The debian/rules file in the vdr* packages _is_ a makefile. It just doesn't have the shebang line required by policy. I don't think there's anything that prevents you from including it. Also, if SPECIAL_VDR_SUFFIX is not set, /usr/share/vdr-dev/make-special-vdr.sh just calls make -f "$@", so I don't see why calling, for example, "debian/rules -d clean" would not work as expected. It sounds like several people in this discussion are shooting at an easy target without looking at the specific details. -- | Lucas Nussbaum | lu...@lucas-nussbaum.net http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: lu...@nussbaum.fr GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
