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. -Peter >-- >cheers, J"org >joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ >Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
