Yep. The bit that I was worried about was adding a dependency on
/usr/bin/uname - an absolute pathname..
To go that way, would for starters, require the "RELEASE!=" setting
to be changed to "RELEASE!= ${DESTDIR}/usr/bin/uname" and the
dependency should have beed ${DESTDIR}/usr/bin/uname - that would
allow the build-onto-another-drive scenario to work correctly.
I, personally, think the better fix is to get send-pr to read the
release at *run time*. There's no need to rebuild send-pr each time
the system is recompiled.
