Error: you are using a Haiku clone without tags

I created a basic raw Haiku disk image using the guidance of this page:
https://www.haiku-os.org/guides/building/compiling-x86_64

./configure --build-cross-tools x86_64 ../buildtools
jam -q -j2 haiku-image
MkDir1 /home/hkkerneldev/haiku0515/haiku/generated/objects/haiku/x86_64/packaging/packages_build/regular/hpkg_-haiku_loader.hpkg

I do not understand the tips given,how do I solve this problem ?

Hi!

Error: you are using a Haiku clone without tags, please set
       the revision tag to use (e.g. HAIKU_REVISION=hrev43210)

Supposedly, adding e.g. “HAIKU_REVISION=hrev50314” to build/jam/UserBuildConfig solves this, see the building guide.

you just should use “git pull --tags”.
