tags 411038 +moreinfo thanks Hi,
I am not sure what the problem here is, but it appears that $(VERSION) should be defined there. Consider this: debian/ruleset/arches/what_is_ppc_called_today.mk is called from: debian/ruleset/arches/powerpc.mk; which in turn is invoked by: debian/ruleset/architecture.mk, which in turn is called by debian/ruleset/local-vars.mk Looking at debian/ruleset/local-vars.mk, I see: ,---- | $(eval $(which_debdir)) | include $(DEBDIR)/ruleset/misc/defaults.mk | include $(DEBDIR)/ruleset/misc/version_vars.mk | include $(DEBDIR)/ruleset/architecture.mk `---- So, $(DEBDIR)/ruleset/misc/version_vars.mk is called before $(DEBDIR)/ruleset/architecture.mk; and the former should define $(VERSION) and friends. Does this not happen on powerpc? It seems to work fine on i396. manoj -- A woman forgives the audacity of which her beauty has prompted us to be guilty.
