Aha - I just discovered you can do this in cfg.mk: # Update m4-latest.tar.* symlinks during 'make stable/beta'. GNUPLOADFLAGS = --symlink-regex without having to tweak maint.mk. Thus, it is already opt-in, as Simon suggested. -- Eric Blake, Principal Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc. +1-919-301-3266 Virtualization: qemu.org | libvirt.org
