debian/rules and "git rev-list" in a subshell - Automatically retrieve upstream GIT repository using ISO date to package source tarball

2010-11-06 Thread 韓達耐
Hi list I'm revisiting one of my first Debian packages, "cjk". In debian/rules I have created a "get-orig-source" target that clones the upstream GIT repository and rolls it back up to the ISO date that is found in the Debian package version in debian/changelog (then converted to UNIX timestamp).

Thanks, Joey! I'll avoid the $(shell ...) altogether and use the backticks (even though I prefer the $() syntax in my regular, non-Makefile shell scripts). =) @Harald: linking to bash didn't solve it. Perhaps it was a Bash3-ism. BR -- Danai -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@l
