We're planning on going away from setting environment variables to export random information as people prefer to not break debian/rules as a direct interface. So it's unlikely that we're going to apply this patch. Instead we should design some makefile snippet that people can include and that would set all those variables by calling the right scripts. And we need a dpkg-buildflags tool first to deal with CFLAGS and al. Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
