[venom-r-oss] kernel/ is a broken submodule gitlink — no kernel source is actually published

[suddenBook]

概述 / Summary

分支 venom-r-oss 上的 kernel 并不是一个目录，而是一个 submodule gitlink（mode 160000）。仓库里既没有 .gitmodules，被指向的 commit 也无法从 GitHub 获取，因此该分支实际上没有发布任何内核源码 —— clone 之后 kernel/ 是空目录。

On branch venom-r-oss, kernel is not a directory but a submodule gitlink (mode 160000). There is no .gitmodules in the tree, and the referenced commit is not reachable on GitHub. As a result the branch publishes no kernel source at all — after cloning, kernel/ is an empty directory.

相关提交 / Relevant commit: 44b47ca81ac1215f125be3fce530044cda1d6690 — "kernel:oss: push the kernel package of venom-r-oss" (2026-05-25, @ZhuangXiang1102)

复现 / Reproduce

$ git clone -b venom-r-oss --single-branch https://github.com/MiCode/MiTV_OpenSource.git
$ cd MiTV_OpenSource && ls kernel/
                                     # 空 / empty

$ git ls-tree venom-r-oss
160000 commit 364ec6a6106b29b095ef97d279e5b6ee08768705	kernel
#^^^^^^ gitlink，且这是 tree 里唯一一项（没有 .gitmodules）
#       gitlink — and it is the only entry in the tree (no .gitmodules)

$ git submodule update --init
fatal: No url found for submodule path 'kernel' in .gitmodules

被指向的 commit 在 GitHub 上不存在 / The referenced commit does not exist on GitHub:

与其他分支对比 / Comparison with the other branches

其余两个分支都是正常的完整源码树，说明这是本次推送的意外，而不是有意的发布方式：

The other two branches contain proper source trees, which suggests this was an accident rather than an intentional layout:

Branch	Root of tree	Status
dangal-p-oss	42 entries — COPYING, CREDITS, Documentation/, Kbuild, Kconfig, …	✅ real kernel tree
machuca-p-oss	android/, apollo/	✅ real source
venom-r-oss	1 gitlink, no .gitmodules	❌ empty

14 个 fork 全部早于该提交（最新为 2024-01-31），因此无法从 fork 恢复。
All 14 forks predate this commit (newest 2024-01-31), so the content cannot be recovered from them.

可能原因 / Likely cause

kernel/ 目录在打包时自身带有 .git，于是 git add kernel 记录成了 gitlink 而非文件内容。

The kernel/ directory most likely still contained its own .git when it was staged, so git add kernel recorded a gitlink instead of the file contents.

建议的修复 / Suggested fix

任选其一 / either:

1. 推荐 — 删除 kernel/ 内层的 .git 后重新提交实际文件（与 dangal-p-oss / machuca-p-oss 保持一致）:
   Remove the nested .git inside kernel/ and re-commit the actual files, consistent with the other branches:

   rm -rf kernel/.git
   git rm --cached kernel
   git add kernel/
   git commit && git push

2. 或者保留 submodule 形式，但需要补上 .gitmodules 并且把被指向的仓库公开。
   Or keep it as a submodule, but add .gitmodules and make the referenced repository public.

背景 / Context

对应机型为 Xiaomi MiTV，代号 venom，MediaTek/MStar M7632，Android 11，内核 4.19.116：

The affected device is the Xiaomi MiTV codenamed venom, MediaTek/MStar M7632, Android 11, kernel 4.19.116:

ro.build.fingerprint = Xiaomi/venom/venom:11/RTM5.220609.003/2674:user/release-keys
ro.product.vendor.model = MiTV-MOOR0
ro.board.platform = m7632
Linux version 4.19.116++ #1 SMP PREEMPT

该提交的 message 表明发布内核源码本就是预期行为，Linux 内核按 GPLv2 也要求提供对应源码，所以这里应当只是一次推送失误。如果能补齐，将非常感谢。

The commit message shows that publishing the kernel source was the intended outcome, and the Linux kernel is GPLv2-licensed, so this appears to be simply a failed push. It would be much appreciated if it could be re-pushed.
