Hello, I've been trying to build GNU mailutils for Debian inside svn-buildpackage, which copies the source to a build area using the debian version as the path. Debian version had been until now "20031103-1", for example. Now, it's something like "1:0.4+20031231-1", and make doesn't like this, due to the colon in the path.
Alfred Szmidt has written a small testcase for this, which is attached. BSD make doesn't choke on this small makefile, while GNU make does fail. Thanks, Jordi -- Jordi Mallach Pérez -- Debian developer http://www.debian.org/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sindominio.net/ GnuPG public key information available at http://oskuro.net/~jordi/
