear to be a git repository.

I try to run:

git clone https://github.com/SchildiChat/schildichat-desktop.git
cd schildichat-desktop
git checkout lite
source merge_helpers.sh
forall_repos add_upstream
./merge_upstream.sh

Full output of forall_repos add_upstream:

Don't know upstream repo for https://github.com/SchildiChat/schildichat-desktop.git
Don't know upstream repo for https://github.com/SchildiChat/schildichat-desktop.git

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

Can you provide prebuilt binaries, since self-compilation seems to be troublesome?

Did you maybe forget to git clone with --recurse-submodules?
Though the branch is quite alpha, so it can happen it's not buildable in its current state. We'll probably consider prebuilt binaries once we have at least some of the Schildi theme back.

You were right.

Now, ./merge_upstream.sh errors with

error: pathspec 'v1.11.77' did not match any file(s) known to git

How to get reliable build of the current state of work?

As I said, it's alpha, so no, we're not at the point of a "reliable build" yet.
