I just didn't know what it was. For me, the old line does what I want it to, while the new one doesn't. Now that I have looked more closely at this, the code in question isn't really perl, as much as shell code, so I will ponder another solution.
Here is another workaround, that works for me, and this may be something that can best be fixed in the documentation. in ~/.devscripts: old line: DEBUILD_DPKG_BUILDPACKAGE_OPTS="-m'Joseph Rawson (new email) <umebos...@gmail.com>' -sa" new line: DEBUILD_DPKG_BUILDPACKAGE_OPTS="-m\'Joseph\ Rawson\ \(new email\)\ <umebos...@gmail.com>\' -sa" Escaping the single quotes, the spaces and the parentheses seems to work just fine with the new code. I think that this solution might be better. -- Thanks: Joseph Rawson
