Which means that if you call make on it directly, it doesn't work, since the environment variables aren't set and all the stuff that shell script does then isn't done. I don't really agree that it's a false positive, although I agree that it will happen to work given how we currently build packages. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
