Package: make
Version: 3.81-8
Severity: wishlist

According to some of the reports I've seen, make 3.82 will require some
transitions due to backward incompatibility on GNU-make-specific
features.  Some bug reports have already occurred for build issues with
make 3.82, such as http://bugs.debian.org/603759 .  It would help to
have make 3.82 packaged in experimental, to start testing builds with
it.

In addition, make 3.82 has various other interesting features available,
such as the new .ONESHELL flag to avoid spawning a new shell for every
command in a target.

Thanks,
Josh Triplett
