Hello,
Please just try adding an option for fetch target to do this:
post-extract:
cd ${WRKSRC} && \
git submodule update --init --recursive
You should not need all the other things such as:
post-extract:
cd ${WRKSRC} && \
git init && \
git remote add originhttps://github.com/${GH_ACCOUNT}/${PORTNAME} && \
git fetch && \
git reset --hard ${PORTVERSION} && \
git submodule init && \
git submodule update --recursive
Since submodules are based on git hashes, there should not be a security
issue.
All that's needed is that the git ports hook for extracting needs an
optional "git submodule update --init --recursive" step added to it.
