We have the -j command now, so it's much less useful. Still I have created
another patch that implements what I explained above: it offers a -R
option to replace debian/rules by whatever you want.
(the other patches were meant for the old shell version of
dpkg-buildpackage anyway)
Frank, any comments or is it safe to commit?
Hrm, the whole split(/\s+/) is somewhat ugly
It's not very nice but works in 99% of the use case that I can imagine.
The alternative is to accept those options multiple times:
-R/usr/local/bin/make -R-f -Rdebian/rules
I didn't find that to be nicer.
(and BTW not documented for the -R option).
It's indirectly documented by the fact that one can use a value like the
example given (/usr/local/bin/make -f debian/rules) which contains
spaces. If you have something more specific in mind, please feel free to
suggest it.
Please do not commit before the upcoming upload, to give
us a chance to think that over.
Sure, I didn't plan to commit before anyway. I don't want to introduce
bugs at the last minute. :)
Cheers,
