This patch makes things even more complicated. How about making is simpler, by changing the maintainer's use from make release RELEASE='1.2 stable' to make release VERSION=1.2 RELEASE_TYPE=stable ?

Why two different mechanisms to do the same thing? Is the .tarball-version thing not working for you? Bruno
