Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: make
Probably needs upstreaming, but the new version of make in Edgy appears
to have an internal implementation of “echo” which is inconsistent with
the GNU version (or bash builtin), and does not properly handle flags:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/dev/shm$ cat Makefile
foo:
echo -en "foo\n"
/bin/echo -en "foo\n"
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/dev/shm$ make foo
echo -en "foo\n"
-en foo
/bin/echo -en "foo\n"
foo
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/dev/shm$
This can be quite disruptive to output when the Makefile is intended to
generate more readable formatted output. The version of make used in
Dapper does not have this issue.
** Affects: make-dfsg (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
