Hello Mentors, When ran in the shell or in a $$() construct, dpkg-parsechangelog | grep Ver | perl -ne '/\s(.*?)\-/ ; print $1' gives me the upstream version number of my package.
Howerver, the following expression does not work as expected in debian/rules: VERSION=$(shell (dpkg-parsechangelog | grep Ver | perl -ne '/\s(.*?)\-/ ; print $1')) Apparently, the perl oneliner returns the whole string. Is there a cleaner method to get the upstream version number in debian/rules ?
