Here is the strange part. I've exported SOURCEDIR via /etc/profile and
it is set. However, mergemaster does not recognize it.
Then I export the same variable again on the command line and it works:
# echo $SOURCEDIR
/clutter/src
#
#
# mergemaster -Ui
*** /usr/src was not found.
Found Makefile.inc1 in the current directory.
Would you like to set SOURCEDIR to /clutter/src? [no and exit]
**** No suitable /usr/src found, exiting
# SOURCEDIR="/clutter/src"
# export SOURCEDIR
# mergemaster -Ui
*** Creating the temporary root environment in /var/tmp/temproot
*** /var/tmp/temproot ready for use
*** Creating and populating directory structure in /var/tmp/temproot
This is currently a little beyond my understanding?
