If I can manage to make it work, I'll consider it, but it's not release-critical that it work. The Debian package tools have from time to time relied on Unix file system semantics, and it may not always be a fixable problem. > QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches quilt --quiltrc /dev/null pop -a -R || test $? = > 2 quilt pop -R uses cp -rl to create a temporary working directory, which doesn't work in AFS. I'm not sure if moving away from using quilt.make and instead rolling our own so that we can remove -R (and lose some safety offered by it) is really worth it for Debian package builds in AFS. I recommend making a practice of always copying the package onto local disk and building it there. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
