Answered in the thread"Checkout a tagged release’s source code (like v17.01.0-rc1)"
I am sure that sooner or later there will be a flood of questions how to checkout the exact release source code for a tagged release (like 17.01.0-rc1), so this is a short guide:
You need to have already cloned the LEDE source repo in advance with
git clone https://git.lede-project.org/source.git
Then you only fetch the tags and checkout the correct one:
git fetch --tags
git checkout v17.01.0-rc1
Example workflow how to fetch v17.01.0-rc1 source:
perus@ub1610:/r7800-lede1701$ git fetch --t…
git clone https://git.lede-project.org/source.git
cd source
git fetch --tags
git checkout v17.01.0-rc2
But if you are building just for yourself, you are usually better off by building from the release branch's head, as you get then also the latest post-rc fixes.
