Variants of make install DESTDIR=$(TMP) PREFIX=/usr should be OK: the PREFIX override is ignored but /usr is the default anyway. The buggy ones are those that set the temporary installation path with PREFIX: make install PREFIX=$(TMP)/usr Grepping debian/rules (and debian/local.mk) for install and PREFIX but not DESTDIR gives 227 source packages out of the 1824 in sid matching m/-perl/. I'll set up a mass test rebuild this weekend to verify these and find any other common problems. The first dozen or so I tested all failed to build. A slight complication is that the amd64 and i386 builds of perl_5.10.1-1 in experimental are built but haven't been uploaded yet, so testing this currently needs hand-built binaries. Does anybody know a contact for the amd64/experimental and i386/experimental buildd admins? Otherwise, I suppose I'll upload the binaries myself. -- Niko Tyni nt...@debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
