Fix source packaging

I don't think this will do it, you need to run premake embed after you check out the sources to generate scripts.c. Unless I'm missing something?

You also probably didn't intend to delete .gitattributes, I assume…

I stand corrected, source package is working fine now. But .gitattributes needs to be restored.

Sorry about the lack of context.

embed was already called before the package creation here:

premake-core/scripts/package.lua

Lines 155 to 164 in e4d8121

	--
	-- Make absolutely sure the embedded scripts have been updated
	--
	print("Updating embedded scripts...")
	local z = execQuiet("%s embed %s", premakeBin, iif(kind == "source", "", "--bytecode"))
	if not z then
	error("failed to update the embedded scripts", 0)
	end

When I changed this script before, I removed the dependency on zip and used git archive instead but files needs to be tracked to be included in the package and I forgot to add scripts.c.

You also probably didn't intend to delete .gitattributes, I assume…

It was intended. I added gitattributes to ignore some file on git archive.
I changed the way to ignore files in this PR as github also use git archive when you choose to download the repo instead of cloning it.
Also, it makes more sense to centralize the information about which file is ignored/added to the package.

As .gitattributes would be empty after this, I simply deleted it.

Thanks for the clarification. I thought we had added a .gitattributes ages ago…I'm certainly losing track of things. Approving…
