Package: checkinstall Version: 1.5.3-3 Severity: wishlist
invocations such as: checkinstall make CXX="g++-3.4 -O3" install fail because checkinstall interprets the command as a shell command and interprets quoted shell metacharacters (or non-metacharacters such as the quoted space above). This makes it difficult to use such commands, and the obvious workaround of specifying a shell as command is not much easier to use (many shells write files themselves etc.). I think it's better to invoke the command directly without interpreting via a shell, as the shell running chekcinstall already does this. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (700, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.11-rc2 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages checkinstall depends on: ii file 4.12-1 Determines file type using "magic" ii installwatch 0.6.3-1 Track installation of local softwa -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
