[PATCH] kbuild: fix package build error due to broken symlinks

From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Sat Mar 25 2023 - 10:19:35 EST


'make deb-pkg' and 'make rpm-pkg' fail if a broken symlink exists in
a dirty source tree. Handle symlinks properly, and also, keep the
executable permission.

Fixes: 05e96e96a315 ("kbuild: use git-archive for source package creation")
