Hi, I've noticed some problems with packages that I took over from others or that I'm packaging as security manager.
I normally issue a command similar to "make -f debian/rules build"
to get the package compiled. I'm normally doing this with new
packages before I add my patches. After I've added my patches
often this command doesn't re-build the files.
The reason is that inside of debian/rules a stamp-file is used
to indicate that the build process was successful. Unfortunately
this stamp-file is called 'build' - similar to the target I have
to use. As there are normaly no depends on the build target
make will refuse to run the build stage.
I'd like to make it policy that the stamp-file is NOT called
'build' but something else, I still use stamp-build like in
the early days - the name is intentional.
Comments?
Regards,
Joey
